Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
3. The US attempted no diplomacy and gave zero consideration to Russian security concerns or the people in the Donbass. I actually don't disagree with anything you said. But to clarify, I meant that US diplomacy failed to reel in the Ukrainian government from going after the Donbassians (?). I thin...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
I don’t want Tortoise or Kriegs to think all people who support Ukraine and more specifically the idea of us arming Ukraine as vacuous “Russia bad / Ukraine good” and “I support the current thing” non-thinkers. I mean, if you do believe that, so be it, but it’s not the case. I know the Ukraine gove...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
Do you think by welcoming Ukraine, warts and all, into the fold (perhaps NATO) it may be good for us in the long run? What would the point of that be, other than to lead directly to a shooting war between us and Russia? As current CIA director Bill Burns wrote in 2008, Ukrainian entry into NATO is ...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
By line break... Agree. Should have stopped with Afghanistan. Though I've zero personal problem with knocking off Saddam and pretty sure a majority of Iraqis would say the same (unless in the Saddam/Sunni power structure). Personally, I also think it's a good thing the Saddam government was overthr...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
However, other than 9/11 (from an American standpoint) I can't think of a more worthy war to support in recent times. I'm assuming that you meant "other than the US in Afghanistan , I can't think of a more worthy belligerent to support than Ukraine in recent times." I'd take the opposite ...

I loved Elon's response to Stephen King not wanting to pay $20 for his bluecheck. "Too poor for $20? How about $8?"

Re: Non-ESG ETFs
I think the fund companies would actually prefer to put the choice into the hands of investors. They just vote now because somebody has to do it. I don't think so. The more natural default choice is to not vote (the corporation could have a "present" vote or something). Just hold the shar...

Re: Non-ESG ETFs
The deeper issue is that BlackRock uses their voting rights (as extremely large holders of any company's stock) to actively pressure the board of every major company to adopt ESG values. That's not about choice. It's about direct political coercion. Tyler's got it. I was blissfully unaware that Van...

I thought you get paid the interest for the month on the first day of the next month. So the interest you accumulated in August was paid on 1 September.

I'd love to see these findings replicated.
BTW, one of the most fascinating books I've ever read, Parasite Rex, talked about T. gondii a lot. Definitely recommended.

Probably true. Everything gets corrupted eventually. Yup. On one hand, I don't care about the fleecing of high net worth investors. If they want to pay Vanguard to manage their money for them, and it doesn't affect me? Fine. But I suspect that that kind of thing will start (probably already has) po...
