Ha ha. What sleepy Joe did is go to fifteen an hour without needing a single Republican Vote. Super clever. Now businesses will have to raise their pay or they won't be able to hire. Well done, sleepy Joe! And Yes there will be some inflation. But in the end, we will ALL be better off...

Oh Oh. What's the matter with those folks? I thought kids in dog kennels was very popular there considering how close San Diego is to the Border.

He'll be eating delicious Armadillo, road-kill stew in no time. I just love Texas.

Some friendly advice. Buy only Company B, and for god sake don't buy Company C that will use their retained earnings to pay executive bonuses. Company B, thank goodness, would never do that.

jemmie, texas can't help failing. Look at the map! Texas is almost all red. Of course it will fail, over and over again. The rest of us will have to bail Texas out over and over, as we had to with the power crisis. Maybe we should just cut them loose and let them twist slowly in the wind...

Although you somewhat misrepresented what I wrote, I don't mind. You've made your thinking on this subject very clear.

Dividends above a certain amount are taxed at taxed at capital gains rate, unless they are earned in a Roth Account, aren't they?? Is there some reason to think that if you don't receive a dividend you will receive a capital gain later at least equal to the dividend. Or is a bird in the hand...

What is your time limit for the number of years a vaccine must be in use, and what is this based on, before you are happy with the absence of long term effects. I do know that death from Covid is at least one of its rather short term effects, but I have little knowledge of what it's long term...

This is of course illogical. This unfortunate incident is only evidence of the self evident, i.e., when large numbers of people, directed by politicians and the laws they create, manage large numbers of dollars, the probability of either corruption or an honest mistake occurring goes up...

There are incorrect or misleading statements in this post above. Their are no untested vaccines being mass produced for wide spread use in the U.S. All of the vaccines approved by the FDA for mass production have been tested for safety and efficacy: tests in animals, then large scale clinical...

Let us know when you find two companies identical in all respects except one pays dividends and the other doesn't. :D And even then, the one that doesn't pay a dividend is not necessarily the better investment. Now back to the real world. Generally speaking a lot has to do with what a...

Would it perhaps be correct to say it can be a reaction to too loose money, which can be another cause of inflation..? It seems that verb tense becomes critical here. In the case of Argentina, who knows. Maybe the data doesn't tell the whole story. They have a flat tax rate. Bad idea! And...

When discussing rates in countries that have deep sovereignty over their own currencies and have therefore not been forced to "borrow" in the conventional sense, we should not consider rates in countries that were forced to actually borrow using debt instruments denominated in another nations...

A video shows him being sprayed in the face at the range of a few inches with "bear spray". As a scientist I would want to know what bear spray consists of before drawing any conclusion regarding the officers death. From what I read on the internet bear spray consists of capsaicin at...

For an excellent, well reasoned, thorough and scholarly criticism of "trickle down economics" see John Quiggin, "Zombie Economics". John Quiggin is an Australian economist, a Professor at the University of Queensland. He was formerly an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow and...

There are two sides, or more, to every issue. Sometimes the right and wrong side are unclear. To this issue,i.e., whether peoples' access to voting should be suppressed if you don't like the way they vote, there is a clear right side. In this instance the right side is that of the political...

Trump has no political philosophy, or any other philosophy. How you going to score that? You'd need a "dimwit," third, z-axis. His only thought: "what's in it for me," which led him to refuse to step down gracefully, would put him projecting out toward us from the plain in the upper right...

We need fewer but better cops!

It is not that dangerous. The ratio of police killing other people to other people killing police ~170:1 . It seems the police have tipped this ratio in there favor by killing preemptively, just in case someone they stop might have a gun. Shoot first, ask questions later seems to be their...

I think it is important to understand that the primary money Printing step occurs when the Fed must add a net amount to the Treasuries Reserve Account in order for the Treasury's checks to clear. Keep in mind that this is a purely functionary Role that the Fed plays, and they can not use any...
