A more interesting argument was made by the "inventor" of index funds - Bogle (paraphrased) [1]:

Companies are no longer "owned" by people who feel ownership in the company (with some few exceptions) - they are "owned" by funds and therefore by "managers" who do not care about anything but keeping their manager job going.

When Ford is majority owned by the Ford family, the company can act the way the family wants it to act - but when it's majority owned by small investors and random funds there's no "main owner" who can make decisions against the common grain.

I hate to flirt with conspiracy on this, but the funding is so pathetic I really wonder if the fossil fuel lobby has something to do with it. Commercial fusion would be the end for fossil fuels (at least within 50 years).

If we do get fusion expect a monster disinformation campaign similar to the one running now against EVs or the ridiculous 5G FUD campaign.
This does not change the fact that the amount of money in the system stays the same.

Before "somebody" lost their job and sold their stock, there were X people holding Y dollars. Afterwards, there are still X people holding Y dollars. Nothing changed. The amount of money available to bid on stuff is still the same. Both, the sum of money and also the average amount per person.
But how do you fund higher guaranteed social security? You need more money, which means either higher taxes or more people earning taxable money. The speed of population growth is declining, which is a big problem for the latter, and the former clearly has its limits.

You're saying stocks are a Ponzi scheme, but as a solution you're proposing something that constantly needs more people paying in money or it will collapse... sounds like a Ponzi scheme.
> is striking to see how many stocks there were with a P/E ratio under 15

P/E of 15 is an earnings yield of 6 2/3 percent. Look at contemporaneous interest rates and that yield makes sense.

Surely every 401K plan allows for bonds.

Further, my 401K allowed for indexes tracking foreign markets, real estate....

I don't doubt that the majority of people exposure to stocks are U.S. markets, to be sure. But perhaps, to that end, the government (Feds) are more likely to respond to collapses in the U.S. Stock market than other forms of investment.

I don't know that I believe it myself, but I'm proposing that maybe the "safe" money is in U.S. Stocks.

You’re only kind of correct. If my new phone ships with a brand new cable I’m going to want to use it — cables age, and my newest cable (especially one from a reputable manufacturer) is going to get used. But if I don’t have a USB-C brick then suddenly I need to buy one to use my best cable.

>It's not a treatment. Vaccines are prevention. We have treatments. Ivermectin isn't one of them.

I'm not an expert on medicine and I admit I have no idea what I'm talking about but are you trying to make some kind of a point here or are you just arguing about semantics?

>You have my permission to try and prove ivermectin is effective. So far everyone trying has failed.

No I'm not qualified for that. This is why I gave you a link about COVID nasal sprays that have ivermectin in them and asked whether they're bullshit or not. Enlighten me if you can or don't reply.

>It's not. We can get rid of seasonal flu if we try hard enough.

I'm too pessimistic to fall for that kind of wishful thinking.

>But with small-minded attitudes like yours, that simply is never going to happen.

Come on. You don't want me to be open-minded. You want me to be small-minded with you. To align my views with yours. Open-mindedness requires you to accept opposing view points. What even makes me small-minded exactly? I'm not against vaccines and I'm not against ivermectin. I'm merely baffled by the anti-ivermectin narrative and the totalitarian vaccine campaigns that leave no other options except mandatory vaccines. I may be ignorant and I may be wrong but I'm certainly not small-minded.

> There's something really insidious about tying 401ks and other retirement accounts to the stock market.

Insidious? That’s a bit rich. You can allocate money in your 401k however you want. It’s self-directed. If you don’t like stocks keep it in bonds or cash.

No, my point was not that simple. No large human population will have the same race / sex distribution as a standard bag of M&M's. But anyone who got an "A" in Probability 101 can look at the actual distribution of M&M colors, and do the calculations. AND - as rak1507 effectively points out - "all 6 green" is both grounds for a touch of suspicion, and utterly wrong as a basis for concluding actual non-random selection.

My other point was about motivated reasoning. One timeless hallmark of human bigotry (by sex, race, religion, age, social class, caste, nobility of blood, alma mater, or whatever) is that, so long as the outcomes of selection are what the bigots desire, then there really is no argument too flawed, nor excuse too weak, to proclaim that the outcomes are fair. But if the outcomes go against the bigots' preferences, then the standards of proof go way, way up.
The "money" in the economy is actually mostly credit,
and during a recession it contracts

What arguments are there to support the theory that a recession (decline in overall productivity) causes the amount of credit in the system to shrink?

From a look at the M2 and M3 money supply, there never seems to have been a contraction:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MABMM301USM189S

That seems to be a pretty strong argument against the money contraction theory.

The topic is cherry-picking experts (outsider experts in Rogan's case). The person you replied to said it can be justified because some experts are better than others, implying that outsider experts are better in this case. You supported that by saying there's a long list of cases where outsider experts are right and establishment experts are wrong.

In this topic, it's clearly relevant that this is far from universally the case. The establishment is often correct as well. That's why you don't want to cherry pick all your experts from one side. Especially if you yourself lack the ability to tell which experts are more expert, which is definitely true in Rogan's case.

