I don't think Biden campaigned for unlimited QE and unlimited bailouts In any event even if this was true an ambitious organization such as the government can't be satisfied with 52% confidence in its financial planning

All fair. But there is no free lunch. The burden of the proof always lies with the person or the entity trying to sell something. The government failed to sell QE and bailouts to the population, the government further failed to sell inflati

No , it's because of the thrill. Street racing has an element of thrill and danger in the race itself, whereas pot only trill would be breaking the law given that it is impossible to OD and there is little to no harm. The low toxicity

To be honest most of the fascination with pot is the fact that it's illegal and you are not supposed to smoke it. Governments around the world should think long and hard before legalizing it because as soon as they do, people will move
