You zeroed in on the core element of bullshitting: trivializing complexity into sound bites, simplest examples.

When agents interrogate people in their custody, yes, miranda rights are read to the detained. What about non-custodial interviews? People are asked to come for interviews without being detained. In such cases, one is not read miranda right

That’s another reason to have a lawyer present to take notes, so that federal agents don’t get away with their legally protected lying on their reports.

We are not even talking about large cities. Cities like Pleasanton, Santa Clara, even Tracy have problems. We went to a restaurant in Santa Clara, just across Kaiser; a couple of guys came in, broke into four/five cars and stole laptop

You can't even go to rest rooms, without leaving laptop bags in cars. That's what California has become these days. Not just San Francisco, every city in California is like that.

Imagine one leaves bunch of jewelry and antiques. Does a family member need a will/trust to sell them? Obviously not. You buy a lot of stuff on craigslist, Facebook marketplace, offerup, without having any proof whatsoever. Does this l

It is always about reducing the number of steps, and the cost associated with such processes, in order to pass down to beneficiaries both movable (chattel) and immovable (real) assets. Dissolution of a trust is tricky, unless you've be

To avoid the probate crap, add beneficiaries to your IRA/bank accounts/stock brokers accounts. Trusts that don't own any properties are useless. Just transfer real estate and land to trusts asap. Even though it is true that t

Terrorism cases help prosecutors' careers. Prosecutors and agents collude 24x7. This collusion is legally sanctioned.

Commodities, homes, lands, water, minerals, etc (let’s call them real assets) can not inflated as freely as possible, the way money can be expanded/inflated. That’s the large source of speculation. This is why people borrow in order to

The closer you are to the money, the more you make. Here, the leadership (esp those who report to CEO, and the underlings of these EVPs) get paid more even in the bad times: remember, retention bonus. The farther you are to the money, the l

federal funds rate should be more than the calculated inflation rate. So, both interest rates and the calculated inflation should be 'manipulated' at the same time. So far, we know the federal reserve sets/manipulates the int

Add this to the cashless world, which govts everywhere are trying hard to push. Total surveillance state. Stasi would love to have such tools.

Just increase interest rates and keep them around 6 percent forever. I'd bet many of these Wall Street funds stop buying SFHs. Federal reserve wants to keep the interest rates around 2 percent, because anything higher than that means t

Inflation skyrockets, because essential goods, services, housing, etc are NOT uniformly distributed. One can't print 50 million homes, even though a govt can distribute £x per month to all of its citizens. This is one of the reasons wh

I don't need to be ashamed of suggesting that. These professors should be ashamed of themselves for not taking this issue with their administration. If they can't stand for these issues, how can they teach future generations?
