    Is that supposed to be an insult? I love communism and circus performers, they both bring joy to the masses

      This dude is 100% correct and I have no idea why people are downvoting him. Sales make people more likely to buy a product due to being limited. Limited time sales work better than lowering prices in the long term. It's why indie games do stuff like release their new games with time-limited 10% off discounts.

        Which each have their own groupings of companies traded. Foreign stock markets only matter if you're a trading firm.

          I hope that he decides to work on a neutral payment processing system. Cooperating with the EU's Linux initiatives, he can probably put quite a bit of weight onto the scale, making a digital Euro into a thing.

          What a coup if they solve the problem by building their own payment processor company

            The EU now has a digital wallet payment system in a trail run https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/digital_euro/html/index.en.html Would be neat if they integrate it

            So much for cash anonymity. Unless a payment system is completely anonymous whilst supporting secure transactions, it's a non-starter. Unfortunately the EU does not appear to be able to tolerate privacy for its citizens, hence constant attempts to undermine and curtail any privacy/anonymity-first technologies or concepts.

              Not sure exactly what you're trying to say here but I guarantee 0% of that wealth came from his investments in Linux support. Their investment in Linux is mostly a way of keeping MS in check, as in "if you try to fuck us the way Apple does with iOS, your customers will leave Windows because they'd rather have something where they can play their giant library of existing games".

              No, it's not a way to keep anything in check. It's a way to not pay license fees to Microsoft.

                    > I love communism And I'm sure you live on one of the many successful communist countries in the world today. Oh, wait. > and circus performers Well at least you have high self esteem. > they both bring joy to the masses The masses\* \* the portion of them that is not in a gulag, is not disappeared, doesn't have its rights curtailed due to social credit decline for disagreeing with the regime, wasn't purposefully starved to death during the holodomor, and so forth. And don't get me started on the evils of the circus performers who propagandise for them from the comfort of their liberal democracies. There is a reason communism is treated with equal acrimony to nazism in every former soviet satellite state, m8.

                          Paying less is good. I love sales, but they are still a psychological manipulation to get you to spend more money than you normally would.

                            This man never does interviews. Then the one interview he does in the last 30 years is trash-tier editing of a vertical video of a laptop screen in a Zoom meeting from 20 feet away, that's only uploaded as Shorts, by some guy who only has 7 total videos uploaded ever. WTF is up with that?
