@Krob_LBC @andrz3jc @General_Oluchi OK, I get that. My point was that we should with caution approach the notion that he knows anything useful about this subject. Perhaps he does, but he offers no warrants in support of his assertions.

A weird thing about all this is that we have a straight-up medieval guild which - during a damned doctor shortage - determines precisely how many docs there will be.
You can complete medical school, in cumulative good standing, and simply not even get a job OFFER. Changing this system would do a great deal to relax domestic/foreign hostilities in this field.

Robert Mueller did more to destroy public confidence in the rule of law and the concept of equal justice under the law than any other unelected American in our long history.
He was America's Roland Freisler.
His legacy is one of corruption, wanton destruction, and abject abuse of the levers of judicial power.
I do not celebrate his demise. But I do celebrate history properly holding him to account for his crimes and misdeeds.

How would he know? He lost his clearance.

Former CIA Director John Brennan drops a massive reality check. He confirms there was absolutely ZERO intelligence of an imminent threat from Iran to justify the bombing campaign. He says the administration is lying fast and furiously to cover it up.

In 1870, a German chemist named Erich von Wolf was analysing the iron content of various vegetables.
He made a decimal point error.
He recorded spinach as containing 35mg of iron per 100g. The correct figure was 3.5mg. The misplaced decimal sat in the nutritional literature for decades, entirely unchallenged, because nobody particularly felt like re-testing spinach.
In 1929, the Popeye comic strip launched. The creators cited the iron content of spinach as the scientific basis for their character's powers. By this point, the decimal point error was already sixty years old and fully embedded in received nutritional wisdom.
The error was identified and corrected in 1937. The correction was not issued with anything approaching the cultural reach of the original claim.
Popeye continued punching things.
The actual iron content of spinach, 3.5mg per 100g, roughly where it was always supposed to be, is further complicated by the fact that spinach is among the highest-oxalate vegetables known.
Oxalates bind to iron and calcium in the gut and remove them before absorption. The iron in spinach absorbs at around 1–2%, compared to 15–35% for haem iron from red meat. You would need to eat roughly a kilogram of spinach to absorb the iron equivalent of a 100g beef steak.
There is also the kidney stone question. Spinach contains around 970mg of oxalates per 100g: one of the densest plant sources. Chronic high spinach consumption, particularly raw in daily smoothies, is a documented pathway to calcium oxalate kidney stones.
The smoothie industry has not issued a correction.
Popeye is still a sailor.

@andrz3jc @General_Oluchi Let's pause for a moment and remind ourselves that this guy is a comedian, not a businessman, entrepreneur, investor, or economist.
So there's that.

@Dianaizard1019 @andrz3jc @General_Oluchi No. The stocks are not a fraud. They are a tangible asset. The tax on unrealized gains is a fraud.

@andrz3jc @General_Oluchi So the stocks are a fraud also because you don't get tax as long you don't sell them hmmm 🤔

Which is a way that the state has invented to steal from people who were industrious enough or smart enough to accrue considerable wealth that the state played no role in creating.
"You could have made this profit IF you had sold your assets at peak market value, but you didn't, and we don't care. You'll just have to pay the tax as if you had sold it, we'll get that money, but you won't have your share of the liquidity because you actually didn't sell."

@andrz3jc @General_Oluchi The Netherlands recently announced that unrealized capital gains will be taxed.

⚠️ Two nurses in Tehran who treated wounded protesters were arrested by Islamic regime terrorists and gang-raped in custody.
One 33-year-old nurse was repeatedly raped for days. Her injuries were so severe that doctors had to remove part of her intestine, leaving her with a permanent colostomy bag. Her uterus was torn and may still have to be removed after multiple surgeries. Before surgery, she reportedly begged doctors not to save her life.
The second nurse suffered similar abuse - gang-raped, her intestine severely damaged and her uterus completely removed.
Hell is not enough for these monsters.

@TRobinsonNewEra She should demand that the person who felt offended should apologize to her. She had no right to be offended. Where can it be found in English Common Law that anyone is exempt from feeling offended?
Hmmm. Let me check Blackstone's Commentaries. I have a copy.
Nope. Not there.
