Humans consistently underestimate corruption, because they look in the mirror and see an angel who cant be bought They also cant handle the possibility that the covid narrative isnt exactly what they were told. Shatters too much faith in institutions. As Scott Adams said, people are watching differe...

Truth? Politics is information warfare. Vinny hasnt spent a lot of time arguing with women. An American asked a Soviet Professor “What are you doing in the United States?” The professor replied, “I'm here to study American Propaganda.” The American asked, “What propaganda?” The Soviet said “Exactly ...

If China wants to give you EVs at nearly cost. . .take them. Exceptions for national security and food. Global Me...

2008 Fed printed billions and bought toxic MBS. Now the fed is paying banks 4.4% on that cash and the "pandemic" cash. Nice work if you can get it. What happens if they stop paying the banks? Bogleheads deleted my thread as too political and reddit deleted the replies https://old.reddit.co...

For one thing, my income is too low to use the non-refundable foreign tax credit. And freetaxusa cant process it.

And Fed's going to bailout US companies first. Chart is world vs US

Given how tribalism works I suppose ~700 million Chinese think communism is good economic policy

And I'm surprised Vinny can consider "MAGA" Elon a genius

Anthrax is the only bioweapon because the spores can dry out. Even then its a poor and indiscriminate weapon. If conservatives swallow the bioweapon narrative then Trump can claim bird flu is another leak, lockdown again and finish off small business and the middle class. edit1 for substance https:/...

Mostly the usual investment-porn but points out that tariffs can cut the profits of the global oligarchs and they dont like that

which is it conservatives. SARS2 was a nothingburger like SARS1, MERS, and the global pandemic of 2009. Or an unprecedented "bioweapon" that justified martial law on US soil.

Bough a little PFIX. But I might be making a mistake, maybe I should simply hold less EDV.

Greeny praised the gold standard after leaving office too. He was paid millions to troll and I probly would've too. ergo term limits on all gov positions as power always corrupts.
