West Virginia boasts the highest coal production per capita in the United States. Living as a descendant of Italian immigrants that moved to the US midwest to mine coal, I'm pissed but this is what a majority of modern miners voted for. We may as well go back to the days of coal miners being the exploited labor of millionaires(billionaires).

I hope this doesn't come off as being snarky because I'm trying to give genuine advice from the audience you're probably trying to target but it'd be a good idea to include this bit anytime you're presenting that graphic:

The fear and greed index is based off of technical measurements of various active markets.

Very broadly, it is telling you whether or not the financial class, investors, stock traders, corporations significantly involved in that, your 401k managers... are acting fearful or greedy.

It does a good job of summarizing what I'm supposed to gather from the index.

I believe you, but having never encountered this index or representation before. I have no fucking clue what it's trying to tell me. Is it showing whether the public is fearful of the economic momentum or feeling greedy? Greed doesn't seem like a good thing.

I bet she's just a moron

I literally just argued the opposite with my FiL. I think property should be illegal to inherit. If you have multiple children, you usually end up with a disagreement on what to do with it and how to split it up. It allows the consolidation of property for wealthy families.

You're just factually wrong. Now you may have an argument that someone that's driving drunk may be a better driver than someone that's a bad driver while sober, but alcohol impairment reduces inhibitions, increases reaction time, impairs motor control, and alters judgement. That objectively makes you a more dangerous driver compared to your sober self.

You're the one making claims lol. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone paid to spread disinformation. Or maybe you volunteer. I've got not idea. Either way, since you made the claim, the burden of proof falls on you. We'll wait.

Okay less than a day old account with an adjective_noun username. Cause you're argument is surely being made in good faith lol

I mistyped. It was $330 and it's a manufacturer recertified drive with a 2 year warranty and was only spinning for 3 hours and spun up 4 times. So I don't plan on it failing for awhile. I'll eventually buy more in the future so they can be configured for RAID.

Sorry, check my edit!

I just purchased a 28TB hard drive for ~~$230~~ $330. It would have taken 5.6 million of these IBM 350 units to equal that.

To put it into perspective, that would be more than 2 football fields in height, width, and depth (725ft³). And buying all of those units would have cost $896 billion in 1956. Adjusted for inflation that's $10.48 trillion.

Edit: Sorry to get anyone's hopes up. I mistyped $330 but if you're wanting to get a mass storage drive at the price I did, I got it from Server Part Deals on eBay. They're manufacturer recertified so essentially brand new and come with a 2 year warranty. (At least mine did.) My drive had 3 hours of spin time and had been spun up 4 times according to the drive health report. The way they can sell these for so cheap is by buying deprecated spares from massive data centers in bulk and recertifying them to resell.
