It is time to get real. The post office and similar departments are job creation schemes for middle class people who have near ZERO opportunity cost vs. the private sector. Here in Chicago I see "diverse" individuals driving Mercedes, BMW, lexus, etc pulling out of the post office...

The vast majority of upper-mid level to lower level employees in the government sector are radically overpaid relative to the private sector. People in government do not seem to grasp that private sector employment is dying and real wages have been falling for a long time. The construction...

Chartman, thank you for your insight.

I will make sure to check it out thank you for bringing this to my attention.

This is a partially formed idea so it is very open to criticism. In my usual style it is a bit of a rant: We have been told time and time again that the people of the world need, "economic development" in order to "rise out of poverty". I have never been to china, however my two best...

I am not 100% negative on wall street so that last post of mine was too bleak. There are some great firms and great people. Unfortunately there was a hostile (in the late 70's or 80's I think) takeover at some point. There are still firms that focus on real economic value and...

Stick with me for a moment: I have often wondered if the professional sports business offers any type of utility to society greater than entertainment value. (easy for me to do as I do not watch sports other than tennis). My conclusion is that pro-sports redirects people's inherent...

The entire notion of ADHD is in my opinion fraudulent. A few random points. (to lazy to form a coherent, systematic essay) -The notion that individual children should be bent with drugs to the statist/industrial education complex is immoral and anti-american. -In my opinion the...

I do not respect a trading oriented brokerage that charges obscene margin rates. IB does it right. TDAmeritrade is however a good firm with a good service relative to reasonable expectations. I have used IB for 5 years and have been pleased with the commission rates, service, and...

a central bank acts in the interests of the state itself as well as the cronies/financial cartel. A free people require a non government money, ie a commodity based money supply.

so according to u guys his district should be the only one in america that pays federal taxes and gets nothing back? He does mean what he says, LOOK AT HIS VOTING RECORD. That does not mean he is going to play Martyr and allow his constituents to be robbed with not a dime back in return.

Like most industries but perhaps more than most, the insurance industry benefits massively from government loopholes and special privileges. It even benefits mightily from the estate tax, as paying the estate tax is a major reason small businessmen (huge buyers of insurance products) buy...

The market is telling you something. Why do you not listen? You could frame your observation out in a more productive way, such as: "I have noticed that once price drops 2% below recent swing lows, there seems to be a definite edge to the upside." Now if you can define "2% lows" you...

Mr. Rearden, probabilities on this conspiracy having some merit: 1.) Mossad had foreknowledge of the attacks and a strategic decision was made to allow it to happen. 2.) Mossad actively aided and abetted this crime as part of a deliberate provocation strategy.

Yes.

Amazing. Right after making that last post I had a premonition that Mr. Rodney would be showing up as the next post with his classic "just google it" referral. Well, I was half right. Mr. Rodney was the next poster yet this time he chose to do the Googling behind the scenes. Or perhaps he...

What is the name of her fund/CTA program??? I have in the past viewed her chat transcripts (not live though) and the problem in my opinion is that it is over focused on, "what the customer wants" which is very short term scalping. Just by its nature I think it is very hard to "call out"...

Wishing the United States to return to to constitutionally limited government including a non-interventionist America-first foreign policy is certainly not a desire for Anarchy. Exposing the corruption and the back-room, self-interested dealings of the current elite is not a desire for...

...My thoughts exactly. It is 100% clear to me that even if this situation was not initiated as a false flag operation, it is being and WILL BE used to do just as Rearden has suggested. The internet truth seekers have let too many Jeanies out of the bottle and exposed to many...

Most people who are hired for defense work privately are no better than public defenders. The only difference is they typically have less experience and are less likely to be ideologically motivated, which many public defenders are. Now if you are talking the top 3% of the population...
