How does this differ from Amazon stock or any part of your 401K?

How does this differ from your house, if you own a part of it?

Your opinion of what money is isn't back in fact or theory.

That's a nice little book that explains what money is, how money works, and how governments have destroyed the value of money.

Aww, anonymous coward gonna coward.

It is exactly the same thing.

Facebook is a de facto research organization.

They have been approved by hundreds of governments to involve themselves with medical and public health research.

This is 100% acceptable under HIPAA.

You signed the waiver, don't scream at me about it.

You absolutely CAN sign a HIPAA waiver of authorization to release your data to "researchers" tho.

Facebook is a medical researcher.

You probably signed away any rights when you checked in.

The Jefferson doctrine: "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations—entangling alliances with none."

If Russia or Ukraine or anyone wants to throw their weight around, let them fucking do it. Sell to everyone, but let them all bury themselves.

Boom/bust cycles aren't caused by deregulation.

Boom/Bust cycles are caused by central banks.

We have not had honest deregulation in my lifetime. We have a method of central banking and central state management called "deregulation" where the powers that be create new laws, loopholes and restrictions for old businesses and hand control over to their buddies running new businesses, and they label it "degulation".

I've always profited from the boom-bust cycle for 30 years because it's so obvious, and because the economists I studied in my teen years (The Austrian School) have written about it for almost 100 years. It's so easy to watch these cycles happen based SOLELY on central bank policy.

The LHC uses about 750 GWh per year, right?

The average home in Europe is probably around 10.5MWh?

So this monstrosity is sucking down 71,000 homes worth of energy?

It doesn't matter what you like, it matters how easy it is to condition your brain to return to it.

Analytics show these shorts have massive retention for when folks have moments of boredom.

Little pings of dopamine are the long path to wealth for producers.

When government does something, infrastructure rots.

I own a few small homes, some as small as trailer park size, 100% of them are on private streets. None of my streets have potholes. NONE.

The neighboring streets are city streets. 100%. All of them have massive potholes.

The whole point of government is to tax the stupid so the rich can make off with it.

"Deregulation" has never happened in America. Ever. When you voters support it, it really means "take 10,000 pages of regulation, and add 2000 pages more on top of it, and call it deregulation."

When I say shred pages of law, I mean SHRED THEM. Just evacuate them completely. Yes, it can be done.

It's never the lack of regulations that makes markets suffer, it's the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pages of law that force only powerful folks with powerful lobbyists to enter a market.

The most corrupt can circlejerk away with taxpayer dollars, blocking the millions of small start-ups from ever competing.

We never could afford public boondoggles masking as "science".

I wonder how many new genders and sexualities the LHC will discover next week.
