Why is kind of sentiment always modded up? If any person on the planet had insider knowledge about the performance of the stock market for the next 30 years, they could become wildly rich as well.
It doesn't take "insider knowledge" to know that even with the Great Depression, the stock market has steadily appreciated over it's entire life.
Really shitty business man? With a success rate over 99%?
If Donald Trump had taken the million dollars he was give by his father and just invested it in a S&P index fund, he'd be worth $10,000,000,000 more than he is right now. Yes, when you're business has underperformed the stock market over a 30 year period by that much, you are a shitty business man.
My own experience is that electronic trading is far better than the old way of letting human brokers skim off much bigger commissions for willing out a form.
f you say "interstate highway system," you create an ambiguity: are you referring to the Eisenhower System, or are you potentially referring to the network of all highways that cross state borders
And that, my friend, is why we call the "Internet", the internet.
Because most people are not referring to the original network of research universities, defense department functionaries and contractors. Most people are referring to the thing you use for twittter and email and cat pictures and porn and playing Counter Strike.
Agreed. They should stick to what is correct in order to at least demonstrate correctness. But what they are saying is that because people abuse the language, they should too, because the abuse becomes "common usage".
It's not about correctness. It's about meaning. The internet isn't a proper noun any more. You wouldn't capitalize the "Phone System", would you? It just isn't a formal name. You wouldn't capitalize the "Interstate Highway System".
And the "Web" is rarely used any more at all. When something becomes that ubiquitous, it doesn't need formality.
This law would basically guarantee that there would never be another paparazzi photo of some starlet skinny dipping or sun tanning, ever, ever again.
And that would mean the end of civilization as we know it.
I mean, is that what it takes to get you off? Has no one told you about PornHub? I mean, what the fuck, dude? Your stressing over the possibility that you may never see another nude starlet paparazzi photo. Don't you realize that now most starlets post naked selfies on Twitter? Or is it a special pleasure for you to think that their privacy is being invaded? Are you the guy who sits on the train trying to get upskirt photos of girls?
Here are some references from reputable sources. The US State Department estimates about 21 million human trafficking victims, of which about 20% are forced into the sex trade.
That's worldwide, Tony. We're talking about the United States here.
This might shock you, but outlawing prostitution actually makes a lot of sense. A non-trivial portion of prostitutes are not willing.
That's a separate crime that has nothing to do with the sex work. Human trafficking and slavery are already illegal. No reason to make consensual sex workers criminals too.
Mary Jo White, the head of America's SEC, had appeared earlier in the week near Silicon Valley, according to Bloomberg, telling an audience at Stanford Law school to be wary of billion-dollar valuation IPOs and warning that founders and startup advisors preparing for an IPO should watch their internal controls, reporting and certifications.
Sounds like pretty sound advice to me.
And Mark Cuban is a well-known douchebag who got lucky once and has been eating out on his good fortune ever since. And, he's one of the worst sports owners in the United States.

Trump's company isn't traded on the S&P.

Isn't it interesting that Sirhan and Manson, like the Unabomber, are linked to the MK-ULTRA program?
The word, "intelligent" is false advertising.
Trump fans be salty.

Not really. Would you capitalize the "Multiverse"?

Tony, that's just not true.

I don't see why you'd need a grenade cannon just to get rid of termites. Seems like overkill.
At least that's something that makes the world a little bit better. A "thermite grenade cannon"? Not so much.
Dude has been snorting cocoa powder all these years. Wondering what all the fuss is about.
If only #3 were true.
The health risks of heroin are not from the drug itself, but from the legal system.
Or lower the Brompton's cocktail age to about 48.
I'm in.
I don't need a goddamn suit to know what it feels like to be an old man.
But on the plus side, you get 10% off at the Old Country Buffet before 5 pm.
