"You seem very bitter and angry. Some Boomer wisdom that might help. Charlie Munger: "We can all go back and wish we could make some decision better. But it's the nature of things that you're gonna blow one occasionally. My general idea is there's no point in fretting too much about what you can't fix." "It's a big mistake to fill yourself with resentments and hatreds and so on. It's such a simple idea but so many people ruin their lives unnecessarily.""

"Are you aware of the substitution effect That foreign producers reduce prices when the dollar weakens to maintain their US customers That most of the household budget is spent on services which by definition are domestically produced That a lower dollar is US economic stimulus so it helps workers by increasing labor demand and wages Your thinking that a 10% weaker dollar = 10% reduction in spending power reveals a vast opportunity to learn about economics I am envious because learning about economics is so much fun.

That is how useless gold is beyond some industrial applications. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017736188501663873 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017736188501663873"

"Yeah weird how age racism is so blithely accepted. Substitute 'black people' for 'boomers' above and see what you get. Charlie Munger: "It's a big mistake to fill yourself with resentments and hatreds and so on. It's such a simple idea but so many people ruin their lives unnecessarily.""
