Re: Bombing Syria
That didn't take long. Jimmy Carter's record of never bombing a country since bombing countries became popular remains intact. Strangely he is considered one of the worse presidents ever. Not sure but this might have set a new record for how soon a new president bombs another country. I read somewhe...

It shouldn't be funny.....but it's funny! ;D This would be a comparable image from the days of my youth during the Cuban missile crisis. The only difference was that in hindsight this really was an existential crisis. In terms of silliness the idea that hiding under your desk will save you from a n...

It offers the best analysis I've seen of how Treasuries performed during the spring 2020 stock market meltdown along with cautious predictions on what makes sense going forward given negative real yields across all maturities.

Re: Minimum Living Wage
When person X says that person Y needs to pay person Z more money for his work I figure that person Y says WTF and person Z agrees with person X. As for person X, he has no skin in the game other than person Z's vote.

Re: COVID Cases Sharply Declining: Why This Is Worst Case Scenario
Saying "i know a guy on the internet who goes by the handle KingKongAlBundy lost his great aunt from Covid" isn't really evidence of a pandemic. I know 500,000 Americans who died of Covid. They were all my brothers or sisters. Dead. I assume you're referring to the way the racist virus deliberately...

Nice thing about it is there is no chance either one of us will be wrong.

Very Good observation.

Not sure I really want to do it yet but I thought I'd check out the availability in my county (Pinellas, FL). The website where you make an appointment said it was only available to those over 65 which qualifies me but then it said "No Appointments Currently Available". No indication of when that mi...

Re: Bitcoin as a complement or alternative to gold in the PP
The fact that IRS form 1040 now asks "At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?" leads me to believe that bitcoin might be good for speculating, but not much else. I saw that on the form too and posted about ...

Like they had to do landing a man on the moon using slide rules. As you probably know, despite that popular phrase they did have computers, albeit rudimentary ones.

Re: Math is cis-heteronormative racism!
Fair enough. I took one course in accounting when I went to technical school for "Business Data Processing". I aced it because to me it was all straightforward math and logic. Didn't run into any of the nuanced stuff you were talking about that I really had to think about. Presumably that would hav...
