I don't think much politics gets published here. It's just too polarizing and too many of the authors are biased one way or the other. It's also doesn't have much to do with investing and this is an investing site. Why not send it to one of the many politics sites. Seems like there are more and more of those every day.

Many people have no interest in paying for content. That's why people like me go to free sites. And why I just quit Seeking Alpha since they starting charging for access. Meanwhile publishing companies are going bankrupt right and left. It's really not that easy to make money in the media world. Create a blog and try to charge for access or make money on ads, and you'll see what I mean.

Why so surprised? I work in the industry and can tell you that advertising rates have plummeted over the last few years. A lot of sites like Seeking Alpha dumped them completely. I'd say this site would be lucky if they pulled in $1k to $5k per month from ads, and the cost to simply host the site is likely more than that.

Agreed, I’m in $NERD and $HERO

Is any currency doing worse than the dollar?

Wouldn't a better bet be investing in a company that's making good progress on a vaccine like Pfizer or Moderna? $PFE $MRNA?

I just made the identical comment yesterday. While I realize that was 100 years ago, the world survived. Though I wonder if during the 1918 pandemic, we had a president that told people to ignore the virus, don't wear a mask, it will go away on it's own. Or if the people were dumb enough to listen back them.

Why do you say that, Noah? Do you mean interesting in a good way or bad way? Should I be taking a closer look?

Good read, thanks.
