All you ignorant, juvenile libertarian, conservative, racist alt-righter fuckers can all go proper fuck yourselves. History is not on your side. Bitcoin is not your personal savior.
You fuckers may be the most vocal, but you are not the majority by any means. Your own neuroses, insecurities and failures drive you to attack or disagree with anyone who might have a shred of thought different from your own carefully constructed house-of-cards conspiracy-theory cult bullshit.
Charlie Munger is that you? Awww... poor little Chucky is off his meds and wandering the lawn naked again. Warren needs to help him come back inside. It'll be ok. |

You aren’t poor. At least, you aren’t dirt poor. You enjoy the freedoms afforded anyone who is affluent in a Western country. You are probably a white middle class male with a commensurate income.
A lot of us lefties look at the poor in America and think that the divide is too great. They fear that what happens in America will eventually happen to their country too. We also have our alt-right and our NeoNazis.
But here our poor have free high quality healthcare and there is a modest social safety net. No one dies in the gutter. We don’t want to live in a society where people are desperate, because people with nothing to lose are extremely dangerous and violent. We want a nice peaceful society where everyone has equal opportunity. Part of that is not fucking over your poor. If you fuck over your poor you end up with South Africa or Detroit. Yes you can have gated communities but I don’t want to live like that. I can walk down the worst street in my large city at 2am and not worry. I like that.
A big part of the reason is because we take care of our poor, more or less. Too many libertarians are like Marie Aintonette “let them eat cake”. We all know how that worked out.
There was a study done several years ago in America on the quality of life of the average family who was living below the poverty level. They had internet access, at least one large screen TV, cable or satellite for that TV, at least one car, a computer, a videogame console, air conditioning and heat, and smartphones. Shhh, quiet you. They need to believe the propaganda they read in the MSM word for word. https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2013/06/01/astonishing-numbers-americas-poor-still-live-better-than-most-of-the-rest-of-humanity/#2433319154ef"However, look at it a little more closely in relation to other countries. We're often told that to be poor in the US is much worse than being poor in the social democracies of Europe. And the bottom 10% in the US are indeed worse off than the bottom 10% in Sweden. But they're better off than the bottom 10% in Germany or France: places where we are told that there is indeed that social democracy.
Maybe there's something for this capitalism red in tooth and claw then: given that it does seem to improve the lives of the poor.
Take another look as well: we know that Russia is where bloated plutocrats loot everything from the country: and yet the bottom 10% in the US have, by this measure at least, better lives than the top 10% in Russia. And the top 10% in Portugal (where I live) and Mexico."
Maybe it's true that the US doesn't do enough for the poor in the US. That's rather a judgement call based upon your own morals. But it's very difficult to see in the actual figures that the US doesn't do enough. The poor in the US are richer than around 70% of all the people extant. The poor in the US are about as poor, perhaps a bit richer, than the poor in other rich countries. It is true that there is more inequality in the US: but this isn't because the poor are poorer. It's because the rich are richer."
The people that are really getting fkd over in the U.S. are the middle class, not the poor. |

Google and Amazon etc compete by giving employees not only salaries, but "free" cafeteria food, "free" dental etc.
Offset by setting up shop in the nation's most expensive cities, where housing is completely unaffordable, no free parking, high food/drink costs outside of work, highest city and state taxes, etc. And talk of adding a 'head tax'. So no, not really "free". They get their pound of flesh one way or another. Hey, live in San Fran, make north of $80K/year, and you can.... live in a van down by the river! https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/high-rents-force-silicon-valley-live-vehicles |

The Republican controlled Senate House Committee came to the conclusion that Russia interfered in the election.
Just so we are clear, you don’t believe the Republican Party when they say Russia interfered in the election?
The entire establishment is on the left, so no. Ok. Do you believe Trump when he says that Russia meddled in the election? Or is Trump part of the establishment / Deep State? I believe that Russia could have "meddled in the election". But here's the thing : specifics and facts matter. "Meddling" as in hacking/rigging voting machines would matter. Actually it would matter a lot, as it would be a serious breach of U.S. national security and sovereignty. It would be the thing to get really upset over. -vs.- "Meddling" as in creating a bunch of bogus Facebook accounts and marketing propaganda against the Dems does not matter. As not only does that shit happen around the world every single year (political smear campaigns are the norm), and apparently anyone with enough $$$ and clout can do that, but it would specifically be a Facebook problem. One that they don't seem very keen on making sure doesn't happen again. FACEBOOK problem. So please, quit bandying around "meddling in the election" as some kind of generic catch all smoking gun. It isn't. |

Just had to give xhomerx10 a merit for being first to say what most of us were thinking.
Like if some buy volume merely shows up to rek some shorts and then immediately disappears, then no, it's not the start of a bull run... |

The problem with the healthcare industry is that it just not sustainable to try and operate it at a profit or even at break even. It is rather difficult to make a profit or break even when your main customers are among the chronically ill and/or dying. Unfortunately, it can really only operate at a loss, in the long run. It must be a subsidized enterprise, either voluntarily through charity and/or mandated by some sort of taxes.
Abolish the welfare state and let people pay their own way. It will be cheaper on average. Centralized economies are not efficient and can't be. And, if you know someone who is actually a good person, and it actually isn't their fault that they are too poor to afford health care, help them out. It's pretty simple really. So much effort is put into over complicating the matter. Create this massive system of over regulation and blame the sky high price on the fact that money isn't being forcefully taken away from healthy people to subsidize the sick. All in the name of enriching the megalithic corporations that harry purports to be against.  Yep. In the past it used to be called "Medical Care" and it's purpose was intended for life threatening emergencies only. People were expected to take the majority responsibility for their own ongoing daily/yearly health. Now in only a few decades it's morphed into "Healthcare" and has been sold to the ignorant public as something absolutely needed for ongoing quality of life maintenance or improvement (i.e., constant checkups, procedures, and drugs. Lots and lots of expensive drugs.). Personal responsibility has been all but erased. |

And the EU is now a 'foe' of the United States. Astounding. I am sure most of my life I was taught the Americans were allies of Western Europe. Should I consider going for some weapons training? I mean, a hell of a lot of Americans seem to be visiting places near where I live. There's even a US military base not so far away.
For the record, Trump clarified that when he said 'foe' he meant 'competitor'. Which is a completely different connotation. Also to give context, Trump was expressing frustration that the U.S. continues to subsidize Germany and other NATO countries with footing nearly the entire bill for their defense, whilst these same countries continue to trade and buy LNP directly from Russia and not from the U.S. Wouldn't you too be frustrated with this unfair trade arrangement? |

Wtf does a grown man do with night vision goggles?
Chase 12 year old boys. On his SeaDoo. |

the triangle is almost pointing to a possible breakout at the ETF decissions day on 10th august, just 20 days off. considering the long timespan of this graph, they did a good job manipulating the market and choosing this date. *conspiracy*
That's the first deadline. Since when have they ever met that? It'll be extended up until someone is 'invited' to withdraw the application. If the SEC grants the CBOE a Bitcoin ETF but denies everyone else, then something smells in Denmark. If they deny everyone a Bitcoin ETF, then something still smells.  |

I sold all the way up, Bro. I was down to dust at the top. Bought some really cool night vision goggles on purse.io. I can't really use them on the SeaDoo I bought before that. Or the convertible. or the other convertible. or the motorcycle. or the house. How u doin?
Lol, guy bragging about how he liquidated all his bitcoin for a bunch of depreciating assets to stroke his own ego.... to Bitcoin holders who are in it for the long term gains and possibly early retirement. How about we won't be broke in 10 years. Like u, Bro? |
