    Will COVID-19 cause a Market Crash?

    We were likely already nearing a global rescission, global manufacturing had entered a contraction (end of 2019) which indicates weak demand and slowing economy. 5 countries were already running at or near 0% interest rates. The Fed and other central banks were pumping hundreds of billions into...

    why are billionaires hated?

    Hate is not how I would describe how I feel about most billionaires. Misguided would perhaps be a more appropriate term. They have more wealth than they could reasonably use in their lifetime yet many are still driven to make more which is a real shame. With the type of resources they have...

    "Billinaires shouldn't exist." Do you agree with Bernie?

    I thought this video gave a good perspective on the 1% and it is only getting worse. If things continue to go the way they have for decades are you all really ok with 1% of the population owning 99%? Im not, nothing anyone has done has warranted that type of wealth.

    Will covid-19 affect the election - primary and general?

    The Fed, along with many central banks around the world, have been going to great lengths since the 2009 crisis to keep things afloat with diminishing affect. The global economy is not nearly as rosy as the markets would suggest and many indicators were showing further weakness in an already...

    Repeal The Second Amendment

    Better repeal the 4th while your at it. That is the only way that repealing the 2nd could ever truly be effective.

    What do you HATE that most seem to love/enjoy.

    Humans We are such a destructive, wasteful, self absorbed species. The earth and its life would be much better off with out us around. We are so bad I believe it likely we will directly or indirectly be the demise of nearly all other species and eventually be the cause of our own extinction.

    Is there a difference between deleting money and paying taxes?

    Operationally I see little difference since tax payments are simple accounting calculations. As we know people do not tend to send brief cases of cash to the IRS. As long as the government knew the amount being "deleted" to satisfy tax dues nothing would essentially change. They would simply...

    FCC Releases Net Neutrality Killing Order, Hopes You're Too Busy Cooking Turkey To Read It

    If they remove net neutrality regulations I 100% truly believe that the internet in 20 years will be nothing like we have today and we will be left wondering how we could have failed so miserably at protecting what is perhaps the greatest technological achievement of our lifetimes. People who...

    **** it. Split the country, we're done.

    I'd support this but I feel the knees would leave far to much influence at the federal level. Can we negotiate the chopping point? I'll start negotiations at the scalp. I feel the constant power creep of the Federal government is an unfortunate side effect due to the nature of people. People...

    Majority Of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    Anyone who believes that white people cannot experience discrimination have their heads stuck in the sand. I have experienced it a number of times in my life. Now that I live in a predominantly white area I never experience it but when I lived in areas that had a large population of minorities...

    Would gun control actually work?

    I believe we would have homegrown manufacturing of firearms for the black market if a ban or super tight restrictions were implemented. 2013 - A multi shot capable fully printed plastic composite gun for under $50 2016 - A fully functional, multi shot, printed, metal gun...

    Arizona GOP Sen. Flake to retire, had tangled with Trump

    Cowards, both of them. Because they do not like the way things are being done in the Trump administration they would rather quit than stay and continue to fight for what they believe to be the correct course. I say good riddance! They are not what we need in Washington.

    Would gun control actually work?

    I believe the opposite to be true. I think it highly more likely that a percentage of people across the country would resist gun confiscation and would either outright standoff with the government or organize resistance groups. In either case I see gun deaths and injuries escalating...

    Is soda causing a health epidemic?

    I recently read that in England 1880's that your average blue collar laborer burned about 6500 calories per day and they received most (80%ish) of their calories from bread so I am not convinced that it is all consumption side. How many Americans do you suppose burn that many calories today? We...

    Weinstein Co. terminates Harvey Weinstein following sexual harassment allegations

    I never support a termination on allegations regardless of how heinous the alleged crime. Employers should wait until a crime has actually be proven.
