Attention job seekers. I will not hire any recent graduate of Columbia, because that school is so tainted that I will not be able to trust in the character nor the educational attainment of any of its students. And I furthermore will not hire any older graduates either, because

Every employer discriminates, and on a large variety of topic categories, e.g. education, experience, face tattoos.... Discriminating based on race, sex, religion, and national origin are bad types of discriminating. There are other types that are proper, and useful.

Student loans should be like mortgages. You cannot get a loan for $1.5 million to buy a house that is only worth $400k. A college degree is an asset, which should be able to be valued. There should be an "appraisal" of the specific university and academic major before loan

There has been a lot of discussion lately about breadth divergences of various types, including Advance-Decline Lines, and so I figure that a primer is in order. The very first analysts who ever looked at data on Advancing and Declining issues were Leonard Ayres and James

Why is 2022 seeing a bear market? Short answer: Liquidity. Fed is taking away the punch bowl, and Congress is taking too much money out of the economy in the form of taxes. Every time taxes go above 18% of GDP (since the 1930s) we have gotten a recession. Every time.

Speaking as a one-time Army logistics officer, these trucks look like they are getting shipped new from the factory (or the rebuild depot). If it were a unit deployment, there would be a mixture of truck types, and loaded with other equipment, plus with distinctive markings.
