no, but I like Brazil and Brazilians. In Salvador I went into a liquor store and there was a bunch of people standing around drinking the liquor. I found out you could taste the liquor before you bought it to make sure you liked it. Very hospitable, I thought. Liquor is very inexpensive in...

You are the champ bigly in that category.

Here you go jem. Courtesy Numbeo, whatever that is. I see we are doing better. All the way up to 35th, just three places below India. Health Care Index for Country 2017 Click to see this on a map: More information about these indices Select date: Select Region: Africa America Asia...

I have traveled widely as a matter of fact. And I experienced first hand healthcare in Brazil. Although strictly anecdotal, my experience there was wonderful, and even more so if I compare it to what I would have had to go through in the U.S. under similar circumstances. Three cheers for the...

Of course it can be fixed, and the only industrialized country that hasn't fixed it yet is the United States! In all other industrialize nations there is a third party payer, just as in the U.S.; yet costs are half as high, or less. Therefore the explanation for extraordinary U.S. costs can not...

In all other industrialize nations there is a third party payer, just as in the U.S.; yet costs are half as high, or less. Therefore I believe your observation goes only partway to explain the extraordinary cost of medical care in the U.S. And although your observation re plastic surgery and...

where is the mechanism for private messaging? It seems to have disappeared from ET?

Perhaps your viewpoint could be improved by further academic study. :rolleyes:

Your estimate of how long an investigation should take is unrealistic. This is an investigation focused on more than one individual, proceeding down many interconnected paths and involving inquiries into both hacking and financial transactions, and it may evolve to encompass obstruction of...

Thank you for your informative and clearly stated viewpoint. It is essentially in agreement with what I already believed, based on my reading, to be the case, i.e, that the events you mention are related to provision of an alternative to Gazprom as a source of natural gas for Europe. Soros, at...

If this is meant as a serious comment, please read more.

I get that. Fortunately for my generation, they are still in the minority, however I am concerned regarding the future.

There is no excuse for such a lack of manners and decorum on the world stage. What an embarrassment this guy is!

no.

Many were not as aware of the financial transaction investigation, because the popular media didn't start focusing on it until recently. It has always been there. Those who read widely outside of the popular media were aware of it but very little detail has come to light. Nevertheless, anyone...

That's an interesting hypothesis!

The main investigation has always been that into Trumps financial transactions involving Russians. I pointed this out weeks ago, well before anyone else in these forums. Trump is being blackmailed by the Russians and it is over financial transactions illegal under U.S. law. The exact nature of...

I think you would find this interesting even if you don't quite agree. This 1997 meeting of Soros and Krugman at the Council on Foreign Relations when the topic was "globalization" nicely summarizes my opinion on Globalization if you allow for a blend of Krugman's and Soros's viewpoints...

It is more then plausible. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming! Keeping Ockham's razor in mind, Trumps bizarre, obsequious behavior toward Russian operatives, which runs entirely counter to his nature, can only be explained if he is bat shit crazy, or he has done something Russians...
