It's not a provable point in an online discussion unless you are okay revealing some aspects of who you are. The issue issue is stating it without evidence, I am in my late 50s, but, in the context of a moron claiming some kind of age superiority I could be 22 and just lie about it. Any position that implies a kind of superiority in an online argument of this kind, knowingly not provable without compromising yourself, is the equivalent "hold me back because I am a bad mother" in a real fight. It's tactical posing. For the record, Mikey Turtle didn't PM me his tax return.

October 4, 20232 yr Russian ruble weakens past symbolic threshold of 100 against the dollar No worries. Another 350 basis point hike should do it.

I firmly believe a majority of these rubes would be fully on board for supporting Ukraine in this war if their guys were in charge (because of Fing course you should). Toddler-like behavior. It's insane that these people have managed to make the Fing Democratic party, basically The 3 Stooges of politics, look like the adults in the room on anything. lock&load mentality - we are entering the abyss
October 4, 20232 yr I think a big chunk of it that nobody is really talking about has to deal with a lack of accountability on the left. Creates a "if they don’t have to be liable, why should we” mentality instead of taking the high road and doing the right thing.

We can argue (or in most cases agree) on which side is worse but clearly both sides are at fault here and both are contributing in creating the toxic environment.

Oh, absolutely. The biggest things that are needed are accountability, and as a result of that, consequences.

Creates a "if they don’t have to be liable, why should we” mentality instead of taking the high road and doing the right thing. I’m not sure what you mean by "lack of accountability by the left.” They are usually quick to eat their own when one goes off the reservation.

October 4, 20232 yr Both sides definitely have their share of dirt bags but one side is being held hostage by a group of morons who are trying to burn it all down.

Dollar has been appreciating against most currencies this week, and commodities are down. FWIW, the exchange of dollar to ruble fell just below 100 today.
