This article was pretty insipid and included some valuable insights like "The experience of WWII is that stocks generally did preserve wealth. But stocks had substantially higher returns if their home country was on the winning side. Losing the war and becoming occupied destroyed a country’s long-term return in equities." Like no shit sherlock.

Yawn. Am I the only person who is burnt out on hypocrites lecturing me about race? Where are all the articles talking about how brilliant white and asian kids are being denied opportunities because a school or workplace would rather have a show black kid who never would have been accepted if he were not black. I'm tired of being lectured about equality from people who are trying to get their special privileges while denying people a fair shake. I dont hear black people crying about how there aren't enough asians teaching african American studies. Why do underfunded programs need to spend money marketing themselves only to black people? When is the last time you saw a black face in the media without his race being mentioned? I'm not even white and this BS is nauseating.

"It’s a staggering success while it lasts; by the late 1860s, the average family owns upwards of twenty horses. The empire these nomads build is rapacious; more than once, the Lakota are forced to move westward because they have looted the neighboring tribes out of existence and are therefore out of farmed food. Over several more generations, the Lakota shift fitfully west, until a series of visions reveals the Black Hills as their final home."

Funny but I have never seen genocide committed by white folk called a staggering success. If a white person said God gave white people Utah until the end of time we would think they are nuts, why is it any different when a native says the same?

it really speaks to the obvious bias on this site that on this story multiple comments are shedding crocodile tears about safety but on the stories where tesla is bragging about its speed and performance you only see comments admiring their technical prowess.