Fair enough for the Maniforts/Bidens of the world wheeling and dealing on a global stage. Less fair for those of without spare thousands to burn on financial advisors.
You have people advocating medical treatments against the advice of medical professionals. The arguments include using studies they have no basis to understand and which don't actually support their theory. Not that they care since they are just looking for points to superficially support their predetermined conclusion, which they formed listening to Joe Rogen or reading social media posts.

You don't want to call that a conspiracy theory, but then what should it be called?

And which media outlets have been calling people stupid rednecks? You have a grievance against "the media", but who exactly is that?

I'm really a lot more concerned with the irresponsibility of pushing ineffective medical treatments to a serious health hazard than I am with how gently "the media" tells people that their conspiracy theories are wrong.
We're using gerrit and so when I have enough that I consider it worth keeping, I commit it and push it as a new change, I don't put anyone on review.
I continue working, and doing commit --amend and upload until I'm done.
Then I put people on review on fix whatever they come up with, and do the last commit --amend and push the final change. When QA accepts it I either submit, or rebase (if that is trivial, I submit, otherwise, I repeat the review, then submit when it has +2).
While all the patches are an improvement, I'm still on the fence about using it instead of vanilla FF. A browser is too security critical to trust in a handful of random people.

Well now I'm getting conflicting messages about its safety, compared to the user I originally responded to:

> It has virtually no negative side-effects, over 40 years of safety track record, and is safely taken prophylactically for other uses around the world. Its efficacy has yet to be proven and there are conflicting studies on this, but its safety is not disputable.

But regardless we come back to my original point - should it be handed out like candy just because they asked for it? Especially when its efficacy was questionable?

Article was structured a little weird (with the headings) and either proposed nothing as an alternative or was saying Value Investing is the better route.

This is kind of my beef in general, where does a normal family park cash?

Value Investing isn’t exactly easy.

I used to be big into FI/RE, but as I get older I am realizing cash flow is better (maximize your dollars in as easy and as stable as possible). Is more sustainable long-term than giant index fund nest egg… if I could choose.
Most 401ks are probably in funds that automatically start allocating more and more bonds as they approach retirement age. And frankly, if I could stop contributing to social security and invest it instead I would in a heartbeat. It’s effectively a Ponzi scheme that relies on more and more citizens paying in. That’s unsustainable, and by the time I retire I’m sure they’re at least going to move the age to collect up.

Absolutely correct. IIRC teslas (at least older models, not sure about recent ones) use standard 18650 lithium ion cells. Discharging those past a certain voltage (~2.5v?) will permanently damage the cell and is prevented by the battery management subsystem.

In theory it is possible to keep driving the car past a "0%" charge, assuming the safety systems could be bypassed, but you would never get the same range/acceleration on subsequent charges. Worst case would need am entirely new battery pack.
My parents living in the outskirts of Paris replaced their 40 year old gas furnace. They considered a higher-efficiency condensation gas furnace, but I convinced them to get a heat pump instead. The former was slightly subsidized (this is what is going away), about €1,000 or so, but more than 50% of the heat pump and installation price was covered by the government. They did have to install refrigerator-sized external elements in the back of the house, an apartment or a house with a smaller yard would have been more challenging.

My parents now have a much quieter heating system that is immune to gas price shocks (they also got rid of their gas range for an induction cooktop and disconnected their gas hookup altogether). And now, of course the satisfaction of not funding Putin's war effort.

Unless you're in the high margins league of Nvidia, Apple, etc, the rest of the HW industry is insanely price sensitive, so all these jokes on how cheap manufacturers are, are the reality on how the industry is staying afloat.
I see you're using a Nvidia GPU. Are you also running the NVIDIA driver? If so I'd be cautious. I've had multiple installs break when installing or updating the Nvidia driver. Otherwise, if you're using the open source driver then I'd say go for it.

Sennheiser CX300-II worked fine for me and I had somewhere around 5 pairs of them. CX3.00 with soft-touch coating on the wires snagged on my own clothing. Latest CX300S (with soft-touch wires too, but different from CX3.00) are fine again. And I greatly appreciate what I don't need to care to charge another device and can just leave them in the pocket for next time I need them, be it tommorow or in two weeks.
In the case of online banks/payments, for some reason you need a 2FA PIN to log in (fair enough), then one for EACH payment you have to make, it escapes me why you cannot input payments and when done authorize all of them together with a single 2FA PIN, it seems to me very like a "normal" online shopping cart works, you add items to it and when you have finished pay the total.

I am currently typing this using https://www.cherry.co.uk/cherry-kc-6000-slim-for-mac.html which is a spiritual successor to me for the old mac wired keyboards that I used for years (I recently went back to the office for the first time in 2 years and the old mac keyboard I had there for several years worked for ~30 seconds then - enough to login etc - then just totally died which was a shame)

There is something about the low profile chiclet thing that makes typing a joy - your hands glide over the keys with minimal movements needed to register a press. Your fingers are barely 1cm off the surface of the desk so you can support your wrists or forearms without having to lift them up or use wrist supports or whatever. I feel so nimble and quick this way. I have owned mechanical keyboards and have not enjoyed their huge keys with huge travel - so fatiguing to type on! I don't feel like I am missing much from the mechanical keyboards, but I would certainly be keen in a mechanical chiclet if someone were to make one (provided it had the same dimensions & travel as a normal slim chiclet)
