Have you ever ridden a Tiger?
Fort Benning has a Tiger tank, had no idea they let people ride in it.
As an analogy, I cherish IU's national championship in football. Giving attention to the fact that we suffered decades of futility is not conducting an irrelevant sideshow. It provides context and deepens the appreciation for having achieved what we have now (finally) achieved.
Keep history alive. It need not be cleansed for greater palatability.
Here's a key comparison. Holocaust remembrance is emphasized in public education throughout Germany. As part of the curriculum, students visit one of the concentration camps that are now Holocaust remembrance sites.
The Germans have self-flagellated themselves into mediocrity.
Your prescription is inane.

The German economy is one of the strongest in the world. Their society is safer than most contemporaries. Hell, they have a lower homicide rate than Iceland, ferggodssake. How are they mediocre?

Unfortunately quite true.
Representative government is history in Germany..it's a disaster.
I'd settle fo 2 candiates that acted like they had a functioning brain in the next election. We've not had that for a while.I agree—things will be clearer once he’s finally gone. He’s dominated the spotlight for over a decade, sucking up all the oxygen, and plenty of people are rightly tired of it.
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who know binary and those who don't.
I have never seen our country so divided about truly fundamental issues. We have a socialist in charge of our largest city.
And this division appears to be equal, which when the beliefs are so polar is not a good thing.
People have Trump Derangement Syndrome. This isn’t a troll or hyperbole it’s fact. It colors how we see things. It is my hope that when he is out of office we get a bit of a reset. I think thereafter we’ll better be able to gauge where things stand.

Some of his voters insist on ignoring his behavior and focusing solely on policies. In theory, that’s noble—but it’s out of touch with political reality. In practice, the messenger often matters as much as—or more than—the message, especially when you’re asking for public buy-in, writ large.
I disagree. Women need to course correct in order for all the crazy sh#t to die down. I think it will be 10+ years before that happens. Liberal women have become very radicalized in comparison to everyone else.

Germany’s unemployment rate is at a 12 year high. They are struggling economically
International equities have outperformed US equities by over double over the last year.
That's what you get for having a piece of shit protectionist President. And it's just the beginning for the pain to come on the path we are down.
Get ready to get a lot poorer. Idiocracy is in full effect. The pain that's about to rain down on a dumbass Trump voters is just starting. They will look at nominal GDP numbers, pretend they are winning, while the USD falls so hard they won't understand why they can't afford to buy anything like they used to.
How could a generation who inherited so many accomplishments, inherited so much wealth, and inherited a sound and functioning Congress and government squander and fuck it up in such a short time?
They didn't squander anything. The U.S. stock market is extremely overvalued when compared to long term averages. Not to mention it was still up 17% on the year. At this point a couple of years of low growth or gasp no growth would be beneficial. How much money do we want to shovel to the top 1% of society before it destabilizes society? And how big do we want the bubble to get?
By the way this is one of the big reasons why gold and silver caught a bid finally in my opinion. Money has to go somewhere. Markets are drastically overvalued compared to long term averages and countries are swimming in debt. It makes sound money (metals) very attractive. I of course picked Bitcoin, which has made this year very annoying, but I think we'll catch a bid here at some point and have our fun as well.
In Q3 or Q4 of 2023, on the old board, I advised you and everyone on that board to get into metals.
The roi on gold and silver since then is quite encouraging.
I invested in 12 tranches, and the cost averaged spot market was:
$1,988 toz gold,
<$25.00 toz silver
Gold spot topped $5,500 toz this morning.
Silver spot topped $121.00 toz this morning.
$10k invested in 400toz silver in June of '23, using $25.00 cost yields today $48, 400.
$10k invested in 5toz gold in June of '23 using
$1988 cost yields $ 27,500 today spot.
$55,900 in 32 months...
Hopefully, you took profits. Silver didn't disappoint again and gold trading like a meme stock. I'll stick to my boring much less volatile Bitcoin 😁🤣😁🤣 All joking aside it's been a great trade. Congrats.
