re: Politalk GWOT Veterans - Please help me understand Green on Blue and Afghan Sex slavers

There’s a completely bonkers documentary called the dancing boys of Afghanistan. If I recall correctly the comments section was even crazier.

The whole point of a strategic reserve or a treasury is to ensure you have access to some critical material during a period of uncertainty, not to gain exposure to price movement.
What happened to “not your keys not your coins?” I find it hard to believe TX would buy a gold or oil ETFs instead of physical possession. At minimum it seems like a tacit admission their risk management people want no part of the potential for lost/stolen coins.

This one is headed for peak stupidity. They start a “reserve” with the stated objective being an initial $10mil investment in BTC to be used for systems testing, buildout, etc. for an alternative currency. Then they go and put the money in a Blackrock ETF. …doesn’t that undermine the entire premise?

So when does he expect Biden to make a statement that he didn’t approve the auto pen? Otherwise, this has become a huge waste of time.

Lowering rates increases money supply, not raising rates
My take away wasn’t that their money supply impacts the US. It’s that since Bank of Japan has been allowed to borrow yen at zero and negative interest rates for decades they’ve been allowed to use that money to hoard US treasuries and generate risk free money.
Now that they have to pay interest like everyone else, there’s no money to be made, and the US loses its best customer.

This could be an exciting experiment. People focus on the rest of the world trying to deleverage from USD. Things will get wild if US States start dumping USD to buy alternative currency…We’ll learn quickly how crypto friendly the US government really is.

I bought some back at 7.50, and probably should have just removed the ticker from my watchlist.
Something just isn’t right with their leadership team. Their compensation packages are off the charts. One of their directors disclosed a 500k share sale last month, which didn’t raise any flags considering he had 19million at the time. But, seeing he now has 31 million shares a month later made me scratch my head.

Gen X, long overshadowed by the enormous boomer cohort, are projected to inherit nearly $1.4 trillion per year over the next decade, more than any other group… Many Gen Xers are “sandwiched” between caring for children and aging parents.
How much of that 1.4 trillion do you think the gen x’ers stuck caring for parents stand to inherit?

Congrats being the exception. You probably also created a trust to ensure your assets are protected and the state will pay your healthcare costs if necessary.
On the other hand, we’ve had years of thread titles like “the average black woman is worth less than a happy meal.”

It’s hard to keep up with the PT sentiment. You get vastly different responses about the same ideas depending upon the terms used.
Another thread on the first page has the consensus:
…why should there be middle class when today’s American poor live so much better than the middle class 50 years ago?
