It takes a pretty stunning level of arrogance to think that you have a monopoly on what it means to protect the sovereignty of the U.S. Especially given the demonstrated lack of understanding of fundamental concepts like asylum and refugee request, lack of basic logic about how asylum requestors...

You own a company that does nothing but hold cash, and currently holds $100, so with 100 shares each they are worth $1 per share. You have $100 worth of stock, right? You do an offering of 100 shares at the current price of $1.00 per share. As I'm sure you understand, an offering means that if...

Actually I don't need to do a google search, I have first hand experience with this from a previous professional life when I actually did migrant interdiction ops. There actually is no limit on the number of asylum seekers who will be accepted under the Refugee Act of 1980 (U.S. law). There is a...

Because we signed on to a bunch of international treaties, principly the 1951 Refugee Convention, and USA should stand for keeping your word when you sign a treaty, at least until you pull out of said treaty or renegotiate it, don't you think? But let's redirect you from the squirrel you...

Your a smart guy I know, so at this point I think you get it but don't want to get it. For sure the vast majority of people who claim asylum are not eligible for it, and once we've evaluated that they are not should be deported. That is completely irrelevant to the fact that we have to screen...

So I have to agree with @piezoe that you're avoiding the question, but I think it might be a common and reasonable misunderstanding on your part that much of the country shares on how immigration law and asylum works. International law says that anyone who claims "credible fear" can request...

If you were around back when Amazon was a crazy stupid company losing money quarter after quarter with insane valuations you remember clearly folks saying exactly this about them. Through the .com crash. I'll cop to being one of those folks. It's now $855B dollars in market cap. Same with...

I wish these guys luck but they seem to have missed one crucial concept, the idea that almost no trades are "matched" directly between two traders especially at the retail level. They not only don't appear to understand the role of market makers, they're actively hating on them. Take a look at...

For fucks sake, you posted a snopes that debunked the idea that some morons apparently have that somehow muslim men are getting more welfare with 4 wives....to support the idea that some morons apparently have that muslim men are getting more welfare with 4 wives! You can't even make this level...

I think you and I are just points on a continuum. Individuals trend more or less toward heart and intuition just as a matter of inborn personality if nothing else, neither direction is right or wrong and we're all probably better off for the diversity of ways of looking at the world.

My beliefs in fact require that I acknowledge that those beliefs are potentially incomplete or even entirely incorrect. Pretty much every religion ever requires that you believe that religion is correct and infallible without question. That is why I left religion. Sounds like you too?

The anti-intellectual response when you don't have anything intelligent to say yourself, attack the length of the argument you've got no response to. Speaking of which, do I know you? Have we ever had a conversation or are you just jumping straight into the ad hominem attacks? Maybe you used to...

You never said how you voted? I didn't vote, just in the interest of equal disclosure.

Newsflash, Once Great, Britain's empire fell some time ago!

Hey, I'm not against that! Seriously though, the Presidential term is fixed in the constitution. Like I said, U.S. democracy isn't perfect and that part is one part I think could be better, but it is definitely "written somewhere" that Presidential Elections are held every 4 years and everyone...

I got locked into IB by writing a bunch of code for the TWS API and then stuck with them far longer than I should have and otherwise would have because of it. Using FIX makes that a lot less likely to happen, although keep in mind that you most probably will still have to do some work on your...

For sure SCTY had a lot of shades of Enron with respect to the crazy proliferation of entities and questionable accounting. The car business isn't my line of business so I can't speak to what's going on now with that, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

While this assertion is relatively bogus it most probably is entirely technically correct, even taking sales tax into account. What makes it not credible to any of us who have lived in any of the metro areas of CA is that a $58,000 income household is way below the poverty line and we'd expect...

Maybe vertical calls. Naked calls would have killed me with SCTY when they were acquired by TSLA.

So again, what is the magic in implementing the first referendum before doing a second? What makes that inherently "democratic" (of the type of "democracy you have there", which yes, is different than the kind of democracy we have here in the U.S. which also isn't perfect) while voting for it...
