I understand that. However, I would expect that if perception matters then it would play a role in all situations. My problem is that you want to carve out exceptions as to when the optics matter... they matter for the GOP but not the Dems?!?! That doesn't make sense to me. Maybe to you it's...

So now you're insulting me too? My trading is going very well and I have plenty of money, lol. I thought more highly of you. Still, I can appreciate the ribbing. Nonetheless, it should be easy to read my content and learn that principles still have a place in society. What else can I say?

o_O:confused: Like I said, good luck to each of you nutjobs.

IDK why I bother. You can both believe whatever you want. @poopy has me on block but replies to my posts anyway... apparently an idiot savant who knows more about derivatives than how to hold a mature, intelligent conversation. And, you @El OchoCinco , seem to be cherry picking every other...

Uhhh... I guess you didn't read my entire post *cough* court packing *cough*. Members of the state will generally not want a smaller state. You must know what a conflict of interest is, right? And, now you're saying perceptions don't matter? Have you misplaced your schizophrenia mediation...

Better off reading the whole paper and then making your own judgement. At first blush I'd say that if you have a large portfolio +100mm and some extra time to kill it's probably worth investigating seriously. Otherwise, you've got bigger fish to fry.

I won't quibble on this because it seems to ruffle feathers. It's a matter of degree however and I think it would be foolish to characterize him as some kind of "orthodox" politician. I never advocated for corporate welfare. I don't believe that social welfare (at any level) is a problem that...

:confused: I have news for you... you're already connecting w/ many of these people on this very thread. If you want to hire any of them, PM them an offer and wait for them to counter. Lacking that you'll just get replies that tell you you're out of your league; probably for good reason.

Perfectly fair. And the "major" problem IMHO is w/ the party lines. The candidates are figureheads; Kamala more so, Trump less so. The Dems are trying to drive further toward the left/socialism and waffling on positions opportunistically. OTOH the GOP has largely been beating the same drum...

Very much this. Iterate, iterate, iterate. Run it "through a profiler" and get rid of hotspots as they creep up. As they say "premature optimization is the root of all evil". My own system uses no less than six different languages... the lisp stuff is mostly for my own "high touch" subsystems...

Wait, I didn't read this part... maybe you will need luck.

Your situation is a bit paradoxical. All those types I know already have deep pockets, cushy lives and often big egos. After all, this idea isn't perfectly unique and the "heavy lifting" is mostly implementation detail; aka SMOP. In other words, what can you offer someone who already has it...

You are wrong. But, I can understand why you're skeptical. IDK what the future holds... just have my own suspicions. I won't hold you to this ;)

Hi, I'm Kamala Harris and this is my VP something something Walz. I'll say whatever I need to say in order to get elected. Nice to meet you!

Well, no one's perfect. I'm not saying Trump is. I'm trying to be objective and deal w/ a rock vs a hard place. Lol, I'm not a pollster nor am I going to drop a pin for you. Just some people from PA I talk to once in a while. You're right, there are deep blue/red areas though. This is a huge...

Frederick, I hate to break the news to you... but you post so much crap that I don't take you seriously. You know the story of the boy who cried wolf, right? I'll pay attention to you when you get a little more disciplined. For now you could say the sky is blue and I'd gloss right over it. I...

As I see things... DJT was, and is, an anti-establishment candidate who appropriated the GOP. Lacking the support of establishment figures doesn't exactly hurt him. AFAIK the Dems tend to embrace a "groupthink" mentality, while the GOP believes in "rugged individualism". So, for the reasons I...

Believe it or not, I agree with you. Their process is, by definition, a "setup"... for better or worse, that's exactly what a process is... a "setup" of some kind. She's better than Biden but that's not saying much. The Dems were in a bind. As much as they wanted to they couldn't pass over her...

Maybe. Or maybe you can't draw intelligent and wise conclusions. It's a double edged sword :-) Good luck w/ the big government, cradle to grave mandates... let me know how life in the gulag turns out :thumbsup:

Freddie is in the red... he only gets credit after he starts paying back what he owes.
