Re: Minneapolis violence surges as cops quit in droves

BLM I think was an emotional reaction to legitimate grievances. I think it would be helpful to listen to that link I posted to the Baltimore cop for a fir...

I disagree. BLM and Antifa are getting exactly what they wanted and expected: chaos that allows them free rein over the public in those places.

Re: Your personal political evolution

I sometimes wonder if we would be better off if political positions were filled by lottery, one term only, no elaborate pensions, etc. While a good idea in theory, a sizable chunk of the population does not have enough intelligence to vote, let alone run the country. So if you eliminated the unfit,...

Re: I Think This Forum Should Stick To Investing

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

True. But, for instance, if the governor shuts the gyms and movie theaters and you want to use them, what option is there? Break in and have your way? I agree with Kriegs that one approach is to build a relationship with local law enforcement and get an implicit agreement that you’ll operate your b...

Re: Election Fraud and path forward

I am happy to watch this topic and not post and I'd be happy to hear real arguments that can be made in front of a court. Getting a court to actually hear one of the cases so that discovery can be conducted (to produce what the lefties here call "credible evidence") seems to be the hard part. Most ...

It should be obvious what the correct answer is but I'm sure some of the usual suspects will answer the other way.

I highly approve of the guillotine. But, if you really want inexpensive, painless, 100% effective, no mess, nothing detectable in the autopsy... The way to go is to flood the room with nitrogen gas. Your body cannot tell the difference between breathing 70% nitrogen and 25% oxygen and 5% miscellane...

Re: Poll: What percentage of your gold is held in physical form?

All kidding aside, having a bunch of gold coins hidden at the time of marriage is better than a prenup. Bonus points if you can quietly accumulate and hide them during marriage too so you can pay for life after marriage ( if when she leaves you). >:D Fixed that for you. This is such good advice for...

Re: Here is the evidence

I don't know how to get through to you. Courts sometimes speculate as to what the evidence may, or may not, show before they even hear it. From both a legal and practical standpoint, such commentary is meaningless except insofar as it relates to the narrow procedural issue then before the court. An...

Re: Housing Market Bubble: No Way Out?

The way out is when one of two things happens: 1. The dollar collapses completely, so houses will be $1 billion but an ounce of gold will also be $1 billion, or 2. The Fed finally throws in the towel and stops printing money to buy all the trillions in Treasuries. One of those will happen eventually...

Amazing deal today.

Fractional US gold bullion, legal tender at 1.5% over spot.

I'll be picking up a few.

This is the BEST way to get into fractional today. Buy one and dip your toes in.

A recent medical study found that of people who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 on an RT-PCR test with a cycle threshold of 35 (the standard threshold currently used in the U.S.), less than 3% of them are actually infectious : https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa1491/59126...
