Thanks, Bill. I carefully read your update. I thought of an alternative to why we have inflation as we have it today. And I've heard many reasonable explanations for the inflation all of us are experiencing; we in the US might have it the worst. I might be oversimplifying it but here it is, nevertheless. The elites, or as I like to refer to them, the DC oligarchy, want to maintain their power. Power gives them control. And how can they fix global warming without control? This is why now I'm hearing that several states and possibly the feds are proposing more fiscal stimulus. That's my two cents. Cheers!
"You might think that a democracy would undertake programs designed to help the majority of its citizens."
As I understand it, when Aristotle named democrateia, there were over 100 demos in Athens. A demo/dema was a "neighborhood." He called democrateia the "perversion" of popularly elected government. Democratie, as the French still call it, is designed NOT to help the majority of its citizens, but some neighborhoods at the expense of the others. Democracy is legitimized civil war, designed to do exactly what it is doing now. It works every time.
For the record, politeia was named/designed to help the majority of its citizens. I suppose that the word politics has been corrupted in order to confuse discussion.
That's how it looks from the rock this croaking frog is sitting on.
Why remove bonds from your investments? Are you not allowed to short ? You missed a great opportunity to make easy money. Tell Dyson to start paying attention and quit playing nomad!
Bill, most of the time you are SPOT ON, however, you must understand the dumbing down of America for the past forty plus years has been about globizing, and you can not rpt not have a one world with a strong U.S.A., therefore picking on any lefty in office at any level, city, county,
state, or the the upper, is not gaining any effort, only helping the enemy win the votes of the masses, which I might add is the result of the "dumbing down of ANERICA" for the past forty five years. So stop picking on individuals and go for the real asses, the globing seeking, power
hungry, elicit. Ralph Wood---- If I need to send you more $$$, please let me know.
Bill, I congratulate you for seeing the merits of my earlier posts. Now, let's try and not be too conspiratorial. No one gives a flying damn about Chelsia or Hunter or any of the other supposed "influencers". The most important things right at this moment is one, for the Feds to balance the budget and two, to insure that main street income keeps pace with currency devaluation. If that could be secured the government and the consumer could retire the enormous debt load that is held with dollars that have lost value, not all value but, perhaps, 30 to 50 percent. We've already done that much without consequence so do it again with a balanced budget and we may be able to put the house in order within 20 or 30 years, a reasonable time frame. Investing in this climate is not so tricky, just look for things that reliably track inflation, rents track, commodities track, real companies making real products if they aren't overvalued track, things like that I would believe.
I believe that knowing who you can trust is essential to finding peace in this world. I turned off the news going on 40 years ago now, and consider it one of the 3 best decisions I ever made - so I knew nothing about those kids. A bit of internet "research" found that what I thought was a "$50K per month" misprint was true. I was struck with the confirmation that our major media is owned by the "elite" class, or "demagogue class," speakers for their own demas (using Aristote's definition.)
Hey, Bill, what's going on at the ranch? Any news on the strange drowning?
Come on Bill! You are in Argentina and you are discussing bonds??? Give us a break! We want to know what's going down at the ranch!

$30 trillion in debt and Trump gave the Elite a tax break.

Are the “Government I Series Bonds” somewhat safe in your opinion compared to Bonds in general?

pv you are a fool. you play right in to the globalists hand. i really believe you are a troll.
You,sir, are an idiot. Full stop!!
what's wrong with CNN? I can't wait to know what you watch; well maybe I don't want to know. Don't tell me.
what Zucker did has happened in a lot of companies.You don't throw out the baby with the bath water.
some of the other news companies have had their problems also.
You are a know it all smart ass. I bet in your mind only what you think is right.
Putin won’t go quietly hiding in a hole like Hussein and Gadaffi. His last act will be to launch all the nukes.
Of course I’m not certain, it’s just my opinion. Hasn’t
Bill convinced you that nobody “knows” anything?
Stop insulting old PG V, he's right 1/2 of what he wrote above. Will get around to which parts later. Have to cut some weeds to improve the world.
Not sure it's insulting to call someone an idiot - especially if they demonstrate all the characteristics of being one, but will try to be nicer
