Saw #SheHateMe - a #SpikeLee film expressing his disgust with the #Enron scandal (and corporate America in general). Another theme of the film - is the commodification of physically and mentally gifted humans. In our dog-eat-dog World, many humans are forced to resort to prostitution - to get by. Ⓐ
#ENRON2.0 VC's get to control electricity generation after Ai bubble fails, leasing back data centers for crypto mining, thereby controlling peak use therefore electricity futures. Last 5 years proof of concept as they lost their asses #ENRON 1.0. See map for profit charts

#Enron got caught saaying similar things before their downfall.

Remember #shreddergate that brought down #AndersonConsulting during the #Enron case?

Act Three Scene One THE EARTHQUAKE HITS Sloman (to us) There's a strange thing goes on inside a bubble. It's hard to describe. People who are in it can't see outside of it, don't believe there is an outside. You get glazed over. I believed in Enron. Everybody did. I told people again and again to keep buying that stock and I kept rating it and supporting it and championing it like it was my own child. And people say, how could you? If you didn't understand how it worked. Well. You get on a plane, you don't understand exactly how it works, but you believe it'll fly. You know - and everyone else boarding that plane knows - it'll fly up into the air and take you to your destination, crazy as that may seem. And if you got out your seat, said I'm not flying, I don't know how it works,' you'd look crazy. Well, it's like that. Except. Imagine if the behef that the plane could fly was all that was keeping it in the air. It'd be fine. If everybody believed. If nobody got scared. As long as people didn't ask stupid questions. About what it is keeps planes in the air. September 11th 2001. They improvise their responses. Eventually. • Ken Lay comes out to give a speech. As the speech goes on, Lay becomes surrounded by tiny pieces of shredded paper being blown all over him, all over the stage. He keeps trying to carry on regardless. The shredding represents the huge destruction of documents going on at Enron and Arthur Andersen. Lay Well, I'm delighted to be back in charge. In more normal circumstances, Id have a few words to say about September the 11th. Just like America's under attack by terrorism, I think
“It’s a strange thing goes on inside a bubble,” [note: #genAI is not ONLY a bubble; this isn’t a perfect analogy. But the extent to which it and the US government are mutually captured by a necessity of overvaluation may be very similar.] #enron #digitalGovernance #regulation #ethics #AIEthics
Scene Six TEXAS VS CALIFORNIA The floor is flooded with Traders. During the following, Traders are manipulating Calijornia's electricity market by moving energy around. It should be tremendous fun, extremely fast, physical and overlap is encouraged. Skilling (addressed to the Traders) Gentlemen. We've finally got our chance to move out all across the country. This is about competition. A deregulated system means one thing and one thing only controls electricity. The market. The market is supposed to show the weakness of regulation. The free market is there to show regulators how wrong they're getting it. I'm setting you free in California, fellas, bring it on home. Trader 3 California! Yes, people, an electricity market of such complexity, designed by people of such simplicity.
RECOUNT: FLORIDA CALLED FOR BUSH. Skilling What does that mean? Fastow If you need actual capital... Skilling But they called it for Gore. Fastow If you need cash coming in the door, actual cash, then you need to sell something real. Skilling I've sold everything! So, what, have we won?! Fastow Fox says yes! Skilling CNN says no. Screens go blue. FLORIDA RETRACTED FROM BUSH. Fastow No! Skilling What the fuck are they doing? Fastow Well, they gotta decide. Skilling What's going on out there?! Fastow Someone has to call this. Skilling What dumbass is running this thing? Fastow They can't do this. If there's one thing this country won't stand for it's ambiguity. Flicking through channels. Who's won? who's / won?! Skilling Who's won!? Just then, Lay enters, hanging up on a phone call. He is deliberately oblivious to the strange, exaggerated world of LJM. The Raptors scuttle away. Lay Gentlemen. Guess who's just got off a call with the next president

Everyone who works for Google, Palantir, or Musk should read or watch this play about #Enron (from 2010)

Time and again, we see spectacular accounting scandals such as #Signa, #Wirecard, and #Enron. How can this happen so often? Can't it be prevented? Not with regulation alone, at any rate.

This week in The Briefcase, we look at the scandal that changed accounting forever - Enron. From mark-to-market mayhem to the rise of SOX, it’s a story of what happens when no one asks the obvious questions.

Out of place Tony Soprano quotes:
"You want to order something off Doordash?"
"Doordash?! You gotta be high up in the corporate structure to make that work for you. We don't have the Enron type connections for that!"

these revelations… basically #Enron Part Deux
A photo of me taking a selfie in the mirror using my cell phone. I have on a puffy bright neon pink 80s ski jacket with green trim and a big ant on the chest. I also have on a tan ball cap with the Enron logo.
today’s outfit is a blast from the past the #Enron ballcap perfectly compliments my 80s ski jacket #fashion
Of course #Enron comparison gets top billing because of all the *crimes* but we gotta also remember the spectacular implosion of #Lucent in the #DotCom bubble. #NVIDIA
