How did we open the schools in Florida without this?

You can never be safe enough..... https://i.postimg.cc/G2Wdq1kq/Ev-Cg-POPXIAQdls-K.jpg Actually I am a drummer ..I am doing kind of a zoom audition today at 12 pm with a super group of retired big name artists who enjoy playing ...there is a horn section , so we are trying to avoid all of us togeth...

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. Unsurprisingly to most here, the PP/GB "barbell" is looking pretty smart...

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.

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...

I've been hearing a lot about competitors for Bitcoin springing up (I think I read about China starting a crypto currency), so that's enough to make me avoid it for now. At least with gold you know there is only one source for it - that which already exists or can be mined from the earth's scarce n...

I also haven't met a single person who has even gotten COVID. A barber told me she had a friend who got it but didn't even pass it on to her family but that is actually the closest I've gotten to any real world contact with the virus - the rest is all on television or the internet. I'm excluding th...

I figure there is a 50% chance that the permanent portfolio will do well over the next several years and 50% that it will not.

Me too. I use the Golden Butterfly but I give it about the same odds.

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

Very Good observation. In the hospital I was stuck using my iPad day in and and day out ...it has auto type and auto fill of punctuation...when we got home from the hospital I couldn’t sit at the desk top much so I only used the iPad . I became so comfortable using it and laying on the couch or fro...

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...

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 ...

I recently learned that there is such a thing as an Online IRS account just like the online SSA account when I was trying to figure out why my granddaughter didn't get her stimulus money. Tried creating one for myself first. Asked for a credit card number which was apparently verified somehow but t...

I taught two sections of managerial accounting, which was doing accounting for managing a business or organization, not for reporting to the outside world. That was far more interesting and useful. Sounds really sinister. I'm binge watching "Billions" on Amazon/Showtime until my cancelled subscript...

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. Yes, I know but I was thinking about in the Movie Apollo 13 where they had to revert to some slide rules to do some calculations becau...

Couldn't help but notice but since your Covid experience you are now capitalizing the first word in every sentence.

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...
