Fiscal conservatism!

Nah, you are looking at it the wrong way. This will be a vast money-making opportunity for the government. Do you know how many people will be willing to pay big money for the opportunity to take a sledgehammer to these projects?

We might be able to retire the national debt.

No, this is the first World Cup that has a minimum height requirement of 5'8". Otherwise they rightfully send them to the U18 teams

Quote from: JWags85 on June 05, 2026, 04:04:19 PMI mean better/worse for something like this is arbitrary, IMO.  There are some rules that were just made for structure and organization to markets/indicies/publicly traded companies/etc..., not as some explicit protection for investors, retail or otherwise.

Even if in the most cynical viewpoints, changing rules about index inclusion/admittance for SpaceX was being done to benefit VCs or big money invested in SpaceX already, I don't really view it being some harmful change.  As I said, these things constantly change as both private and public companies and markets change and the majority of similarly benign changes happen with less media scrutinized companies as the catalyst.  Even with players as controversial and polarizing as Musk and SpaceX, sometimes things can just be neutral in outcome, not a specific good or bad (provided you don't have an overwhelming bias that colors all actions of someone in the same way).

To be fair, it was probably well overdue to eliminate the day trading rule.  Even understanding the rational behind it and what is was supposed to protect/limit, in this day and age, there are so many brokers.  When I was at my option trading degeneracy peak, I had 4 different brokerages I regularly used and moved funds between specifically so I could easily get around it.  Many others do the same, its not the early 2000s anymore.

I think the elimination of the rule in a vacuum is fine. What I'm doubting is the timing and intent based on the upcoming year of IPOs
