EXPLAINING WEIRD EVENTS

CHINA'S MONEY

On November 30, 2015, China's currency was accepted by the IMF as one of their currencies. I am NOT an expert in currency trading. I CAN tell you that, if you do not understand international politics, you should not be trading in currency. I can also tell you that China is almost certainly attempting to move toward a free trade currency. This is GOOD NEWS for the region and the world, but it will take time to implement. As usual, amateurs should NEVER try to make money from the currency market.

MARKET PANIC

When news people want you to panic, they tell you the number of points that the stock market dropped. That is because you would yawn if they told you the percentage drop. If you do not understand percentage, then you should not be trading in the stock market.

COLOGNE SEXUAL HARASSMENT

It is totally possible this was done by xenophobic Germans, pretending to be immigrants. Men all over the world harass women in this fashion. It is not a sexual thing, It is a "if you are out in the night, then you are a prostitute" thing. It is meant to keep women cowering in their homes.

Immigrants will be unable to work in Germany until they get lessons in how to treat their fellow persons with respect. At work, they need to take orders from women, from the disabled, from LGBTs and from other minorities. In the US, we find that it helps to have classes in how to do this.

GUNS IN THE US

Every time we discuss gun control, people panic and buy guns. We need to find a way to make people less afraid.

We can start by stopping our stupid, ineffective war on some drugs. The war on drugs is having the exact same effect as prohibition of alcohol. The amazing, tax free profits from illegal drug sales are turning our inner cities into the equivalent of Chicago during prohibition. When we stopped prohibition of alcohol, the violence stopped immediately. We all know what we need to do, but no one has the courage to do it.

None of our prohibited drugs have a worse effect on society and/or persons, than alcohol. Did you know that during prohibition, teachers taught kids that one drink of alcohol could ruin your stomach for life? Heroin, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, magic mushrooms, marijuana, are ALL less bad for you than alcohol.

But it is the violence and corruption that must stop. Therefore the war on hippie drugs must stop.
