Please! Anyone considering taking a loan, please look at the amortization table before signing. Ask for the monthly/quarterly payment to be plotted as a stacked bar chart with interest, and minimum payment, on each bar. So much to be gleaned by a simple visualization.

Imagine someone hateful registered as a noncitizen or immigrant (knowing that individual has not voted historically) and illegally forged and casted a vote in their name with the explicit intent to anonymously report. Normally a non-issue given standard burden of proof, but compare to Habeas issue.

Regarding Callais, I think it would surprise the crafters of the 15th Amendment that when they wrote "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation," they had left it up to SCOTUS—and not to Congress—to decide what legislation is "appropriate."

Modern #investing lesson: Avoid companies with real operations - they come with KPIs, accountability, and other inconvenient facts. Why risk that when you could invest in a company with hypothetical *future* businesses which have the potential to be wildly profitable, someday!

I'm mostly convinced people just want to not be put on a list - either by a government agency, or sales agency - and have been driven to believe being the *last in line* for a death camp (hyperbole) is somehow preferable. The alternative to my opinion is simply an even worse reality, unbelievably.

Practice does NOT make perfect... training ones self to do a task imperfectly ingrains flaws - and so only *perfect practice* may make perfect. Your thought process in problem solving works the same. Strive for perfect practice of thought and you will land much closer to a form of perfect
