I work with a guy that used to write proprietary high frequency trading software. He admits it adds nothing of value to society, and he wasn't really happy with the work and didn't stick around too long. This was a while ago.

He thinks they should add a random delay on each transaction. It doesn't even need to be huge, but he says the randomness would be enough to disrupt the algorithms.

Finally tracked down the delta on our pay from the tax changes. Dr. Mrs. and I did great, which is yet another reason why the whole thing is a Heist.

But I would like to thank all those poor dumb Rust Belt xenophobes for destroying their social safety net while enhancing our retirement. I will be making extra donations to Planned Parenthood, SPLC, and Greenpeace specifically in your names. Bless your heart.

There are better places to put your money if you want to save the planet.

Hey, Virginia is sane now. At the very least, go 1863 and make the Rappahanock a DMZ.

Kinda have to take New Mexico- as I'm sure there are republicans who want to put a wall up along it's border.
 
Re: Business, Economics & Tax Policy 6.0: Nope, it only found woven strands

Can someone explain to me why republicans hate the CFPB so much.? I mean equifax didn't protect their data, knew it wasn't protected, and when it was breached covered it up and then lied about it and the CFPB does nothing?

They must be giving somebody a ton of money.

They hate FEMA and the CDC too. But, yes, Mulvaney hates the CFPB really bad. Plenty of articles on the topic.
