That's true. I also have a theory that those that don't wear condoms or use protection don't wear masks. And that a large percentage of the more religious are less likely to wear masks. There are several buckets of people in

Well the top comment mentioned far-right so that's probably why the parent dropped that. Separately, I don't think it was a productive comment.

Putin's is unknown. An advisor said 70B in 2012 [1] Where do you see Xi having comparable substantial wealth? I see 500M to 1.5B. Where do you get small fraction? That's not true at all. I can't even see either of your exampl

I probably should have worded that better. The elite athletes and professional researchers - sure that happens. I guess I'm trying to say - if it's not your career - if you spent 7+ hours per week training for your physical body,

No my parents misunderstand. They are constantly worrying about money. Some people I think just see others working hard and it's framed on their experience of work. I grew up a latch key kid and they worked very hard to help me get a g

Snarky much? I specifically mentioned friends. Anyway, globally I know most are on average. "On average, global internet users spent 144 minutes on social media sites every day" The Philippines spends almost 4 hours a day. I obvio

I'd agree with you on that too. The article says 7 more hours a week is a workaholic though and based on my experience with friends and family - they too make no distinction on whether you enjoy it or not. Even if you tell them, they d

That makes more sense to me than the other way around. As a workaholic, and learnaholic, I did it as a path to financial freedom and to accelerate my learning at at time I knew I had the bandwidth and will. It made me a better entrepreneur

I think it's different for entrepreneur workaholics. Your startup is your baby. It's fun. It's challenging. It's rewarding. And when you're young I think it's great to dedicate to work. You accelerate your lear

I'm just saying that if a small subset of states (NY/CA/TX/FL,etc) essentially could pick the President as an example, you run the risk of alienating a lot of states, including some that are really important, but have sm

If your goal is a United States, then purely populous isn't ideal. Electoral college essentially requires cross-regional appeal in order to win. We also have to remember that there are some really key states to the US that don't h

The US was the most instrumental country in defeating the Axis. Doesn't matter when they joined. I'm not rewriting history. In fact, I suggested a correction to be more accurate/inclusive based on you clearly having an issue

If the US was not involved what do you think would have happened? Would you like to amend it so it says "Was the most instrumental country in the Allied victories against the Axis and Nazis?" My point remains. Also, the US has had

The left side is loose with the truth too. They suppress newsworthy stories or do no reporting on things that are against their agenda. Selective reporting is loose with the truth as well. So maybe one side fabricates more and one side with

Seriously. Will it do the equivalent of being ~20k then go to 3k. Then come back to 29k? Highly unlikely. As much as people want to predict a collapse, you can't store a ton of money safely outside of Treasuries.

Exactly. And barring an unlikely collapse, cash/dollar isn't going to fluctuate much at all in value. So... a feature. At this point, bitcoin is a competitor to gold as an asset store. Maybe it will be more like a currency at some
