LOL - you quoted me out of context: It's self-evident. For two reasons, one pragmatic and one grammatical. Pragmatically, I'm not a retard, and I woul...

I did.

Nope. *facepalm* 160K income. On 150K normal tax. On 10K 90%.
March 03, 2018 at 18:19
No. Read what I wrote. "ABOVE CERTAIN LEVELS". $150K is taxed normally, above that taxed at 90%.

I think there is a wave of anti-intellectualism through the world - not just in America - but also in Europe, Russia, China, etc. because intellectual...

Sure, in very unlikely circumstances. Say someone takes a 30-year loan. There is a crisis coming 6 years down the road and you don't know about it (yo...
March 03, 2018 at 15:16
And you suggest that (better) banking is the solution? Nope. A loss in accounting terms maybe. Based on money they could have gotten. No loss in real ...
March 03, 2018 at 14:38
No, these aren't "the rich". These are "the thieves" - they don't deserve that wealth. There is nothing wrong with Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, etc. havi...
March 03, 2018 at 14:19
And when do they become producers? Never? LOL! Banking in Third World countries is the problem, not the solution. They even take charges for taking mo...

Banks must guarantee savings in their bank accounts under certain limits. In some EU countries this amount is like 100,000 EUR per account. So if you ...
March 03, 2018 at 13:59
You get very reckless banks precisely because the social classes I was talking about have already formed. They insulate themselves from the risks, whi...
March 03, 2018 at 13:55
1. Banking is not productive - bankers don't produce anything or add any value. Ideally, banking should facilitate the development of industries by pr...

Trump can't be responsible for the condition the US is in today - he was barely President for one year. Blame your other ex-Presidents like Clinton, B...

Well, I'm not American, and I don't live there. So I certainly am not what's wrong with America.
March 03, 2018 at 13:22
Actually no, Sappy was fired. So it's not his job anymore.
March 03, 2018 at 13:20
No it hasn't. Only nationalising the whole economy doesn't work. I didn't recommend that we do that. Yes, you should - but not as a sleazy banker who ...
March 03, 2018 at 13:12
You shouldn't increase taxes on the rich just because they're rich. That's also not fair, because some people deserve to be rich. He lost more than a ...
March 03, 2018 at 12:56
No, they don't. Entrepreneurs are finding it harder and harder to take decisions on their own, and more and more they have to be at the mercy of board...
March 03, 2018 at 12:55
No, I disagree. Local industries have to be protected, and access to finance needs to be made much easier than it is for local entrepreneurs. Banking ...
March 03, 2018 at 12:35
Protectionism is bad for those money changers - they're used to pulling all the strings, but this has got to stop.
March 03, 2018 at 12:19
No, those "who know more about the economy" are the leeches who make money by being money changers, speculators, etc. I have almost zero respect for s...
March 03, 2018 at 12:18
Says who, the financiers who make money by stealing from those who produce, the money changers and the leeches of society who suck those who are actua...

So soon?

Nicholas Nassim Taleb writes this about Trump in his new book:
March 03, 2018 at 11:13
This is BS. Marx advocates an immanent revolution within the world, driven by human beings. Marx believes humans can judge right and wrong accurately....

Hmmm I thought it was your finances which were supposed to be Empyrean :lol: https://youtu.be/Th2qwiC7q70?t=2m14s
March 02, 2018 at 22:09
How do you square this with:
March 02, 2018 at 13:27
Yeah, I agree with Benkei. When I was a kid my cat would always run away, especially in the summer, and sometimes show up again even after a few days!...
March 02, 2018 at 13:13
Hmmm... it's not very good for the testie satchel to stay humid :lol:
March 02, 2018 at 12:59
Interesting, I'll look into it thanks. Have you tested it yourself? :P
March 02, 2018 at 12:05
Does anyone have a way to deal with sweaty hands? Whenever I meet someone important for a discussion or something, my hands always go sweaty. Or even ...
March 02, 2018 at 11:54
No man, what Trump did is kids play. Really - even Trump himself cannot and does not talk such things in public. He apologised for it when it came out...
March 02, 2018 at 10:49
Yeah, a web developer is a civil engineer who has gone to sleep :naughty:
March 02, 2018 at 10:11
Sleeping is the correlation between civil engineering & web development?
March 02, 2018 at 10:06
Sleep?
March 02, 2018 at 10:05
Well yeah, programming sure. A lot of civil engineering involves programming too - finite element analysis, parametric modelling, etc. all can't do wi...
March 02, 2018 at 10:03
Yeah, I've never met others either.
March 02, 2018 at 10:01
More interesting than that, what's the correlation between civil engineering and web development :rofl:
March 02, 2018 at 09:59
Actually, I know someone who made the same kind of money at an earlier age as a software developer. When I went to university I met this computer scie...
March 02, 2018 at 09:05
I have not personally known an entrepreneur who had it easy, especially not in the beginning. Even doctors who had worked for 20+ years, when they fir...
March 02, 2018 at 09:01
Sorry to hear... it's always sad when animals you've had for a long time die. I remember from my first dog as well. I heard that for most dogs though,...
March 01, 2018 at 20:16
By the way man, I meant to ask you if you don't mind sharing this, what's his main lead generation method? (I suppose it's not search engines granted ...
March 01, 2018 at 14:51
That's not true. Entrepreneurs appear to be self-confident because people identify them as taking risks, and it is true that they do take risks. But t...

No - unless you do that every post in serious threads which aren't located in The Lounge. No man, I'm serious, this stuff is quite frequent in Eastern...

I don't think you know me, and no I'm not an atheist.
March 01, 2018 at 09:57
Ok, if that makes you happier, I don't understand it. No, not necessarily. Oh let's see - like cheating on their wives? Treating women like a sex toy?...
March 01, 2018 at 09:56
Hm? I'm saying that in Eastern European countries people call themselves religious, not atheists. But if you watch their behaviour, you see that that'...

The internet makes it so easy to start a business and connect with a market. You literarily can do pretty much by yourself what 40 years ago you could...
March 01, 2018 at 09:44
Very true. I think the internet is the future - many internet entrepreneurs will be driving Ferraris in 20 years, while lawyers, bankers, doctors, etc...
