Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
Here is a CDC article about children. One interesting tidbit found in the paragraph preceding the "Discussion" heading: A total of eight in-hospital COVID-19–related deaths in persons aged 0–17 years occurred during August 2020–August 2021 (0.4% of hospitalized patients). 8 kids dying in a year is ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Well the slope of the Florida 7 day average deaths curve (I looked at a few sites) is heading downward at about a 60 degree angle. We just don't know where it will bottom, but a normal chart interpretation would suggest it is indeed crashing. I still say (hope) that this time will be the charm, so t...

Re: The GOLD scream room
What a useless asset. I’ve held for 10-12 years and doubled my money. Selling today. A CAGR of 6-7%? That doesn’t sound so bad. The problem is the opportunity cost. Over that time I would have quadrupled my money. You should have mega remorse for not loading up on Bitcoin 10-12 years ago.

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
Getting COVID is a much higher risk for getting blood clots than taking the vaccine That's probably bad math. Because, the odds of getting COVID are not 100%. I don't know all the numbers but if risk of clots is 3x higher from Covid than from the vax, but the chance of getting Covid is 10%, then th...

Re: Vanguard to offer private equity
No, I don't know how VG proposes to handle any of it. I don't know if we are interested but it would be nice to know more. I should look into it at some point. I wouldn't view it as part of the pp at all. More like a business investment.

Re: The Afghan Papers
I'm suspicious of Biden's motives, but so far I have to strongly applaud his stated explanations for getting us out of there, and his disdain for remaking nations in our image. And of course Lindsay Graham is very angry. https://babylonbee.com/news/republican-politicians-vow-to-get-real-mad-and-stuf...

Re: 50 years of dollar as fiat currency
Yes under this system we have experienced some novel, spectacular financial crashes. And what do they do? More more more. It’s one of those things in which “more more more” works until it doesn’t. Then it will be very bad.

Re: FBI Stealing from Safe Deposit Boxes
You have to pick your risks with holding gold. I am still planning to get going on the overseas thing. Per someone's review here, I am looking into SWP Cayman. I like what I see. Is there risk? Yes. So if I do it, it will only be a portion that I can afford to lose.
