Finished the Count of Monte Cristo before the holidays. Thank you for the rec good people. Loved it. Read the first book in The Wastelanders omnibus by K.C. Merbeth. It's fine. I wouldn't call it great, but it kept me entertained. Set in a future wasteland world is a desert apocalypse. Young girl on...

Right now Southern Cali is a bloodbath. Because you have Mexicans living ten to an apartment. We have the same problem here with other groups that live in close quarters. Perhaps build a wall? I was surprised to see that our per housing density, or whatever the statistic is, is even higher than New...

Interesting. Of course, you have to dig in and see what exactly they mean when they say MRNPIs versus what they mean when they say NPI. One of the control countries they use is South Korea, which while it did not do what they call more restrictive NPIs does have a very strong and strict contact tra...

You do know, Nafod, that Donald Trump is the person who ordered the Organized Militia to "occupy" the US Capital. Did he? I watched the press conference last night where the FEMA Head, acting as the head of the DHS, gave a briefing to leadership. It was Pence and SS and FBI, etc., talking...

Media does not work to unite. The government did not work to unite. When everything is this destabilized, who could be surprised that there are a group of people willing to believe our election was rigged and fraud? Look that the past four years. It has been an epic storm. And from their point of v...

Since you guys are both being equally thick, I will address you in the same post. Perhaps in crayon? Forget about the election per se, that's not the point. The point is the rioters. Why are there so many people out there, on both the left and right, that are feeling disoriented and anxious and rea...

I'm kind of despaired about where all of this is going. A huge number of people genuinely believe that Trump won in a landslide and it was stolen, in the face of a shit-ton of evidence otherwise. That is their reality. There can be no resolution while the two groups hold true two completely differe...

But you are absolutely correct that there is a red wave as well. Many people on the left side do not see how deeply disturbing the riots in the summer were. They don't get that while they were watching people peacefully march for social justice, a lot of people were watching neighborhoods burned an...

To be honest there have been plenty, many of them pretty technical. The most comprehensive is Perry Kaufmann's Trading Systems and Methods. The least technical book is The Reminiscences of the Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre. Which is the professional biography of Jesse Livermore, one of the legend...

If people can't see that and understand the bullshit he sold them, that's on them and not the majority of Americans who saw through his shit. But they're snowflakes who feel that they, the minority, should get to rule anyway. No. I don't have to respect your delusion. I look forward to Trump going ...

Luke, let's say there more people giving investment advice than successful investors. One of the reasons I refrain from doing that. I reckon the bulk of the investment should be something low risk. Property in Australia is a good one, especially in Sydney. Index funds is another one, at least if yo...

Thanks for the responses! I'm with newguy and Sango in terms of what the fuck do you do when it's going gang-busters? Thanks heaps, Spells, for outlining it like that. I'm definitely not good enough to predict either. It's really, really hard for me not to get into the cynical - borderline conspira...

I do not believe at all the any of congress expected or wanted the red wave running amuck through their halls. I am fairly sure they are all shook and pissed. They didn't sign up for that. Even the ones on the MAGA train. That's their offices. That's where they go to work. The only reason they are n...

You have to look at the difference between investing and speculating, growing wealth for the long term vs short term, and how much time you want to study this. Do not gamble/invest with more money than you can afford to lose. Robinhood is a great little app and you can get fractional shares. You wil...

Nice Alfred. that being said, FC's point that real americans were getting assaulted and multigenerational businesses were being destroyed by Black Bloc rioting and the left sneered "You have insurance" is very legit. No doubt. The inability of the Left to admit to its own problems is what...

They were hunting down Pence. From the news, "I heard at least 3 different rioters at the Capitol say that they hoped to find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor." While Trump joyfully watched on TV from the Whitehouse. After Penc...

The Left and Big Tech are going to push an effort to silence dangerous right wingers now. When people push huge lies it's tempting to just shut them up, I know. But I have 2 predictions: 1. The silencing will be massively heavy handed and over-reaching. 2. The left will see no way this could possib...

Usually you are more precise and pointed. I'm generally in awe of your arguments and ability to cut what I'm saying down. I feel this one was a bit sloppy compared to your lofty standards. My point holds. You showed a picture of protests at the white house. Show me any BLM protestor that made it in...

Those of you have have been to D.C. will know what I am talking about. What happened during the ballot box uprising.....it is not supposed to be able to happen. It is mind blowing fucking shocking. D.C.....the Capitol part....is supposed to be one of the safest places in the world against any form o...

с Новым Годом

Happy New Year.

If google translate isn't fucking with me.

Feliz Navidad amigos!

To all those that are still here and with us and to all those who have moved on and no longer grace this place....either from death or found better things to do.
