Seattle is trying to do the same thing, ostensibly to help students of color. Why not students of science and engineering?

That's why primarily I drink water, and unsweetened coffee or tea.
I drink maybe one soda a year, and I feel like crap everytime. Excep for those throwbacks with real cane sugar.

I bet the sales of soda at grocery stores just outside the city has skyrocketed

I like nerd girls.

Thank you for using the Thunderdome Service, sir!

Thank you for using the Thunderdome Service, sir!

I've thought about starting all my threads with Thunderdome.

When he starts waving his micro penis around instead of his tiny girly man hands, you will know the breaking point is nigh!

Trump is allowed to wear his wedding dress around Putin, but no underwear.

Putin likes the odor of crinoline while humping.

You can if you want.

You would suck Keynes' dick.

You are a blithering idiot, if you were not a landlord you wold be living on the streets.

I explained all of this to you over and over and over and over again and you still do not get it, you are a fucking moron.

Good Night Barney Fife.

Yeah, but BAD girls can be so doggone GOOD!

Notice how Trump's head is placed directly under the M on TIME, symbolizing the devil. Time often does this to anyone they hate.

Employees had done cocaine in the bathrooms during company retreats.

When Obama was elected, liberal media was celebrating him every day.

When Trump got elected, liberal media has been bashing him every minute of every day.

FortWayne says

When Obama was elected...

When Trump got elected...

Either everybody's out to get Trump for some arbitrary reason, or there's a good reason for it. I'm going with number 2. Trump wants you to believe it is because the media are controlled by corporate interests who are out to screw real Americans and he is a super hero sent to help all Americans.

That leaves a possible 46% of mental midgets still drunk on camel cum, rationalizing him and his merry band of fuckwit losers attempt to install their brand of sharia on this once great nation

Just when I thought iSquawk was starting to come around and make some sense...

SQAWK, Keynes is my gay lover.

QUACK, I'm the catcher.

I assume you're aware of diversification.

Diversification wasn't the reason cited in OP and from discussion.

coprophiliac

I just learned a new word today. At first I thought you made up a word for goatfucker, which I figured should be copuphiliac. But, lo and behold, coprophiliac means: Noun. coprophiliac (plural coprophiliacs) someone with a marked interest in excrement, especially the use of feces or filth for sexual excitement.

Singlemom says

Why? Because the USD is going to ZERO. Yes, I said it.

At 2% inflation a year it is indeed going to 0 and it doesn't mean gold is the best investment.

We may be in the early stages of a dollar bull market that will last a couple years.

The euro may implode soon.

You asked why one was better, you were answered. Take the response, or keep believing your diversified because your papers all have different colors.

Stupid woman. She should have done her homework first. She must have learnt pretty quick that in Islam:
Women are inferior
Gays are supposed to be killed.

$20,000,000,000,000 in debt and climbing . We are past the point of NO RETURN. Rates have to go up. It will become a vicious cycle with the government paying more and more in interest payments which will require more borrowing (because no one will touch entitlements) which will raise the debt which will raise the payments which will require more borrowing which will raise the debt ...

$2.46T is the Fed's:

and they'll just sit on that now I guess

Intra-government holdings are $5.4T:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=cPP0

so ~$12T is lot less scarier than $20T, yes?

The Fed flushed so much new money into the system since 2009 that yields have fallen and can't get up.

>It will become a vicious cycle with the government paying more and more in interest payments

To WHOM? You've really got to follow the money here.

NuttBoxer says

Regardless of historical ratio, silver will be going up faster than gold in the next move. The ratio has been between 67 and 73 forever(last two years approx). It will go down to somewhere in the area of 30/1

OK, does it seem like a good move to buy silver now? Feel free to chime in, I won't hold you responsible if it doesn't work out.

Physical silver with delivery, or some kind of paper?

Gees who would have guessed that AF is bleeding Liberal

Fair enough, OTOH there is a huge backlog under 8 years of Obama allowing criminal immigrants to leech off of social services.

Is AF for real?

He has a point as the PCA keeps the Fed from expanding their abuses of the states rights.

OTOH there is a backlog of abuses because of Obama.

a lot of bad investment advice in here.

owning precious metals is only better than leaving money in a saving account.

His fans on here seem to like it. Go figure. Clearly, they're capable of being apologists for anything and everything he does even when it's clearly the sort of un-American action they would go ballistic about if someone else did it.

As Spicer himself said, open media is “what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship.” Presumably that's why he thought it was a good idea to go along with the ban.

Well he had all press people in the getogether so I don't see a ban. I see segments of the press in the meeting on a rotating basis. It wasn't clinton news networks turn and when they realized they were not the fountain from which all news flows they shit their pants right on the pergo...

That must be why so many of the major news organisations are protesting the action...

How many outlets were there, and how many were banned?

BayArea says

How many outlets were there, and how many were banned?

Why not just read one/some of the many news reports on it? That'll tell you that Breitbart got access whilst the NYT, LA Times, CNN and the BBC, amongst others, did not. AP and Time boycotted in protest, and the WHCA protested against a clear breach of media coverage protocol. It was clearly a petulant action from the administration, and a disturbing measure in a democracy.

rando says

If you think the gold/silver ratio is high, buy silver, short gold.

I'm curious what funds/etfs you guys buy when you invest in gold?

POSSE COMITATUS ACT

That's the act that allows the president to "commit acts of grabbing pussy", hence posse grabby comitatus act.
