Internal consumption. I worked for a big company with lots of international investments and acquisitions.

What is useful is fairly simple and straightforward- reliable sources of data. I think this video has a lot to do with our discussion. The complexity of macroeconomics (multivariable, hard to predict) and the lack of timely feedback makes it hard to master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of this (famous in the US with traders) quote " If You Spend 13 Minutes A Year On Economics, You've Wasted 10 Minutes." For longer term investments the economic picture is more important though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 @Stromboli1 You vil eat ze bugs... Look at this bozo. He's a Professor, and Director of the Center for Bioethics at NYU. He wants to bio-engineer humans to make them allergic to beef. It's not a fake, it's not a joke, you can cross check this info on many sources. Of course, he says he just "considers the possibility", but doing so (for a "bioethics" guy) is fucking crazy already. Quote Pharmacological intolerance to meat In order to reduce this consumption, Liao suggests artificially inducing an intolerance by stimulating the immune system to work against the proteins present in beef. https://www.bbva.com/en/human-engineering-fight-climate-change/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to the gulag for people like this and NYU needs their funding pulled immediately. You are the carbon they are trying to reduce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 ^ I think secretly we are all jealous of him in some way. 😛 Playboy had it right; they shouldn't leave but should all be collected in one giant mansion. They will never age and always be around to party for eternity. 🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I heard that movie was made because of expiration of copyrights or something.. It is really frustrating to lose track of important documents. I know it's somewhere in these rooms but there is just too much stuff to go through. Another one is re-connecting with people long lost. It is either wonderful or bittersweet. Had a bittersweet one recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
