I found iodine on amazon. Not tablets mind you, it was a liquid. I added it to the trauma kit along with the emergency radio and the first aid book.
(I sound like a crazy prepper, but for the cost it's cheap to have insurance against whatever happens. Especially where the stuff could have another use in a non end of the world scenario)

But it's a contrarian view to another contrarian view.
The Fed will pivot once the numbers say the US economy appears to be in trouble. People think that'll happen because it's been the way things have worked since the Greenspan put back in the 1990s. It happened in the 1990s, it happened in 2001, it happened in 2008, it even happened during the taper tantrums of 2013 and the other taper tantrum of 2018, as well as the covid panic of 2020. Most investors are counting on it, which is why things aren't even more dramatically hurt than they have been.
Unemployment is a lagging indicator. By the time it's fully affected, the rest of the economy will also be a flaming dumpster fire and the fed will already be preparing to take extraordinary measures.

Seems to me like you're slicing a tiny minority view here. The majority consensus is that when the fed pivots US equities will shoot to the moon, and gold has been the red headed stepchild forever and realistically if the fed pivots I'd expect a lot of the money in it would shoot back into cryptos.
In the long terms, I think China has peaked or is close to it, but the US has a lot of room to grow in spite of its headwinds. If the fed keeps lowering rates, I'll wait until a recession is officially called and rush a bunch into US equities because by that point we're probably close to the bottom. Not all-in, but enough to see a nice gain over the next 15 years or so.
But that's just me.

so here's a thing....... We all run instances around here...... I know some of these instances are smaller than others......... but why would running an instance be something with millions of dollars in annual costs?
the amount of capital TS has, it should be able to run forever.

Funny how things change when the reality of their nimby policies becomes clear?
I've been saying for a long time that these so-called "green" policies are genocidal. Heating your home in winter isn't a luxury you should be made to feel bad about. Anyone saying it is and you should wants a looooot of people dead.

Managers are always the dumbest person in any room they're in.
They were dumb enough to take the job!

The nice thing is that you get what you ask for. If you follow a bunch of political guys, you get a bunch of politics. Follow a bunch of people who post memes, you get a bunch of memes. You don't have some weird algorithm figuring out the stuff that's going to piss you off and posting it to drive engagement.
But the other thing is, there's no weird hand of God putting their finger on the scale.

Am I the only one around here who is thankful not to be on big Tech and to be on the fediverse?
It just feels like the old internet again. And I loved the old internet.
