How could anyone argue with this statement? Yet I think it should be examined more closely and we should ask why is our current state of affairs such as it is. In Gore Vidal's last half of the 20th Century he often remarked that there was little difference between the two political parties...

The answer to your questions, I would say, is NO. Talk to people in the wholesale and retail businesses. They will tell you they are waiting longer for orders to ship, and they are only receiving a fraction of what they ordered. This will end. But when. Lifting some tariffs should be of...

I have read enough to determine I don't want to waste my time with them. They quite often intermingle facts with conclusions that reflect a particular political slant. But that's not the worst. The worst is the outright mis-statement of fact and conspiracy promotion. Their standards fall into...

I can't entirely disagree with this. It is possible some of the misleading was a result of the press not quoting him in entirety, possibly with a particular agenda in mind. As you know, I am not one to put any trust in the Trump administration, and I see Fauci as a victim of an evil...

All a person has to do is read ZH to know that you are being fed propaganda.

I understand that the quote you posted is attributed to Fauci. As far as I know it is correct. But where is the lie in it? Fauci never said, so far as I am aware, "don't wear a masks." If had said that it would be a contradiction of what he wrote Burwell. From the beginning, I'm certain he...

I already quoted Fauci's actual position already. Knowing this, no reasonable person would describe Fauci's early position on face masks as a lie, even though his position did evolve somewhat, but clearly he never lied.

Quotes are one thing, paraphrasing is another. It is common to distort a persons words by omitting key context and qualifiers. Paraphrasing can be intentionally used to mislead.

All of this is false. For example here is what Fauci wrote to Burwell, which was correct when he wrote it and so far as anyone knows is still correct. However I might add that ordinary "drug store" face masks may be somewhat more efficient at trapping virus than Fauci realized. Though the...

This: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/03/20/border-family-separation-mexico-biden-477309 will explain the differences in policy between Obama and Trump. They were significant! It is a very nice detailed article and an eye opener..

Of, course, we should. Such demands are likely to go unmet. But we can atone for our own grave, intentional inhuman treatment of those in our care. We can send immigrants back to whence they came without a fair hearing, which only violates international law to which we are a party. But we...

Yes, outrageous. Yet this outrage pales by comparison with the outrage we should all feel over our government's separation of children from their families and then losing track of the parents! This is a script right out of Nazi Germany. I am sorry to say, I have no faith whatsoever in the...

There is some tendency for stocks to go up in anticipation of good earnings and then sell off on the actual announcement. Nevertheless the answer to your question, IMO, is, yes. But that does not mean the market will necessarily soon experience a correction. Remember inflation lifts nominal...

can you explain? Who is paying and who is being paid. who is censored? I genuinely want to know why you posted this. I do not understand any of it.

Can you explain what the "COVID argument is". An informed side and an uninformed side does not make for a valid two-sided argument.

You may be hedged and not realize it. Do you own equities? Broad stock market exposure is better than a perfect inflation hedge! (The perfect hedge provides no gain and no loss) Overall the S&P has kept up with or exceeded inflation. [Past results my not reflect future results] In 1979 and...

other than 25 million doses successfully delivered into U.S. arms with out outstanding results and safety. They are on track to produce 3 billion doses by sometime in 2022.

Well I started to write something, but then thinking about this gave me a headache. I think in scheme two the 40% estate tax on estates over about 12 million is going to be painful. I quess in scheme two you're able to borrow at way less than the cap gains tax? The step up saves the cap gains...
