1,400 more. Yeah. Why is at an almost 80 percent favorable rate?

The Pharms will make their money and stock people will be happy. What is man created for power and wealth and what is media bullshit. I will enjoy this 600 hundred.
At the same time globalism and the main goal of an overpopulated world and wiping out large masses of them will go on. Corona is nothing. More like a warning signal.
If you think this was naturally caused you are an idiot. It is a preview.

If you don't have a pressing need, buy a 1/2 oz Platinum Eagle coin like a good patriot, HODL, and spend the remaining 30 bucks on hookers & cocaine.

That would be splendid. Will it happen, no, but have to go with Trump and 2 grand would be great. But can change it with his presidential powers. No. Just with this next wave of covid, not getting the shot, so tired of the bullshit parade.
Mitch. Fuck off. Nothing like that southern drawl of bullshit. Hope Georgia get the Senate. Look at his life, like Fogerty am no Senators son. And who does he care about. Look into to, really. For those that care to, just a frog pupput.

2 grand would be better. Just a ploy though by gold face and life man. 600 hundred is a slap in the face to the American people!
Would happily accept 2k into my account. Trusting in the Baltimore Ravens to make up the difference in reality. Gambling man.

Worst was long ago being a graveyard waiter at Denny's and some teens just left 20 some pennies stacked up. Fucking Denny's, what a waste of time. Felt good at a different time taking all these fucking pennies, why do they even have them anymore and why did I even take it?
Service was good, they were just poor. I think that is why when I get enough pennies I just throw like 30 of them in the street. That and my late Grandmother lived during the depression and could never stop to pick up a penny with the dumb saying "see a penny pick it up "when they actually had value. Felt like littering so I don't do that anymore.
Was cool though having a beautiful woman staying at a nearby motel with her friend putting her hotel key on the table. Strange things go on at Denny's at night.

Wow, thought it was set it stone.
"House Democrats said they plan to offer a bill for $2,000 stimulus checks this Thursday, and will attempt to pass it via unanimous consent since no one will be on the floor to vote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday night tweeted in support of the $2,000 checks, writing, "Let's do it!"
Please do. Not because I need it like those making 75 grand a year, just it would be fun to have as play money. Is all I look at is. Cut the "Defense spending". Why don't they refer to it as offensive spending and imperialism/globalism? 52 percent goes to the military each year of the GNP here.
This will be interesting how it turns out.

House dems passed a 2k bill six months ago. Senate republicans refused to vote on it.
This is Trump stirring the pot, except Moscow Mitch is ending up in the frying pan this time.
If I'm being honest, I doubt 2k will pass. I expect a veto override from the senate on the 600$, so that Mitch and the republicans can continue his "do nothing dems" campaign stump speech when the house brings up 2k next time. Of course, he's trying to time it right for the GA runoffs, and I'll be honest, I'm not sure how he's gonna pull it off. He might even fold and hand out the 2k if he manages to convince Trump to make it a republican Jesus thing.
Sorry about the politics, but it seems everything is political nowadays. Got any mods willing to kick this over to the politics forum?

Well put. Did my research an you sir are correct. And fuck the arrogant and cocky southeren "gentleman" of wealth and privilage turtle man.
And yes Trump doesn't give a fuck. Pardon away. Researching it yes, no 2k. Or 600 but how the rich love to revel in their power and man made garbage and control of the masses.

Well it appears the joke is on you:
Price of a 1/2oz platinum eagle 13 days ago when I suggested it: $570
Price of a 1/2oz platinum eagle today, less than 2 weeks later: $628
Profit not had for deriding Asantes investment advice: $58 on the coin = +10% + those $30

Its basically not about the eagle, but Platinum Eagles are a way to invest in the precious metal platinum, to hold the actual metal.
That its a platinum eagle means the US Mint guarantees its the correct amount and purity of the metal - its not numismatic (rarity value) but a bullion coin (defined by the value of the metal its made of)
Platinum is historically undervalued towards gold and palladium.
Silver is undervalued too but the market is quite manipulated and there is so much of it.
Platinum is VERY rare more so than gold, and has practical uses such as in catalyzing chemical processes and in electronics components.
If I hadnt done so much charity lately I would have bought two ounces of platinum for them and they would have already considerably increased in value.
If you have enough stamina to just sit on that coin, you might get one. People are increasingly safeguarding their capital so things like cryptos and precious metals will be going up, especially an undervalued one like Platinum.
Cryptos can fart into nothingness though, while that will NEVER happen with platinum. Right now you can get it close to at cost of mining it, so it has little downward leeway, and it used to be twice as expensive as gold but now is only halfway the price of gold.

