A genuinely curious question to taxpayers who think they are funding the country: With 33T debts and deficit spending being the norm, why should I pay taxes? How much of what we pay as taxes actually go to fund "the…

OK so what happens if the chip shortage lasts longer (due to war and commodity prices)and with plummeting sales and corporate earning (which will reduce tax receipts as well) the economy will enter recession? So then…
I am baffled at the Fed messaging. A year ago Powell's keynote said the inflation is a supply side problem due to "transitory" issues. How does raising interest rates with "demand destruction" help supply side inflation…
The sad truth about a lot of Canadian universities is this - they are entirely funded by foreign money (through international students). There is a specific university in Montreal named Concordia University which was so…
This is part of the problem that the parent comment is referring to - putting all conservatives under the same umbrella. Tea party is different from most Trump voting working class. Conservatism in recent era has taken…
> You can argue either side to this, and make a good case. Here is an argument. Fed is a thief. First it recklessly bailed out all the toxic banks and derivatives in 2008, then kept the interest rates low for too long…
I think Fed lost any credibility it had left after Greenspan. Now it's just a steep slide down. I mean, rates should have been raised in 2011. Remember when Powell tried this whole saga he is trying to do now back in…
I had smallpox growing up in a third world country, how protective would the immunity be going against that?

Its actually much more endemic than this. To start off, Canada's service sector dominating economy means jobs are concentrated in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal etc. So most people want to move and live those…
President Biden may not, but Fed certainly is. Remember with the eurodollar system, Fed's role at this point is pretty much a liquidity provider for anyone and everyone which they did with unconditional access to swap…
The ruling liberal party is out of touch here like many other things. Key problem here is that the inventory is super low, part of it is due to everyone wants to settle in places like Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver due to…
The Fed has been consistently wrong over last decade in many of their policy, and their credibility is on the line. The reason home prices are not on line with fundamentals is - well there is just too much liquidity.…

What would be some good stocks to invest to capitalize this? Perhaps some trading in Russian/Ukrainian Stock Exchange? Is there any significant US company listed in Nasdaq or NYSE in this space?

Yeah and helping us defeat who he shan't be named in the 2020 election.
Yeah but it is the domestic extremist terrorism that is the real threat to its citizen. Got it.
How do you even test for EBV? The GP I asked laughed it off when I was living in Canada basically saying I am already positive and no need to test.
