Dumb youngsters get stupid tattoos all the time. How many people are walking around with the Chinese pictograph for "Soup," thinking it means Peace or something?
"Crowd-funded health care is the best American health-care strategy, according to a Fox News/Heritage Foundation funded study."
Sorry, that post was an answer to a different question. I don't know how it dropped here.
It probably started with one person getting up earlier, making coffee, and bringing back coffee and some small pastry or something. That would be easy to deal with, and a nice wake up.
Then it turned into this whole thing where they bring a tray with all this stuff on it, including a vase with a flower, and it's all wobbly and spilling, and you have sit up with your legs out straight, unable to properly lean back against something, etc. It was a nice thought, but way more trouble than it's worth.
Just bring me some coffee, please.
Tolerance requires the recipient to be grateful for the tolerance. These people see tolerance as a weakness to be ruthlessly exploited.
We tried tolerance, it didn't work. We can't make that mistake again. We need to pivot to a strategy the MAGAs will understand and respect, which is crushing them mercilessly. They are evil, treasonous, corrupt pedophiles, and will require a strong boot on their throats for a generation or two, until they learn their lesson once and for all.
A LOT of people deserve this, and much, much worse.
The silver-lining is that now he won't have to sell his business when ICE deports him.
I was understand ALL of that, but the point is that Gold carries a significant value over and above its monetary value, and that's part of the reason that it has remained among the most desirable, and most popular, precious metals throughout history.
Gold has always been valued because it has some important attributes that few, if any, other substances have.
It won't tarnish or oxidize, so it will look just as shiny and beautiful a thousand years from now.
It is extremely malleable, easily crafted into any shape. It can be hammered thin enough to be a foil, or drawn into a wire as thin as a human hair.
It has a relatively low melting point, making it easy to cast.
It is extremely conductive, and is the conductive material of choice when price is no object.
There are other unique properties, but the point is that much of Gold's value derives from being significantly, even uniquely, different from most other substances, giving it an intrinsic value beyond its monetary value.
