The gain is not realized until the asset is sold. A capital gain may be short-term ...
Who will win for the middle class
"The Democrats , however, remain a mystery . We watch them hesitate at crucial moments, betray the movements that support them, and even try to suppress the leaders and ideas that generate any kind of populist electricity. Not only do they seem uninterested in doing their duty toward the middle class, but sometimes we suspect they don’t even want to win." Source Thomas Frank for theguardian.com

Autocracy
a system of government by one person with absolute power "After starting a trade war, giving tax hand outs to the rich that will likely blow up the US fiscal deficit and antagonizing NATO allies while befriending despotic leaders, this latest action of Trump further establishes the pattern of his capricious, often short term focus. That in itself is a scary observation and an understandable reason why the dollar sold off.” Sources CNN theguardian.com Provider Youtube

Is this the American way
Opinions from the New York Times Are congressional jobs worth more than the security and well being of the American people? Why do we let this person whos boast he won the electoral college vote, trample on American values, jobs, and security? Congress, the Senate, won't you do something to correct an obvious error of presidential selection ?

Charity: A poem
Give charity its due, no fumbling in the pew Any amount to suffice, we are men not merely mice Who show god thanks, for what we have Give tithes, so waves may ride Fore those less fortunate, the ones who bear And do not fuss, a life down here Who carry burdens, of our birth Few have life, with joy and mirth Do enjoy, time here on earth
Remember SNL
Before cell phones there was Saturday Night Live "One of the skeptics was NBC Research chief Bill Rubens, who complained openly that Saturday Night wasn't, as he'd predicted all along, deliver ing enough viewers to justify its budget. Nor did it seem to have much potential for improvement. In December, Rubens's department finished a report on the results of an opinion survey it had conducted on Saturday Night's first few shows. The report found several 'areas of concern' with the program. Viewers, the survey said, found Saturday Night ' terribly disjointed.' It left them feeling 'bombarded by a constant stream of short segments.' Another 'disturbing impression' was that viewers expected more spontaneity from a live show than they were getting from Saturday Night : ' The production should allow for or include the unexpected or ad-lib.' There was 'a rather large negative response' to the [televi...

"If we don't vote...
...then this democracy doesn't work." source https://www.thedailybeast.com Mr. Obama may not appeal to you anymore than President Trump does to others, but he does offer some sense to the democratic political process that presently appears chaotic. Countries are not corporation within themselves, they must collaborate, negotiate and understand each other in order to peacefully prosper.
Your getting older
What's it like to grow old? This is a question I asked my father. His answer was simple and to the point. "I think the same, but I am tired." Of course we think the same. You would think a lifetime of failures and successes would alter our conscience. The accumulated earned wisdom does not change who we are. It simply confirms the person people see, whether they view correctly or not. If you live your life foolishly, you ache all over both inside and out. Then again without taking a few chances, what is life for? Regrets are a plenty for the person who did not tempt fate. Living with the consequences of our soul's desires is the stuff of life. So, do something stupid and it will in effect haunt you all you're living days. Become the beacon of humanity and it will eventually crush you unless you find a hidden crutch. All great men have one or two tucked away in their private lives, the grand escape tha...
The craft or art of writing
The use of pictures instead of words takes us back to an era when drawing images was our language. We have become as the ancients falling back to a solitary visual skill for expression, communication and historical accounting. Recent technology makes it so. "The craft or art of writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for the wordlessness." - John Steinbeck

What we have
the worth of what we get God forbid we become the United States of Trump. That would threaten our future and the stability of the world. The world has come to rely on an America that, more often than not, has been ready to pay any price and bear any burden to do the right things, say the right things, model the right things and stand for the right things — when others were unwilling or unable to do so. We live in an age of technological advance but The Times reported last week that “Trump is the first president since 1941 not to name a science adviser, a position created during World War II to guide the Oval Office on technical matters ranging from nuclear warfare to global pandemics.” He relies on his “instincts” instead, and his instincts told him that climate change is a hoax.

Good music
Sarah Mclachlan's songs is an opinion a cultural choice determined by what people know and feel One generation is separated from the next by forces they are barely aware of Good music can't be denied It transcends time I became reacquainted with her music after buying an old CD dating back to the late 1980's The conversion of a song on this CD will appear here at a later date if possible The picture shown above is from that CD The resurgence of vinyl lp's is an example of this need to appreciate the musical past
Isolation
Do we see the whole picture As a people we work and expect the opportunity for a life without strife. Are we informed when trade is unfair? Only when jobs are few and prices are high do we realize there is something wrong with the economy. Demanding international economic equality is good when we all benefit equally. The chance of this happening is sparse. Other countries have already isolated portions of the globe, or products and resources for their exclusive control. The United States is following the well established norm, albeit late, but also with an undoubtedly heavy hand. Translation of https://www.golos-ameriki.ru/ article may be necessary
