Nice spin, but it's mostly an illusion. Trump is an embarrassment abroad. The market, which could care less whether Merkel or Theresa May think Donald is a jerk, is a continuation of the recovery started in June, 2009. The impetus is multivariate. The most important factor, as always in bull...

Are you jumping to conclusions? Did you mean to say "...when there is zero evidence I'm aware of."?

The public doesn't know what his net worth is. He lies about everything, so why would he not lie about his net worth? If he has "billions" in net worth, then why have U.S. banks shunned him? Most likely he is heavily leveraged and totally dependent on foreign interests. We know that U.S...

I agree that a key element in bringing a successful obstruction charge would be other illegal activity involving Trump and his associates. Mueller's team of prosecutors should have no difficulty passing this hurdle. You'd have to be deaf dumb and blind to think Trump's antics are those of an...

As usual, you are the voice of reason among some rather ill informed colleagues.

George Soros -- Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland, January 25, 2018 The current moment in history Good evening. It has become something of an annual Davos tradition for me to give an overview of the current state of the world. I was planning half an hour for...

That was only half of his signature promise. What about the other half?

It is bizarre to witness how easily Trump is able to manipulate his core, even though it requires them to throw logic to the wind. He can lie to them with absolute impunity. One understands how it is that these techniques could have succeeded in Germany of the 1930s, but it is a mystery to me...

I think that was UsualName's point, no?

I sincerely hope you are right. But I think there have already been some.

I may well be wrong about this. I am no politician and almost always wrong when it comes to guessing the outcome of political races, e.g., I thought Trump wouldn't even get the nomination, let alone win the election. I thought Sanders had a chance. (In retrospect, that was supremely dumb of...

one small detail Clinton is not President; Trump is!

Superb example of " individuals ... who [have] formed hardened positions without ever having examined the complexities of difficult issues; without ever having recognized the nuances attendant different positions." Thank you so much, as I was not able to think of such a perfect example...

Don't read too much into my smiley face. I wanted to thank gwb-trading for brightening my day and making me laugh.. That's all.

Everyone is anti-illegal immigrant with respect to future illegal immigrants, except illegal immigrants perhaps. However not everyone equates letting DACA persons remain in the U.S., the only home they have ever really known, with being pro-illegal immigration. Some are able to see nuance...

:D

Two thoughts cross my mind here. 1) What do you mean by equality? equality of what?, and 2) I'm still waiting for a logical argument why equality should be highly correlated with poverty, as all I can think of are exceptions.

The object of automation should be to free us from the drudgery of mind numbing, physically disabling, repetitive tasks, so we can devote our time to pursuits uniquely suited to humans. We should be celebrating automation; not fearing it. A machine that can pluck, gut, clean, butcher, inspect...

May I suggest instead starting each day with 45 minutes of Yoga. Everyone will go through the day with renewed mental and physical energy, and feeling as though they have a spring in every joint.

I'd like to see a logical argument supporting this opinion. Actually, a logical argument supporting this opinion of yours would astound me.
