I mean, the issue is that positive yield bonds exist… like, why is the government just printing money?! The only correct risk-free interest rate is 0%. Wanna return? Invest and risk!

I mean the whole point of verification is that you "verify" who the person is. Someone else (with a blue tick!) being able to impersonate another verified account, goes obviously against this. It's literally the same people f

Maybe, but I'm speaking objectively. Jordan Peterson was cancelled because he claimed that Ellen/Eliot Page is a woman. This is just science/biology, which the far left deny and want to cancel. Meanwhile, you have UN Women

Clearly. Legacy car brands had electric cars (Toyota, BMW definitely). Boeing could have created landing rockets. Market wanted those products from anyone . Why didn't they? Because they're dinosaurs, asleep at the wheel. Bad cor

Do you even use Twitter? You can find a lot of very deep, long-form content. I'd recommend following Samo Burja or Doomberg for example.

Really? On which other platform can you directly communicate (or at least listen to, unfiltered) to the worlds dictators, political leaders, and billionaires?

Which is a large reason why people in Europe are so much poorer than US, and not getting any richer either over time (in contrast to the US). https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/xgoouz/americans_ha..

Stocks are amongst the most liquid assets, only topped by bonds. But many rich people are rich in private companies, apartments/houses, and boats, which are all much less liquid.

I would like to wish good luck to Saudi Arabia with their ambitious projects of Neom and The Line. You'll need it.

Yes. For organisms that aren't capable of sexual reproduction, it doesn't make sense to talk about sex.
677.
by tomp 4y ago
Not really, no. Sex, scientifically, is determined by the kind of gametes an organism produces in sexual maturity. Males produce small sex cells, females produce large sex cells. There is no overlap among mammals (i.e. human sex is “binary”

No, because I don't care about averages. I care about minimum, and maybe maximum. The worst case for representative democracy is literally Hitler. The second worst (you could argue that Hitler was a unique set of circumstances) is the

Yeah let's just say that any list that places Canada sixth on a list is very much suspect. Nothing says "human rights" like criminalising protests, confiscating money, and prohibiting unvaccinated people from leaving the coun

Did you read the comment I replied to? It mentioned nothing about decreasing hospitalisation or death (which is true and I agree with!). It mentioned “saving coworkers” which implies that the vaccine prevents infection or transmitted, which

You're 100% bought into the propaganda. Isn't it time to pause and reflect? Btw. "the science" hasn't changed. The vaccine never stopped the spread. There were no studies indicating that it did (medical trials were
