They do, it’s called margin trading, shorting, and options trading. Most private equity firms do it.

14·17 days agoThey are rewarded for pretending to know what they are talking about, and they are chosen for their loyalty. Zero awareness or intelligence.

World News@lemmy.world•Canada to buy Swedish surveillance plane over US modelsEnglish
2·20 days agoThere are people like this in literally every country, pointing out fringe groups does not reflect on the government or the average citizen. Sweden has hate speech laws, and these groups have been regularly shut down when they go beyond the limits of free speech.

3·20 days agoI think you don’t understand the Gripen. Seeing an airplane on radar doesn’t mean that airplane is useless.
Gripens cost 1/10 of the cost to run per flight hour than an F-35, and have all the same capabilities, aside from its radar cross section. For drone defense and stand-off munitions, the Gripen is a better weapon.
Russia never gained air superiority over Ukraine. Even with air superiority, the US military cannot destroy all of Iran’s weapons. Hundreds of gripens hiding in the high north is a nightmare for any would-be Canada invader.

8·1 month agoI’m gonna go ahead and be first to say that palantir is not good. All the government partnerships with them clearly violate GDPR and the AI framework.
Like, it’s good progress that the EU is talking about US companies now, but Palantir should 100% be mentioned in the same breath. At the least because many EU citizens aren’t even aware that Palantir exists.
Hopefully this new law will also apply to Palantir partnerships

3·1 month agoWasn’t Mamdani saying the whole campaign that he promised to keep the NYPD budget in return for the NYPD refocusing on violent crime and the NYPD leadership staying? If he pissed off the entire NYPD things would probably be more expensive.

E = 1/2mv^2
1/2 * 1000kg * 50 km/h * 50 km/h * 0.2778 mh/skm * 0.2778 mh/skm = 96 kJ
1/2 * 100kg * 25 km/h * 25 km/h * 0.2778 mh/skm * 0.2778 mh/skm = 2 kJ
