That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
So, he runs for President from jail, gets elected, pardons himself, leaves his cell, and moves back into the Whitehouse where he adds to his collection of classified documents.
He puts a hit on his enemies list, pardons all his violent fans, select…
Seeing the activity in Russia against big oil and their families, I think anyone in business or finance thinking they want to risk dictatorship, hoping to stay on the right side of life, better think again. I think battling the average working stiff…
@hank I'm 73 and probably have more than enough to live rather fine for the remainder of my life. But the psychology of saving most of one's life is still there. I'm only down about 2% but, where I come from, that is a lotta money in dollars even if…
Well, off the top of the skull, as machine learning takes over there is a chance that all portfolios converge to a few over bought models based on broad descriptions of personal preference for risk, geology, politics, geopolitical, technical, social…
@hank - What is it you don't understand about women deserving the worst of everything insecure white male legislators can conjure???? No Benefits to You B'ch - Suffer!
Thanks, msf. Good info and reassuring. I went to his account and collected documents for the year and 2021 year end. I also got the status for the day before his death, the day of his death and July 5 (the first market day after his death). The IRS …
Thanks everyone for your condolences. The good and the bad news is that these type occurrences don't happen often enough for one to become proficient at handling all the bureaucracy that results. Again, thanks.
The sad thing is that this group is poised to remove the rights of other citizens the Catholic church hates. A shrinking minority of Americans will be left whole. (Example - unmarried professed straight Catholic priests aren't touched but gain as in…
More school age children for target practice.
It struck me that my life might have been during the period of time that women had the most respect, even if that level of respect was still inadequate. It also struck me that, despite separation of rel…
"As of December 31, 2020, TSP has approximately 6.2 million participants (of which approximately 3.8 million are actively participating through payroll deductions), and more than $735.2 billion in assets under management; it is the largest defined c…
In any case, I really don't understand why this post was moved from the "Off-Topic" section to the Financial section. It was a bit weird even there- it seems totally out of place over here.
In matters controversial, consider the source.
@Old_Joe, Yep but sure is fun in the formative era when it just might be the one. (I was adjunct to U.Utah Chemistry in the Pons cold fusion era. Years later I was assigned to a gov lab where they were still trying to see that elusive response and m…
@hank, I didn't find anything currently going on at MIT. I guess my memory was bad. However, this review discusses some of the developments in the solar paint area. The old research I was thinking about resembled the effort going on at the U. of Tor…
@hank, A few years back a MIT group was doing research along that lines. I didn't keep up with it to see where it went. I'll see if I can find out and, if I can, I'll get back to you.
Why worry? By then the Musk guy will have conquered space supply chain transport and discovered new deposits of raw materials in the Orion belt. Tesla will sport super solar panels able to charge through the thickest cloud cover, when hidden under 2…
So, will the simple inclusion of bitcoin in retirement accounts serve as the legitimizer of bitcoin itself? Will Fidelity finally be the one to explain the external factors that determine the bitcoin's price and volatility? Is bitcoin contrarian? He…
That table reminds me of a bowling alley. Maybe it's for that point in time when heads will roll.
Roll down the table to take out the one bowling pin left sitting at the other end?
As a schoolgirl, policies against assignation of leaders made more sense to me than they do today. Why should civilians, men, women and children that just want to make it through the day and remain relatively secure, and young soldiers, who want to …
Has global warming brought on some sort of widespread genetic pattern just waiting for the proper environmental triggers or is the species labelled "human" just not viable?
So, what is the title of the post reporting that everyone with personal business with the US government is now subject to bankruptcy as soon as the Putin pundits get finished with the data stolen from ID.me, a universal data base of most US citizens…
Karl Rove comes to mind. It is important when making a President that you make sure they have little experience and reputation to recommend them for the job. It is also important that when the voters go home, you and your cronies (e.g. PNAC during B…
As an ex-DOD employee, I have always wondered how many Americans depend on war or potential of war to survive. I tend to conclude/wonder - almost all Americans. This is because of the amount of the economy derived from war dollars. In today's world …
