No One Cares Because Nothing Matters Anymore

[Deleted User 310]

We "could" and we "might" but it I doubt either is the most likely scenario.

Care to elaborate on why you feel that way? Or just disagreeing because it is lobster?

Quantitative easing is very complicated. I am not sure what i think will happen tbh. Inflation seems almost inevitable. Hyperinflation is more of an unknown.

Doesn't inflation always seem inevitable?

We're paying more for groceries than we were 6 months ago but we aren't paying double. And this has been one of the most fucked up years ever. What on earth would have to happen for it to "double or triple"?!?

He just throws out his generic scare tactic shtick like always with enough of a qualifier to not have his feet held to the fire for being wrong. Same old shit.

Gotcha. Just wondered if you had an economic theory about why you were disagreeing or just figuring he is usually wrong with his predictions. Sort of feels like the latter, which i totally understand.

I am not much of a gambler (other than golf), but i golf with a guy who is a bookie. We have another friend who is a serial gambler who the bookie says is wrong on 80% of his bets, so for the playoffs i have been texting the friend who is always wrong and then betting the opposite on fanduel sportsbook...and like clockwork i have been winning on about 80% of the games.
Thought i was going to miss on Toronto last night until the buzzer beater. LOL...he took clippers, but i felt that was actually a good 1 so I didn't go against him on that. Hit both single game bets and the 2 game parlay.

With the exception of very few on here, it's the latter.

How have we gone so long without bumping this thread

An NFL player likened it to not allowing professional athletes to bet on games.
I thought that was a good analogy.

Been meaning to bump this thread for a while now.

Without a better place for this one, why not here.

Dude says the quiet part out loud.

Would that be the/a definition of "smart money"?
Here is a little secret. In 2016 I decided to vote in the Republican Primary.
I did as such so I could/would vote AGAINST Donald Trump. I voted for Marco Rubio because if any Republican was going to win the Presidential Election I didn't want it to be Donald and I would have been ok (not great) if it was Marco.
You see how well that worked out for me.

It's smart money if it works and a waste of money if it doesn't, I suppose.

Shocker.



Divide and conquer.

It's not an attempt to divide, just an attempt to choose your opponent. Like an NFL/NBA team dropping their last regular season game of the year to draw a more favorable playoff opponent.

That's not exactly how I see it, but that's okay.

It's no surprise that some of the most appalling Pubs are funded by Dems.

Alex Jones, who talks a big tough game, is hiding his companies in bankruptcy court trying to avoid paying damages to Sandy Hook families. Yet another Republican coward running like a little punk when the consequences for their poor behavior come calling.

You wouldn't try to save yourself from being sued for up to $150,000,000?

[jhawks99]

I wouldn't spread lies about dead kindergarteners, but I'm glad you're here to defend that asshole.

[Deleted User 863]

I didn't defend anything he said. But strange to be mad that he tried to use bankruptcy to shield his business money from lawsuits. Of course he did.

[jhawks99]

You seem more concerned with his money than dead kids.

Good grief.
