There is no such thing as Federal Debt, at least not at all in the conventional sense. It follows that there can be no such thing as a debt problem. That's why you won't see administrations worrying about "a debt problem". There is such a thing as the deficit, but it is both good and bad...

Exactly. As of right now, they wear their gun on their dominant side and their taser on their non-dominant. As a stop gap measure as of tomorrow morning, before we take guns away from police entirely, all police tasers should be worn on their dominant side with the batteries removed. I'm...

This new work on particle motion in fluids will not be applicable to financial markets. In my opinion, Pudutrader has it correct. Just read Soros. He understands financial markets correctly. You'll never be perplexed by the behavior of financial markets again. Two of his books I can highly...

Our many "Libertarian" ET colleagues may find this opinion piece, found in this morning's Bloomberg, of interest. I personally found it quite interesting. As you read the article , keep in mind that the realization that “Strong states remain necessary to maintain and extend capitalism and...

What's more important democracy or a couple days of work? The MLB boycott has served its purpose by calling attention to the power grab in Georgia! There is a cost to everything worthwhile. The cost here is a bargain compared to what is to be gained.

thanks.

sounds like a wonderful idea but the media thing doesn't work for me. Something available on Amazon, right? Whats it called?

That's good to know, but I'll not buy another German car until they fix their rodent problem. I would have thought German engineers were bright enough to have figured out how to do that. They've had quite a few years to do it, and they haven't yet! And then there is Volkswagen cheating on...

When reliability begins to suffer, as it has unfortunately in the case of German engineered cars. Check any of the recent reliability ratings and compare them to those for Japanese engineered cars, for example. And the other thing that suffers is repair cost. The more complex and unique, in...

Of course that's true, but you would think millions of dollars in insurance claims every year would get some attention. And it has! The reputation of German engineering is being harmed, because word has got around. Ask any of your friends who drive recent model German cars in rodent prone areas.

In engineering , as in every other endeavor, it's good to know when enough is enough. Failure to recognize this in high tech engineering can quickly result in not only diminishing, but also negative returns.

Some more anecdotal car shit FWIW. I've had my share of German cars. The best car in virtually every respect was a 1995 BMW 325. I now own, among my four present vehicles, a Porsche. But I doubt I will ever buy another German car unless it predates they date they started using soy based...

Be patient.

There is an answer that fits as a reasonable solution to the problems Jeb Bush mentions. It is a return to tracking in our public schools just as we had prior to the great society. This produces a natural selection process. When we did away with tracking, we weakened both liberal arts...

It's impossible for there to be too much discussion of Donald Trump when you consider what he did to our country and the mess he left. We must never forget how much damage a truly horrible President can do in just four years. The amazing thing is that our institutions are so strong that the...

You are, meantime, the master of the "twist". You even twist the media's twist. Everyone knows what Trump said. He said when Mexico sends these people they don't send us their best, they send their rapists and their murderers. Of course Trump is being horribly misleading -- or lying -- as he...

I thought he could despite being a horrible President, because he had somehow got himself elected in spite of being an obvious JACKASS. And I reasoned that if it was a fair election there is no way he can win re-election according to the poles. But I was so gun shy after the first election...

Oh oh. Much of that I guess would be covid related, but still!

That seems like a lot for someone as dumb as Jordan to handle all at the same time.

It's true some quite radical ideas are under discussion, and that's OK. But the wing of the party that is pushing these items is not in control. What we have in the Republican party, by contrast, is lunatics and criminals in control. Every Party should be able to accommodate a wide range of...
