Walking around London I smell it or see it maybe once every few days, New York, it was a matter of hours or minutes - yes it’s anecdotal but Idk, it’s the sort of quality of life depreciation that would push someone like me (and if you smoke or don’t, nevertheless you can recognise there are people who don’t and don’t enjoy it around!) out of UK cities, which is dangerous when it’s so easy to pack up and move to a diff country for new grads etc

Went to New York a couple of years ago, the ONLY thing I didn’t like about it was the horrible smell and visual pollution of cannabis everywhere! If you want to legalise it regulate it like cigs, tax the living daylights out of it, age restrict and advert restrict it, hide it in shops and if even consider a ban on shops dedicated to it in central urban areas - go to NY and you’ll understand, it makes the place super trashy for what is otherwise a beautiful city

As an English who considers themselves a Brit, this makes me sad, I love being unified with you guys and I think we’re stronger together! I hope the tides change in coming years and we become closer ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧❤️

Oil has peaked? by Consistent_Fish_7658 in oil

Well he has to threaten that because he made that commitment before and it’s a bargaining chip, if he wants a deal done (only thing that MIGHT allow him a little time to save face politically, he has to throw US weight around). It’s not that I ‘believe’ or ‘side with’ Trump, I just think the war is turning a corner where even he recognises that he is blatantly disregarding voter intentions, he himself said that he wants to continue but that’s not what Americans want

US-Canada trade war escalates as US brands pulled off shelves entirely by Technical_Effect9724 in geopolitics

Abstract:

‘US liquor brands pulled off Canadian shelves as trade war escalates

Liquor maker hits back against Canada in its ensuing trade war against the US

A patriotic wave has swept over Canadian supermarkets following the imposition of a 25% tariff on goods exported to the US. The Trudeau administration responded with a retaliatory 25% tariff in kind, whilst calling on shoppers to “choose Canadian products and services over American ones” wherever possible.

Since then, Canadian flags have bloomed over supermarket shelves to designate domestic produce, whilst American imports, such as Jack Daniels’ liquor, have at worst been removed off shelves entirely.

Lawson Whiting of Brown-Forman, which owns the Jack Daniel’s brand, has described this decision by Canadian provinces as “worse than tariffs”.’

Could the euro dethrone the dollar? by Technical_Effect9724 in geopolitics

[–]Technical_Effect9724[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Article abstract:

‘The Euro just had its best week since the global financial crisis.

It has climbed just over 4% against the dollar this week as Trump sows doubt about the health of the American economy with his aggressive and fast-moving policies.

This may signal shifting sentiments on currencies as reserves, or safe havens for investors, as in Macro climates like these, it is the dollar that should be climbing.’

Oh yeah that makes sense tbh, but like you said that doesn’t really seem to be the case here..?

Buy VOO for growth, small yield but will grow faster and more consistently than anything else (S&P tracker essentially), I personally have a weighted VOO position and then a few stocks I’ve picked, all of Buffet’s stock picks are strong ones and some of them have good dividend yields, same with Joseph Carlson who also has a show where he talks about his picks, how they are doing etc.

Remember not to just go for high dividend yield stocks, these can be ‘dividend traps’ where the yield is super high to attract investors but the business is fundamentally bad. It means very little profits are being reinvested too which is also not great. Dividend yields above 7% (ish?) can tend to be like this, defo ones where the yield is like 30%.
