  1. She did so poorly in a mediocre law school, that the only job she could get was as a public defender, and she went nowhere until she started banging Willie Brown. You think she great, whatever.
  2. Did gold not used to be negatively correlated to equities? Now both are at all-time highs and growing. Again, I think a lot of analysis is out the window.
  3. This is a great point. A lot of funds that are started by a great manager are on autopilot once the manager leaves it to build a new fund. I always check that the current manager has not been swapped recently.
  4. If you've got the dough, just let Dr. Mason at Bumrungrad do your shoulder and be done with it. He did mine 10-15 years ago and it has been perfect. It thought I has an issue with the second one a year or two later ready to spend the money, he looked at it and told me to quit sleeping on it.
  5. Well, they'll be making 7% on everything you order now.
  6. I read the some of her fellow teachers were walking out on a few of "Dr." Jill's campaign events...
  7. They really can't do anything without the support of a majority of congress.
  8. Do you think it's okay for a news outlet to lie if they're not successfully sued for it? In any event, most if not all have been successfully sued for lying.
  9. Okay, that's one. But to be clear, I did not say all antisemites loved Biden. That all ya got?
  10. Is there a news outlet of any kind that has not been exposed for lying?
  11. It's even worse in the US. In the US, when I earn money, it is taxed. If I save that money, it is taxed again. If I spend the money I have saved, it is taxed again.
  12. Correct. The actual cost generally is: Cost + Freight + Tax 1 + Tax 2 = Landed Cost (Cost + Freight) X Duty = Tax 1 (Cost + Freight + Tax 1) X VAT = Tax 2
  13. What're you a right-winger? You make an argument that VAT should be eliminated altogether (which I would support, because it is hideously regressive), but in this case it's just the same 7% you'd have to pay if you bought the item domestically, and you are still avoiding the import duty. It's "social engineering". The gub-ment wants you to buy domestically produced products, which helps the county and disproportionally the poor. When you import otherwise taxable products, you not only avoid paying the tax, but you also negatively impact the importer.
  14. I have a blue arrow, does that mean I'm communist?
  15. "Waste not, want not."
  16. So, every time you pay, it will round up, and every time you collect it will round down. No thanks.
  17. So, it is possible for an EV to be involved in an accident and not have a fire.
