I'm not making that comparison. Not sure where you got that from. If you want me to make that comparison: The net effect of taking that cash out and burning it or spending it on an…

I agree entirely. Perhaps they should be seen as wasteful here and it certainly shouldn't be beyond judgement. For reference, I do practice such things. My entire computing and mob…

The Earth's magnetic field and poles do change slightly, but it's not the end of the world as those guys would suggest. It's quite interesting really purely from a science and navi…
