Told you so.

Yup. And usually if a company is paying dividends, that means they are making a profit. My theory is high dividend paying companies are more likely to be a "real" business.

I've lost money like everyone else but I think I've lost less than the average. I'm down about 10%. But I feel more secure knowing I own real companies that make real things like cars and oil and food. Compared to dotcom companies that just have a website.

Thank you for the info. 10% isn't bad considering what's happened/happening.

I don't think this is correct. IIRC, SCOTUS did not rule that abortion is strictly a state-level issue.

SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, which "discovered" that abortion rights were secured under the Constitution without any need for explicit federal legislation. The Dobbs decision reversed that "discovery" - meaning that if abortion is to be limited or protected at the federal level, Congress will first have to pass a law to that effect. So unless and until Congress does that, the states will get to make their own decisions on the issue.

This means that "radical feminists [attempting] to get some kind of national legislation" are not necessarily wasting their time and effort, and the abortion issue will continue to be a factor in federal races.

Thanks for the correction. Not good.

Time to end women’s sufferage.

Thinking with their lips and that’s it.

Bigger problems in the world than abortion access. There are ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies, killing the baby is a piss poor decision.

^^this^^ In this day and age most can be avoided through contraception of some sort. I understand there are exceptional cases such as rape and incest etc ... but by and large most can be avoided altogether.

Some people Hate Babies,

It wasn't until western Christianity came along that babies, children and infants ceased being treated like rubbish.

The same people that hate babies hate western civilization even more.

Overturning Roe was a Pyrrhic victor at at best.

Within five years you will see federal legislation that will bind all 50 states to "the right to abortion on demand, up to the moment of birth".

Within ten years, you will see federal legislation that will bind all states to "the right to terminate an infant up to six months old".

Not religion, but rather when modern sanitation, medicine and nutrition came along and reduced infant mortality to the point where emotional investment was worthwhile. Prior to that, children were often not even named until they had been alive for several months (by which I mean "out of the womb" for several months). Parents didn't "dip their kids in the polaroid lacquer" (or Christen them) until they were sure they were "going to take".

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Infant baptism was a thing specifically because of infant mortality rates... that's the reason that the Catholic church adopted the sacrament of confirmation - the (early) adult affirmation of their infant baptism.

The funny thing about evidence, is that it no longer seems to matter anyway. Elections, covid, or otherwise

Well, in addition to being conservative, smart, a quick thinker, well spoken and poised, she's gorgeous so I can understand your attraction.
