Are there any unbiased sources for learning about economics? I'm still fairly wet behind the ears in all this, but thrashing normies in economic debates has always been fun, and I want more information so I can handle myself better, but at the same time I don't want sources saying their right way of think is the only right way to think, since that limits the extent of how much you can learn. the majority of what I know came from "How an economy works, and why it doesnt", but partway through it I felt like it was becoming more and more biased, which bummed me out.

Get a subscription to the Economist and stop entering every debate as a way to swing your duck around; the only idiot in that situation will be you.

If someone says raising the minimum wage to $15/hr will help everyone, i'm going to destroy everything they say.

What a heap of shit. Absolutely reddit as fuck. Not that the guys who write it are dumb, but it's not going to educate dumb people. They'll grow in to redditors who think that economics is a mathematical optimisation problem and who have zero thought for the moral questions underlying everything.

Good place to start investing in small amounts? I really want to get into investing, I've bought a few books "Investing 101"-Kathy Kristof and "The Intelligent Investor"-Benjamin Graham. I've mainly been looking at CapitalOneInvesting or FolioINvesting, I've even been considering trying out apps on my phone such as Acorns or Robinhood. Any advice helps, and sorry for the bad english. It is not my first language
Robinhood of you want control and actually want to actively participate in the markets.

So I'm being trained at Jiffy Lube right now, which sucks but I just left working for my dad which sucked worse than minimum wage safeway. What should I do? I can do anything. I'm trying to be reasonable but fucking A, after losing money working for my dad for half a year and hating my other jobs and being sick and tired in general, failing school and not wanting to join the army. wat do senpai?
What I did was get really cheap rent by asking around while having a source of income. It's all about having a source of income and working is a great way. Sometimes there are times when the money is low and we have bad times.

Anyone take Provigil (Modafinil)? I took one and pulled an all nighter, went and hiked for 4 hours in the morning without feeling tired at all. Awesome experience. Hope the side effects aren't too bad.

I mostly take caffeine pills (usually take 50-100mg at a time) and drink tea, been thinking about getting an Adderall prescription or something though.
I take limitless forte and acts like caffeine and energy drinks together. Super dose of energy, to improve memory and concentration. Alternative for Modafinil.

I can get an insurance-covered prescription for Armodafinil or Modafinil: what's the advantage to shelling out money for Limitless Forte?
so is lite coins a ok thing to mine and what can you actually buy with lite coins? mfw i want to mine lite coins but don't know how
With a photon pick axe, brother.
You have to forge the ore you get, though, or it's not worth anything.

The only good thing about Litecoins is they make the people who issue Litecoins some money. Otherwise there is no reasonable justification for the Shytecoin.
On coinmarketcap you can see how all coins are doing and have done.
On coinwarz you can see current profitability of each coin if you sell directly. This does not include initial investments in equipment.
If your serious about mining, visit litecoin irc or forum to read guides or ask for help.
Id say mining is only interesting if you have access to free or very cheap electricity.

Should I go to college for a CS degree?
hardmode: If already a drop-out, broke and 30 years old.
>>1017830
Get into the military if you still can and try to become a computer systems programmer in the military. They will pay for any education and teach you CS.
No reason to go to college in your thirties, as the cost outweigh the opportunities.
