No, there are many different kinds of stocks with different terms. Stocks are an asset with value, regardless of whether or not dividends are paid out. It's very commonly the case for shares to be issued with no dividends paid because profits are reinvested back into the company with the goal of increasing the share price for some future massive liquidation event (like an acquisition).

Shares also represent ownership in a company and thus their value is also in the leverage it can give potentially give you in said company.

In my neighborhood, I've seen some houses take down their Trump signs. Dunno if it means anything, but I don't think I had ever seen that before.

I doubt it's what OP means, but technically Republicans did get rebranded as Democrats (and vice versa) due to the political realignment of the parties after the Civil Rights Act and the Southern Strategy.

How is that pronounced? wow-wow-rohn?

Oh I'm sure, wasn't saying otherwise. The whole thing is a joke.

I believe it's saying that the drive-thru was open but the restaurant interior was closed.

Robin Williams killed himself due to early onset dementia from brain disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death.

Anarchism is not chaos, which is what it seems like you think it means. Anarchism is the opposition to hierarchy and is thus directly opposed to fascism and therefore Trump. No anarchist wants to see Trump win because it means fascism has won.

It makes a lot of sense for very rural living: you need a defense against the wild, and possibly hunting for food. I fully support that.

The general desire among Democrats is stricter regulation, which is a very reasonable thing. People should be required to prove that they can be a responsible gun owner and are mentally fit to own one. I shouldn't be able to pick one up from the sporting goods store like it's a bag of potato chips. It is an incredibly powerful tool and can easily kill others. It should be treated as such.

I actually tend to drop off my mail ballots at the local library drop box.

I wasn't suggesting making JSON "REST" APIs (not actually REST, more accurately you might call them JSON data APIs or something). I meant protocols that are specifically meant for RPC, like gRPC, JSON-RPC, etc. Or message queues like RabbitMQ.

Exactly, heavy taxation on the ultra wealthy and wealth caps are incredibly popular topics in liberal circles. I swear some people have never actually talked to a liberal and just attack some strawman they've lumped in together with conservatives.

I'm leftist and anti-capitalist, but I also recognize that most liberals are people who want the same things leftists do, but simply haven't thought deeply enough about what the true root causes of society's issues are. It's an issue of tactics rather than a fundamental disconnect in core principles and values. Ultimately they want a more equitable, less stratified society where society helps and supports the disenfranchised. The same thing leftists want. They just don't understand that capitalism has to go in order to achieve it.

Liberals, unlike conservatives, are actually generally quite reasonable people since they aren't motivated by hatred. As leftists, we should be doing everything we can to educate them and bring them into the fold, rather than tearing them down.
