Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[Pessimist]

No, I measure my self worth with Instagram likes, duh.

I did only accumulate most of my net worth in these past 5 years after dicking around and squandering loads of cash during my first 15 adult years. Pretty set for life now. Whoop. (BTW, that means I'm 38 yo).

Anyway, you're right. I'm not even that smart. But I do understand simple compound interest while living a minimalist lifestyle when you're young in order to put away a lump sum.

7 figures is pretty simple once you reach even just an average salary. Put away the max Roth retirement 401 K contribution of $19.5 K per year. Get to $60 K in about 3 years. Put it in a Vanguard / ishares / State Steeet SP500 ETF which has averaged 13.6% annual ROI these last 10 years. Make no further contributions to that account. Just annually compounding that $60 K alone at 13.6% over 22 years puts you at 7 figures, tax free. That's $1.000.000 in 25 years, give or take some untimely bear market slumps. Come to think of it, shit, $19.5 K per year was my average working girl budget for the 3 years prior to COVID. Fuck, that could have been a mil. Dammit!

Or maybe a more modest 8% annual return for 22 years with just contributing the annual $19.5 K max, no employer match needed.

Or How about some riskier investments to your first $1. 000.000:

$60 K in Tesla 2 years ago.

$60 K in bitcoin last April.

$60 K in DogeCoin 2 days ago.

What 40 year old hardcore monger does not have $60 K in retirement savings to grow that to $1. 000.000 by the time they are 60-65? Those guys might need to stop spending on hookers and sugar babes if they don't at least have that much.

P.S. I slept in my car last night after work too. Top level of the parking deck, nice view of the city skyline. Overnight lows of 52 F /11 see. Woke up at 5:30 AM, went to the gym, showered, and back to work this morning. Just saved $50-$100 in hotel. Putting that in my hooker account!

"7 figures is pretty simple once you reach even just an average salary."

LOL. If growing net worth was as easy as typing*comments on ISG, yeah this country would be full of millionaires. There is not a single age bracket in the country with median net worth near that amount. Not even close.

"$60 K in Tesla 2 years ago. $60 K in bitcoin last April. $60 K in DogeCoin 2 days ago." - Sure, let us know when you turned into Biff Tannen and brought home quotes from the future.

A million bucks might seem like a great amount if you have no family, no one to care for, and your biggest*concern in life is paying for the next hooker room. In this day and age, many people with a million in even semi urban areas don't think of themselves as being anything more than middle middle class or even lower middle if in expensive urban areas. Particularly true because most people benchmark themselves against their peers more successful than themselves; at least the ones who do well in life are that way.

"BTW, that means I'm 38 yo)".

Yeah sure. You are a regular Robert Pattinson alright. "And how long have you been 17?""A while.

Considering that your biggest bragging point is the claim about not being 40 yet, you better stay 38 for a few more years. And never ever mix with a crowd younger than you, that will shatter your Alaska sized ego when they call you boomer. Oh the horror.

"No, I measure my self worth with Instagram likes, duh."

Glad to see you graduated from Tik Tok. There is hope yet.

There is no doubt that economically China made immense progress. I have my doubts about political freedom though. I know plenty of people through work in Hong Kong (of course HK is a small part), but they are not so enthusiastic. There they had economic freedom before and they feel they are losing freedom now.

Can you go in Tiananmen square with a big sign saying "Communist party sucks" and they will leave you alone?

Of course not but what is the interest of doing that, I have never done this in France or Germany. I never stay 1 night in HK, it is not China for me, I always take the ferry to Shenzhen were there is a lot of space, large roads. I like China but hate HK.

[ExpatLover]

But are you telling us for freedom, human rights and safety about government, when people disappear in China? Just a joke. And you want also to tell us for Chinese products quality? I would not dare to drive like I do in a Chinese car, when Audi, even so bad, not sporty quattro new generation, are so safe to push, even over grip. What is average salary in whole China? Not only big cities. About safety, a mother made kidnapped her daughter, when French justice gave daughter to her grandmother, when mother was judged not able to take care of her daughter. I don t judge mother because I know can be very difficult for mother without her daughter, but where did she hide? In unsafe France? No, in 3 different places and helped by many people in very safe Switzerland. So safe. Easy to enter.

If you want to speak about human rights, may be you should check what happened in Paris the 17 October 1961, how many Algerian were killed, and how many people were sentenced? Better you apply for a chinese visa and you spend there several months so may be you will change your mind.

[PaulInZurich]

For my job, I m used to work with laws and lawyers and according to international laws, Switzerland don't respect them, but when justice process problem, then no value for charge, just basic knowledge for lawyers. When I m caught in Germany, I'm guilty, when I m not caught in Switzerland, I m innocent according to all international laws, and I don't even waste my time to read your links, just ask any lawyer. I didn't make their basic rules for job. Swiss administration are just more robbers than WGs, or maybe I m luckier with WGs. And I never pay robbers, when I pay lovely WGs but I love when they offer me a bit, like time or extra. As I wrote, I'm trained to be able to resist to Swiss administration, I'm not afraid of them, like I m not afraid of covid. Let's see on next control and let s see for climbing, but any bicycle need a guy able to turn legs.

