If stock market always goes up in the long run, I bet you can mathematically prove that just investing all your money as soon as you have it beats any dollar cost averaging where y…

Not sure why I got down-voted, but what I said just happened - https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1337 . The depositors will be made whole.

Money is just a number on the ledger for the government. They can just give back everyone's deposits or maybe wait for a few months until it becomes a major crisis and then bail ou…

It made sense to lock everything down when we did not have an effective vaccine. Now we do. Why is Xi forcing lock downs instead of vaccinating people? Covid is endemic now just li…

I wish it was just a cold war. It has turned into a real fucking disaster. Despot Putin does not seem to be backing off, and perhaps will destroy all of Ukraine's vital infrastruct…

Another bigot. So hard to please everyone.

I don't know what fantasy well-functioning economy you are taking about. You had to manually call a taxi company, and wait for an hour for a taxi that might now even show up.

Wow, a rich privileged dude from a first world country trying to comment about how WHO is desperately trying to save people in poor countries.

I don't know which world people like Dorsey live in. There is a massive chip shortage (all over the world) and energy shortage (in China and Europe). We don't have enough energy to…

Lets not forget about OPEC+. They reduced the supply significantly due to the pandemic and haven't increased the oil supply back to the normal levels. Higher oil prices is causing …

The traditional IRA and 401k were introduced in 1974, the Roth IRA in 1997. They were never intended for rich or poor people to speculate in risky one-off investments. How does thi…

For me, it seems like youtube's recommendation system mostly gets stuck in the local optimum. Once you watch a video from a particular channel, it'll keep on recommending the video…
