Global population collapse imminent.
Yeah Tesla is really polluting all the water and increasing CO2 emissions…
The UK, Australia, and Brazil have significantly less firearms (which makes gun control a million times easier), and are not constitutionally granted the right to bear them (which makes gun control unconstitutional). If…
That is obviously true... but also a fairy tale hypothetical, and we are in the real world. So the question is, what's the solution, right now? Not 200 years ago.
Maybe there should be less de jure law then...
Yes, this sounds amazing. Enforce all the laws and rescind the bad ones! There are tons!
This is not an issue with bad policing, but bad policy.
I would prefer less people die, actually.
I completely agree. My point was that they should always be prepared for the worst.
Yes, firearms themselves present a clear and present danger by themselves. I'm sure once you make laws to control them, the firearms learn to stop being dangerous.
I would bet a large number of the shorts are people holding restricted stock, synthetically selling their position before their lockup period ends.
Yes, that is how short-selling works, but you're claiming that the only reason the headline isn't "SPCX is the most purchased new stock" is for narrative reasons, which is patently false. Shorting necessitates that…
I would argue the current price action isn't even driven by any company decisions. The stock needs to settle for a while after IPO.
You're conflating two things though. Shares are being borrowed to sell in this instance, referred to as short-selling. These shares can theoretically be borrowed multiple times over to sell (ex. Gamestop fiasco). This…
IMO, it's an argument against diversification. The Nikkei's decade-long stagnation is proof that the indices that are widely considered "diverse" are not immune to stagnation. This is from a trader/investor's…
Okay, I do agree with this. IQ probably correlates with effort a little, but my anecdotal experience is that the most successful people in my school were primarily smart as opposed to being hard workers. Of course,…
This is far from proven fact. There are studies that show this effect, and there are studies that disagree. I can certainly see the argument for it being true in extremely Low-SES evnironments, but I don't believe this…
Oh yes, Trump famously lets people tell him what to do. It's always the "Zionists"
Experience is probably (at least should be) the differentiating factor.
It will probably increase total global oil production, which is good for the US consumer (what Trump seems to care about more), but not US producers.
I would probably have a stronger gripe with the ridiculousness of the tariffs than Tim Cook's refusal to bribe the president. Also, to say that not bribing would make him an "honest businessman" is slightly unfair. He…
We would need a larger sample size than just myself, but the raccoon was in the very first spot I looked. Found it literally immediately, as if that's where my eyes naturally gravitated to first. Hopefully that's just…
This is laughably false. The leadership in Tehran is smart, and they know that nukes are the most assured path to the regime's self-preservation. (see: North Korea). They've been trying to build nukes since the 80s.
> Also seems that having a very capable military that lets you project power around the world also invites that power to be used. I assure you that is a much better problem than the alternative.
I'm not arguing the necessity of him having to shoot, but there is absolutely enough reasonable fear for it to be legally justified.
