If you assume the Big bang theory, the beginning would have been a singularity, then all matter and energy would have been expelled omnidirectional from the source, the edge of the universe would be the leading edge going into the void. The beginning of our universe was the end of the last one....

glennlab replies on Jul 20, 2022:

@azzow2 If you think of the big bang as being a nuclear explosion in space, there is always a leading edge as the blast expands. The theory holds that the last universe collapsed on itself leaving a void, the big bang then proceeded to fill that void. just our local area is too big for us to comprehend. https://www.vox.com/2014/9/4/6105631/map-galaxy-supercluster-laniakea-milky-way

glennlab replies on Jul 18, 2022:

The planet is literally burning up, but Manchin is talking about inflation, while ignoring the environment, medical care and infrastructure. Coal, is only one small piece of the package. We are not at a point where we can be fully free of fossil fuels, but we are at a point we can start replacing many of them. It is short sighted people that have allowed the situation to get this bad, if Carter's plan had not been scrapped by Reagan, we would be fossil fuel free by now.

It has been defined and redefined in every windfall profits tax law. It is roughly defined as profiteering, that is increasing prices above your historical rates benefiting from outside actions that you did not cause. Examples are after a natural disaster or during a war period raising rates to make higher profits. Almost every state has anti profiteering laws but only the feds can impose a penalty nationally.

@Redheadedgammy I haven't studied corporate balance sheets in a long time, and the accounting tricks they use to disguise their actual profits. There is no easy way to asses it without looking at each company's 10K. Since I no longer charge for investment advice, I am a little rusty. Reagan declined to repeal the tax in spite of running on that because of the amount of revenue it generated in the 1980s.

I wish I could tell this brain dead woman that there is nothing to be “proud” of when you live your life thinking you’re better than others and disparaging those others for the color of their skin!

They don't even recognize their own hate, it is always the 'other's' fault.

@BD66 We are at different points in life, I have entered my next to final phase, My son is grown, accomplished and financially secure, I have what I need and plan on just enjoying the time between now and the time I can no longer travel. You are still in the workforce, have children that are not yet financially secure. I don't know what stage of life you are at. We have different life experiences and different life expectations. I am no longer driven to excel, while you seem to have that in abundance. Please bear this in mind.

@BD66 All I'm getting from you is BS, you seem to believe that your way is the only way and use sources that are questionable at best. I spent the early part of my career evaluating investments for clients, determining risks, evaluating ROI,ROC, inherent risk, client objective, value under loss, tax consequences and suitability. This is a complicated process and you don't use resources that have don't have sterling reputations. In order to stay competent, it required extensive reading, understanding of internal and external factors and constant updates. It only took 3 years of the Reagan gambling initiative (tax reform) for me to decide to leave that field. I do not enjoy it anymore and have been retired from my final career for 6 years. You see things in black and white, while I tend to see things in technicolor, there are no easy answers to complex problems, and finances. If you want to write numbers in your posts, use financial shorthand ie 39 T, 50B, 30M rather than posting a 39Q by mistake. WIKI is not a reference, use it as a general map to get to where you want to go. Economics is a science like psychology is a science. It is never settled, it generally takes 40-50 years to determine if the premise is correct, then you must determine whether to toss it or modify it. Unlike other areas of science, economist disagree on almost everything, there are at least 4 sides to every issue, so if you think you have the answers write a book. So far every book and theory in economics has proven at least partially false and most are partially true. If you want a constructive conversation stick to a single topic, stay on topic and bring facts. We will probably disagree, we may agree

@BD66 but what does that all have to do with the corporate gouging at the pump? Prices have increased without a comparable increase in costs. No more smoke, stick to just the facts about that.

@BD66 Lets abort babies until the 10th month. That's how asinine an immediate increase from 1.5 % to 4 % is. Besides, if interest rates increase, my yield increases. Only an idiot would even believe that we refinance the entire national debt at one time.

@BD66 I have a better understanding of economic and math than you apparently do.. The stock market is not, and has not been since 1983 a reflection or indicator of the economy. The stock market is not the economy and any arguments that is show a lack of understand of economic.

@BD66 The stock market is not a reflection of the economy, it is only a reflection of what gamblers are willing to risk. I got out of the stock market years ago. My house is paid for, my car is paid for, my lake property is paid for and I am debt free. I went through a twenty year illness and came out the other side without debt, I've never sought bankruptcy protection and do not have to work the rest of my life if I don't want to. So I think I applied it pretty well. I travel extensively and answer to no one.

@BD66 That still gives no information about where the data came from or what it includes, If you average oil and gas with coal, it says the energy sector is stagnant, but if you just take oil and gas, profits are exploding. I stand by my previous statement that without the qualifying statements the charts are meaning less at best and deceptive at worst. I gave you a specific sector, which is how you must address corporate gouging.

The link you posted doesn't support your statement. Charts without reference to how the underlying data was aggregated meaningless. S&P and Dow averages tell us only how well the very wealthy are doing.

Writer of obituary in Florida Times-Union speaks up | firstcoastnews.com

Redheadedgammy comments on Jul 8, 2022:

“Did not adhere to our guidelines”. So a fucking newspaper can tell a person how they should write an obituary eh? What a travesty that a person cannot tell their truth about a lousy human being! They should look into their own selfishness on this!

glennlab replies on Jul 9, 2022:

@MyTVC15 That depends on whether it was a paid obit or not, paid obits they have very limited editorial control over. Paid obits are normally only checked for length, since that is the billing information, once it goes to print, that genie has escaped the bottle. We once had to replace a local edition to correct a mistake, but the mistake was still out there. A lot depends on their terms of service. Few small newspapers employ enough staff to ensure that they comply with copyright law, much less to edit reader/advertiser submissions.

Of course that means I have to play.
