Welcome to the club @wartrace. The best thing about the type of person who calls others snowflakes is how fast they melt and block anyone who points out the massive gaps in their logic!

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to convey, but I'll be satisfied that you've at least considered the concept that we're all Americans and there's no good in hoping for bad things for people just because we don't agree with them politically. Thanks for listening.

A normal, non sociopathic person doesn't "imagine future torment" for more than half of America with anything but profound sadness. I certainly don't "imagine your future torment" or of those like you if the candidate you support loses the election, to the contrary I hope for a world where I'm...

That's a very good question. If you calculated the compound returns on all of us here over our adult lifetimes you would find that the majority of us managed higher returns than Trump did on the money he was given by daddy. So while proposing the use of wealth as a proxy for IQ does nothing if...

I think there's a couple reasons why that "pox on both sides" false equivalency concept is very sad as well. Foremost is the fact that when the media reports Trump saying "I grab 'em by the pussy" or any of the other literally thousands of other appalling things he's actually said.....that's not...

He's a special combination of a net native who has never known a time without an internet and someone who has never traveled to even a place where the internet wasn't temporarily available let alone a desperately poor third world country. Ah, the absolute certainty of being a smart but sheltered...

Its interesting that all you seem to stand for is making another group of people unhappy. Says a lot about you. I hope Trump loses in 2020, but I certainly don't hope for you to be angry or hurt by it. There are a lot of depressing things Trump has unearthed in my fellow Americans, but one of...

So for once @nooby_mcnoob was right:D

You've got way bigger issues than 1099s like FBAR and depending on your assets the other FACTFA filings like the 8938. Plan on hiring someone to do this for you, and then ask yourself if it's worth your while in the first place.

You have a good day as well, good luck in life.:)

Funny enough your tenant has been true for most of history (holding cash is a dumb thing to do) but now there are a few negative interest rate spots (due in part to central bank stupidity) where holding actual cash might be a better idea than "investing" it at least in a bank account.

There are journeymen who's entire life ambition is to earn money. And then there are people who want to actually live life to the fullest. The former are happy with trade level education, no matter if it's an actual trade like a plumber or a software developer who knows about nothing but...

Then we'll all be more than happy to take all that worthless "fiat" off your hands! Anything you can't barter to someone else immediately for something you want is "worthless" Fortunately we realized that barter economies are severely limiting, so we assigned an arbitrary value to an arbitrary...

You're right, for some reason I thought they'd sold those all off but I see they still have a good bit of it (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MBS10Y).

What "dodgy debt" does the Fed have on it's balance sheet at the moment, exactly? As far as I know they only have U.S. Treasury debt?

Most importantly it's important to realize it isn't a "crisis" in the trading timeframe. People screamed through the entire 8 years of the Obama presidency that massive inflation was imminent because of the rising debt (and those same people fell hypocritically silent as it ballooned even more...

This is the key point. State tax liability isn't cut and dry, it's the sum of all the things that show that you may be a resident of the state in question. So you've never lived in NY, don't own a house or any property there, and have never been liable for NY taxes and you go "on vacation" for a...

So, what you meant to say was that if everyone in Liberia, a desperately poor African country with a GDP per capita of $456 a year had a satellite internet connection (if you'd actually read the article you'd have realized that the target was a cell phone company!) then Well yeah, it does turn...

This is standard practice. Bottom line is that by definition the market is closed when those shares are delivered so they can't be sold immediately, and even if they could there's no assurance they all could be sold at the closing price. Which means you're getting $37M worth of shares more than...

You understand this was Liberia right? And you do know that's a country in Africa not an internet provider? And yes, they did take down the entire internet in Liberia with a DDOS attack, turns out it isn't that hard. That is literally what this thread is about. No tin hat conspiracy theories...
