Gotta understand prime rate =/= central bank rate. Like the web article says: "The China Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is the lending rate provided by commercial banks to their highest quality customers".
Interest rates to government entities in the form of bonds are always lower than the prime rates for business and individuals. Plus, you can't compare base yields between China and the US directly like that, China has been notorious for loose monetary policy to purposely undermine the US for decades now, not just with the recent moves to BRICS.
A proper win for silver will not be a temporary squeeze on the price and back to normal, it will be restoration to it's historical value as money, around 1:15-17 of a gold oz.
Slight aside, look up the Coinage Act of 1873, before that was passed, silver standard was the norm, not gold standard.
I 100% agree with what you said regarding the 3rd temple, and I'm heavily in the opinion that Israel in it's current state is not the Israel that we will see come end times, but things change when the current nation-state is sending military actors to rile things up domestically even further.
Not to say I'm taking this post at face value, but it's something to keep aware of, whether it's Israeli, European, or otherwise. Foreign interference in our domestic politics should always be a no go, no matter who.
Even if you assume that vaccines are 100% effective, that in and of itself is grounds for not needing vaccines. Think, if everyone who had a vaccine will never catch or transmit the disease, how will your daughter get a/the disease if 90+% of the population is vaccinated with the 100% effective vaccine? And if the vaccine isn't 100% effective, then it is a game of odds if your daughter is even protected in the first place.
Do be aware that under the current tax code, the price difference between the stock price and the sum of the cost basis and strike price is counted as income tax.
So if you bought and exercised a warrant today, ~54 dollars for DJT minus the combined 21.50 for 1 DJTWW plus 11.50 for the strike price would be ~21 dollars counted for the sake of income tax.
"paper"
Paper is the reason we are in this mess in the first place. If we can get rid of IOUs by Big Fed, and swap it out for a less than great Bitcoin, I still call that a win because that's stripping the power of money printing.
I am no fan of Bitcoin, not in it's current state, however endless money printing vastly, greatly outranks any issues with Bitcoin I have currently. End the endless.
I mean, it kinda would. Opening up the mind to lower forms of thoughts is going to open up to all forms of spiritual interferance, both 'demonic' and 'holy'. It's like opening up the city gates to let in an entourage of people, versus vetting people in one at a time. Lot of trust that the bad won't come in with the good.
Depends, most of the US' federal budget came from tariffs in and out of the country, and excise tax on alcohol, which paid for things like military.
Schools wise, most funding came privately, since public funded education didn't really exist.
Roads, streets, parks, ect came from a combination of the affluent and the States paying for contruction between high importance areas, which people also happened to live near. It was very rarely strictly a governmental venture pre-Progressive era.
Even in States with sales tax or income tax, added all together the overall tax rate was never near what we have today, with an effective tax rate of 40-50%, factored all together.
That implies that taxes aren't taken via the end of a gun barrel.
Besides, •Military: Bloated and wasteful •Schools: Bloated and wasteful •Roads and streets: Bloated, wasteful, and corrupt •Parks: Probably the least overtly wasteful of your examples, but let's not pretend open spaces for people to relax is somehow strictly a governmental problem to solve. •Among other things: This right here qualifies for the vast majority of the budget, and is by far and away the most disgusting and corrupt uses of our tax dollars.
If you were to stop all the bloated, wasted, corrupt spending, you could very easily get by on a small fraction of the cash.
Probably institute a "rainbow" standard with gold and silver, propose a constitutional ban on central banking and income taxation, and pay some level of restitution on previous personal ownership of US dollars, up to some nominal value.
Last one is the tricky part, because you can't just bankrupt the govt out of the gate by paying out the entirety of stockpiles of gold/silver, but it also can't be so little as to be a token gesture to the citizenship.
u/partly_asian-_- Tagging you too to let you know.
Yes, you can DRS warrants.
BTC, as in the actual listed security, really hasn't been in much of a healthy spot for many years. Between the recent push for "spot ETFs" (In the vain of SLV, where they use the underlying to control price movements), the intentional stagnation of L1 chain scaling (See Blockstream and their patented Lightning network), the increasing usage of chain analytics to scrub "bad actors" from the chain, and the push for smart contracts and the smart money paradigm (A way to force how and to whom you can spend your money), BTC is in a precarious spot that leaves the Satoshi vision of trustless, free, internet cash further in the dust.
This is not to say in the future, that all can't be fixed or rectified, but in it's current state I'm heavily of the opinion that BTC is a cabal captured asset. However, this isn't me saying that all crypto is bad and always bad, just that we need to be wary of the total circumstances of the market.
The society we live in has already established bodily autonomy is not absolute, hence drug usage is illegal, or suicide attempts are met with forced hospitilizations. If one can't kill oneself without risking forced medical intervention, or use drugs without running afoul of the law, why would abortion be in some vaulted, unquestionable status? After all, all 3 are my body, my choice.
If you want to argue historicality China is going to blow up under the weight of it's debt, and then fracture into a bunch of warlord states again.
