Why is Congress being so cheap???
Set it at $30! That will really benefit all workers. I mean, there is no downside, so why the heck not?

Just looking at a few US states, it looks like COVID is falling off a cliff over the past two weeks. Yes? Has it been met with an equal increase in the flu? :o By last summer I figured there wouldn’t be much flu because of the COVID precautions. I know you don’t want to believe that, but I do.

Just looking at a few US states, it looks like COVID is falling off a cliff over the past two weeks.
Yes?

I got my Pfizer vaccine yesterday. I'm at a higher risk than most because I have cancer. My arm was sore for about a day and I had mild flu symptoms that have already dissipated. It's given me a greater sense of reassurance already. I have decided that I’ll get vaccinated when I can. Sorry to hear ...

Like the author, I continue to struggle to understand the attraction to crypto currencies. Even though they continue to climb higher and higher with no end in sight I have no desire to get involved...it's like a parallel universe to me that plays no part of my reality. Author presents a number of c...

How Anthony Fauci Survived Donald Trump The new White House chief medical adviser explains what it was really like to work for an administration that tried constantly to undermine him. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/anthony-fauci-trump-biden-and-covid-19-crisis/617838/?utm_sou...

Are big Corp and big Finance making most of their money at the expense of others, or are they growing the pie? I don’t know. It’s easy to say it’s at the expense of others. But I bet we can think of a lot of ways they add value.

Dear friends, Hope you are totally healthy and away from pandemic. I would like to know your opinion about this transformation of portfolio in US-PP. Having only: 1/3 GOLD + 1/3 LTB + 1/3 STOCKS It is a new portfolio to me and I want to add NEW fresh money every year to it, so I don't think I need ...

I know it is tempting to feel one has to get in before it’s too late. But a lot of the too late scenarios would be problematic. I have some FOMO, but if it’s truly going to have a great future, it should be okay to wait.

Cancel Culture is a Dress Rehearsal for Mass Murder.
This is exactly my point.

https://www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2021-02/227357_5_.png I wonder how North and South Dakota are able to generate 30% of their power from wind...(double that of Texas) with some extremely harsh winter weather rather routinely. To start with, I bet they don’t heat with electricity. i woul...

And in a world with UBI and universal healthcare, what does IQ even matter? Everyone will have the same access as everyone else.

The stupider a person is, the better they will adapt to UBI. Talk about good luck.

I get colds and have trouble with them. No job and no kids at home. None during the covid period yet. From now on, when "there is a bug going around", I will be masking, avoiding stores, and washing hands. Usually that's only a few weeks in early winter.

You do realize, if left alone, Texas would be the 10th largest economy in the world. If Texas were to secede, keep all of the taxes sent to Washington, you think federal aid would ever be needed? Texas has been a "recipient" state rather than a "donor" state since maybe 2017 or ...

Some things are too hard to look at.

Is the J&J vaccine of the old fashioned variety? A lot of people say it will be a game changer. Why? Because it's a single dose? But it's less effective. Should I prefer it to the mRNA ones? edit to add: Just found this article answering some of the questions. https://vitals.lifehacker.com/whats...

We did a Roth conversion for 150K, and it cost a lot in increased medicare premiums. Ouch. Sometimes you beat the system and sometimes it beats you.

The San Francisco Board of Education, after voting to erase names from its local schools such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, is now trying to decide if a gay, white man with a multiracial daughter adds enough diversity to a parent committee of women. As long as they keep Drag Queen Story...

Oh no, not again..... announced a few hours ago :P https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/210212%20-%20Table%20of%20restrictions.pdf Guess we can look forward to this again -> https://www.rebelnews.com/sydney_man_violently_arrested <edit> On a positive note, we went to the Balla...

I think we’ve had the question asked here, “US soldiers wouldn’t fire on us, would they?” Well first the tyranny has to demonize the opposition. Nazis did it to Jews. We did it to the Branch Davidians. Then in both cases, killing them was the right thing to do. Now they are demonizing Trump voters. ...

As a practical matter for Stinky, if you bought a house you wanted to live in for a price you found reasonable, why wouldn't you just keep paying your mortgage in order to live there? And forget about the market value? Or was your idea to hop from one short-term living arraingment to another, and s...

The western world owes its civilizations and tolerant societies to Christianity. I'm not much of a Christian but even I can see that. Contrast the tolerant mainstream Christian view with the intolerance of the atheist left. Big difference. Yeah, gimme Christian society any day. Even the evangelicals...

Why, in a world of near zero interest rates, should a 4% SWR hold up? How many of the study periods were at such rates? I’m a big skeptic when it comes to basing investment on past performance anyway. It’s informative, but you need to try to relate it to the here and now. A few months ago I posted t...

When in doubt, make some more money. Why play Russian Roulette?

I go back and forth on this. Cash is supposed to be for tight money. That’s a laugh in this new world banking order. So I don’t care what anyone does with their cash portion. LTTs have done their deflation job quite well. Hard to make a case going forward. To me a five year substitution for both is ...
