One of the best ways to lower CO2 emissions would be to insist by law that any new cars sold after 2020 are either electric or hybrids. With 2030 for only electric cars. Hydro electric power stations could shut down coal and gas ones, plus supply water to draught affected farmers.

You guys have an immigrant problem on the Mexican border. We in Britain have the same at Calais ( that's in France, in case you don't know ). They are breaking the fences and climbing into lorries, private cars etc. to cross the Channel. Can't all be American citizens escaping, could it ? We are...

Two good old boys, Mick & Paddy, have been promoted from privates to Lance Corporals. Not long afterward, they're out for a walk and Mick says, "Hey, Paddy, there's the NCO Club; let's you and me step in." "But we’re only privates," protests Paddy. "We’re Lance Corporals now," says Mick...

Sorta goes with a person whose last name is Head ?

Malthus brought up the subject in the 19th century but after 2 World Wars and a huge increase in jobs maybe we have solved the problem ? Catholicism is one of the major contributors to over population. No birth control says The Vatican, but how can they square that with a million desperate...

Thanks will have a look

The politicians are on a win/win situation. No doubt they get inducements to legislate for the big money taxi cab companies and the little guys on uber ( that's capitalism - fleecing the drivers from both ends ). Don't try and tell me they are so honest that money doesn't decide the issue ! Just...

I used to program a bit with Metastock. But didn't like the amounts of money needed to trade from that platform. So I turned to MT. Chose MT5 as the newer and cheaper platform. Still with it. I bought a book to have a go at MT5 programming. Stuck 1/3rd way, without much clue of what it is...

These matters these days are decided behind closed doors at Jackson Hole, the Bohemian Grove etc. Not healthy.

A good example of heartless capitalism !! A boon to the rich and a yoke to the poor. In Britain the rich let the poor just survive well enough to avoid a revolution. In France and Russia they misjudged it and suffered dreadfully. I note Tom Keane on Bloomberg was complaining this morning about...

Interesting thread showing current US views on that old chesnut of The Haves versus The Have Nots. If you want an insight of events leading up to the present situation read the history of the Ford motor company. People like Henry Ford and his hitman Bennett crushed the labour movement in America...

I have no problem on some people being worth and paid more than others but the differential gap between rich and poor has become much too big. Dangerous as it is, this really unfair situation causes bitterness and envy. Want a nice country for people to live in then keep the gap low for a " we...

Every company should have it's own union. A happy company is a successful company. The present arrangement is so 19th century with the chief Hog raking in a disproportionate amount at the top and a stuff the workers attitude ( so they need 3 jobs and 2 hrs sleep per night to feed a family, so...

The West has tried and failed in it's attempt to make them like us. It has parachuted in democracy, trillions of dollars in military and political aid, but to no affect. The islamists in Nigeria burn down schools not welcome learning ! Bizzare as beheading anyone who won't swear allegiance. On...

Nothing to do with a non existent socialist party in the USA. The US never has had a viable socialist party. The Republican rich just used it as another bogeyman to scare the half-witted. The politicians like giving the rich more and feed off the crumbs, kick backs etc. The poor are unorganised...

Did you know it is illegal for 2 working girls to share a flat in the UK ? Ridiculous laws like this one lower the law's cred considerably. If anyone gets any pleasure in this hard life - the sodding politicians tax it or make stooopid laws to restrict it. While they live the high life ! over...

You seem to have a self discipline prob ? Work on it in every aspect of your life imho Go for that 3 pm walk to clear your mind etc. No need for cold baths every morning like at the school I was sent to though. Tackle and defeat 1 problem at a time Stick and carrot Do 1 push-up for every pip...

I have borrowed this article from elsewhere, I hasten to add, before someone mistakes me for being clever. Good traders = nurture; great traders =nature. Probably! You’ll note from the FAQ title that the question asks whether good traders are born or made. Arguments have raged about this for...

Don't drop the day job until you are consistently profitable But if you are retired like me - bliss ( no wife or kids to worry about too - bliss * 2 ) as I plot my next move from my fav armchair !! I have been watching that gold mining series from the Yukon ! No thanks dude ! I did that sorta...
