If we model the stock market as a random walk/Weiner process and I got the math right, I think you're almost certainly going to make money (if you stop when you reach a given profit threshold), but you will have arbitrarily large drawdowns. This is similar in terms of the risk/return profile to the martingale betting system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

From https://www.evunite.com/blog/tesla-owner-demographics/ :
> Based on data pulled from 2,650 Tesla owners, the average household income of a Tesla Model X owner is $143,177 per year.
> The average household income of a Tesla Model S owner is $153,313 per year.
> This compares to the United States national medium household income of $78,500.
143k is about the 85th percentile ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United... )
So, this is at least upper middle class.

That means the fans need to be cleaned of dust.
A laptop overheating from few minutes of 100% CPU is not normal.

The graph is different as it shows the wealth share, not the income share.
> I'm not going to try and debate anything with someone who thinks economics is the only measure of life, you're too narrow minded.
I don't think money is the only measure of life. Then what do you want to use to measure it?

How is Pewdiepie exploiting poor people? The poor people agreed to it and they objectively benefited.
