Enlightening.
People outside the US still believe in the American dream.
They think immigrating to the US is a ticket out of poverty.
It used to be but bringing one's family here and only being able to get a job (if you're lucky) at or just above the minimum wage range will keep you living in poverty and amongst drug infested communities. If you come here to hop on to government services then shame on you cause we're the most broke country in the history of the world and it can't last forever.

Nope - I was talking about engineers, who are paid much higher in the US than in developing countries. Coming to the US to hop on to government services is impossible unless you come illegally. Smiley

No mention of Palestine in the top 100!
I am surprised Islam and Israel are so low down in the order.

Article 68 of the Constitution, however, stipulates: “The use of firearms and toxic substances to control peaceful demonstrations is prohibited.”

I guess if there is a riot-like situation, you would want the army to deal with it effectively.
405  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 85 Richest People In The World Have As Much Wealth As The 3.5 Billion Poorest on: January 31, 2015, 06:06:15 AM
satoshi - 1 million btc
Karpeles- 850,000 btc 
pirate  -  700,000 btc
ulbricht - 650,000 btc
winklevoss -210,000btc

btc is not exactly fair either in comparison when you count some of the wealth the major players have or had control off  in some cases
and these are just the ones we know about ,there could be whales out there with as much or more that just keep their info
off the radar

This is just one asset class.
If Bill Gates decides to convert a portion of his wealth into bitcoins, he would be up there as well.
You just have to look at distribution of wealth, not distribution of an asset class.

The police already went after the kids running lemon-aid stands. I guess the lemon-aid stands they were busting were not collecting enough revenue.

P.S. this is not at all a misrepresentation of what occurred. Police are armed and unaccountable revenue collection agents, not peace officers.

Just when I thought that things couldn't get worse, you convinced me that they actually are worse.  Tongue

409  Other / Politics & Society / Re: US Teachers State Pensions Near $500 Billion in Unfunded Liabilities on: January 30, 2015, 01:05:01 AM
Unfunded liabilities... This is bad.

The only way out is to convert these pension plans to defined contribution plans. Make sure that states are forced to pay out contributions regularly and not depend on future generations to foot the bill.
Otherwise, you will have crises like this cropping up.

Cops going after kids shovelling snow is ridiculous.

But do you know what is more ridiculous?
This....
Many towns demand a license with paperwork and fees of $50+ to be paid to shovel snow.

Of course it does. I'm posting this from an internet cafe in Atlantis, 9000 miles under the sea.

I wonder what planet/asteroid your sending your post from? You know the earth has only 7918 Miles in diameter Smiley


Good catch. Especially since the deepest trench (Marina Trench) is only 11 km deep.  Grin

Seems to be part of a larger worldwide gold run
Interest rate changes in Switzerland and Canada out of the Blue
Germans taking their gold seems like they are preparing the trenches for an economic hit.

and the Saudi king died today too. really weird huh?

True enough I will miss the Saudi King
(He was one of the few monarchs in the world with an American approved harem)
Little facts like that make you smile
(King Abdullah had about 30 wives, and fathered about 35 children)

His father, Ibn Saud, had 45 documented sons.
The princes in that family would outnumber a small village.  Tongue

for me the best solution is to annihilate, invade and then sell Russia.

edit: and you want to know the cherry on the cake? 80%+ of the Russians support him... which means what on war? (They are one and the same, like a family, the Russian family. I hope that those that don't support him will have left, physically, soon&fast).

War on Russia will possibly bankrupt America.
Even if you do manage it, who will buy an annihilated Russia?

I bought some just below $190. cant see going MUCH lower than that in the short term.

Seems to be a smart move.
You have made yourself a nice profit, if you lock it in now.
419  Economy / Speculation / Re: 3600 bitcoins dumped everyday = bearish brainwash propoganda on: January 24, 2015, 12:40:18 AM
-industrial mining needs pay bills. In a bearmarket they will look to get rid of the coins ASAP ... ask them

- every coin mined will be sold sooner or later

-a coin mined today may not dump on the market today but next year. While today coins mined months ago may dump. So in average it should be 3600 coins a day so your thread is actually pointless bullpropaganda

Cloud mining sites just distribute the excess bitcoins. So apart from what is required to cover costs, nothing is sold immediately. Of course, individuals might decided to dispose off bitcoins that they receive.

Still waiting for the panic buy.

Target, perhaps after a retrace to around 250/260: the horizontal support zone of 125/129. We'll see if that holds.

The panic buy doesn't seem to be happening.
People seem convinced that even if there is a bull run, it will be a slow move upwards
