Oligarchy is so in right now dude

Aristocracy has never left lol. Why would anyone be willing to give up their power?

Boy sure seems like you fellas got a capitalism problem round these parts

It’s never been any different

Doing some research and I found out that Joshs brother Jared formed Affinity Partners. Affinity just got a 1% stake in the EA sale to Saudia Arabias Public Fund (93% stake) for $55 billion lol

1% isn’t much but apparently Jared approached MBS for the deal so I’m guessing he has a ton of influence regardless

This is not entirely new, just have the Internet to shine a light on it. Now we need to do something about it.

I miss the days my family owned 10

The second collapse of the soviet union

Yeah there’s a chart going around about how the entire stock market is propped up by 5 or 6 large tech/ai companies who do billion dollar deals with each other. Hot potato with the same money bags. None of this is real

It’s all the same money moving in a circle. The USA is turning into a Ponzi scheme at the top meanwhile you and I are being nickel and dimed and priced out of living an average life

Facts

It would really only take a handful of companies

Like nvidia

it doesnt help USD has severly degraded since 2008. take a look at USD/Gold chart, showcases the real consequences of money-printing and US Debt worsening.

Part of sports franchise values are the media rights deals that get signed with the leagues. And those media rights deals just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Eh 12 billon for the NBA’s most iconic and successful franchise with a top tier superstar in his prime doesn’t seem that crazy

That really contextualizes how crazy this sale is. FBI investigation aside, Walter made a killing

And in a decade, Iger turned that from the most valuable IP in the world to a TV property about a wafer-eating puppet.

Wild, considering Star Wars has more value and meaning than that tired old gag known as the LA Lakers ever will.

Bob Iger is “good” (relative term) compared to Kushner. As powerful businesspeople go, he was competent and didn’t have any major ethical scandals.

I’m surprised he teamed up with Kushner though because their political connections don’t exactly line up.

Iger is also in his mid-70s so may not even own the team for very long.

He’s under major criminal investigation

What did Jeanie Bus do? She sold it the guy who owns the Dodgers. Who would complain about him

Would

Nah, Mark Walters just got pressed by the president. 

Or the fact the fed are investigating and by the time that investigation wraps up a new government will be in control…

He’s gonna need to give a lot of money to Trump so he tells the feds to drop the criminal investigation.

It’s because Mark Walter saw my comment in the previous thread about him needing the money for another Dodger $500 million contract. He was like that idiot on the internet is right we do need to sign another big contract to piss other MLB fans off more.

poor people hate this one simple trick

I mean the s&p 500 is also up 25% since he bought the Lakers.

Yes. That 12.5 billion will never be paid in full. The investigation will disappear and they’ll flip the Lakers for profit.

No, net

He’s not going to profit. The investigation is going to go away.

Why would they, Kushners are really good friends with Silver and literally is the nephew in law of the president
