I would prefer, and I think it's one of the very most sensible gun laws anywhere, that we just adopted Canada's law word for word. But I understand that's not where we are now, and there is no reasonable probability that that will happen soon. So if I harped on that it would be a diversion, just...

That's the NRA line. Because they know that the only way we identify criminals is by their crime. We do confiscate guns from criminals. It happens everyday. \So are you ready to give up your guns? No, of course you won't follow through. Because you know as well as the NRA knows, we can't...

It would be my pleasure. You'll soon find out who has a clue and who doesn't.

You are far out of step with reality. For the U.S. Federal Government there is no such thing as debt in the sense of what debt means to you personally. The concern for government is whether there will be sufficient productivity to absorb the money. If there is not, the Congress has a way of...

I was thinking in terms of these mass shootings not criminal acts involving guns in general. wrong? I thought the current pressure was on these so-called assault rifles with big magazines. I don't think most of the criminal stuff, robbing the local gas station, involves those kinds of guns...

I think there is a misunderstanding. I don't think anyone expects it to be easy to get weapons out of hands of true criminals. But it can be done over time. But that's not what I'm talking about here. First point: I am only suggesting that only very specific kinds of guns be outlawed...

That's a pretty reasonable figure. But it has got to start out smaller and then grow non-linearly. The amount needs to be adjusted annually because there is a maximum rate the money can be efficiently absorbed and put to work without undue waste. But I would say ten Trillion over ten years is...

I think everyone legally here on election day should be able to vote except Republicans. But how will we identify them? Maybe every overweight white, middle-aged male wearing a necktie or a MAGA hat should be prohibited from voting. That would catch most of them.

This is breaking new ground but I think I'm OK with it.

Green card holders have soc. sec. numbers. They are not citizens. They can't vote in national elections, but they are eligible for social security benefits.

I thought Auther's point was that the brief dip in March 2020 was not an indication of a bear market; that there remains the same bull market briefly interrupted.. But he is calling our attention to the reality that if this is still the same bull market than it is getting rather long in the...

So there was a big bolt of lightening, just as I was replying to you. It cut my power off mid sentence. So now let me finish my thought and response. It could happen. Not likely on a national scale though. In fact, It has happened on a local scale! My buddy, Harry, and I were throwing...

OK I promise I'll get back to you. I don't mind criticism, deserved or otherwise. In this case, I think it is deserved.

Can you explain this in 5 cent words? It's too fancy for me to understand. Yah. here is where he fed could logically play a role. Reg T. They could change it from 50% to say 40%. [I wish they would, though it would create a buying opportunity.] So yes we can put some blame on the fed for...

You were ahead until you suggested banning good clean fun. I know you're joking, and its a great photograph by the way, but these are not the kinds of weapons we are proposing be banned. By the way, you should give credit to the photographer, unless you were the photographer, of course. I did...

Oh my Lord!

I think this is probably believed by many to be true but is probably wrong. We need to discuss this. Can you specifically say what you think that "danger" is?

As an old, now retired, sailor, I kinda miss the 12-meters, but still enjoy watching.

OK.I have to accept that FBi number as probably the most authoritative. So (4 million)/(hundreds of millions) , the denominator is from your post. What shall we say it is-- do you have a somewhat reasonably active figure? Lets say it is 200,000,000, a conservative guess. then the fraction of...

Yes. I would say the general tenor is bullish for now at least accompanied by an up tick in inflation. But isn't Auther's primary point that this is now a ~ 12-year-old bull market that might be getting a bit long in the tooth. It is very hard for me to see a sustained bear market getting...
