Appeal to authority is lame and you are being closed minded. I’m guessing you haven’t read Paul Krugman’s “What Economists (Including Me) Got Wrong About Globalization” essay, anything from Lionel Gilbert prize winner, Bloomberg’s fifty most influential list, and highly, highly respected by...

When did you become such a doomer? Join a cult or something? No clue why anyone would think Trump will dismantle social security. That’s definitely not happening. Trump TCJA was marginal help to low income seniors, marginal but everything helps when affording basics is tough. He campaigned on...

I run into a **** ton of high level “journalism” on twitter. Lot of PhD’s with decades of history in their heads. That, and the N Korean soldiers binging on porn after Russia introduced them to the internet. Where else can you get stuff like that?

This neo-Con bull **** is the real reason Trump won. It’s dumb **** dumb and nobody buying it anymore. If you gave two ***** about Ukraine, all the rapes and deaths and destruction, then you’d be out stumping for Trump instead of praying for Kamala “Dick Cheney” Harris. The neo-Cons supported...

It’s easy to encourage people to do what we feel is rights, tax them. Sin tax gasoline. Refund it to farmers, truckers, whatever. But if you want to spew unburned carbon in the Honda Civic’s window or roll coal on a cyclist because you hate them and want to impress your **** eating, confederate...

You make some solid points here Jim but you are overplaying your hand. You might have top pair but definitely no full house. Globalization isn’t a catchphrase meaning all production goes to the lowest priced labor. There are 7 billion people on this spinning rock and the vast majority are...

One point I’m gathering from your posts, which seems entirely lost on others, is the massive amount of net migration over the last few of years. No doubt immigration improves the economy (+population growth), that’s Econ 101. However, when immigration is too large then it can become...

Thats not how inflation works. Much, much more complex to answer in full, but raising rates, in aggregate, lowers inflation.

Not sure what you mean. It’s a series. Or ,you didn’t care for it? It’s not for everyone, but apparently I’m a sucker for shows that get canceled early. I’m boycotting Amazon over cutting The Peripheral.

Adds the final marginal buyer? Anyone read Jeremy Grantham’s historical account of bubbles and the traits they all share? It’s about 20 years old but maybe I can still dig it up to share.

The ending of The OA.

It’s ********. Trout spoke highly of him last I spoke to him about a year back.

Your place looks awesome! Congrats on your lifetime achievement, and the grey beard.

September, 2022. You’re late to the party and lots of **** is expensive. Buffett has been loading up on Occidental tho. Maybe piggyback on him if you feel like splashing around?

God is good. "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

I hope you get lucky enough with one that catches fire and makes you a multi-millionaire over night. Also that you're smart enough to cash, unlike those silly diamond ****ing hands people. Funniest part of that saga was they transferred a good chunk of wealth to a few already rich people...

Are you confusing investing in block chain with buying Ethereum? Or trying to conflate the two? Regardless of what these companies are exploring in tech, bitcoin etc. can never function as a useful currency due to the exact limitation that has popularized it. Gold bugs could never understand...

Wife not giving you any after all your crypto gambling losses?

Now that we are past the greater fool phase of this predicted bubble pop, who here is still holding on hoping they are not the greatest fool? And where is that investment advisor who had been telling his clients to buy bitcoin hand over fist?

This war sucks. It did not happen under Trump. Creating whatever beautiful people fantasy about Trump won't change the fact.
