I was thinking of using it for post collapse/appocalypse/revolution. siege and defend. Plus AK has fear factor, probably won't have to use it. Got my 38 special for close quarters. Now that you mention it, that might be too much, could go down to an auto 380.

Recently, in the US, AK prices were on the rise. Ammo was rediculously priced. Not due to economy, but politics. So, opinions....762 or 223? Been thinking of getting one.

I wrote my thesis on using VAT to replace personal income tax. I actually found a documented study in a U.S. tax journal. It has been brought up to them. VAT on business inputs is better for households.

I don't love the system in place. What you suggest as efficient sounds like move towards centrally planned communism. There the irrational people wouldn't be allowed to be inefficient. I am not willing to live like that and most people I know wouldn't do it either. Also, changing the...

The general question: Is low interest bad? Interest affects return on investment and the rate at which one can barrow. Low interest relative to what it recently has been is not bad when the economy is making a shift (cyclical or structural) to make gains from economies of scale that would no...

i believe to be the leading cause of price inflation--population growth.

1200 sf townhome in some parts of houston is only 50k. 3000sf in suburb of houston only 105k new (I will admit the labor used wasn't the highest quality and wasn't legal either) btw, its alwasy been that way, even before the collapse. while other fight over rat holes and sardine cans...

FCCT, THe government has a great impact on the interest rate. They use monetary and fiscal tools to affect it though the Fed and congress. They can also use influxes of funds to free up capital. Yah, they don't say "this is the new rate", but they do control much of it. I have wondered...

rebuttle. 1.that investors would not want to invest when the returns/interest is low...but what else can they do, lose ground to the average market while they hold cash. They must be invested somewhere. In real terms the market rate of interest is not important unless it does not match the...

even if it is medical it can be outsourced. Go to retirement facilities. 90%+ foreign worker cna's. Have you been to a medi clinic? No American doctors there either. As a policy I don't think US has much of a limit on the higher educated foreign personell that can get visas, these...

Regarding R&D. Hows do the export controls that all us companies are subject affect exporting R&D/Technology when outsourcing?

outsourcing is better for many companies, especially ones that do not depend on a domestic market for revenue. comparative/absolute advantage is the most efficient way to operate, it just changes over time. If you work in an industry/field that has reduced its advantage over time then you...

Before the economy recovers it should go up as expectation rise. If at recovery the economy looks like it could go badly then the market would likely be down at that point. Anyone else?

If interest rates are low, take 30 year treasuries for a nearly riskless example of a long lived asset , investors who need to maintain earnings must seek more risky long term ventures to get the desired nominal returns. These investments could be in private, small business or anything else as...

Just because people spend to mine gold doesn't derive its worth. Sort of like the assets in the financials. Just because you spent 1million on a mine or well, or whatever investment does not mean you have an asset worth that much or that you can get anywhere close to that in the market for...

Just make it obvious that the next generation will have to pay by forcing the descendants of defaulters to pay the debt. We don't need morality, we need consequence. Most people's success is based on the success of your ancestors, this would just make it more visible. More fair for families...

Also, Gold is very common. I can find it in every pawn store in the world.

I like the arguement that its a timeless measure of what a man can accomplish, but... So Supply...and scarcity, but we don't pan for gold. There are mining companies who control supply, thus they control the price if demand is fixed. Gold sits in mines, just like oil, until the price (and...

i used mine to go to jamaica for a week with my fiance. Still have over half for emergencies and house fixing.

So, is the regulatory solution a system to verify that you are not actually insuring yourself (which is a zero sum). Like if you need car insurance, but you actually own the company, or would owe the company had you filed a claim for your coverage. As long as one separate entity is...
