gold is 100% speculation.

1200 is a good level to buy. Maybe it gets down to 11-251150 if 10 years go to 3%. I don't think the world can handle US rates above 3%, not when oil can't stay above 50.

go there if you want some free suicide bombings to go with your morning coffee.

Legal refugees, that Starbucks wants to help ... yeah, that sounds like something someone should oppose. (eye roll)

And really you hurt the 8,000+ vets (and counting) Starbucks already hired, but do what you feel is right.

I think it is xenophobic dip-shittery. To each their own.

Yup! These people seem to think Trump got elected because Putin hacked the election. Trump really doesn't have the majority electorial vote.

Oh for crying out loud! LOL

Trump won the electoral college ... much to his, the world, the nations, and his campaigns surprise. There is enough smoke in Russian ties, and enough undisclosed information from Trump, to warrant an independent investigation.

That's all.

You know, Obama's justice department interrogated the hell out of Hillary for far less. Obama DID that.

The rest is just deliciously embarrassing, like this little gem ...

Call it fake news. Come on ... let me hear it ... (holds hand up to ear)

In response to Starbucks' rapefugee hiring plan, consumers who supported President Trump launched a boycott of the chain.

And just like my new news subscriptions, my donations to PP and the ACLU, I've upped my Starbucks activity even more.

Tell me what you hate Trumpthuglicans. I'll happily go support it.

PS logistically you could sell USD/MXN buy USD/CAD if you are looking to speculate.
Both should follow natural correlation patterns. More ramble.

Starbucks is already over 8,000 vets in recent hiring push they made. They have way more than that company wide.

Training for a surprised expression? (Guess)

Half the US and Australia no more. :(

Florida is projected to be underwater anyway. Har-har.

As a shareholder I'm ticked off they got into politics.

$2.50 for a cup of 0.05 c coffee. Isnt this anti progressive price gouging?

Your all democrats if you support this!

I thought if they had anime and robot costplay, this was plastic blow up doll costplay.

Wogster, how does Chile dodge that so well?

- coastal effect
- are they relatively dry heat as well? (Larger capacity for wet bulb cooling?)

I'm thinking this is how California manages to squeak by. There have been a few darn right sticky tropical days in San Jose the past couple years though.

Are California and Chile both mostly higher elevations?
Because mountains

When companies says this, they usually don't seek to actively hire vets. They hire normally and a portion will be veterans. When HR tallies those with a military record arriving at 10,000, they declare "We hired the Vets we promised".

(I suspect this may be the case with refugees)

And they don't even put the cream or sugar in it for you. It's like paying $2.50 for self-serve gasoline when the place across the street has full-service for $1.35/gallon.

Dunkies kicks Starbucks' ass.

FortWayne, I agree.

I'm pretty pissed about Citizens United in general as well, but if Trump manages to allow religious institutions the same direct donations power, well ... Companies may be the only counterbalance of opposition there.

Fake news

FortWayne Unabridged Dictionary

Fake news (n) - Real news that discredits my political agenda. For example, climate data independently confirmed by hundreds of organizations around the world is fake news if that data demonstrates that man-made climate change is going to kill people because public acceptance of that fact would cause a lack of support for my selfish political interests. See also facts.

Fact (n) - Something to be avoided at all times when discussing politics because facts cannot be controlled. Instead, convince the audience to accept a delusion over facts. Delusions can be shaped to support whatever political agenda you have. Facts are stubbornly resistant to change and have a liberal bias.

Liberal (adj) - Communism, socialism, progressiveness, Nazism, witchcraft. Some dictionaries list these terms as having different definitions, but I don't understand the difference, so I'll just lump them all together. All I know is that I hate liberals, and I blame them for every problem I create.

Jesus Christ (proper noun) - Founding father of the United States of America; author of the Constitution; card-carrying NRA member. He hates fags and is very much in favor of torturing those who deserve it. Also, he's in favor of capital punishment having first hand experience in that.

Donald Trump (proper noun) - Second coming of Jesus Christ, just with smaller hands. Smaller hands makes it easier to grab pussy.

That new Twitter hashtag was born after Starbucks Chief Executive Howard Schultz said he would hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years in the 75 countries where Starbucks operates.

I wonder how the women in Saudi feel about that?

Wont have an impact on Saudi Arabia. They don't allow refugees into their country.

Why does that barber have a headlamp?

A bomb could explode right next to you, and you still won't wake up.

That's odd because I've been to tropical countries where the temp is usually 95+ with tons of humidity and although it's not comfortable for a white boy like me, I saw the locals doing just fine. The older people were even wearing sweaters! I am just not buying this story. I did see that some desert portions of India got to 130F last summer and killed livestock and people. That seems quite likely at those temps! But 95F killing mass people? Nah.

Run for your lives there's a Photo Shop file on the lose!!!
Grab women and children first, Oh the horror!

It works because Asian women don't get Smile lines until they are in their 70's.
The only scam here is convincing Asian women they need it in the first place.

Most heatstroke in this country occurs in cities. Seems replacing trees and grass with skyscrapers and asphalt does not a cooler earth create. Yet GW alarmists never mention this.

I guess real problems that affect people, right now, aren't really their bag...

We rarely ever get high humidity in Los Angeles.... Dry desert heat I can handle... Especially while floating in my now overflowing backyard pool due to all this rain this past winter!

Charts based on fake data to support lies that have already been thoroughly debunked.

Some dishonest people go way out of their way to persuade the public of lies. These people should not be respected. The have evil, despicable intentions, and they don't care who gets hurt, who dies, and who becomes homeless as a result of their greedy, short-sighted political agendas.

Climate change is real. It's man-made. It's dangerous. It kills. It destroys trillions of dollars of real estate. And it's fucking bad for the economy, too. Short-sighted greed is not a good economic strategy.

Nature taking the trash out. Time to add mines and machine guns to the wall.

Hater says

So do you have a chart that shows the "REAL" temp history?

Yes, but you don't care. Facts contradict your lies and so they don't matter to you. I can present the evidence to you, but no matter what it is, you will reject it because it demonstrates you are lying.

Nonetheless, for other people, I will present the real evidence.

And, of course, this is due largely, but not entirely, to CO2 pollution from burning fossil fuels.

This is real evidence from credible sources, and that evidence is independently confirmed by scientists around the world. Yet, this will not at all persuade you because you don't care about the truth. You are perfectly OK with lying to get to screw over other people for your own selfish interests. This makes you a bad person that no one should respect or listen to.

Science works. Politics and religion does not. You don't get to accuse those using scientific evidence as being "religious". That's you and you're a hypocrite.

Right - I saw another upgrade too a few days ago

I am surprised there is that much profit taking on something that pays 8% - not easy to come by that dividend these days

Ironman says

Those are just a few days we had 95 degree days with 100% humidity..

But not at the same time. The highest relative humidity is usually first thing in the morning when the air is the coolest and it drops as the air temperature increases, so the humidity might have been near 100% earlier in the day but was most likely much lower once the temperature reached 95 degrees.

Hater says

Do you have a temp graph to back up your talk?

You know I do. You marked the evidence as an ad hominem in order to suppress it. Guess what? That's not going to work.

Also, @Patrick, time to remove Hater's ability to mark as ad hom.

Censoring posts with false ad-hom reports is, by definition, trolling. It should be a bannable offense.
