CCP oligarchs own the businesses that pay the tariffs.

Unrelated, why covid was peak Socialist. Minding your own business without a mask n'jab was a crime

Commies lament that Americans will pay tariffs. So? We pay tax either way. As if its "empathy" like covid (the seniors!) and not an effort to twist the narrative against conservatives. You can tell CCP will eat most of the tariffs by how riled up they are, astroturfing reddit. And the fact...

Nice, negotiating for a Bolt EV next week I'll print that post

I dunno about making trades based on Trump said X. How to do the inverse?

A type of Sunk-cost fallacy. eg I think gold is too expensive and would tell someone not to buy. Meanwhile I hold because Im committed as if it were a house you cant easily unload. Paper assets are liquid, you're buying back in everyday

Gold isnt an investment, it doesnt do work like a house or a tractor. Its savings, and it doesnt go up, its dollar going down.

But there arent good alternatives if you want global diversification

Blindly buying the index is well established as better than picking. There's an AI narrative bubble but it could take years to pop, and then there will be another narrative that distorts some other sector.

Rates are going to zero, but who will be given loans at zero besides government. Er, Orangeman personally.

UK culture is smarter than ours but they went dystopian fast. 1984 written there, after all. We're stupider but US decentralized structure allowed Texas and Florida to push back. With centralization there's only a small politburo you need to corrupt.

Sound right? Is it worth wasting disk space on these shadowcopies given the way SSDs fail? Anybody restored from a shadowcopy?

Charge to 100% when you get low battery warning then unplug. Operating systems are designed for that. Trend of taking away user control and customization. I dont like that I cant take the battery out of new laptops and throw it in the fridge.

Male ego gets everything done dunno if Rand pointed that out. Libertarian women are "so skaars soos hoendertande". As rare as chicken teeth. Meanwhile "stay safe" is back and reddit's allowing commies to call for violence https://old.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/1lsn8ap/morni...

If you buy EDV with 5% yield you'll get all that after 25 years. what the principle is worth depends on the rate at time of sale

Long bonds are the hated asset. You're supposed to buy that. EDV at 5.18% has room to fall and the government cant afford rates higher. Unless they forget long bonds exist and the Fed funds the government with short term only as the new normal. Then only private citizens will trade long bonds and ra...

Gold wasnt the only money tho. Other things were traded if the local oligarch had all the gold.
