Donald Trump – Modern Day Walpole  (3)
Any one who has to declare himself "very stable" and a "genius" is definitely neither. Going forward all I will ask of my leaders is that they speak in complete sentences and attempt to not be the focus of every news cycle.Trump makes me miss GW Bush who famously asked, "Is our children learning?". The answer, as evidenced by the man-child Trump, is unfortunately no.

ONLY CONTRARIANS WILL SURVIVE  (3)
It seems evident to me that a human population die-off is inevitable. Maybe as a species, though, we’ll get lucky and not even notice a relatively quick die-off.

Continued resource scarcity and unwinding of complexity could easily bring a tipping point towards significant population reduction over a relatively short period of time; while ironically, at the same time, allowing most people a somewhat norm...

Republicans Craft the Next Great Healthcare Failure  (3)
Doctors and hospitals are in the service industry and thus they can't charge more that the incomes of their clients can support. Every society has figured out some way to pay them more than, for instance, car mechanics, who are also service providers.

The USA just has a very inefficient method for paying them more than the market can afford. The solution to this problem will never be market based becau...

Gold and Silver Bullion Now Treated As Money In Arizona  (1)
Since this only eliminates State income tax on gains from PM holdings, I can't see where this will have much influence on the public's use of PM as money. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming already didn't have this tax already and is there any evidence that those states for that reason have much higher levels of PM holding compared to other states? Across the nation everyone st...

Aetna Abandons Obamacare Totally: See You In September
Republicans could have been heroes, but their too damn stupid. They are just sticking to their traditional approach: incompetence and cutbacks.

Bold solution all ends of the political spectrum could have embraced:

1) Extend Medicare down to age 55. That would solve the biggest problem of providing affordable insurance to the 55-64 age group. Pay for it by shutting down Medicare Advantage plans...

Baby boomer bugs to bust bullion  (4)
I would think that boomers who own gold represent a very small percent of the overall gold holdings in the world and what they do with it won't matter that much; and most will leave their gold to the next generation anyway. If gold ever achieves a high value it will be because the large institutional holders see to it that it once more becomes a means of balancing accounts between large and distant trading organ...

Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory Of Federal Tyranny! - "General Sherman has silver and gold enough to s  (21)
What a useless response. I am not Jim C.

Also, though the UNC archives show the existence of a letter about plunder from Myers, the author of this article should have linked to an actual copy of the letter and the judgement of academics as to its authenticity. The UNC archives mention that the letter is not an original, but a "copy" of such a letter; and that the copy was produced in the south in 1944. ...

Lesson: Inferior morals (support of slavery) and inferior military power equals loss of gold and silver.

Don't laugh about Edo Period Japan. By all accounts it was one of the best models of civilization in the history of mankind:

Also, you sound deluded when you claim that global warming and peak oil are issues that should only concern fools.

Dorothy's silver shoes or the re-monetization of the silver currency of the United States of America  (7)
How would that Treasury adjustment work if the price of silver dropped?

Vietnam Central Bank allows imports of 5 tons of Gold to stabilize the market
Can't someone answer these questions: Are the Vietnamese privately monetizing silver as they are with gold? If yes, at what premium or discount compared to the international spot price? I can't find any info on the web regarding the "street" price of silver in Vietnam.

It would be interesting to know the street price of silver in Vietnam. Are the Vietnamese also monetizing silver?
