what was the estimated population of the US in 1911?
i assume it ramped up a few years after during ww1 and 2
1911 = 93,863,000
1920 = 106.5 million
1950 = 152.3 million
woah more than 10% in 9 years
And with a war and the 1919 Spanish Flu in the interval
1925 = 115.8 million
So yeah, explosive growth
stock market is having another hissy-fit
oil prices crashing like crazy too
seems to be all oil based
The arrest of the Huawei exec
And the fact Trump and Xi apparently attended entirely different bilateral meetings in Argentina
oil has gone from $76 a barrel to 50
in just a few weeks... and has cracked this morning
the saudi officials said something about not needing another countries permission to cut production
Likely fears of a global recession are rising, which would mean less demand for oil
which you would think would increase prices...
financial sector doesnt usually fear a recession... they are impossible to predict and nothing would get done if they constantly tried to
Oh, the markets certainly do factor in future concerns
That's the whole point of the market is for people to jointly show their confidence or lack thereof
For every buyer there has to be a seller and vice versa
It's a buyers market right now
yeah but in the major indexes the sellers nearly always lose
and go bankrupt before any recession even comes 😛
just wait till they transplant a womb into a transwoman... would that change the minds of conservatives? https://twitter.com/newscientist/status/1070681889281839104?s=20
I mean Ive seen a few conservatives who were asked "are trans women real women, what do you consider a real woman" .. and they answer "a woman ihas a womb and is able to give birth" .. so would they concede or change their answer?
Probably the latter.
And they'd probably tell you to slow your roll, Diogenes.
I mean if they have everything women have ... and are able to procreate... at very least you can say they are committed to being a woman 😛
i mean at that stage I would say there is no important difference
I can slap a human womb into a sheep.
Does that mean it gets to vote and complain about the pay gap?
I wonder if the majority of women would get with a trans guy with a transplanted penis... if it was fully working and somehow able to produce sperm
if the sheep had surgury to look like a human woman... and could communicate... I guess...
if it had that level of intelligence then why not
wtf cnn
