Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=scaredyclassic]Knipl is yiddish for a small amount of $ a wife keeps hidden from her husband for her own purposes[/quote]
Very cool! I didn’t there was a word for that. Is it the same word when the husband does the hiding?[/quote]
No. This is an old word. Different time.
ParticipantKnipl cartoons are super profound

Participant[quote=spdrun]Is that pronounced with a silent “k”?[/quote]
No. Kahn nipple like knish
Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]Talking to you about china is just useless, your are already over the edge LOL.[/quote]
Are you named after THE shoveler? I’ve always identified more with The Spleen.
Spleen: “Why are you guys always dissing me ? It hurts my feelings. I’m a superhero too. I have powers.”
Invisible Boy: “Really ? Like what ?”
Spleen: “So glad you asked. Well, it all started when I was just 13 years of age. One day, while walking with some friends, I accidentally cut the cheese. Well, in my adolescent awkwardness, I blamed it on an old gypsy woman who happened to be passing by. BIG MISTAKE ! The gypsy woman placed a curse upon my head. Because I smelled it, she decreed I would forevermore BE HE WHO DEALT IT !”But I guess I have a lot of invisible boy in me too
I’d say 35 perc spleen, 40% inv. Boy, 25 % shoveler
Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]Most of what used to be Communist countries are now fascist.
They are efficient however but very corrupt.[/quote]
Poland sounds pretty damn good.
Which are the bad ex commie countries?
I’ve bought 3 pair of shoes from tadeevo in poland.
They are so far as superior to any shoe made in America. We cannot make a decent barefoot shoe?
They really are good. Expensive, but the price includes shipping. I have no idea what those brilliant poles are doing, but I gave never ever had a sole last so well. I instantly wear down the outer edges of all shoes.. except tadeevos. They seem to have some supernatural rubber that does not wear for thousands o f miles.
Id love to buy american. .but there is nothing remotely comparable to tadeevo for quality and style.
Softstar up in Oregon? Maybe, but the soles wear. They’re just vibram.

Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]Have you actually traveled the world much Scaredy ?
I have been in a fair amount of it, The USA is not perfect, but it is much better than anywhere else I have been.[/quote]
A year working in europe. That’s all.
But how would one know, say, the ins and outside of the justice syste. Just travelling.
A better rough estimate probably comes from national happiness indexes. We suck. If a system fails to make society happy, it’s not necessarily bad….but it could be a bad sign that ones system isnt great.

I am all for it. In a few weeks, we’ll find out whether or not the lockdown was necessary. I am glad I am in CA and not in GA.[/quote]
L.a. Proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man, he couldn’t make it)
So he’s leavin’ the life he’s come to know, ooh
(He said he’s goin’)
He said he’s goin’ back to find
(Goin’ back to find)
Ooh ooh ooh, what’s left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He’s leavin’ (leavin’)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leavin’ on the midnight train)
Yeah, said he’s goin’ back
(Goin’ back to find)
To a simpler place in time
(Whenever he takes that ride) oh yes he is
(Guess who’s gonna be right by his side)Maybe better to take the midnight train to l.a.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=outtamojo][quote=scaredyclassic]The wall came down.
The whole system seemed doomed to fail.
Haha so stupid.
But how might capitalism fail?
Does it start by sending govt checks signed by a fraudulent huckdter tv personality out to everyone.[/quote]
We were never really true capitalists to begin with. Our system is taking a hit because we have the most incompetent people ever running our federal gov. Well
actually they are good at one thing -they have a preternatural talent for getting people to act on their worst impulses.[/quote]I had this conversation with a friend a few days ago.
The myth is the we have manifest destiny and the most perfect constitution that allow us to overcome anything and always be #1.For example, the states are laboratories of governance thus always providing us the optimal federal government.
With regard to Covid, if we compare the USA to other countries, we can clearly see that it comes down to competent management. God didn’t somehow bless us with the best government.[/quote]
I suspect when people say we have the best system in the world, they cannot describe even one other system, other th an maybe a n Korean dictatorship.
Participant[quote=ucodegen][quote=scaredyclassic]
Well. Maybe.
But doesnt that assume that conditions for growth stay roughly similar? You seem to say theres an objective right price that the market eventually moves toward, and fools chase higher prices.
But what if instead of a 2 trillion stimulus we have a 200 trillion stimulus. Or there is some other shock to the system that recalibrated what earnings might be in number terms[/quote]
The market does not move ‘toward’ the accurate valuation – but about it; sometimes higher, sometimes lower.There are always shocks to the system that can ‘adjust’ or change the earnings and performance of a company. Volatility occurs almost proportionate to the unknowns. The trick is to figure out how much the shock will actually change the earnings. Nothings constant except change.
When confronted with the unknown, I discount the valuation for by the unknown, trying to bound how much is uncertain. I do take ‘jumps of faith’ on some, however I severely restrict how much I buy.[/quote]
So is oil worth zero, given its negative externalities, and we are just moving that value , plus 30, minus 30.?
Seriously, how does one discount valuation when oil goes this negative. Or maybe this is bullish for growth. We will pay you to mindlessly drive to the mall…Participant[quote=outtamojo]No need to park. Yall can just unload the oil in the tanker vessel I gonna buy at a bankruptcy auction. As soon as I find one…
Seriously I got a bad feeling about things to come and what this could be signaling
( not that I know)Not a good time to be led by someone who’s
filed bankruptcy like six times or so.[/quote]How does oil being negative dollars fit into a rational stock market valuation?

ParticipantWell, I’m going to walk to work tomorrow, first time. Test my new spf gloves, make a few calls, no lunch expenditure, walk home, bake a potato …not a lot of economic activity.
Participant[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]Kind of hard to spend $ on anything but groceries nowadays.
Over the last month, I bought a hiking umbrella. Some spf gloves. A pair of hemp pants with an old j crew gift card lying around. Some books on amazon. All in, less than 200.
This is not good for the economy.[/quote]
I’m not sure our spending has subsided much on stuff like that, but our entertainment fund is barely getting touched.
We used to spend $150-200 every Fri and Sat night. Now it ‘s about $100 on Fri (we order delivery for the whole family) and just a bottle of wine at home on Sat.
And from the delivery times, EVERYONE is ordering delivery on Fridays! Delivery time is now about 2 hours on Fridays![/quote]
I’m not a big spender but it’s hard to spend $ when you’re not out and about
That j crew gift card was like 2 years old.
