    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Just to be pedantic for you, none of the posters here who claim there are vast numbers of people who live their whole lives on welfare actually know of any real people who live their whole lives on welfare. They've picked up this idea from preconceptions that probably go back to how they were...

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Arnie, let me review what you posted earlier "We have families around here that have known nothing but welfare. 4 generations over a span of 40-45 years is not uncommon. " You very clearly indicated that you knew of these mythical 4 generation welfare families who lived in your area, when in...

    Who Will Head the Department of Energy?

    Except there's a steel glut at the moment as well (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-16/steel-is-the-poster-child-for-oversupplied-commodity-markets-and-it-s-in-shambles). Maybe you all (not you specifically vanzandt) should have thought through a few of these ridiculous ideas...

    Who Will Head the Department of Energy?

    WTF does the value of the Ruble have to do with the fact that we have a global oil oversupply and pumping more oil into an oversupplied situation is the opposite of bullish for oil supply companies? Is the U.S. President going to somehow manipulate the value of the Ruble, which is closely tied...

    Who Will Head the Department of Energy?

    So first of all, the U.S. does already produce almost as much oil and gas as it uses. Second, the world oil market is, at least today, a free market and the ultimate commodity. There is no way for a President to force an oil and gas company to drill, they only do so if the price of oil and gas...

    Who Will Head the Department of Energy?

    I guess I'm just dumb, I fail to see how pumping more oil and gas into an oversupplied market somehow makes that market more profitable? The oil service companies are suffering because no-one is drilling. No one is drilling because there's already more oil and gas than is needed. Adding more oil...

    Who Will Head the Department of Energy?

    Why would a President who makes it easier to drill for oil cause a boom in a market that is currently depressed because of an oversupply?

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    So this will be the third time you've avoided answering the question, which pretty much answers the question for us. Do you personally know an individual or individuals who continue to receive welfare after the 5 year limit? Or are you just assuming the people you see must be "on welfare"?

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Misrepresenting that "We have families around here that have known nothing but welfare. 4 generations over a span of 40-45 years is not uncommon", when as I demonstrated that's just not possible, is certainly not "love"! It clearly doesn't go on, you just have chosen to think it does because...

    Stupid wash sale question

    Options with different expirations are not identical or even close to identical, so that shouldn't trigger a wash. If you bought and sold then bought the same option, same strike, same expiration it would. There's some debate on if it applies if you buy same expiration, different strike, the...

    Looking for broker to short pennies; anything better than Suretrader?

    It's kind of inherent that you're going to find few places to short OTCBB stocks and the ones you find are going to be expensive. The vast majority of short availability comes from the fact that most margin accounts have fine print you sign that allows your broker to lend any stock that you have...

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Yep, I apologize. I was talking DallasCowboysFan, tlatoani, and Arnie. For some reason I had you confused with DallasCowboysFan, my bad.

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Generally "slumlords" aren't seen as altruistic paragons of virtue, maybe you're the one benevolent slumlord? Point is you don't know actually real "generational welfare takers" unless you are counting the Section 8 payments that line your pockets as "welfare"?

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Are we talking about "means tested assistance programs" here or welfare payments. You and the others seem to be talking about worthless lazy people who get paid cash money by the government to sit around doing nothing, which is what is usually called "welfare". That program in the U.S. is called...

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    There is a 60 month limit on TANF in the United States! Do you personally know individuals who are violating this law, and if so, why haven't you reported it? (http://www.cbpp.org/research/policy-basics-an-introduction-to-tanf)

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    Again, how did they get around the 60 month limit on TANF? Do you know a specific person who has violated this law? If so, have you reported it?

    Can the tiny house movement end homelessness?

    How is it possible to spend more than 60 months on welfare, that's been the lifetime limit since TANF was passed back in the Clinton years? Do you actually know of specific cases of this happening, if so I'd be curious to hear the situation and why no legal action was taken?

    What languages are programmers learning?

    I'm not sure how you'd use PHP or HACK to program trading software, it seems like it would be trying to use a server side web development language for something it's not optimized for? I say this as someone who would love to be able to throw stuff together in PHP to test concepts. I don't find...
