You're confusing lying with edited coverage. We get essentially the same information from all the Western Countries and they all have news agencies that are independent of each other and independent of the government. However we have PBS in the U.S. and we have the BBC in the UK. The BBC is...

Are you simply blind to what the Russians are doing in Ukraine?

If you were looking for unquestionable integrity, where would you go? Your Mom? Your Dad? Your Dying Grandfather? Your Kindergarden Teacher? Your Dog? I don't know where I would go first but I do know the last three living persons on Earth I would go to in the order of most to least...

I thought, and still believe, Bernanke was one of our best Fed Chairs in the history of the Fed, I wish he were still chair. He had a way of speaking so that ordinary folks could follow and he avoided too much detail detail for the average person to absorb. However that simplification has led...

Good question! The only way to do this that I can see is to require some form of mark to market accounting, and then only on highly liquid assets such as securities traded daily in volume, where it is easy to arrive at value. Then you deduct unrealized losses from unrealized gains, with carry...

Comments such as these are almost always due to partial information. Sometimes there is some truth in them and sometimes none.

It seems houses are not liquid assets, but are they regarded as such??? This business of paying zero or a very low tax rate on a very large income is a bit misunderstood I believe. I think the misunderstanding may stem from a Pro Publica or Forbes Story. (I can always count on Forbes for a...

If the unaccounted for 2.3 trillion in the Pentagon audit was ever explained, we probably wouldn't hear much about it other than in a short column in the back pages of the NY Times. "A Trillion Missing..." makes better headlines than "Missing Pentagon Money Found..." I never consider...

An eye catching title : "Biggest Fraud in a Generation..." will get our attention. The art of governing well is largely a matter of getting priorities in the right order. Fraud is not good. Not getting the PPP money out the door quickly enough would have been worse, so congratulations to those...

The tax structure needs revision. We don't have enough information about the new proposal yet to properly evaluate it, but it would seem there may a much better way to go about revision than what the administration is proposing, which it seems may be a form of MTM accounting for those in certain...

Oh, so now there is a way to make millions without risk. Kool!

I am quite familiar with it and I do like it very much. But he makes the same errors in treating the Central Bank as though it decides how much to print and as though it is independent of government when in fact it is, today, very much part of government. But his descriptions of the short and...

I like this video, although I think it could be harmful in some unintended ways. I don't want to suggest that Dalio's final remarks are wrong , I think they are right, but not as helpful as they might be if they were more specific. Some of his details, however, are incorrect but probably...

indeed!

Thanks. I knew it was mostly conscripts being sent, and word coming back was that morale was low among them. But you have added a new dimension to my understanding of why, in addition to the obvious moral questions raised by the invasion, that morale might be especially low among Russian army...

When I read stuff like this, my first thought is: "What a Fucking Country We Live In!" and I have a similar reaction when I read about public school funding being supplemented with bake sales to raise money for text books. "What a Fucking Country, Indeed!"

Why the soldiers are there. You will have more insight into that than I. The question itself suggests there is more than meets the eye here. What are your views on that? Of course it's the Western Press! Why would anyone, including Russians, believe the Russian Press? I belief the pictures...

Call the Executor and ask what is has been done or is being done with the matured bonds that were in the estate.

I'd be interested in your thoughts of why they are there other than to infiltrate the country and take it over. I thought the current idea was to start killing as many civilians as possible until Ukraine gives in to Putin's demands. Putin has been talking for at least 12 years, but actually it...
