eeos, I was in his camp originally.
Until I realised that his car motor was a 140 year old design running on a few thousand AA batteries (and green govt subsidies). Which makes him a brilliant salesman, not a brilliant technocrat.
His rockets are great, certainly. And his Starlink system is fantastic – the antenna design superb – but if it comes at the cost of no more radio astronomy, which it does and he has known this for several years but has refused to do anything about it because “we are not breaking any rules” he is just a selfish arrogant plutocrat.
Then he announced that he wanted to colonise Mars. He makes it sound so easy – “Mars is about half again as far from the Sun as Earth is, so it still has decent sunlight. It is a little cold, but we can warm it up. Its atmosphere is primarily CO2 with some nitrogen and argon and a few other trace elements, which means that we can grow plants on Mars just by compressing the atmosphere.” All lies. Blatant lies. Anyone who buys into his salesmanship is simply being scammed.
Half as far from the sun means only 44% of the sunlight (the inverse square law). Much slower plant growth.
It is a little cold – what is a little cold? What, precisely, do you want to warm up? The planet?
Its atmosphere is negligible. For practical purposes, there is no atmosphere. Yes, you can compress it 100 times to reach one earth atm, but then you have a pure CO2 atmosphere and plants die at over half a percent CO2. Oh, and you need water, and humidity (more water), and soil. There is no soil on Mars. The dirt and dust on the surface is toxic, nothing can grow there. “we can grow plants on Mars just by compressing the atmosphere” is total bull***t.
Don’t believe a word he says.

Yes I think it’s hate crime too. You didn’t see any white people jumping in and assaulting the people on the ground. Punishment should be severe which it won’t be … that’s why some people think they can act this way.
At least the driver who caused your daughter’s accident didn’t get off totally. Like you said there’s a big gulf between intentional and unintentional.
Prayers for you daughter
On the other side here’s what DJT did.
Something we didn’t know during the 2016 Gop debates. There was a mix up and all the candidates walked past this black man and doctor but Trump.
Ipso 12:11
I could have a lot to say about the mob mentality attack on those two people. I hope this time hate crime charges are given or if they want to condone a race war against whites who will then exercise their rights to defend themselves and finish it.
Besides revolving doors in the just us system to the kind that have nothing to lose anyway the citizens should do what my daughter did, although I kinda put that idea in her head, who’s still having to use crutches to walk almost a year later.They should not be able to cause nearly killing someone and that much trauma and say or sorry and walk away. The uninsured motorist in this case isn’t going to walk free. She took her to court and she agreed to pay my daughter 200 a month as shes not young but doesn’t make much or own a home. The nothing to lose can still stand to lose since this payment is going to go on for years and if they don’t pay their wages can be garnished. That was a accident.
This willful thugs should be charged much more, job or no job and follow them for the rest of their life including while in jail or prison be made to work and pay back their debt. Lawyers don’t want these cases cuz there’s no money in it for them but they can do it. Now my daughter is looking for these people who buy their settlement so she can go buy another motorcycle. Under the circumstances I don’t think she’ll find someone to buy it thank God.
Buygold @ 15:04 re PMs Dropping
It looks to me like a big over reaction in the futures market to me where they buy big amounts on big margin, where they can make it big or lose it big. So they tend to fall all over over each other trying to all sell out at the same time. Probably the smarter futures players are buying the dip. Look at Copper.

