I have a confession. Given my recent ticketing fiasco at the hands of the local police, I get a strange sense of satisfaction seeing everyday citizens fighting the police. I'm awful, I know.
Unless they just saw the police in those cars rough someone up who didn't deserve it, the people in that video are acting like spoiled dipshits throwing a tantrum. Hell, the police might have been trying to get to an assault, or a rape. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that all those people blocking the cop car would be calling the police if they needed them.
Like this former ESPN reporter, who enjoyed rioting in the poor neighborhoods, but freaked out when they came to his gated community.
I saw that on Twitter. It was told as “A story in 3 pictures”
9pm EST Explosions in Iran (Isfahan) and Syria and Iraq. Not yet confirmed.
Smith,
Re your sig: VTINX in an IRA and a bunch of VMMXX in an after tax account for emergencies and/or several years of expenses is looking pretty good (especially if retired and nearer the end than the beginning). And is super simple!
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

I know most people on this forum are not fans of Peter Schiff, but this interview on YouTube with the Mind Pump channel is really awesome.

I often wish I was American (pandemic notwithstanding) so that I could enjoy your guys' economies of scale. Canada has the dubious distinction of having the highest mutual fund fees of any country in the world. Thank goodness Vanguard expanded to Canada a while back.

I liked Schiff's stance on government that he put up where he walked around Occupy Wall Street talking to people.
HILARIOUSLY awesome video. Just seeing all the people he was talking to who thought they were going to steamroll him -- pure gold. Heh, gold.
I don't agree with absolutely everything he says. I don't like the idea of totally abandoning U.S. stocks, for instance. Largely though, I think he makes a lot of sense.
