    Is this a tongue-in-cheek discussion you guys are having about taxes?

    Figure artist here. After many years of pursuing traditional representational study, I've more or less concluded that it's fertility worship. From the woman of Willendorf to Courbe…

    the tumbler-padlock analogy is broken. I know how to pick a lock mostly because the "how it works" info is open.

    I'm in the same boat as you. 25 and starting my career, severely limited by my poor performance in school. Sundays are study days from now on. Hopefully I can catch up.

    What quantifiable system of keeping score is as universally applicaple as money? Money is an awful way to keep score on a global scale, but it seems to be the best we have.

    Okay, good faith response here, just trying to wrap my head around it; >This is where monetary policy comes into play. Any inflationary pressure caused by fiscal policy has to be c…

    Any advice on where to look? I majored in finance because I thought this is what I would learn. Instead they told me to trust in DDM. Waste of money.

    Don't get the finance degree. Everything they teach you will be theory that is literally from the 1950s and has been empirically proven incorrect. Almost all the jobs open to you w…
