News: How Steel Tariffs Create Jobs

We're the last of the meateaters!

 

Bitcoin, dude.

 

Question: The 6 Oz of animal consumption includes insects? I mean, they're animals.

 

Don't knock it till ya cricket

 

I posed the same question to him. Scientifically insects are animals. Culturally (and in the food industry, which calls the shots) insects are not animals.

His take is that people aren’t going to accept insects as animals. But people are willing to eat stuff they deem gross” if it isn’t recognizable. Like insects in candy shell enamel, bones in gelatin, etc.

Grind up crickets and put them in all sorts of stuff. Salads, flour, whatever. By mass, they’re a better source of complete protein than any meat.

 

I resumed eating meat a couple years back. I've lost 7 inches of my waist, lowered my blood pressure, lifted other numbers that needed to be lifted, and was able to add muscle via weight training, which hadn't happened on previous attempts. I also eat considerable more vegetables, too, having dropped most grains not made into beer. Nearly all of it is grass fed and free range from a farmer whose family has been in on the same land since the early days of the republic.

No disrespect for vegetarians, but it didn't work for me.

 

Tariffs will be paid by Ghyna:

It has never stopped. Sept 22 this year, I think.

Americans are so far behind in the trend:

*Full Disclosure: Dr and Mrs Wankler receive a quarterly dividend check of a little over $800, having inherited the shares from his mother, who inherited four times that number from her mother, who had the stock because her husband bought shares shortly after the company was founded.

 

That’s because eating insects isn’t a “trend” in most of the world that isn’t “European”, Muslim, or Hindu.

 

And it is a pretty good one usually, only has been "wrong" once in 50 years.

If you look at the time spreads, we are basically do. Tariffs or no tariffs.

We could make the argument, that the trade war may help democrats, since perhaps it may help move the recession into before the election compared to after the elections if the trade war never happened.

If you are a Democrat, you are praying for it to happen sooner than later, if it happens in 2019-2020 Trump will take the full blame.

If it were to be delayed until 2021, and a Democrat wins, then he/she would unfairly get the blame for a natural economic occurrence.

 

But when it becomes a trend, American foodies will make the price of insects out of reach for the poor.

 

Last time the locusts were out in Illinois, my brother cooked up a bunch of them. Stir fried, they're pretty good.

If I memory serves, they're due in another year or two.

 

I know what you meant here. But it’s still hilarious.

 

Shows what I know

 

Thanks. Do you think bonds are better than a savings account?

 

Buy Gold

 

At the gym, there's an ad for gold on one of the cable news channels nearly every time I glance at the TV banks. Doesn't matter if it's Fox, CNN, CNBC, or ... wait, now that I think of it, I haven't seen one on MSNBC, but I won't be shocked when I do.

 

Reverse mortgages, 9/11 victims and Roundup lawsuit commercials are all the rage around here. In Colorado it was "were you hurt in a car or motorcycle accident?"

 

I'd say it's too late. The stock market's been headed down for the last month with yesterday being the culmination. You don't want to sell low.
Of course if the money in stocks is money you are going to need soon (next 2-5 years) you probably should sell and should not be much in stocks anyway.
