Is $150 a lot in the grand scheme of hobbies? That'll buy you: - a set of used golf clubs - a couple years of fishing licenses, bait, tackle, used fishing rods and line - a couple really entry level tennis rackets, balls, and court res

Why is it astounding? They have one of the biggest e-commerce applications in the world. A mobile app for shoppers. A payment system and mobile wallet app. A shipment tracking system. Tax and small business software. They have their own len

No it's absolutely not time to let go. You are one of a limited set of people with pre-AI taste and intuition for good software. They aren't making any more of them. And you'll be a super valuable asset anywhere you go. I mea

No one is everything independent. And all are capable of losing their main supply of various important commodities. Sure the US is having trouble with that. But the easy fix to that was to not start unnecessary wars

But Cheney never profited from any of that increased work. He donated every single investment profit from Halliburton stock (since he was paid in it and held it as VP) to charity. That's like 1000x less corrupt than even one of the 3 s

That's crazy lol, how do you watch the President pump and dump Trumpcoin and then come back for pt. 2 with Melaniacoin and think corruption is down?
