this isn't about mining anything. it's about doing financial transactions without Visa, Mastercard or pesky central banks having to be paid to verify transactions
if you make a tiny profit then a bad year can wipe you out. meanwhile apple can go a few years with no profits, fix their product lineup and then hit it big again
how can parts of Islam not predate Mohammed? Allah was an existing god with roots going back hundreds of years. the Quran mentions Noah and Jesus. A lot of the rules or the same as Judaism and Christianity. They don't accept the Trinity like a lot of early Christians rejected it. Islam is Judaism and Christianity separated by some linguistic differences.
we know the names by the english names which are based on greek names. but the original names of noah, jesus and other characters were all arabic sounding
the old testament is worse. most of that was written in babylon and reads like a broken telephone version of old sumerian stories that date back thousands of years prior. even the symbols go back to ancient sumer and iran
airports are expensive to build and operate. most cities and states set up public corporations that take on debt and pay it back via fees. high rent, fees added to tickets, landing and takeoff fees, rent a car fees, etc.
except expensive things like satellites are big capital expenses and are expected to last for many years. The same with installing the equipment on aircraft which also needs to be certified by the FAA. this is the same whining as with ISP's. when they laid out the current networks almost 20 years ago with new wiring the expectation was a 20-30 year life.
a lot of these are tweeted by interns because the actual politicians are working. no reason to jump on someone for saying the wrong thing on a slow news day
maybe bush should have parked those trucks in the disaster zone to be flooded? maybe people should have listened to the evacuation order and left the area?
i'm sure there is a ministry of something out there with tens of millions of people doing nothing but reading people's emails. all billion or so that are sent daily. they must be the ones responsible for the Toll Brothers ads I see after registering with Toll Brothers and having them send emails to my gmail
it's not the reviewers, it's hyping the games for months before release to get people to pre-order at retail or download a copy so they can play the very second it goes live. and then let the idiots beta test the software while you fix it.
well yeah, some people struck it rich with real estate or stocks. a lot of people have trust funds now from the big immigration wave of the 1870's to 1920's. my mom was like that. she bought some real estate in NYC when it was dirt cheap in the 90's, sold it 10 years later and moved to a cheaper state and bought a house for cash. worked a little but hasn't really worked in almost a decade. NYC real estate is an insane arbitrage/ gold mine if you hold it for 10-20 years and then sell to move to a cheap area.
and then you have all the retirees out there with paid off homes and 401K's. a lot of counties will drop your property taxes to like $1000 or less a year if you're a senior so it's not like you need a lot of retirement cash to live on. 10 years ago i was looking at buying a house in NYC and looked up the property records of a dozen random listings. about a third were old people with paid off homes.
