How about we do something novel in the new year? Let's stop worrying about the stuff most politicians, pundits, and activists want us to worry about and instead think about ourselves, our families, our friends, and whatever communities we choose to be part of. Let's...
Since the first assault on Turkey’s finances in 2018, which I wrote about multiple times (here, here, and here), I’ve been the lone voice telling everyone that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a lunatic but he’s a lunatic with a plan. That plan is to de-dollarize the...
Oh yeah, no, it's because they are just terribly concerned about the proper process being followed! If there's one thing that anyone and everyone knows about the cops of South Dakota: they don't care about themselves at all! They are only worried what might happen if...

The stock market has been going up and down wildly for months, actually more down than up on the technical analysis charts. This is hurting stock traders and stock market investors. The other week the Federal Reserve raised rates and the market fell more so the focus...
