Not to mention that you miss out on one of the bigger wealth building opportunities, the IPO. While not true for every company, tech IPOs have been gangbusters as of late. I would have loved to invest in AirBnb at their last evaluation befo

China owns about $1.1 Trillion in US debt compared to the $28 Trillion in total debt. Most debt, ~85%, remains owned by Americans. Also, China has been trying to unwind their US position over time, but it is a difficult task because they ha

This is frankly an ignorant comment. Many of the best Special Olympic athletes would absolutely thrash your average in shape adult. Many of the men in their respective disability category for the 100m dash are sub 11-second, putting them in

How is it tyranny? Under the most liberal definition tyranny is: "cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control." It certainly is not cruel for any definition of cruel I am familiar with. It certainly isn't arbitr

I'm curious if you even understand what the Dept. of Ed does. Is it the money, because that is mostly due to Pell and other grant distributions. Is it Title IX and other enforcements? Is it enforcement of the ADA within the education s

I don't understand your argument, if asset prices are what they were pre-covid, then doesn't that represent a stabilization of the economy, not some sign of significant growth in the future. Also, the stock market is not the econo

If the dollars are borrowed or printed in exchange for collateral, no value has been destroyed, just dollars have been issued to account for that value. Not all newly printed dollars are the same, and this idea that M1/M2 volume is imp

I don't think this is correct based on some of the maritime law I read. My understanding is that the Panama canal is the only place in the world to where the Pilot assumes charge of the ship. Everywhere else, the Captain remains the au
