Significant Austerity isn't happening, the good news is the deficit is so insane since 2020, that getting budget more in line would not be unbearably painful. Give me a president who will pump gdp growth and productivity, and drop all the social handcuffs on economic projects, and that will be a gre...

Johnson got a significantly different and sensible deal through in the form of individual bills as compared to the mammoth abomination the senate passed, tying ukraine and Israel aid to a border package that was going to normalize illegal crossings at record levels. I'm impressed....

re: House opens debate on foreign aid as Dems save Johnson

Posted by Pendulum on 4/20/24 at 1:12 pm

They got a more sensible aid package through as compared to what the senate passed without the "border security" package that was going to normalize historic levels of illegal crossings. I'd say Johnson got a big win here. Biggest thing I'm a fan of, is splitting it into individual bills. Johnso...

As of right now, Israel with help of the collective west, defended against 100 plus ballistic and cruise missles, and 100 plus drones with minimal damage. As of now israel has not retaliated, and can actually not retaliate and save face since the attack was defended so well. However you want to spin...

So this is interesting, It closed at $59.16 today If you had bought at exactly when OP made thread, at $62.49, you'd be down -5.3%, add back 1.30 dividend and you'd be down -3.2% overall, with a taxable income now. If you had bought at exactly 24hrs later on ex-dividend, at $60.56, you'd...

New to thread, I'm guessing the assumption that there is perfect transfer between wheels and conveyer. So whatever speed the conveyer spins at, the wheels automatically experience an opposite and equal spin rate... and then once you add thrust, the conveyer can never equal the other side of the equa...

This is like depositing $65 in your checking account so you can take out $1.30 tomorrow, only the remaining 63.70 is in a bank that seems like a dumpsterfire. To be a more accurate analogy, I guess you would have to be taxed on the withdrawel....
