  1. RE: Weapons Inspector Refutes U.S. Syria Chemical Claims

    I don’t question that Syria is a mess, with too many external factions with differing agendas working to pull it apart. But I give no credibility to a serial child sex offender with an obvious agenda of his own.

  2. He never misses an opportunity to some how dis gold or crypto….funny thing though…..all those guys getting bailed out in 2008 from career ending type of losses and the inequality fostered by QE …..is not as immoral? I guess we have to “just suck it up” that they’re in control, eh?

    Munger Massacres “Scumbag, Immoral” Bitcoin Traders, Gates “Would Short It” If He Could

    It’s “anti-social, stupid and immoral,” he said.

    “Immoral?” asked the interviewer.

    “Suppose you could make a lot of money trading freshly harvested baby brains. Would you do it?” Munger asked.

    “To me bitcoin is almost as bad.”

    And finally Munger concluded…

    “I regard the whole thing as a combination of dementia and immorality. I think the people pushing it are a disgrace. There ought to be some things that are beneath you, that you just don’t do, and this is one.”
