Think hunger will snap the red hatted morons out of their delusional view that maga cares about them?
I doubt it. The Kool-Aid's too strong, too addictive. No matter what you may say to them, there is always a "what-about-ism" retort, which is alway…
The irony continues. After years of panic-inducing narratives from unhinged Democrats, inflation is finally under control. Yet these same Democrats once denied the highest inflation in four decades during the Biden years—and now they’re attempting t…
My reaction, precisely. Ditto.
Centuries ago, The Catholic Church instituted a whacko, extreme "reform" in order to be rid of what was all too common, back then: clergy and their families were treating the church and its properties as if it all wer…
Trump Denial Syndrome. Exhibit A.
What-about-ism. The perfect example.
Logical fallacy: "poinsoning the well." Or Ad Hominem. Impugn the source, with the intention of communicating that X can't ever be correct about anything, because X is X.
@sven. That’s exactly where our house is investing. We are not adding anything to US equity and working towards 50/50 or even more ex US than that. I keep going back to a two fund portfolio of Dodge and Global Stock Fund and Dodge and Cox Global B…
We can't bear the thought of moving again. When I was single and a professional student, it was much easier. If need be, the entire EU "is our oyster." (Or indeed, the UK.) Georgia and Albania will allow even tourists to remain for a whole year
@larryB, what i meant is to allocate our investment more toward foreign stocks and bond. They are closer to 50/50 US vs foreign. For a long time US stocks have done well, but time has changed with this administration.
While our family had the fo…
You gotta hand it to Trump on one thing... he'll screw anyone and everyone, even if they vote for him. He's an equal-opportunity bastard.
But, but, but... In all fairness: other bastards possess consciences and a sense of empathy.
This is what the Repugnant Party has become: in a word, anti-truth. Pretext, prevarication, misconstrual, mischaracterization, falsification, dissembling, lying. And don't forget self-serving. Orwell's "Ministry of Truth." And about half the country…
Orange bag of unspeakable arrogant corruption and destruction. Get him out of there. 25th. Impeach. Repugnant majority on The Hill are a pile of celery-flavored Jello. Spectators. Gawd, I'm hoping for a huge opposition win in '26, but he and they ar…
Thanks, @Sven. The next time we're at the Novato Costco I'll take a look at the chicken rotisserie.
...We seldom buy those. More often for my wife. We have neighbors who buy them instead of dog food for the dog. Cheaper. But those dead chickens are …
Question for @Crash- OK, what is this "pale" thing that we're "beyond"?
NO CHEATING- No fair looking that up. :)
Grin. I actually know the answer: a group of counties including Dublin and environs nearby, marked as under the control of the Briti…
SS wants you to set up an online account so they have a pretext not to send you anything via paper snailmail anymore. That's what this smells like to me. I know for a fact that was their policy, going back a number of years, even before the Orange C…

I just bought this item and started in. Lots of charts, graphs. Ugh. Not my cup of meat. And his style is appropriate to his explanations, so I can't complain. It's just very plodding and detail-focu…
