Gold investors (like myself) assume that The Fed can only stimulate further in order to stave off deflation...but (crucially) with no hope of raising rates later, even in the face of the inevitable resulting inflation. A rise in rates wou

Some very weird choices. No internal ducting for AC? Crazy, its a LOT cheaper to include that when building. Now in some heat-death future you end up with ACs hanging out the windows. Wood heating? Wow, thats incredibly polluting. Indeed, t

If the rioters were protesting racism or homophobia, no one in the media (or HN) would challenge them. Since the rioters are protesting a Green Tax, the media (and HN) concludes that Facebook, Russia, or a general lack of cognitive ability

A little trollish, but now that Democrats have a veto-proof majority (meaning Gavin Newsom is really just a spokesperson, his opinion is irrelevant, he cannot veto legislation), Californians only have one party to ask why the State is the w

Furthermore, in companies that offer actual paid vacation, you are typically obligated to use some each year, which means when you book your time off, it is almost unheard of for a manager to claim you are actually needed in the office due