It's clearly noticed that you never present any logical argument or present any facts. Just random ramblings.

China loves freedom, ask the ouighours. They all work freely in nice labor camps.

May be you are aware that I am working in China for many years, I just advice you to take out from your Audi all the pieces made in China, you reaction is the typical one from the people who are no more competitive. How many times have you travel to China, where are you getting you info from, maybe you should go there, pass the driving license and make your own opinion. The living standard in China is booming for 99% of the population, they are living in a country of full freedom contrary what so many are saying, I still believe that the freedom in China in higher that the one in France during De Gaulle. Women can go out at any time, no risk to be raped, the elderly are very protected never aggressed by migrants.

This is new, so now according to you even photo is not enough. So speeding fines are valid only if they stop you on the spot. How do you know their radar is correct? What if somebody takes your car, takes your ID and has cosmetic surgery to look like you? The police should prove this is not the case as well, right?

If true, clearly irresponsible behaviour.

Of course, all WGs wait for you and refuse other clients. I wonder how they don't die of hunger waiting for you or are you in all clubs all the time. Just as believable as you claiming that you are fitter than Peter Sagan.

You were given multiple links to laws and court decisions even decisions at European Court of Human Rights. On the other hand you watched some reruns of Boston Legal dubbed in French and think that you know what is going on.

Keep telling yourself how amazing you are. I can agree with you that you are "unique" and "special".

Spoken like a true Frenchman.

I am, but nothing against UK citizens when I know some, just facts UK mutant born in UK, was spread in whole EU and killed a lot, and I'm afraid now south African and Brazilian will help it to kill even more. When Germany reopened a bit on end of last year, but I doubt for this year when they have now 80 000 deaths and I m pretty sure they agree with me about too many deaths in their country, and also in mine with now more than 100 000, when UK is number 1 in Europe for deaths. Just sad time for too long. More than 3 millions deaths and not finished.

[HammerTime96]

I agree, but the current predictions has Germany already at ICU peak. And ICU bed usage is currently only about 67% of what they were during the previous wave. Link to health data below.

Under what stone are you living? Perhaps spend some more time learning German so you can read the German media? Or don't they teach you German in that CCP Propaganda School you attended?

As Kuni042 wrote: in Germany the lockdown rules are becoming MORE strict and the German mainstream media are panic-mongering 24-7 about "hospitals being overrun."

https://www.dw.com/en/covid-germany-...ses/a-57241317

Merkel wants a new law, giving the national government the power to override the individual federal states when it comes to lockdowns and Covid1984 measures. Why do you think this is?

Is this because 'there is light at the end of the tunnel' and that we're already at the peak? Or is this because the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming freight train loaded with countless vaccine-resistant mutations?

If we were truly almost at the end of this Scamdemic, then Merkel wouldn't need this law, and she and her medical "experts" would be able to easily convince the German federal governments to 'hang in there juuuuust a little bit longer.'

The bitter reality is probably that the politicians know that they made a total mess of this situation, that "vaccines" won't help much against a fast-mutating Corona virus, and that more lockdowns, "vaccine-updates," and face diapers will be needed in autumn 2021 and in 2022, 2023 etc.

If it was so easy making millions, you would have made them; as opposed to posting 20 messages on ISG daily. Are you one of those who measures self-worth not by the amount you have in the bank but how many messages you posted in the last 12 hours? You should figure out if you can get paid for all this wisdom you dispense on ISG. Might help paying for the next room.

Perhaps this is your calling in life. Desperately trying to appear smart on anonymous forums printing meaningless gibberish while revenge fucking white working girls for all the injuries done to your ancestors. Do you think of the injustices of opium wars while shooting your load? LOL.

Spot on! CCP Troll and medical 'expert' Nursenary gets paid per misinformation post to 'upsell' the ISG public more lockdowns, more "vaccines" and more mutations.

[BigBuddy69]

Adding to my last response, anyone who doesn't understand what's "just saying" words, are simply dumb, that includes the few bleach drinking Trump supporters and the vast majority of libtards who use those words in their stupid arguments.

It's really becoming a troll fest here and that's funny but a lot of the guys using the same arguments (libtards, cccp and so on, I thought maccarthysm ended some decades ago) are nicknames who became active roughly at the same time a few years ago, had lots of things to do but rarely provided accurate reports, only vague stories and who where labelled 'bitumen personas' by veteran members.

Now they have a new tactic: flooding this thread under a constant stream of more and less conspiracy related theories found on YouTube and Facebook (everyone knows that those two companies are absolutely not at all interested in making money and are just looking to enlighten the population) and every time they're proven wrong or debunked they release the 'libtards cccp blablabla' floodgate and skip to another theory.

I just checked for example one of the earliest theories of this thread.

The 'hydroxychloroquin + zinc + vitamin will save us all I saw it on Russia Today but its silenced by mass media big pharma and so on. The treatment still has not proved its efficiency and there is right now another clinical trial sponsored by progenabiome which is guess what? A med lab. So much for the big pharma conspiracy.

The problem is, throwing random arguments and prophecies is like mail spamming, it doesn't take time. Finding logical information is more time consuming.
