@BullandBaird I had a free pass in one lounge at Chicago airport and the food was shockingly awful (e.g. cold pasta with some canned corn thrown on it). @McDonalds is a much better option.
@n_grafoman@benbawan why now? There have been significant migration changes. For example Italy had good immigration growth in the last 20 years. US maybe more constant. So perhaps there's data by cohorts.
@vvksurf@predict_addict there's also geography. Here's a map by city (old data but likely not very different from today): https://t.co/5VUWqZdoO2 Northern Italian wealth is mostly along the huge flat Po valley and the "pedemontana" area. South Italy is mostly mountains (kind of West Virginia?)
@PorcoFelice@francescoweb3@DanDeFiEd well, do you also avoid soap for the pot where you cook the pasta? I guess not since it would ruin the flavor of the next pasta.
@francescoweb3@DanDeFiEd Correct. Average gas station drip coffee in the US is better than average espresso coffee in average bar in Italy. Not to mention a good share of Italians think that making coffee in a Moka, which you are not supposed to clean to make coffee taste better... is peak coffee.
@PeterSchiff Is there an inflation / dollar depreciation component to account for? Meaning: gold price is going up but there's also a cost structure to account for miners (e.g. energy prices, materials, machines) and so on with gold price lagging and catching up?
@Nostre_damus Is 800MM the amount mined in a year? Or is it the total stock of available silver for investment since I guess a share of mined silver is used for industrial production.
@ponhuis@SeniormanKelzz Italy as a country begins in 1861 with the Kingdom of Italy since before it was patch of different countries. Italy might have been a greek goddess but even ruling this out, Italy as a woman name was used during the historical phase before the unification of the country.
@aspencphoto@EmpowerHQ Hello @EmpowerHQ are you planning to raise the APY for the saving account now that the FED is raising interest rates again? I remember a few years ago this account had a higher return. Thanks.
