No, I don’t trust any of these bastards with anything. I’m just trying to identify how I would be personally put at risk by my DNA being available. What they would try to do collectively with a broad sample of the population’s DNA is something to be concerned about. But that research (nefarious or otherwise) would happen with or without my personal DNA.
What do you perceive as being the risk to an individual by providing a DNA sample for use in research? How does that come back to potentially harm me? Other than simply valuing my privacy.
I THOUGHT about going to the January 6th protest. As soon as I heard about it I reserved tickets and a hotel at a really good price because I was in early. My wife didn’t want me to go, so I canceled them.
Man, I did the same thing. I had a plane ticket and a hotel reservation 2 blocks from the Capitol. The day before I was to leave, something made me decide to not go. Not a wife, since I live by myself. I still wanted to go. But for some reason I just didn't. Divine intervention. Seriously, I believe it was.
Agreed. I think the next Fed move is another rate hike by the end of 2024 Q1. No cut will happen until something breaks, like the stock market. That will open the floodgates from the Fed for the last round of money printing in the trillions. All assets (stocks, bonds, gold, silver, oil) will have a blow-off top in response. That will be followed by a sharp increase in interest rates and a severe, multi-year depression.
Might turn out to be my retirement country based on what happens up here.
Any particular area of Argentina you have in mind for possible retirement? Are you familiar with Cafayate in NW part of country - south of Salta? It's a very small town in a high altitude (Andes foothills) wine-growing area. There's a development there with many ex-pats called La Estancia de Cafayate.
