We should periodically remind everyone that, that, they want other peoples' stuff.

I wasn't knocking lobbyists in general. But it needs to be clarified.

Amazon doesn't pay an army of lobbyists because of regulation. Amazon pays an army of lobbyists because the government gives Amazon money.
You know the inner workings of government. But has it worked OK for 249 years? Just asking. what could hve been done better. Do a separate Thread?

You just claimed your investment doubled in worth.
I am saying that will not get you RICH.
Yes, I might have said above that if I or someone makde an investment that it could shortly double in worth. Maybe I said it, maybe I have done it. But it is an example, i am not writing about me.
That aside, you are writing here that (someone who does that) 'will not make them rich". What in world do you say something like that for, Sonhouse? If someone buys 50 shares of NVidia and it doubles, it will indeed not make them rich. Sigh, sometimes I just don't get you sonhouse. Your posts..................

I'm glad to see you practicing your reading comprehension.

Suzianne, I was conversing with Thousand. I think. Hard to tell y'all (you guys) apart.


The forum would be better if y'all could speak more independently, sounding maybe like different people, different ideas, different clever witticisms.
Do you all wear brown shirts? Or multicolored ones for that matter.

?? I take no issue with your math, and possible returns. So, you say $10000 a month ago is now $20k, it is not beoing to make me rich? No, rich is relative, but it would not make me rich. (?)
Then you say 20k on downpayment on a car would be a good downpayment on a car, I do not know what you are saying. So would $2000, so would $30,000. What are you talking ab ...[text shortened]... ou surmise that??
Please dont answer this post. But you could write something that makes sense.
Interest a bank or credit union would give you for burying your money in their bank.
You could get lucky and invest that doubled value in other investments which will not follow the rise of Nvidia so I think NV peaked out and any gains henceforth will be a lot more modest. Still not making you rich.

Is $11.6 billion of public dollars too much or too little for Amazon?

I think they've had enough of our money.

It has not worked like this for 249 years. Excessive public debt started with Reagan and was accelerated by every Republican president since then.

Give it to Amazon's workers in the form of lower taxes, or use it to pay interest on all the debt that's building up. Enough with the corporate welfare.

Has anyone gotten anything new out of these posts about investments, interest, etc>. Who are you taling to Sobhouse and what is your point. People wiht money make money? People who do not invest do not make money on investments? What?
You might want to do another post. How aboout DEI. Should we do DEI or merit-based hiring?
