Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I don't know about everybody else but I'm finding the resistance we're seeing to the Biden vaccine mandates both surprising and encouraging. Nurses and other health care workers along with people in the airline industry, pilots and air traffic controllers especially, seem to be the leading the char...

My second choice would be Hawaii. Been there once a few years ago but we're heading for Maui at the end of the month to spend a week.

I've lived in Florida for 40 of my 72 years. Most of it in the Tampa Bay area, but also brief stints in Jacksonville and the Miami area.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
In defense of tomfoolery he sent me a PM just before he got banned in which he dropped out of the tomfoolery character and shared some information about our mutual respect for Thomas Sowell.
His posts were confusing and troll-like to be sure but I think he meant well.

If you go to conservative sites like Breitbart or Revolver you get all kinds of stories about people dying after taking the vaccine plus ful...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I don't know if I would call it "repression" but IMO the airport security measures after 9-11 have in common with mask mandates that they are both primarily theatrical in nature without that much to do with real security/safety. So with the mask mandates you now get a double dose of theate...

Re: Why isn't gold moving?
I think maybe there has to be more gloom and doom in the air before people start fleeing to safety. As long as stocks are still cranking along and staying ahead of inflation investors aren't going to worry about it that much. A major stock market correction, coupled with continuing inflation, might ...

Re: China Bans Cryptocurrency Transactions
Private ownership of gold was once banned in the U.S.A. so I guess Crypto is just following the same pattern. Government printing presses don't like competition. If they got really serious about it like they did with gold how hard would it be to shut down Crypto altogether? Much easier than gold, it...