Makes sense. I think a lot of people get that. Why when one subscribes, is silver, gold, and platinum.
I get it like many do to a point, I don't want to write a lot about it. Assume the worst, hope the best. But yes, nothing beats it. Have done research on it and what is used for.
I just don't believe in a long term future and why fresh water is one of the highest priced commodities. Because people need it to live.

ive been looking at platinum jewelry on eBay; but it is trading at almost TWICE the price of melt; whereas 14k or 18k gold is selling for market rates. Where are you finding platinum for spot price? I literally can't find it for less than 50/g

C'mon 1,400. That I would enjoy and would be useful. Thanks Dems if it passes which I think it will. And not on gambling and entertainment. What little entertainment is available during the year of Covid.
Have my own finances for that but everything, the new normal, sucks. It is not fun or enjoyable. Naw, will use this towards a 150cc scooter. Think it is ridiculous that if passed or like the 600 hundred to those that make 75k a year, as of course that is the ceiling. What would it matter to them?

Is amusing. People want 2k instead of 1,400 in addition to the $600 they already recieved. Many think and want, researching it, they will get 2k on top of the $600. Makes me laugh.
Greed is a horrible feeling, never enough. That big sucking non-realized soul sucking feeling that can never be filled.
I am happy with my life. I have chosen in my life to just leave my apartment and live on the streets. Wouldn't recommend it but I learned. Wisdom is more valuable then just saying fuck it and leaving everything behind though one does learn quite a bit. Long time ago. And my apartment isn't cheap and well secured.
So, 1,400. A-OK. Everywhere in the world is depressing to me right now. Plus, with my finances now I look at my apartment more as a home base at an airport hub city.
Been here for over four years but with long vacations and travel, kind of like a storage and entertainment center and am a nature freak. PCT, long hikes and camping. I need that in my life to stay sane. Plus pick out a city to visit to see a sports game or theatre production like the one South Park put on. Never said I was classy but that was fun I must admit.
So on with 2021. Next week and the rest of the year should be interesting. We only get so many Summers in a lifetime and I hope it is not two wasted with all the entertainment one could want electronically, but that shit gets boring really quick.

Like I have written before, I am College educated but when I get on the Shroomery or this fun stand up comedy game with my gaming headphones, I am at least half way deep in the drugs/alcohol I am using.
I type really fast and have to redo a lot of posts right after I post them to make some common, understandable logic to it. I am so fucking bored of Covid and lack of travel. There are so many things I miss in life but on with it so am hitting it harder then normal. It is not great to be really fucked up within reason in public but on the internet, not a problem.
It is 8 a.m. here and just getting started on NFL playoff day and my substances so, coherence. But thanks for the compliment. Enjoy your Sunday.

"Biden could find opposition for another round of payments, however. Some in Congress, including Democratic Sen. Joe Machin, have said the stimulus checks should be targeted to those most in need. "It's time now to target where the money goes," Manchin said on CNN's State of the Union on Jan. 10."
Hope that is the way it goes reading the news this morning.

True that, my sister spent time in the year pre-pandemic helping a local pastor and community leaders in a rural area of Zimbabwe setup a "Life Skills School" for underserved children who can now obtain preliminary learning and a decent meal each day. The main teacher at this school is paid $50 a month, a secondary assistant gets $30 a month and the cook/cleaner gets $25 a month. It is remarkable how much impact a seemingly insignificant amount of money can make in some areas. This supports upwards of thirty children who suffer from food insecurity, some of whom have been able to move on to be accepted in higher tier schools, schools that they wouldn't have dreamed of being able to attend prior to implementing the program at the Life Skills School.

We often forget that so much of the world is so much worse off. I'm very enthusiastic that my brother and his wife, who've been stationed in Nigeria were touched by Africa and now are in the process of setting up a charity that intends to supply school books & educational necessities to African schools in dire need of exactly that - so the kids can make the most of what education they can get.
If you drop a little money and a little effort in the right place in Africa, you can get so much done, especially in exactly the areas that are most in need of it.
A charity I work with offers a service, that for 25 bucks, 4 fruit trees are planted on the grounds of rural orphanages and schools, which results in these places getting hundreds to thousands of pounds of fruits for the children, children exactly in need of that for growth and development of cognition.
Reforestation with fruit trees results in the trees attracting rain and improve soil moisture retention, storing water as fruits.
The fruits can be partially sold on the market, as can mini trees grown from seeds of the fruits. It spreads out.
If you think about it, a jackfruit tree rapidly grows to yield 200-300 fruits of 10-40lbs a year, producing an abundance of seeds that not just are edible and nutritious but readily germinate. That tree in particular is suitable for tackling world hunger, because it vert rapidly grows to up to 100 ft tall, its roots deep enough to reach the aquifers.
So in essence, they are self propagating solar powered production units of tons of fruit a year, drilling their own well towards the ground water.
Mother nature is awesome, we know this from the glorious mushroom, where:
2 spores + 1 handful of grain --> 1 handful of shrooms + 2 million spores
but a tree yielding more than a ton of jackfruit a year, thats quite something too!

A little can go a long way in the poorest developing nations, where often people make less than $2 a day.

Considering you can feed a US family with it for a month, you have a loose definition of what "is not that much".
Guess what, $100,000 is not that much either considering how fast you can spend it.
