Yeah! Things are so much better now! The economy is booming, we shut down Gitmo, we're out of Afghanistan, and the President has totally eliminated the influence of special interests in the federal government! But does anyone know what this brown, smelly stuff is?
Ergo, there were many unmarried older Puritan males about who couldn't have sex within marriage because their wife was dead.
Unless you can find me documentation that shows Puritan widowers weren't allowed to remarry, I call BS. Regardless, if this is one of the beliefs they held, it's not biblical. BTW, the bible actually says that women should be quarantined for a minimum of seven days after childbirth. Following this recommendation may have helped.
What I mean is they claim that the US dollar is going to become worthless, that only gold will hold any value... Yet they are willing to take your worthless US dollars in large amounts and sell you valuable gold for them. That tells you something, specifically that they are full of shit.
No, it means that you're under the moronic impression they're sitting on a huge pile of money instead of TRADING in gold. That means they BUY and SELL it.
Why? Because Goldline is selling gold at a 150% markup, and hence no one will ever get their investment back.
Those are collectible coins. They are worth much more than face value. Is advising a non-collector to buy coins instead of bullion wise? Usually not. However, calling it a "150% markup" is a lie. You can blame their huge numismatic value on progressive darling FDR, who needed gold for the reserve so he set the exchange rate artificially low and confiscated it from his fellow citizens. Most of the 20th century gold was melted down because at the time it didn't have collector value; now it does, because it is exceedingly rare.
I know you're only used to public radio and TV, where funding comes from taxpayers and suckers who buy overpriced CDs and DVDs, but the rest of us dirty capitalists make money by selling stuff.
He re-segregated the military and the post office. He signed the Federal Reserve into law, enabling our current system of fiat currency. He ran for reelection based on keeping us out of WWI, then pushed us into WWI immediately upon reelection. During WWI, he signed a law that jailed anyone who protested the war. The post office would not deliver any periodicals critical of the war. He created a Committee on Public Information to create war propaganda. Goebbels cited the American WWI propaganda as his inspiration.
Now granted there are a lot of other factors involved(Germans actually are tough on drunk drivers, Americans don't give a shit about them)
Well, that's certainly not true. The legal limit is already dangerously low (as in, hard to distinguish from a false positive using field equipment), the federal courts gave away our right to not be detained without probable cause in 1980s because of the drunk driving "emergency" (sobriety checkpoints), and DUIs get their licenses suspended with the first offense in most areas.
This is too complex of an issue to address with such a simplistic statement.
It depends on what you're already heating your house with. If you already have electric heat (not a heat pump), then using waste heat with save you money IF you don't already have a zoned heating system. If you have electric baseboards, you can save money by turning them down in unused areas. Those who have water baseboard heat do the same by turning the thermostats down in unused zones. There's a sizable market for attractive portable heaters in the USA right now to address heating costs in homes without the advantage of having separate temperature zones. It's basically replicating how houses were heated before central heat, except an electric heater with its safety features is safer than an open fireplace or coal/wood stove.
That's funny, because true democracy is only one step removed from anarchy. The USA is a republic with the objective of reducing the negative effects of mob rule.
Because after all, no one ever becomes wealthy who isn't born into it. I think people like Robert Kiyosaki have pretty much proven that the lack of financial education (not just "school knowledge", although that's also important) is what keeps people from becoming financially independent.

No, I'm pretty sure that racist creeds are racist by definition. Preferring one over the other is the definition of racism.

Because energy is free? Besides that, latinum cannot be replicated.

Are you a total ignoramus? The price of gold is set by global demand. Non-Americans couldn't give a crap what Glenn Beck thinks.

Yeah, I'm sure he's pissed that people would find it easier to do exactly what he's recommending they do.
You know what else isn't funny? The only difference between this baby and an abortion is whether it's wanted. Yes, yes, -1 Truth, I mean Troll.
Your top income tax rate is 50%, and you have a VAT. You also have oppressive taxes on gasoline and diesel.
Get that would you, Deirdre...

I find the idea of zombie Beatles far more frightening than any asteroid.

And here I thought it was property tax. You're essentially renting your own property.
Meanwhile, Slashdot is bringing apostrophe abuse to America.
Check the wattage on your space heater, then check the wattage on the bulb.
.. which is just an incandescent that creates MORE waste heat.
You are correct: electric heaters are not 100% efficient. Only a portion of the energy input becomes heat, while the rest is lost as HEAT.
Inefficiency indicates that some energy is not being converted to heat. What is it being converted to, and how much is there?
