    It's all working out for me btw, all worth it. I trashed my own credit simply because I was sick of it. I destroyed my career simply because I was sick of it. I took two and a half years off, fought the collectors, burned through my 401k, took shit from everybody in the family... and guess what? Trading is really easy now.

    All you guys that are always finding things to be pissed off about because you can't trade worth squat doing your little high frequency thingy up against million dollar bots... see 'ya, wouldn't wanna be 'ya.. :p

    . We can pay more for education and have a higher quality population - which IN THE LONG RUN will be more productive and reward society with lower unemployment, higher awareness and all together pay for itself...Stupid ass people cost all of us money.
    Intelligent people tend to make smarter decisions, both health wise and financially, which reduces the economical burden on society...


    except it doesn't work that way. We spend more per student on the inner city kids than anybody else. Guess what? they still don't give a shit and still fail. All the money in the world cannot replace a shitty culture

  4. Did Fox tell you this, because it's false. In fact the country spends more per student in wealthy areas:

    "a wealthy suburban school district such as in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where the median household income is $152,752, spends more than $12,000 per student. This is in sharp contrast to a Detroit school district, where the median household income is $40, 986 and $7,259 is spent per student."

  5. I was working in Chicago for about a year and those roads around Chicago are a complete joke. Its the worst I have ever seen. That is what Obama brought you in Illinios and it is what he bring to the whole country.

    Great post

    Only thing is that America is too big and diverse to run efficiently as Scandinavian countries do. People here are all about the individual (personal greed).. whereas throughout Scandinavia is about community (good for all). But yes, education is key.
