so whats the holdup. why arent we building more plants and burying the waste in the desert

You could hold only enough to match the volatility of the other assets

> for those who contend the American people are all sheep But of course, SARS2 (which variant is it now?) is just as deadly as we're told. But we can lay that question aside. My family is like this, they cannot even have the conversation. They refuse to listen to evidence. But to be fair, I'm still ...

> then combine this with an agenda. Big sigh.

yet, you seem to be the biggest supporter of government and corporate media here =)

Every year the population gets fatter and older, which means increasing "covid" deaths But they closed gyms. Hmm. I should probably buy a standing desk with a treadmill. After a couple months of training I can painlessly go all day without eating. Not overeating after my nightly six pack i...

LA times NY Times WaPo no longer make most revenue from selling papers and hiring aggressive journalists. They are oligarch owned and push those narratives. Greenwald and Jimmy Dore seem to be doing some independent work https://greenwald.substack.com/ "The Agenda" is literally and figurat...

The global labor pool is billions of people and Canada+US borders are looser than ever. Automation taking still more jobs. Low skill labor is in trouble. High skill will never have a problem getting a good wage. eg Bezos is happy to pay someone to run most of his logistics and cloud, but wont pay an...

Illegal immigrants support the party that claims they like immigrants. In CA, they get a driver license. It would be mean not to let them vote.

When I changed middle school from NY to AZ in the 90s, people were shocked by my cynicism :) You can get away from negative people. My investments are pro-growth because of the past mistake of the housing bubble. If I were liquid Id be more defensive, but thats because I have enough (to live in a gh...

Would like to know too. For now I average information from left/right and foreign/domestic sources and ofc follow the money. But mostly I focus on local problems and dont put effort into finding the truth about Ukraine or Palestine.

If a country owes in its own currency, it can inflate away the debt (pay all its bills with monopoly money). Lockdowns are the new tool to shut down protest over inflation (or anything else) If you owe in a currency you cant print....you might have to sell your infrastructure (oil, ports) On the oth...

You're right, but If the US military-industrial complex wants bases on the Chinese and Russian borders, then the Russian and Chinese MIC want bases in Canada and Mexico, to the extent that they can afford it. I want those fights on the other side of the world from my house. Slightly related, with th...

> There ought to be a civilized but firm way to just say no That would be mean. ie not the "woke" communist utopia we're heading for. ofc there was a plan for a pandemic and it had nothing to do with house arrest for healthy people. https://old.reddit.com/r/LockdownSkepticism/comments/zltn...

Nothing is blank and white, and its an emergent phenomenon. Zuckerberg for example is heavily invested in the S&P and needs that to go up, despite that it might contain competitors.

Just as long as the fighting stays far away from me. Here's your pic btw

"There is one major problem though: more than 150 million people are eligible for a fall booster in the U.S. and have yet to get one." That's THEIR problem. Not mine or yours. Get your jabs and masks and protect yourself. edit1: oh she's one of those cheerleaders https://www.instagram.com/...

Florida real estate has strong legal protections, and you can live in it. + No country/state seems more libertarian at the moment.

heh, Canadian state media just posted this, and are getting roasted "Increased heart failure linked to extreme hot and cold" https://twitter.com/CTVNews/status/1602418095431290883 I dunno, if you give billions of injections, and many hit a blood vessel, you'll have some problems https://ww...
