I think we all know what their "hedge funds" will be like.

Imagine the wealth and power of the first ants to discover how to do a colony merger!

When you love studying insects you come to loathe the phrase “economic significance” it’s always about “pest control”

"Two Common Ponerine Ants of Possible Economic Significance”

I know it’s probably a boring book about farms and pest control— but what if it wasn’t? What if it was a financial thriller about an ambitious pair of ants who take on Wall Street. (and only resort to stinging when all else fails) ?

Maybe the world needs such a book.

I would like to think that some people are feeling very cold today, and it's not the weather, it's a creeping sense that there are things well and fully beyond their control.

For most of us, "some things are beyond my control" is a normal part of reality. But there are people for whom this is unthinkable.

Imagine loosing in US politics while outspending your opponent seven to one.

SEVEN to ONE.

"The more strikes a bad actor accrued, the more Meta could charge to run ads, as Meta’s documents showed the company “penalized” scammers by charging higher ad rates."

They made scam ads the best way for them to make money.

Then sought that money.

I didn't even see this.

Yes. He used our public funding option which meant he stopped taking any donations at all MONTHS before the election.
