You should not be able to pardon yourself, for obvious reasons.

Re: Oil Stocks in the post Covid world of EVs and environmentalism

You guys are buying “stories”. I have seen enough stock and sector stories to have decided they are for suckers. I’d rather buy ten oil services companies than ten enlightened futuristic energy companies. Now if they were all priced right, that’s different. But they won’t be. You’ll pay for the sto...

Sorry for being a curmudgeon. Lately it seems too hard to be diplomatic. But what I said is the product of my experience.

When fact checkers lie

Some of you like to rely on so called fact checks.

Re: Oil Stocks in the post Covid world of EVs and environmentalism

Yeah I agree, this "computer" thing will never take off. Photocopiers are where it's at! Gimmie some of that sweet sweet Xerox stock! Never change, baby! Great companies and great stocks are often very different things. You’re cherry-picking. You don’t think a lot of money has been lost on “compute...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

Will we ever, post apocalypse, get the truth about the whys and wherefores of this virus? Given current media subservience to government, I have a lot of doubt. I think any facts that reflect poorly on those in charge will be suppressed. I hate that I’ve come to this point, btw.

Re: Libertarians of Reddit

I don't think you are aware that your wonderful 'free market's is a concept. Hungry, disillusioned, purposeless, individuals who are viewed by you as economic deadweight will very likely be happy to remind you of that fact. Those "hungry, disillusioned, purposeless individuals" are, by and large, i...

Re: Bitcoin - they coming for you

A lot of people have long predicted such a move. So then the question becomes, how anonymous is it, really? If you own it and plan to stay off the radar, you certainly won't be able to use it for mainstream commerce. Then what?

Doodle, why are you obsessed with QAnon? That would be like conservatives projecting Noam Chomsky as the face of mainstream Democrats. It's a strained analogy but it's close enough. I listen to conservative talk radio, watch YT stuff, read, and never come across anyone advocating or even talking abo...

In a shocking development, the AMA has rescinded its ban on using hydroxychloroquine for Covid.

Re: Libertarians of Reddit

I find the left view that the right are fascists ironic (see 'Antifa'). You don't see the right telling anyone what is acceptable to think. That is the hallmark of fascism. I would disagree with that. There are a lot of people on the "right" telling people what is acceptable or not to think, say, a...

If you don't care if someone is transgender, you might be a libertarian. If you want to tell me what I have to believe on the subject, you're definitely not. And, I think that test focused more on internal beliefs, ignoring the tendency or not of the taker to want others to share his beliefs. So if ...

Re: Libertarians of Reddit

You mean I don’t fit into someone else’s box? Oh how troubling.
I must endeavor to conform.

If anyone wants to know, I’m extremely similar to Ron Paul. There is a definite libertine streak in many libertarians, especially those more left leaning. I don’t have that. My apologies.
