Good article. Thanks for posting. Use this simple test, it seldom fails: If it seems implausible it's probably not true. For some, this test can't work, because they lack the experience and knowledge needed. Pity.

This is the most sensible post you've posted in a long time. But be wary of anything Trump says or does, or pretends to do. And particularly be wary of any thing involving Trump and Putin. I am confident that if the sanctions actually continue to be implemented, regardless of what Trump says...

This is insane. Haven't you noticed that the attack is continuous and is not in any way modulated by those rare occasions when Trump reads directly from his teleprompter . There is no pattern. It's one long continuum! Trump is a gangster, a jerk, a demagogue, and a huge embarrassment rolled...

Ha ha ha, do you mean, perhaps, why didn't I act like a politician and answer a question that wasn't asked? Of course I don't know if you live in the U.S., but if you do you would know that the U.S. federal government does provide some assistance to some individuals with regard to food and...

Your remarks may be closer to the truth than many are prepared to admit.

Quoting from your nice post: The reason the historical temperature measurements indicated a lower climate sensitivity than models or paleoclimate data is because the Earth has a fast and a slow response to increases in carbon emissions, Proistosescu said. I am pleased to see the often...

I recall the thread in which posters were claiming Amazon was a short, because it was way too high based on earnings! That was just before Amazon headed for new highs! Never short a stock just because you think it is too high!!! Remember, Google is way more than the world's most capable...

It depends, I suppose, on whether you want to live in a place like East Africa or in a civilized country. The U.S. can not be said to be truly civilized until it provides reasonable access to routine healthcare to all its citizens regardless of means.

I did not read this entire thread, so I apologize if someone else has already made this point. Obviously all the other industrialized nations, and many more, have already figured out how to deliver healthcare to all their citizens at a cost at least 50% less than the U.S. cost, and in most...

Congratulations you have just identified Healthcare as an area that requires government to take charge!!! Nicely done.

Unfortunately there is no "dislike" button.

So what! As I said, and I am happy to repeat it. Impeachment is superfluous to the matter of whether the President can be prosecuted for crimes he/she may have committed before, during, or after serving. They may not be indicted while in office. The only surefire escape a President out of...

No problem, you idiot! And impeachment and its result is superfluous in this regard. Once they are out of office, for whatever reason, they can be convicted and sent to jail. Impeachment and conviction or absolution in the Senate won't make them judgement proof against crimes they committed...

If you understand the reason than you are perhaps the only one in the Universe that does -- or at least the only one in our galaxy!. :D

These concerns you mention, concerns which are "real" in the minds of many voters, are based on both real and manufactured, alternative facts. Underlying, however, is a distrust of government that has been very effectively, and ironically, embedded in political discourse by the Republicans and...

:D:D:D

Actually, my impression (I certainly can't prove it with a reliable survey) is that alt right "thinking" is abnormally represented among traders in general, and particularly among short term traders, i.e., gamblers. I don't know why exactly, and haven't thought about it much; just accepted what...

You should always take the mean. One or the other can be an outlier. Throw out the high and low and take the mean of the remaining. That's proved extremely reliable.

The don't do it personally. It's handled through the AG's office. And I can't be;ieve your so naive as not to know that.

We were founded as a plutocracy, regardless of how we characterized our nation at the time of its founding.* Although we have had periods when we seemed to drift toward becoming a democratic republic, there can be no question that we are now moving back to a plutocracy very much in the image...
