Off topic, but you really think there arnt automatic turrets, seems very feasible today, especially in a situation like a sewer where you really dont have to worry about shooting the wrong (moving) thing.

I'll say that wasn't my experience, it was just about trying to verify my position, but maybe they decided to look into other stuff, they certainly didnt tell me or take my phone.

Doesn't some other countries already do this? I was asked about my LinkedIn for a work visa in Canada.

Can you restate that? I'm not sure what you're saying tbh. You want intraday news on bonds or some other security?

Small correction, but generally someone like that exercises their options and sells them for profit, keeping their shares that they've had since whenever. In this case, he exercised the options, sold those shares, and then lowered the amount of shares he had beyond that to the absolute minimum (250k).

Also from the first link:

Popular Physical Delivery futures contracts include (but are not limited to) CME Currencies (Euro, JPY, & GPB), CBOT Treasuries (2 yr, 5yr, 10 yr, & 30 yr), NYMEX Energies (Crude Oil, Natural Gas, RBOB Gasoline, & Heating Oil), CME Live Cattle, CBOT Grains (Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Soybean Meal, Soybean Oil, Rice, and Oats), COMEX Metals (Gold, Silver, & Copper), and ICE Softs (Sugar, Cotton, Cocoa, Coffee and OJ).

There are plenty of physical delivery futures still in existence.

It also makes it hard for people like me who are far above the average height to even fit in a seat. If I'm forced to travel for work, I have to either be very uncomfortable or pay out of my pocket because the company doesn't want to pay for first class. My knees dig into that little metal rod the seat back pouches have or they go into the armrest in front of me, it's absurd how small cabins are now.

It worked once in medievalish Italy (not sure how you classify the period going from ~0-1800 A.D.). All houses had to be a certain color, for instance. I think it looked kinda cool, but obviously choice is often considered the greatest of all goods.

He was like essential hip college freshman reading, which often comes with being hated for being popular, weird, abstract, etc. I havn't actually read the book, but I've certainly heard about it.
