Hard to get excited for this with WTI Crude at $110 and nothing to stop oil prices and inflation besides demand destruction from a recession. A .5 hike is already off the table for the March Fed meeting. To me it feels like we are racing to

Totally agree. There are also these ridiculous dynamics to the system that a new incompetent manager can burn a department to the ground and then get another promotion for rebuilding the department to 25% of what it was before they burned i

Time. Crypto is a speculative digital commodity bubble. We haven't seen a real bear market yet. Gold took 7 years from 1973 when you could own gold again to the 1980 peak. All the increase in gold mining lead to a 20 year bear market.

I don't understand how anyone thinks this can work when the one opposition leader has been poisoned and put in jail.

We also should be considering that there will be this giant country with a giant military after Putin is gone. We seem to have no concept right now that there is a level of suffering and alienation we can impose on the average Russian that

This is exactly the logic of 1st strike lunacy that we avoided in the 60s by not listening to some military brass that wanted nuclear war. You summed it up perfectly. If we had listened to these idiots in the 60s none of us would be here.

IMO we want to believe that the second best military on the planet is not competent because it is more comforting than the idea that the second best military actually planned out this assault on a sovereign country.

The DMV is an outdated example. I remember decades ago standing in line literally for 3 hours to finally get to talk to the person at the desk only to be told I had the wrong form. Then back to the end of the line. I honestly can't thi

Personally, I don't understand this point of view. Most despotic leaders are not well liked by the people. There are so few examples of the people rising up to depose a despot. I actually can't even think of one that would apply i

It makes me wonder if there is a Russian information campaign to try to get public opinion in the West for NATO to enter, knowing that the US is not going to enter and then fracture NATO or cause division within NATO. All the sudden all the

IMO you have to consider there is an information war going on so to me the only rational thing to do is take everything you think you know with a grain of salt. There probably is a tactical advantage from the Russian side to putting out the

Some people are really talking insanity. These insane people I think need to watch the Tsar bomba go off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwlNPhn64TA We aren't talking about fatman and little boy. Talking about thousan

No, freedom of the press means freedom of the press. It is really quite simple.

This is basically an argument against education in general. No one learns anything useful. "Education" is just a set of credentials that prove your IQ test wasn't a fluke. To me, that is just an absurd view of reality.

It is really strange to me that we can't figure this out. I almost think it is because our entire view of education is conflated with a type of sporting event. You were one of the grand champions of this sporting event even though obvi

I think this is exactly what is going to happen. The world order from 2 weeks ago is gone forever. The Russian stock market still hasn't even opened this week. They are basically going to have to start over economically. They are not g
