Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:He made an enormous amount of money by betting against the conservative U.K. government's monetary policy in the 90's (literally billions) and has basically been investing that money and using profits from investment to live his life and fund his pet political projects (post-apartheid charity work in South Africa, progressive political groups in Western Europe and the U.S., pro-democracy groups in Eastern Europe and Asia, giving money directly to people in Africa, informed suicide, drug legalization, funding universities in rural areas of Russia post-Communism, he established the Central European University, and he donates a ton of money to Bard college in the United States). Didn’t he do that in Malaysia a few years after England too?

small butter posted:I will keep saying this to everyone who will listen: the polls are still not predictive yet and are literal coin flips. They start to get marginally predictive around mid-April, not now, and their predictive power will increase very slowly but linearly until election day. Never forget the intense 2008 general election campaign between Hillary Clinton and Giuliani

Goatse James Bond posted:Ginsburg died at 87. Sotomayor is about twenty years younger. I'm not at all sure why there's an internet meme going around that she's on the brink of death. Type 1 diabetes dramatically lowers life expectancy doesn’t it?
