Not really, Apple is a very liquid stock and he materialise his gains pretty quickly.

The biggest issue of Climate Change is that it doesn’t really mean anything. We need to be precise if we want action done. Our worst enemy is lack of information and the mistakes done when selling Global Warming, think Al Gore in the 1990s. Let’s not be fooled to think CO2 is such a magical evil molecule, we need to tackle much bigger problems than a chemical that earth is naturally trained to tackle.

It’s not politics, when a country promises to start the nuclear holocaust the fame changes. Putin turned Ukraine into a World War threat. Don’t be fooled, nobody expected such reckless which is a sign of desperation. Russia is certainly in some deep deep problems.

I don’t understand why you make this rhetorical point. Climate Change is a passive threat, War is an imminent one. Equating the two is evil.

Of course Capitalism exists outside of the government. Look at the extremes: Capitalism : Mercantile Exchange were value is created by the providers and users. Socialism : Central Government sets values and controls every single aspect of your life.

Cronyism is essential part of Big Government, something that is not necessary for Capitalism but completely necessary for Socialism.

That is a problem that needs cracking but you are starting to see the solution emerging on the crypto and DeFi work.

Capitalism is the ultimate democracy, everyone votes with their labour and their purchases. The more regulation, the less power the individual has. Of course, some regulation is necessary to avoid abuses.

Discussions should be on the level of what rules allow society to reach a better result, not just try to artificially fix problems because it leads to even bigger problems.

Cronyism is indeed the disease and there is a solution on automation and transparency. Big Government is not the solutions and it will only make all the problems worse. I really don't understand why so many smart people think that solution for the whole world is to sit down and vote money into existence.

I will never work because it just can't work, everyone is different and has different priorities. A better world can only be built from the bottom up, just look at craft beer and how independent people were able to retake one of the most monopolistic industries in the world.

Americans are finally catching up to Third World standards. It's pretty common to work two jobs and juggle between them, it's just that you used to be able to have a decent life with one revenue stream. It seems that after covid this will no longer be the case. ;)

You can easily disprove your theory by using the number of vaccinated vs unvaccinated that were exposed. We are talking about severity and not spread, that is easily done.

Who determines Beta-Quality ? What you complain here is something all developed countries already allow, anyways .. let the lobbyist bribe whoever they want.

No wonder Tesla is leaving California, over and over again you see corruption and government control taking over inovation.

Absolutely, I find this claim of "created santa" is so silly that it sounds like revisionist history. Kazakhstan, Lithuania and other regions have "Santa" traditions that go back over a hundred years and it is mostly indistinguishable than the "propaganda" version.

At this point, I find it remarkable that people use the term “found studies” as anything but self selection. You can prove anything including that the earth is flat and that video footage in the moon landing is fake.

Don’t forget that the ancient alien theory is a phd research with published papers

It also means that deep learning algorithms will soon deserve more rights than humans.

It’s still a gradation, “as complex” is obviously a stretch. The whole argument is silly, soon turning off my Deep Learning algorithms because they are more complex than lobster.
