@Crash- I see nothing at either of those sites suggesting anything remotely similar to "99.9% of reported crimes back there involve Hispanics/Latinos".
A week ago when things seemed to be looking up I asked this question:

And the actual reason for this reversal is... "just because" ???
Never did get an answer on that. Seems like "just because" didn't hold up so good.
Some of us have speculated that the long term national loss of union organization has been a significant factor in the minimization of income for many types of labor. Without any desire to argue the accuracy of that sentiment, let me just say that t…
"Immigrants who come and reject their new home and its customs, systems and values should be dealt with. Via the legal system, immigration system or however. Preferably BEFORE they are permitted free entry, to roam around and sometimes even cause ha…
An observation regarding links: Don't know if it's my aging eyeballs or today's monitor screens, but most of the time I just can't see a "link" by text color differentiation.
That's why anytime that I post a link I underline it so that it stands ou…
"few today take the threat of a territorial conflict escalating into all out nuclear conflagration among the superpowers seriously."
@hank- Speaking just as one of the "few", I'm not sure that it's accurate to say that I don't take the nuclear thre…
@davidrmoran- Hello there- yes, but I subscribe to the NYT web version, so that isn't surprising. I also automatically get Krugman's commentary via email, and had read that article earlier today.
Liz Truss, Boris Johnson's replacement, is off to a great start, proving to be unexpectedly agile and masterful in all things financial. I'm certain that she will be able to sort all of this out to everyone's total satisfaction in short order.
OK, here's the deal: I start a couple of etfs, and you guys bet against me. You'll all make a fortune, but I get 10% of what you get. Why didn't we think of this a long time ago?
No, no problems at all. Using an older Mac, though. Who who knows these days... just when you think "everything is working and I'll just leave it alone" some stupid damned thing happens, usually because somebody someplace thought that they would ju…
This one is going to be very interesting. In other Trumpian bullshit, he's suing CNN for, among other things, punitive damages because of CNN's use of the term the "Big Lie".
Maybe in his league that particular lie wasn't so big?
@davidrmoran: Also like Krugman's way of thinking. Surprised that you were able to link that without subscription wall. Yes, he made a good case for eventual reversion to systemic low-inflation. If so, at some point purchase of fairly high yield lon…
It seems to me that the fundamental concept of an SWR is to establish a constant rate that will be used during retirement, come what may.
If we're going to be adjusting the SWR up and down depending on market conditions (which makes perfect sense t…
