This is hardly something new. Hard asset type investors were saying this in 2007/08 with the oil spike. Gold bugs were saying this in the mid 80s. Of course this is a misunderstand…

"We need to be more like the Chinese and be smart about this"

Spot on. I am fully vaccinated but at this point it isn't about Covid. To paraphrase Mr. Bonaparte, a politician loves power like a musician loves his music. I have done all I can …

This is the same exact thing that has been happening the past 40 years with this company and Windows. Windows 10 was my fav version because that was the straw that broke the camels…

3. Tether 7. USD Coin 10. Binance USD Crypto seems rather reliant on USD. The crypto narratives are always so flimsy.

You would think we barter and haggle for unproductive hours for the goods and services we need. 90% of what I buy at a store I walk in, grab what I need, go to self check out and s…

You always have to be on guard to not fall into single variable thinking. "They did it because of X, not Y!" It is always at least x, y and z. I would think this is a smart move to…

It was a change in sports betting. You really couldn't gamble on sports legally outside of the major casino sport books previously. Keep in mind that black market sports betting is…

Great point. Even to take it down a notch, what has happened in the US is just boring. You almost can't have a conversation without one of 5 of the same companies coming up.

I forgot you even have to install drivers. I have a USB network adapter with a penguin on it. That was the key that solved all my problems. Everything just worked after that. If yo…

Been back full time for 3 weeks by choice instead of being remote as people trickle in. I think when people start going back we will quickly see that most aspects of the office are…

Commodities have value in and of themselves though. Bitcoin is a security for an electronic trading game that takes inputs and gives back less than that input. Then on top of that …

The difference is you buy a stock/security with the expectation of some future cash flow. The value of the stock is an attempt at pricing the future cash flow at a discount rate. B…

No doubt. We are so spoiled we just take all our advances as a given. On top of all this so many people are doing more interesting work. My father didn't just work 7 days a week, s…

It is pretty meaningless. I have looked up before that the average person in 1914 worked 60-70 hours a week for a 2020 inflation adjusted wage of 5 dollars an hour. 60-70 hours a w…

I mean you could see the black plague as what loosened a 1000 year grip on society the Church had. At this point, liberalism could be in the same position with COVID. I don't even …

Are you just that historically ignorant of how this goes? 3000 people also die a year from asprin. Everything in life is a trade off.

Also using populism + race in a moral context to gain political power. We have seen this one before.

I am an American that loves to read the Global Times sometimes because it often has brilliant pieces. Media like we use to have before the internet. Chinese leaders might even unde…

It pains me we almost can't have a real discussion about this topic without it being hijacked almost immediately. I have thought deeply about this and I am not sure we can really h…

IMO there should be 3 voting options I agree, I disagree, Noise/bullshit The problem to me is I want to read things I don't agree with but I don't want to read bullshit. I would es…

In America, we have just made it too difficult to build new houses. We have short circuited the market equilibrium. The real way to make money here would be in building new houses.…

Piano is the best analogy to me. If you sit down at a piano for the first time, the idea of ever playing a Chopin prelude seems almost impossible. Of course it takes years of pract…
