As a side bar my wife and i were watching tv and a bizarre commercial came on for the NYT. It was very weird imagery and they kept flashing "truth" on the screen. Pravda anyone?

You can call the material in the NYT a lot of things, but 'truth' is not one of them.

It is actually lack of proper laws and regulations that creates a lot of the situation

The last thing health care needs is more regulations. Less rules would would create a better market based solution. But of course, that's way to Libertarian of a perspective, so never mind.

I'm hardly neurotypical, but I confess that my one exposure to Monte Python (a movie about 40 years ago in which the characters pranced around on make-believe horses) left me thinking, "I don't get it!" I generally 'got it', I just never thought it was all that funny. Unlike many friends who though...

Wow. Check the gme price before it crashes again.

If it gets back to $300, I will short it. No f*#king options this time.

Ah, I have the diagnosis: Star Trek Syndrome. Cortopassi you've been watching a lot of STNG reruns lately, admit it! Maybe it will turn out the way you predict, in a few hundred years. You have to admit they were spot on with the cell phone prediction, except that one was copied from Get Smart. May...

Frankly I'm a bit turned off by white basketball players. Have white people not stolen enough from the African American community but now to take their official sport as well? Basketball has been a historically African American sport and as a white person, I get disgusted when I see other whites cu...

When person X says that person Y needs to pay person Z more money for his work I figure that person Y says WTF and person Z agrees with person X. As for person X, he has no skin in the game other than person Z's vote. True. But person Y can vote against person X in the next election and cancel out ...

The fact that IRS form 1040 now asks
"At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?"
leads me to believe that bitcoin might be good for speculating, but not much else.

All the talk about accounting in a thread about math being racist makes me wonder if now the IRS will have different rules for POC. If math is racist, isn't a 1040 form racist? So wouldn't you be able to put anything you want into the boxes and get away with it unless you are a cis white male*? *If ...

The federal government is hiring dentists. I believe the retirement "vests" after 5 years, so if you want to work for 5 more years you could do it for the government and get a pension. From what I've been told, the minimum vesting period is 10 years, and then at only a small fraction of your final ...

You basically get the return of ITTs with the stability of a money market fund. In it's entire history the G fund has never went down even for a day.

It's unbelievable that I used to suffer horribly with colds and the sinus infections I would get afterwards for weeks every winter.

It'll be interesting to see what measures actually work to limit colds. Most of what people are doing now have already been shown to be useless. And, it takes prolonged contact to catch bugs, so shopping and restaurant dining aren't the problem. Definitely stay away from airplanes and crowded theat...

I get colds and have trouble with them. No job and no kids at home. None during the covid period yet. From now on, when "there is a bug going around", I will be masking, avoiding stores, and washing hands. Usually that's only a few weeks in early winter. You will also get the desired effect by not ...

On the other hand... I'm glad I didn't buy into 7.62, since my investments had a much higher return than 7.62 did. I'm a magazine half full kind of guy. Kinda like me when I go golfing. I usually shoot around 5 over and I get way more value per stroke than most other golfers. Translated: Lose 5 bal...
