Why argue over semantics? There's no specific agreed upon definition of terrorism.. You can make the argument that all homo sapiens are terrorists for exterminating neanderthals.. Clearly you and Dinar are talking about two different things here. Maybe to be more specific the issue is religious extremism?

How many generations do you think it'll take to make a cultural change? Do you think it's easier to integrate Syrians into European society than it is to integrate Italians or Polish? How do you think the mass migration of the past decade has benefited European society? We have had a mass immigration issue in Canada here. Notably the government allowed record #s of "temporary" workers/students into the country creating chaos in housing, healthcare, crime. It's sad because Canada's immigrant country and has hugely benefitted from a well-designed immigration system designed to draw talent. However, that was destroyed when the government started allowing everyone to come here. Now instead of multiculturalism, different ethnicities living together, we have parts of the country that are predominantly a single ethnicity groups since newcomers tend to coalesce around similar people. Would love to hear your perspective in Europe.

I don't think it's an ethnic thing. Human beings are basically the same DNA wise. Maybe there's a cultural aspect. But if you look back at history, all these different cultures have had golden ages too. So there's a timing aspect to this. Japan/Korea/China was ahead in the 1500s but fell far behind the West in the 1800s and subsequently had to adapt/modernize their culture/society.

Aircraft, shipping, so many possible uses. Airplanes don't even have satellite tracking today, kind of insane right? There's probably tons of applications that we have not thought of because the enabling technology never existed. If there's data congestion, they can always put more satellites up there. There's so much space in space..

Sorry, it's more of a rhetorical question. Anyone with common sense knows what's happening in Gaza is a tragedy but not a genocide. The media is at fault for parroting Hamas figures without skepticism. Anyhow it's absurd that these Palestinian "anti-zionist" supporters are protesting in Jewish neighbourhoods in Canada as if they have any influence over Israeli policy. It sounds like Israel and Hamas are close to a ceasefire agreement. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-ceasefire-egypt-qatar-264087c7a547031a9433ecbbdcd920d2

JT has the narcissism of Trump without the brains, skills and balls. If JT doesn't leave soon, I'm ok with Canada joining the US.

How is it a genocide?

Can't wait for this Trudeau nightmare to end.

Rare to see this today! All major economies are seeing debt/gdp ratios exploding higher. Surprise surprise, Palestinian health authority aka Hamas dramatically over-inflates Gaza civilians deaths.

Guessing the top is hard but things feel pretty overbought right now. Everyone and their cousins are buying/speculating on stocks and crypto. Growth companies hitting 100x PE, 50x sales. Mature companies trading at 40x, 50x earnings. Shitcoins hitting record highs. Berkshire raising record cash. On the other hand, the US is still the most attractive market and one of the only big economies with a growth mindset. Rest of the world economy is slowing and has turned to financial easing (aka money printing). Tons of capital flowing into the US.

Awesome thanks! Has anyone ever used those secondary market to buy shares of private or pre-ipo companies?

This is kind interesting. Israel has been running annual budget deficit (3-7%) for the last 25 years. But because their GDP has grown so quickly. Debt to GDP has gone from ~90% of GDP to ~60%.

Is there a way to buy SpaceX shares?

Also crime. People are buying bollards for their driveways cause car theft has gotten so bad. We just don't have the budget for NATO because so much money is wasted here. CAD is breaking record lows. We don't even know what the deficit looks like for this year. Govt is bent on spending more and more. I guess that's what we should expect when the guy in charge thinks the "budget will balance itself".