I see some PMs holding up ok, like AGI OR SNWGF AEM SAND
Disappointing but par for the course I guess
Powell pissing in the cheerios.
Dollar soaring but rates not as much as I’d think.
If they weren’t beating the pm sector, what else would there be to do?
Could be worse, we could be down like palladium and platinum. Yikes.
Another end to the pm rally on the year. They’ll be coming out of the woodwork with those headlines tomorrow.
Shorts are hammering them
Silver down almost 3%!!!!
All those shorts that withstood the $39 level, are cleaning up. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Captain Hook @ 10:01 re your Gold: A Backdoor to Modern Confiscation?
I think the Global Communists that have manipulated the USA since 1971 30 years ago are and have been net losers since 9/11/01. They are TOASED in my book. Look at the charts below and look for the date 2001 on the lower line, its plain to see how 9/11/01 changed their world economy and powers.
Gold Postscript Document
Silver Postscript Document
Platinum Postscript Document
Palladium Postscript Document
Feeder Cattle Postscript Document
The global powers simply went too far with all their stupid rules and regulations created so they could slowly drain wealth away from the USA until 9/11 started their loss of power. We were taught in high school in the 1950s that socialism/communism can’t last forever, because after a while they run out of other country’s money to spend as they were economically draining the USA.
Recently the iron clad global idiots are even losing their climate change bull shit rules designed to shut down the USA and build up communist China et al. Everything is in reverse. Its time to be happy.
Do you remember what happened in 1971? Maybe you were too young? But the foreign countries were sending US dollars spent by Americans on their exports, and redeeming them for Gold at $34/oz when privately Gold was selling at $140/oz.
We were forced to cut them OFF. But they didn’t want to lose getting our wealth anymore, so they started absorbing our industries instead. Until their agenda went too far. Joe McCarthy was right in the 1950s.
Better fill up the freezer …
… because government … and the monopoly they are creating in beef … are going to make sure prices go through the roof … because they love you …
Opps … mistaken again … they still want to kill you … you would think.
Make sure your beef is not getting RNA shots … that’s for sure.
The international bankers and Trump …
… who works for them … are making sure JP Morgan will have a monopoly on stablecoins … creating a central registry and social scores … just like a CBDC … because they love you.
Oops … guess not … they still want to kill you (once you are no longer useful to them).
Nice people
Buygold @ 12:05
Disgusting behavior! Should be some big prosecutions … but there won’t be. Not a great reflection upon Cincinnati. Who would want to move there?
Europe will fall to legalism and fundamental religious trash
So I hope they pull every person from US Forces in Europe. It’s time to pull out and say goodbyes. I hope they love prayer calls 5 times a day and mindless retarded shit.
Ipso, deer79
Ipso – that was an attack, not a brawl. Doesn’t matter if it’s a blue state or not, I will carry regardless. The hope is you see it coming, those people did not. If you’re out, especially in a city of mixed company, you’ve got to be alert to your surroundings.
deer79 – I think that’s the right play. Hopefully we’re right.
Ferrett
He’s doing some things that are good and some things that are bad. It’s life, a balance. He’s a technocrat. I’ve like him and been in his general camp for at least 15 years. The whole time most on this board poo poo’d him. He’s made many people millionaires. He’s come up with tons of interesting business ideas. It’s called sharing the wealth, calculated risk taking, and doing things that aren’t just the status quo. If you were doing it, I’d be like damn, I’m glad I know Ferrett.
The confluence
of Fed decision day and the end-of-the-month marking scenario, creates a perfect squall for the scum.
FWIW, I’m using my sideline cash to re-load……

@TaviCosta
Gold producers’ margins updated.
We’re living through what could be described as the “Golden Age of Mining”, in my view.
Yet, it’s striking to see that many mining stocks still trade as if gold were below $2,000/oz.
A significant re-rating is still on the horizon, in my opinion.

: Last week’s Cincinnati brawl is a powerful reminder that “tribalism” will destroy, not perpetuate, the Great American Experiment
Sounds like a good first step to me …

Tokenizing Gold: A Backdoor to Modern Confiscation?
Give the commies a spare minute and they are working on a way to screw you out of your wealth.
Whatever you do … don’t tokenize your PMs.
Wait until barter takes hold and unleashes its full value.
Of course, if they reset prices … which looks quite possible in years to come … use your judgement.
Trading PMs for fiat … is of course … usually never a good idea if you don’t need the currency … especially with
crazy power-hungry people quick to debase legal tender in charge.

The big Fed day
They’ve got the dollar up slightly with rates, crypto and gold flat. Oil is down near 1%. They are trying to give the illusion that silver is headed lower, as it has broken below $38 this am. I say illusion because the silver shares don’t seem to be believing it in the premarket, as they are flat.
Whatever, the set-up is good for a rally IMHO. Whether they cut rates or not.
Some eco data today. ADP jobs report. GDP numbers with PCE’s. Probably will matter some to the SM.
Tech is up again to start the day, Dow flat. Tech is always up. Craziness.
