Sounds crazy --- I don't want to start a billion (trillion $$$) bank. What happens if "my bank" has never more than $10,000 in total assets. Our loans never go above $100. Do want to offer ATM cards, just we're nano-sized.

Do I somehow slip under all the banking laws? Just as an "experiment?" Is this something that I could do? OR is it just a crazy idea?

The majority of Americans have brain damage of some kind from toxic organic pesticides. This is why people are so weird.

Look for the twitches and shakes, that the indicator. Especially facial muscles around the eyes. We've all been poisoned. The organic chemists have known this for years.

The upside? Cheap corn.

Now what?

Ok, so if you think the hell thing is going to hell, just go SHORT, it's one click away. How simple is that?

And that's why these predictions never pan out, if it's SO EASY to make a ton of cash off a crashing market, then EVERYONE will go short, since it's so EASY to make money.

And that's why markets are generally stable and it's what humans do best, we go LONG. :-)

Our brains have evolved. At one point we recognized everthing in our field of vision as "here", and everyone else was further "away."

Now we have lots more of even NPC (Non-Playing Characters), closer to our inner fields. Facebook friends really are your friends. As if they were standing right in front of you.

Your are in effect, "Delusional" . . .

Or something like that.

A heads up? Don't take a cabinet making workshop with an instructor passionate about what you can do with a plank of Birds Eye Maple, a router and a piece of sandpaper.

You may never look at another Javascript framework again. So DON'T take that class. You may do something crazy like quit your day job and make wooden bowls all day. And have way too much fun.

You don't want to have way too much fun. And don't get me started on glassblowing!

You can do pretty well on Etsy, and code on the side. And keep that grad degree in CompSci as Plan B. :-)

1 in 10 people will actually end up getting Alzheimer's.?

I have never seen anyone over 75 that does not have some kind of dementia. Zero. Alzheimers and Dementia will soon be one of the same classification. It's happening.

Nature is just telling us, you have to go. It will be incurable, it's painless. She's being nice to us. Yes treat it, of course, but we have to let go sometimes.

PS, I work with seniors. People have NO CLUE to what these people go through. Zero.

And NO one can face this question, eventually, we die. Know the millennials don't believe that. They can't even comprehend it death. But it's true. Really. And it's OK.

So live life as it should be. For ALL our days are numbered. Don't worry, be happy.

The mile high view of USA health care is if we can "eliminate" the poor, the old, the sick, in the long run, it will make our economy stronger. It seems to be doing it's thing.

The life expectancy is coming down for the first time in decades and the stock market is at a record high. It's a "social darwinism" thing. We're a living lab to test the theory out.

That's the mile high view. I'm not sure what the long term consequences are.

US life expectancy drops for first time in 22 years

Louisiana sounds like hell. Guess they sold their souls for jobs. They seem OK with that.

The risk of cancer in Reserve, a community founded by freed slaves, is 800 times the national average, making the community, by one EPA metric, the most carcinogenic census tract in America—the cause is a DuPont/Denka chemical plant adjacent to the town that annually spews 250,000 pounds of the likely carcinogen chloroprene into the air. If you think the situation in Flint is bad, there are approximately 400 public water systems in Louisiana with lead or other hazardous substances leaching into the drinking water. Meanwhile, hundreds of petrochemical plants peppered across the state’s lush swampy interior freely emit carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and neurotoxins into the air and water, as well as inject them deep into the earth.

Why work for a company that has a +95% chance of failure, a fraction of the cash you would make at a FANG, after 3 years at FB think the "average" hire is now worth like $3M.

Why work at a startup? Makes zero sense.

Just a life tip. If doing a deposition, take a 1/2 a Xanax. Stare at the opposing lawyer, long and hard. And answer in a very slow tone. Like slooooowwwwwwww.

Bonus points, spell out the names, VERY SLOW, of everyone involved. Watch lawyer meltdown.

Enjoy. :-)

Actually hung out with a JP Morgan Chase banker the other day. Big into crypto. He said the SEC had no clue what was going on. They leave at 5 PM, and head home to wife's and kids, and mortgages.

While the "kids" are hacking, micro-dosing, and working 100 weeks. And they are all of 17.

It's not in their world. A 55 year old banker is not hacking solidity contracts at 3 AM. No way.

Republicans are "afraid" of unknowns. People, places things. It seems to be wired in. They are not really racists, just they are "afraid." Probably goes back to ancient days. Who is that stranger? Do they carry a disease, will they take my wife, etc. Why take a chance?

While Democrats seem to welcome the unknown. Take that chance. Lets just take a leap. WTF, life is to experience it all. And then we die.

Seems that we are really not ready to live in urban areas yet, with all these foreign "tribes", amazed we all do.

Conservative friends: OMG that food is so spicy, how can you eat it?

Liberal friends: Give me more spice! Pile it on!

I'm an old WASP, pile on the spice, drop me off where I don't speak the language, can't figure out the food, toilet paper? What's that? Life is so short, I'm ready to just take any chance.

Mars? Sign me up, one way is better.

Due process? Ha. Arrested in NYC way back when.

Rights read. NO. Telephone call.NO. Why was I just arrested? WHO KNOWS? I need my lawyer. HA. You can't hold me for over 24 hours for nothing?

You don't like it? Sue us. The NYC tax payers will end paying all the costs. HA HA HA

My experience with "Due Process" in the USA. At least I got out alive, in China may have been different.

Thank you NYC taxpayers for that $1000 settlement check after legal fees. :-)
