    Living Too Close to SpaceX

    People generally like things the way they are. It's human nature to resist change. Good characteristic, IMO. Essential to survival of the species. Outsiders come in and change things to the ways they want them to be. Different from the ways things were. So unhappiness is going to result...

    Watching China Melt Down

    Thanks, I'll check them out. I had been following serpentza, laowhy86 and ADVChina, but they left China just before the pandemic stuck, and their recent videos have been spotty and more along the lines of opinion as opposed to news.

    Watching China Melt Down

    Where you getting this? China's pretty good at keeping stuff hidden they don't want the world to know. Their internet is all behind their "great firewall". Nothing gets in they don't allow in and nothing gets out they don't allow out. If stuff like this is fact, and it's getting out, you can...

    Watching China Melt Down

    I dunno, is that fact or just misinformation to scare the rest of the world into another lockdown?

    Watching China Melt Down

    If China would reveal what therapeutics are keeping Xi alive and healthy Pfizer could be making trillions instead of just billions.

    Just let Ma Nature deal with it. Seems the first sensible thing they've done.

    So they're investigating Trump again... .

    No, that means he is (or his accounting team and lawyers are) exceedingly savvy at offsetting capital gains with capital losses so as to pay no net tax. A feature of U.S. tax law available to any and every U.S. taxpayer that has taxable investments, and every capital entity (ie corporations)...

    Watching China Melt Down

    Yes. Have you noticed how many young people - and especially young men - are, well, just plain FAT?!? Sorry if I've offended. But only a little. To be inoffensive, I suppose I should say "obesity-challenged."

    Systems Break Down...

    I had an HVAC tech come out this last spring to give my AC its annual checkout. He told me it was fine, and that, BTW, he'd found a dead mouse and a mouse nest in the control box. OK. Fine. Later in the season, when I really needed it, the AC wouldn't start up despite getting a "run" signal...

    Systems Break Down...

    I feel your pain. It seems everything I own is getting worn out and is about to break down. And that applies to self as well. Can't replace self, but the other stuff ... well, it can be replaced.

    Watching China Melt Down

    Good deal. They should have done so years ago. The immediate problem is that so many crucial necessities originate in China. I'm hearing today on the news about shortages of medicines. Specifically Tamiflu (into what's forecast to be a severe flu season) and Amoxicilin (used to treat...

    Market Set For A Dive?

    Well, "dabbling" is a sure-fire presciption for getting fleeced. A well-executed plan with sound fundamentals and persistent discipline over a long period of time works. As you've witnessed done by those who had no compunctions about method. Capitalism is what works for the honest and ethical...

    Watching China Melt Down

    Seeing what's going on in China makes it clear that Covid is just an excuse, not the real reason. I hope Xi gets his ass kicked out, but I doubt that whoever replaces him will be much better.

    Twitter Now Elon has Twitter... .

    Sheesh, I hope Elon has no ambition of running for President. He's just too damn honest and straight.

    I hope that you aren't waiting for the new I-Phone... .

    Foxconn gyped my state, Wisconsin, by reneging on a deal to invest $10 B worth of new physical plant and resulting new jobs in exchange for significant subsidized tax breaks.

    Auditing the Ukraine Billions.

    My prediction is that it will be a dog and pony show resulting in no conclusions and nothing being done.
