    Just a few % hurts them.

    So what 'hemp' stock is going to take off? Who has the crystal ball? There is bound to be a couple or several in the next 3-10 years. The next election will potentially be a tipping point for legalization shortly thereafter.

    this aims for dry gin but ends up sloe gin, like trying for Phillip Roth but giving us Stephen Colbert. 3/5 stars.

    China: all the volatility/ephemerality of 2014 digital economics, mixed with the post-WW I industrial moxie of the USA, plus a gigantic landscape on which to dump the unGreen externalities of industrial growth. the central planning shit is irrelevant, any culture that has so many millennia of history would say so and laugh at the preteen view of Americans who think 250 years is forever culturally.

    Culture, schmulture. You forget that Mao did an excellent job of killing off or driving into exile all the smart people in that country. What's left are loyal, greedy dogs.

    4matic - that amazon website fucking blows for ordering fasteners. like, in general, amazon fucking blows for ordering general-specific stuff (eg, you need a 10-32 something).
    likeaboss- they've a great selection and good pricing. but everytime I go in a retail store its empty. and sometimes they have persistance "moving" disorder that lasts for months. Or the register hasn't been fired up until they've been open for 3 hours. That makes me wonder about the business itself.

    same in any large human society, no matter what label its bosses or its peons put on the system, you pick a label, they'll show you a cruelty

    I've been using ace when I need a specific screw or fastener that I don't have. They have a surprisingly good selection of all different types of fasteners. Takes a few minutes longer than home depot or lowe's. But I can get what I need with dealing with people fucking around and get back to what I'm working on.

    i used to like ace but a bunch of ace's have been jacking up prices and decreasing units carried by not restocking "rare" things, ime (which is a short sighted move, imo).

    fastenal ends up being 20-30% of the price and indy's like Tacoma Screw ain't universal.

    Or wait until the next crash, buy cheap, and then you can afford a property manager and not have to deal with the day to day.

    Don't hold your breath for a housing price correction. There's a lot of influence on policy to prevent just that from happening. The modest savers hoping for a reasonable entry point don't exactly have a fiduciary to compete with the lobbying of the finance or housing industries.

    I don't have a Whole Foods, so I guess the answer would be no. And wtf is with the acronyms? Fossils don't use all this kids shit.

    I wasn't saying to get you advice, but just information. It's hard to find anything on these companies. I figured the brain trust in the place would have all the answers.

    Fuck Amazon and fuck fastenal too.

    I just listen to the music, I don't play the instrument. if you want to know whether to put your cashish in hemp, you'd better ask one of the resident butter churners.

    Back to the topic anyone following the Swiss referendum to require their currency be backed up by a 20% reserve of gold. Also require them to pull theirs out of the Fed.

    Nice to see them reverting to the ninteenth century now that their tax haven status has been harmed. That will end well.

    Fresh four year low on silver. No bounce off the low either. Stocks look higher.

    I expect you confused me with someone else. if not, the answer to you question is: when did your aim go so badly awry?

    they're probably going to back the other 80% reserve in bitcoin, so it balances out. why premise currency on something durable, that's 20th century dinosaur talk.

    Emerging markets put in a low. Likely outperform for a while unless dollar really takes off.

    No, I couldn't see it on my phone, but I just read it now, thanks.

    I'm not butthurt my friend. You still don't understand tgr sarcasm and that's just sad. You really need to get the fuck out of your fucktardville and go skiing or surfing before you implode.
