Out of all the people I knew growing up (born 1961 at the Boomer/Gen X cusp) I can't think of a single one who married into the core of Gen X except him.

Searching for a job is a beauty contest

We monitored all relevant agencies offering jobs in Italy from August 2011 to September 2012 sending 11008 CVs to 1542 advertised job openings. To do so, we construct fake CVs and we sent the same CV 8 times, changing only name and surname, address, and the photo included.

Italian attractive women are called back on average 54% of the time, while Italian unattractive women obtain a widely lower callback rate (7%).

Aristotele said: “Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference”. After thousands of years this concept continues to hold.

I noticed this when I worked in and dealt with corporations. One day I remarked to a fellow female state (government) employee that the only notable difference I've observed between corporate and government employees is that corporate employees are much better looking than government employees. While I didn't expect it to, that really pissed her off.

Complete and ready to go government ready to take over as soon as they get rid of Trump.

DOJ is the problem not the solution as they wait for the new regime.

Federal Money Market Fund (Settlement fund) $10,125.56

After moving children and grandchildren as discussed to another location I am up that amount this year
from base accounts dcf macro accounts. I closed one book as forwarded.
Another year to go for the one back in medical studies and clinicals.
As mentioned increased book four for now.
Even when I explained a few things they are confused at home to actual intel.
My point until these village and useful idiots understand what really going on we are
going in the wrong direction.

The smart kids are sorting out some basic ethical variables as we move forward.

We sold book three as it was a broker dealer who had a bright idea. I handled that account since they told us we were wrong and that is not how things are done. He was under thirty and very brilliant. That conversation lasted as long as it will be under advisement and click. The next day 10:00 am the positions were closed.

As we discussed here recently for those who convey you avoid the obvious do understand Rothbard’s value scale approach is a more effective communication tool than the indifference curve approach. The actual issue is they indeed humbled themselves to live on twenty dollars a day and lowered the river to sunk costs. As we know, Sogo Shosha groups are sufficiently diversified to withstand periodic downturns in certain sectors of the economy. Even still, the market share of the Sogo Shosha has declined because numerous manufacturers in a variety of industries have opened up plants in countries with weaker currencies and because Japanese companies have started to manage their own international trade. This we noted clearly in the Forums on the signal that we confirmed. This will mirror back as supply chain realities. As I mentioned when the river lowers the turbulence is seen and modified to flow efficiencies to supply. Sticky wages was operation 936 and packaged as Nafta for the true believers.
Sometimes more alike than we wish to convey since the groups must endure the missing value stream.

We have watched the drains since I refuse to invest in waste streams.
These are the IP streams of alleged value chains that were channeled off as we speak.
I can do fine without them.

Profit for the day is $420, total working time 48 minutes (see time stamps). This is a fairly typical day. You can see most of the winners take just a handful of minutes and the losers take a bit longer before I exit out of them. HFT can be my best friend when I want to exit.

I have to wonder how much productivity is being lost in the economy due to the Fed turning it into a casino. Should an engineer like me be playing tiddly winks and making more money in 48 minutes than an employer can pay me for the entire day? It would take longer than 48 minutes to commute back and forth.

Also, when I say I can't beat the market, that still holds true today. "The market" is up more percentage-wise than my account is. Yesterday when "the market" was down that wasn't true, but there aren't many down days.

If you wonder if the model was buy it back with paper tiger fiat and let it be for a nickel it would make sense.
When this SOB blows a motor you can bet your leveraged social credit ass the boney finger of fate points already knows who did it and why.
Just as smart as the village idiots here being mirrored as the useful idiots versions here.

I think it depends on how many gamblers would normally be part of the population defined by the square root rule - that most of the work done in any organization is done by the square root of the number of people in the organization. An example would be that Wall Street hires physicists, or Simons gambles instead of pursuing mathematics. Simons puts a lot of his gambling winnings toward mathematics but that might be an example of the Hayek principle you discussed - using gambling to usurp the free market that would exist without the undue influence of gambling on the economy.

Gates and Buffett think they're really great because of their philanthropy, but couldn't ten thousand people distribute money more efficiently and equitably in a non-lottery economy?
