The origins of the Sunni/Shia war date back to about the year 850AD.
Prior to the current flare up, it was last seen in the Iran/Iraq war that was managed (stalemated) under Reagan. By the same people that did the 'mideast' for Bush 2.
Getting two enemies (basically Iran backed Shias, and Saudi backed Sunnis) to fight each other is a great outcome. So long as we can keep them fighting and stalemated, they are occupied.
Of course nobody can say this outloud in DC or it doesn't work...
I was born in the garden spot of Troy, NY of refugees from communism. I'm, statistically, pretty rich at this point.
Most of the trapped poor love 'the tit', not realizing it infantilizes and traps them. They hate anybody who works for a living as well as the rich. Believing it's all about 'privilege', egos are fragile...they believe whatever it takes.
You don't need to hold bitcoin long, to use them to get your money out. Right now, Chinese investors are legally trapped in the Chinese bubble (unless related to someone powerful), thank dog for bitcoin.
_All_ currencies have invariably been disastrous 'sooner or later'. You just don't want the blame landing where it belongs.
There is no inherent reason that governments should issue currency. Taking that power away has been a good thing when it happened (e.g. fucked up nations adopting the US$, fucked as it is, to prevent their local fuckwits from printing like reds). But doing it wrong (e.g. the Euro), is even worse. The point is to take away the printing press, not give one to every little stain of a government.
That bullshit again? There was never a balanced budget. There was one budget that was projected to balance. That went away with the.com bubble.
We're still waiting on the spending cuts the Ds promised Bush 1 to get him to agree to tax increases. The deal was taxes now, spending cuts later. Cuts never happened.
The best trolls don't work for government. They do it because the love it, same as all great artists.
Don't neglect the positive effect of trolls in breaking up circle jerks. There are groups that _deserve_ trolling and any other mockery they get. Laughter is a weapon.
Sorry, but if I'm in the desert with one canteen of water, I am NOT required to share it with some moron who was stupid enough to go out there without any. Your scenario of kidnapping etc isn't really on point.
I will share, if it won't kill me to do it. But he doesn't have a 'right' to my water.
Legally in the USA, west of the Mississippi, he does have a legal right to access my _well,_stream_or_waterhole_ (not canteen), but not for a herd of cows, just for himself and his horse (old law).
Dude, I was involved in getting Australia's power pool running. Sell your bullshit somewhere else. Everybody sheds load, everybody still browns out when things go badly.

Wait a second, are you saying a thinly traded penny stock was a going concern? I call bullshit.
Never change snowflake.
Raise taxes now, then spending cuts later is the bullshit I'm pointing out.
Stop it, your kids are confused. Never going to knock up their GFs/wives that way.
Bullshit. The CP USA was funded by Stalin. KGB archives are open now. They could lie about it then, but it's just a _fact_ now.
Was supported by traitors like Sanders and Obama's mom. Both known reds, Sanders took his wife to Lenin's tomb for their honeymoon...
I will say there are a decent number of clear thinkers that were raised as 'red diaper babies', Horowitz is a prime example.

Do you know how I know you don't know anything about accounting and capital costs?
He didn't pay for the factory with cash, genius.
Bitcoin is a good solution for individual Chinese. The Chinese government, no doubt, hates it.
My position is narrow: Capital controls are bad. Anything that makes them not work is good for the world.
Do you watch TV through binoculars? Unless you're sitting right on the screen, or it's huge, you can't even see '720' pixels.
At typical sizes and viewing distances, 20/20 vision means you have maybe 1080p eyes.

It's a Ponzi scheme, not pyramid. Get it straight.
You should also not save for your retirement. Enjoy your life and spend 110% of your income, the government will take care of you.
Counterexample: Vegans.

Printing presses are a feature? No, they are a bug.
Exchanges would be analogous to banks. The blockchain would be analogous to the fed.
I hope you completely depend on SS and don't save a penny for your own retirement. I also hope you like the taste of cat food.
Just like blaming Madoff's funds would be wrong. So we don't blame the fund, we blame the Government and Madoff respectively.
Free lawyers are worth what you paid for them, maybe less. That's not a good example, unless you like plea bargains when you're innocent.
Bitcoin's main service to humanity is avoiding capital controls, it does that well. Fuck the governments.
FYI...$19k. A bargain. IIRC The worst deal recorded was the trading of the Carlsbad beer brewery for 6 tulip bulbs. Right before that bubble popped.
Ignore the biggest one, the social security trust fund. Government is no better than Madoff.

There is still debate: Twit or twat?
