It's about us, not you.

Quote:Martin Schluz is obviously an arrogant asshole in dire need of an attitude adjustment.  I say let the dynamite sticks fly.  That attitude is pretty darn pervasive.

One statement does not indicate what the rules of the EU are.

Quote:Obviously, I again beg to differ.  The EU has gone on longer that its past due date.

The United States has gone on much further past IT'S due date then.

Quote:We'll just agree to disagree on Hillary. My vote goes for Jill Stein and I don't want any more details, my mind is made up.

These discussions are for anyone who reads them. I'm just fine with a vote for Stein (hey that rhymes; that's divine).

Quote:OK, we'll just agree to disagree on whether the DNC runs itself in a "proper manner".

Well, I don't agree about the primary 2016 election, but I don't have a choice about what you think.

Quote:That's not the purpose. The purpose is to rid myself of being pissed off.

There are better ways, but if investing in whoever wins helps mollify you, well that's your choice. Good luck with it.

Quote:I thought you said something about Saturn's return and how it messes up folks who are I think 55 to I think 60 political careers. 

Everyone has a Saturn return at about age 58 to 59, yes. You are not there yet as I recall. But coming soon for you, I guess!

Here's a nice article on it, from Huffington Post no less:

Certainly presidential politicians have a lot of "karma" to face, and they often live according to others' expectations. So the second Saturn Return can be expected to hit them hard, and it almost always does. I suppose in my lifetime LBJ and Nixon were exhibits A and B.

You are the same birth cohort as Chris Christie. I predicted that he was clear of the Saturn Return for this upcoming term (though his horoscope score was not good enough to beat Trump), but that he could not be re-elected. So it's the next term in which Saturn will hit you guys. (So, even if Trump chooses him as his veep candidate, Christie will not be elected president if he runs in 2020).

I can certainly testify personally to the dangers.

Quote:That may be one reason.  I just think political decisions are more multi faceted than melanin content. Globalization and the fallout of job losses, elected officials being bought off, and financial engineering would be other issues.

Probably it's the Leave politicians who are bought off by greedy British businessmen who don't want regulations, as much as European Union bureaucrats who want control.

Quote:Yes, there is another place for them to go:

The point is not that; the point is they (neo-cons) voting for Hillary does not make Hillary a neo-con.

Quote:1. Do you think they should be screened before entry?
2. Merkel was dumb in saying "just come".
3. I mean, really, even my Swedish ancestors got processed before being just let in. I have photo copies of their immigration documents.

1. To the US, yes; and it happens already. Trump's rumblings are superfluous nonsense to get votes.
2. For Europe, it was the compassionate thing to do. Refugees need places to go rather than die in the ocean.

Quote:LOL!  I think I found Eric's soapbox.  So, why do you grab soapboxes?

I don't know what it is. I am just amazed at how stupidly people have voted, and how stupid the people are whom the people elect. And how consistently stupid one whole political party is, as opposed to sometimes stupid the other one is.

And how people seem to let that slide, as if it's getting on a soapbox or being some kind of impolite or culture war boomer or one-sided or whatever term is used to cover up and evade the obvious fact and the obvious remedy. Call it what you want; doesn't change the obvious facts.

How stupid the people are, really boggles my mind. What planet do I live on?

OK, so why is Sun Trust being an ass and asking current workers to train their replacements?

Btw,  Sun Trust is in dire need of a bank run.  Companies that do that deserve a chapter 7 collapse.

That's outsourcing. I don't like that either, but that's not bringing workers here on visas.

It depends on whether the EU has been bought and paid for and thus serves this up to its masters.

I assume that if Europeans don't want the deal, it won't happen. At least I would think and hope so. They have successfully opposed GMOs entering Europe, for example; I know that. So the people there have some say.

Quote:OK, best of luck with your exams, as they would say in The Village. I note, though, that the reports I saw about indexed funds being the best are very recent, 4T-era reports.

? . I didn't know a fitness club had exams.
