We'll probably never get rid of endemic diseases. Does that mean the Gates Foundation are fools throwing away their money to try to help get rid of some endemic diseases? We'll probably never end world hunger, does that mean we shouldn't try to help the hungry? We'll probably never have world...

As I asked in another thread, I'd be interested in your thoughts on what those friendlier realms would be?

I'd be interested in hearing what countries you think are candidates for picking up the ball? Most of the established EU trading countries and the UK already have some form of FTT. I know @d08 suggested the new EU countries, but after Hungary and to a lesser extend Poland have gone off the rails...

Stating your unsupported opinion is the opposite of a "debate in depth", just as an FYI. As is a sophomoric ad hominem rant about "typical blind hatred TDS lefty". This isn't a safe space at the Breitbart comments section, throwing out attempts insults doesn't accomplish anything but diminishing...

To be accurate, businesses that rented space in properties Kushner owned received loans. He had no ownership interest or control of those companies. To be honest, that whole thing is a Vanity Fair hit piece that is an embarrassment to the left. Its pretty unreasonable to demand that companies...

Those are some compelling arguments there....oh, wait a minute you just gave us your opinions based on absolutely nothing. You may be in the lead now for the most information free post in this thread, congratulations!

Just can't fix stupid can you. How's that satanic cult of pedophile cannibals you're working on busting open coming? And "the Kraken", whatever happened to that? It's hard to believe you people can cross the street without getting hit by a bus, seriously.

Why is it "funny" then? It's as "funny" as SPY going up the same amount at the S&P 500 or an ITM put option going up in value by $5 when the underlying drops by $5 or losing money selling VIX call options even though it always reverts to the mean. They're all simply doing exactly what they're...

Exactly. So what's the answer to my question to @Trader Curt? What would Biden do as President that would drive the rest of the world's currencies up? Unlike @Trader Curt I do have at least a basic macro background. My best guess is that the pandemic has equally impacted most of the world, so...

It might be illuminating to ask that question in another way. What are all the macro factors that would cause the EUR, CAD, RMB... all go up versus the dollar? I'm guessing you think Europe is a socialist hellhole, China is going to walk all over the U.S., and even those Canadians are pretty...

Well I've won the lottery twice then, lucky me! Given that we have hundreds of thousands of successful businesses and a few dozen large lottery winners, it's not really an apt comparison. Not to mention the fact that although luck does play a part in businesses success, you have far more...

Again, you've decided, based on no evidence, that not only 50% of Twitters users but 50% of the revenue generation on Twitter not only dissaproves of Trump being held to the TOS but will respond by leaving Twitter. I keep pointing this out and you keep ignoring it because it doesn't fit your...

Its interesting when you hear a bunch of developers complain about how they can't get a job because of all the Indians and the founders of the places they're interviewing at couldn't get a job at their own company and interviewees are just cannon fodder.... The answer is quite simple, start...

In the past you actually had to offer better than the bid/ask for treasuries at IB in order to get a fill. There was something I vaguely remember about a setting to show you adjusted vs actual spreads, you might want to do a search here for more info.

Thank goodness we don't live in such a binary, black and white world where one either works a job or sits around waiting to die! One can get a whole lot of fulfillment raising kids, creating art, learning new skills or new fields, serving those who need help...all things that would both bring me...

It's kind of the same thing with the PPP funds. I didn't take them because we didn't need them. When the list of those who did take them came out I was pretty appalled at the people I know who did take them who I know full well didn't need them at all. And this whole bullshit crying about how...

Who would you prefer be chosen to lead the financial regulation arm of the government? Someone with no experience in finance or finance regulation? This whole "if someone has experience in a field they are per se compromised and crooked" is a recipe for nothing more than ensuring we have people...

One of the few things IB does well is this. You can hold a number of different currencies and convert between them at minimal cost compared to most banks.

Unfortunately you're way too subtle for the intellect of the folks you're aiming this at. I have no doubt it flew well over their heads while they argue about the evils of minimum wage people stealing our hard earned tax dollars and SOCIALISM! over on the thread you're parodying.

But if they keep repeating it often enough then surely it will eventually be true, right? Seems to be a thing with the Trump folks.
