It's buying an abandoned storage locker with potentially leaking chemical waste that has could have been poisoning the ground water and killing people the next town over for decades.

Why would UBS take on potentially unlimited amount of liability? That doesn't make sense at all.

I was talking to a psychologist/counselor that works with one of the counties in the Bay Area. He said that top 10 most frequent people he sees costs the county well over $1 million per year, and the top person costs over $10 million.

What happened to the findings of the gelatinous blood vessels and blood cells that they found within a tyranosaurus rex bone? It was something that scientists said would have been impossible, but they found it about 10 years ago. Unfortunat

I've noticed this in the last 4-5 years or so. It's really bad, but I just put up with it. I just recently bought a Pixel 7 to see how that compares and just might switch over.

> It seems like the terminal world is slowly getting abandoned in favor of proprietary GUI apps This sounds like something written from the 1990s. In fact these days, proprietary GUI apps are being abandoned for web apps or mobile apps.

As far as I'm concerned the countries impacted by those fishing cities should quietly torpedo them. It's a crime against humanity and if China can't support their own population with food they create themselves, they should c

I actually like Impossible Burger. It doesn't take like a burger exactly, but it tastes good. And if you screw up an Impossible burger, it doesn't taste nearly as bad as a screwed up beef burger, which gets as dry as leather.

I mean is there any mystery here? It's China. China doesn't care about anything except for themselves. Hundreds of Chinese fishing boats set up just outside of international waters in South America and fished everything in the are

I've had 3 shots of Moderna and got my first infection of COVID 3 weeks later. I've had COVID 2 more times after that, the most recent being about a month ago. The first two times were sore throat with congestion. The last time wa

I was exactly the same as you. Strong proponent of UBI and now I think there must be better solutions out there.

I have a feeling most highway trash is coming from the garbage trucks themselves, or open trucks. I've NEVER seen anyone litter from a car, ever, in decades in California. However, I have seen a lot of garbage fly away from garbage tru

No. As rates rise, when you sell your lower yielding stocks you are selling low and buying high, iteratively. Rising rate environments like we are in right now are a disaster for any bond etf that doesn't have short duration. You need

NEVER hold levered ETFs for more than a day or so. They decay horribly and in markets where there's a lot of volatility, they decay very quickly. You will lose a lot of money buying and holding any type of levered ETF. Their real use c

NEVER EVER buy bond funds or bond ETFs. In an increasing interest rate environment like this, you will suffer terrible losses when the fund buys and sells positions. If you want, buy bonds outright, like US treasuries or commercial paper of

I've been short since November, and my portfolio is up about 100% YTD. I think the market is going to drop even further, 2008-2009 style, so I'm gearing up for that.

Afghanistan is different from Iran. Even today, Iranians are highly educated and they have historically been highly educated. Most of Afghanistan that the US was trying to mobilized was uneducated and living in tiny villages with no real st

The jab about the media is absolutely warranted. How many women are found dismembered in the US almost every day? There was just a case last week in NYC. The media doesn't pick it up, but with Khashhoggi they did, because they care the

A woman in Iran would not be allowed to own a gun only because of the fascist regime in place today. Back pre-Ayatollah, Iran wasn't as misogynistic as it is today. It was one of the most forward Muslim nations in the world. I imagine

This is patently false. Iran has been called part of the Axis of Evil since Reagan era. Iran has been reported on as evil for decades. This current set of protests have gotten a lot of media attention. The reason why Khashoggi gets so much

I'm not a pro-NRA gun nut, and I hate to say it, but this shows you the dangers of when only the government has the guns. I'm pretty sure that if guns were available to regular people, there would have been a transition to a diffe

My kid and his friends are all eschewing 1.19.X and sticking with the 1.18.2 release specifically because of this issue. And they know this because they all watch the Youtube videos that are saying the same thing, that this "feature&qu

I'm very much a proponent of Universal Healthcare. I think whatever we currently have for health care is a mix of the worst of both worlds.
