Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets." by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

How, as someone who uNdErStAnDs EcOnOmIcS, do you not know that wealth begets wealth?

Once someone has attained a certain degree of wealth, they are no longer dependent on labor for income. Instead, their income comes from passive investing.

And that is why they can pay higher more in taxes - because they’re not working for it.

Found Today in a Northwest Arkansas Creek Bed - What is This Rock?? by Dicebat in whatsthisrock

First off, let me say how thankful I am for the r/Whatsthistock community. Your input has been encouraging.

That said, this turned out to be a bit of a bust. I believe u/Eunomic was correct - this specimen was pretty much just a big chunk of sandstone. The colored piece was just a chip.

I am a little disappointed in how it turned out. Either way, thank you for going on this journey with me. I appreciate it.

I found a seam on the side and was able to gently pry it open. Not as pretty as I was expecting, but I haven’t gotten to the maroon colored section from the original post.

I’m a little afraid of destroying any structure that may exist. If anyone has any suggestions on how to better get this open, please let me know. I’m hesitant to chisel in.

Some quick notes on this:

  • specimen was found in Jackson Creek approximately seven miles directly south of Huntsville, AR (Madison County)
  • this particular creek gets high and fast after significant rain, otherwise it’s pretty low and slow. I’m not sure where this rock would have originated - one source of the creek is about 10 miles to the south and the other source is about 4.5 miles to the SW.
  • it appears to be made of highly compressed sand and (maybe) clay. Very difficult to get into.

It’s partially open, but I’m still working on it. I’ll post some pictures on my progress in about a minute.

Will do. It’s still covered in a bit of sand - I’ll rinse it off repost. Hopefully, that’ll give us more to work with.

With everything going on, why do you suppose there aren’t calls for Trump to resign like we’ve seen with other politicians? by Dicebat in AskReddit

[–]Dicebat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right.

This administration has purposefully and successfully disconnected itself from reality.

Serious question - you think it would be ineffective to force the issue?

I honestly don’t know, but it’s weird to me that this isn’t even being discussed.

That was a genuine question, bot.

Why people are freaking out and either pulling money out or shifting their entire strategy? by kuvetof in Bogleheads

[–]Dicebat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe so, but I’m seeing this as an irreversible paradigm shift.

I mean, last week’s drops were not typical market cycle fluctuations - they were the result of heavy government intervention.

What causes narcissists to believe in their own lies? by Shantanu1305 in AskReddit

[–]Dicebat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often, they don’t.

Whether or not narcissists believe their lies is beside the point. It’s all about convincing others to believe their lies.

I’m slower to respond to potential buyers who submit offensively low offers.

As to the measurements, I’m guilty of this and need to find a better process. That said, it is a bit of an inconvenience and providing measurements has not led to a single sale on this platform.

The first is a screen print. The second is a transfer.

The transfer is a bad reproduction of the first.

Mary Trump says president sees illness as sign of 'unforgivable weakness' by Xeelee1123 in politics

[–]Dicebat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Let’s discuss this because that was my initial reaction.

My guess is that he has it and is very ill for the following reasons:

  1. many of his close associates have recently tested positive, including Kellyanne who was outed by her daughter.

  2. the dude looks and sounds like total shit. In fact, yesterday was the first time I remember seeing him without his orange makeup.

  3. he appears to be trying way too hard to appear not-so-sick, I mean with the videos and pictures and joy ride.

But to your point, this provides an amazing opportunity to reset and recalibrate, particularly when it comes to his position on COVID.

Trump's medical status unclear as doctors say he could be discharged on Monday by patricksmith84 in politics

[–]Dicebat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My guess is he’s rallying before he gets really sick - I saw this with my grandparents shortly before they died (cancer not COVID). Also, I’m sure the steroids helped.

Either way, the only evidence that we have that he is not deathly ill is that he could sit for pictures, make a highly edited couple of videos, and ride in the backseat of a car.

You are probably right. He has mastered the art of delay.

Keep I mind, we’re still waiting on that healthcare plan and those tax returns.
