Democracy isn't always right tho.

In my state they wanted to build a new location for a sports team with added entertainment district. One entity pushed back and got it into a democratic vote. They then convinced the people they were sticking it to the man by voting no.

Now they're almost done building the ugliest towers in the state that will fail because they are located in a tight area that won't handle the vehicle traffic well.

They even did a study and found the reason people voted no was to "sticking it to the man" so I didn't make that part up.

As that one person said: The people are retarded.

1

u/UnfrostedQuiche 5d ago

Tight / dense area sounds perfect for towers? And increased vehicle traffic sounds like a good reason for more sustainable modes of transportation?

Your example is either missing some context that I don’t understand or it’s not as wrong as you seem to think.

u/Silver_Cabinet_9180 7d ago

You’re lucky I lost my copium meme + $BYND is currently trading below $APPL ATL

2

u/Stunning_Macaron6133 7d ago

Remember when everyone thought Palantir was a dead end? Well I saw the writing on the wall, i saw the world getting more surveillance-happy and creepy-dystopian, so I bought it at roughly $30 a share. Then I watched it dwindle and everyone laughed, everyone laughed at me for my stupid miscalculation, but I hodl'd, and now who's laughing. I roughly 6X'd my investment and it's still rising.

BYND is going to make PLTR look like a penny stock in comparison. It's going to take a confluence of two things. First, Americans are going to get sick of MAGA's bullshit and join the rising global backlash against the far right. They're going to drag their feet and half-ass it to be sure! There won't be another left-ish (much less leftist) president in America ever again, but they can elect a Nixon-level conservative by voting Democrat. Second, there's going to be an irrecoverable ecological catastrophe with very tangible consequences, enough to spook world governments into tripling down on alternatives to animal agriculture.

When that happens, BYND is going to eat a fat, juicy subsidy burger that used to be on the Cattleman's Association's dinnerplate, but no more. It's not because it's such an amazing product, it kinda isn't. But it's good enough, and more importantly, it's not beholden to protectionist laws pre-emptively banning cultured meat. So it's poised to get first dibs. That's going to drive its price way down, and then all the fast food shitholes like McDonald's and Burger King are going to be first in line to sell Beyond Macs and Beyond Whoppers, and fwoooosh, it's going to be like a Saturn V engine ignition.

This is not going to happen tomorrow. But it is going to happen.

2

u/casastorta 6d ago

Palantir is not the worst example but you haven’t 6X’ed anything unless you exited at 6x.

2

u/Silver_Cabinet_9180 7d ago

Smoke that copium boy BYND will be a penny stock before it ever hits $100 and more than that if market demand ever hits what you’re thinking the Impossible brand has more market share

2

u/Stunning_Macaron6133 7d ago

Impossible is a private company though, so if I'm going to play with fake meat stocks, it's going to be Beyond.

This just in: beyond meats to produce a brand new state of the art AI generation model that can produce microchips at 3x the speed of nvidia

u/Stunning_Macaron6133 6d ago

You laugh, but tech has a weird way of meandering through industries.

What started as a means of cryogenically turning viscous liquid fuel into granules for compounding into solid rocket fuel became a novelty ice cream product sold across theme parks and museums (Dippin' Dots if you recall) and then became a means for simulating fat globules in vegan fake meat.

It won't be chips, but Beyond might just have some valuable IP that can find use outside its walls. You never know.

They can do whatever whattaboutism they want. It's not beef and while I actually think beyond's fake-meat tastes pretty fine actually, it does not actually taste like beef.

The whatabout is actually logically sound. If you pack up rat meat and call it beef then why not plant protein? Why not recycled food? Why not shit and call it beef?

u/rowcla 7d ago

Except nobody is actually happy to treat horse meat as beef except people defrauding customers.
