Some Caribbean islands are virtually SELLING citizenships and passports. But It's n…
There are, I suppose, ways to actually move one’s assets abroad. Beyond my scope. But ISTM if you are doing so as a U.S. citizen they still are subject to many U.S. laws including those of the IRS. I did read in either Barron’s or the WSJ a couple m…
@BenWP - the HBO miniseries 'Chernobyl' does an excellent job of portraying that very situation with an authoritarian government. Great series, detailed, and at times heart-ripping....
I actually watched that one. Authoritarian: yes, re: sunken su…
@hank. I appreciate your description and links. About the radioactive waste: I know a guy who works, dealing with it every day. He was at West Valley in Western NY south of Buffalo. That task somehow got completed, I think. He went to the Savannah R…
Someone explain, please? How playing with nukes for power is a different sort of playing with nukes for weapons? Still gotta be radioactive waste produced, eh? What was the hubbub about the NO NUKES concert, then?
I know nothing about science, as …
Syria has criticized Israel's claims of protecting the Druze, stating that Israel is using the Druze as a pretext for its actions.
That's my take, too.
The United States is also involved, attempting to navigate the situation and encourage normali…
at derf. They mailed it to an address that was not the address on my statement. My bank uses FISERV and they could have caused part of the problem. But it all started with Citi, which at least for now is not accepting ACH PAYMENTS.
In this day a…
...And we all come at this particular point from our own individual angles of attack. We all want to make money, investing. Our personal circumstances are all unique. I gauge my risk to be mitigated by dividend payments, and that is a key considerat…
From Alt National Parks:
This is an extremely smart move by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. By proactively requesting an independent review of the D.C. headquarters renovation, Powell is doing exactly what leaders should do when under politically motivate…
I haven't has any hassles whatsoever with my Citi Costco Visa.
My July monthly statement will soon be available.

Glad to hear THAT. Our next bill will be our first bill.
Shomer Shabbos! I don't roll on that day!!!! I told that stinking Kraut not to schedule...
...She kidnapped herself, man.
It's all one big MAGA lie. And at least half the voters were stoopid enough to buy it. That's the awful shame underneath the…

I've read several opionators wondering why anyone would negotiate with a person willing to change the rules on a whim. What would be the point?
Yeah we had an agreement, but then my bunions acted up after wearing shoes from your country, so more ta…
After a meeting in Brussels today, the EU warned it would impose countermeasures
against the punishing 30% tariffs if no agreement is reached by August 1.
I wonder if that item should guide our choice of airline on our trip to Brussels next year? 25…
The 1-month surplus as reported in the news is not a lie, just a distraction. Over the next decade (unless a future Congress and President changes course) we are looking at a weaker and weaker dollar, with a national debt that is so big, it's hardly…
The investigation into the AI 171 crash is ongoing, with a focus on the TCMA and its interaction with the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system. If software faults are confirmed, it could lead to significant regulatory scrutiny and ch…
Crash,,,, check out the performance of PRPFX over all the trailing periods going back five years. Tell me,,, does that surprise you?
Yes, I'm surprised. But maybe I should not be. PRPFX holds 24.01% "other." So, as always, I ask: "WTF is OTHER?" C…
