Comment Re:AM radio is nothing in terms of volts. (Score 1) 317

AM radios add maybe $1 to the cost of a vehicle, and they don't need a long antennae, contrary to what someone else said (well, I've never needed one). The real reason for this push, in my mind, has to be lefties trying to kill talk radio, which they've been salivating at for decades

This is conspiracy territory and not founded by any reality.

Gold has an artificially inflated price

As per usual everything you say is exactly backwards of the truth - the value in relation to the USD of gold should be much higher by historical measurements, but the price of gold has been controlled for decades.

What is happening now is the rest of the world knows the real value of gold and governments, banks and people in many other countries are hovering up gold as the current massively discounted price.

The really fun point comes when governments realize they will never be able to pay off debts and the gold revaluation occurs (as the U.S. already did once in history, but you would;dn't know about that).

Gold is insurance against government financial malfeasance, I leave it as an exercise to the reader to what degree they feel like the government they live under is fiscally sound.

Comment Re:who cares about debt? (Score 2) 264

In fact, the incurring of debt is not directly related to expenditure at all. It's a mathematical fantasy. The USG never defaults. Who is going to enforce that?

It's really simple, the rest of the world is going to enforce that by at some point no longer taking USD (or in reality simply taking a lot more) for payments for real things they have, like oil or lithium or food.

Buy gold.

Gold is what has persevered wealth through periods of debt based financial reset. like the one we are entering into...

You don't have to sell everything and put it all in gold. But consider putting at least 10% of your assets into something tangible...

Many replies will mock this, but 5000 years of gold preserving wealth is a pretty good track record.

Some will say that BTC can serve a similar role but I doubt it; it's been hijacked by the same banks that are bankrupting nations now.

Comment They already have that info (Score 0) 145

The law has one purpose and it is to gather a listing of adults accessing material which the state government can use to retaliate against

And you think they do not already have that info because... ?

They do not need a law to have that info.

You do' not think it's worth any attempt at all to keep adult material away from kids until older? You would like a six year old walk into a strip club? Because that's basically what you are saying you want to allow.

Kids are just not ready for some adult stuff until older. And that's the real fight here, some people think it should be OK to expose truly under-age kids to any degree of sexually related material.
