  1. Not really. A good chunk of plans pass the investment and recordkeeper costs on to participants. Plans wont shut down but I could see a number of them being funded by employee deferrals only for the next few years. I was out of the industry in 2008 and overall, that debacle cleared up relatively quickly as compared to the actual economic pain that was endured. in 2020 and 2021 a lot of employers slimmed down their workforces but kept the employer contributions flowing, even if on a reduced basis. Those rebounded slightly in 2023 and 2024. The key here will be how long this shit lasts.
  2. I'm not sure I'd trust that Jim Jeffries is a well-informed kind of guy.
  3. I'm surprised they let the women in the room.
  4. I work in retirement plan consulting. We started a firm wide list of clients that are changing or outright stopping their employer match or profit sharing contributions. It is not a short list and we only started compiling it in August.
  5. Haha. When I first saw that movie, I did get a flashback to my childhood. You know, minus the whole internment camp and explosions and shit.
  6. You do realize that the contract for the Kennedy Center probably has much the same language about Trump, right?
  7. Remind me again why we don't see video or pictures of Antifa firebombing everywhere in Portland? Or why Trump's Chairman of the Board of Peace ramblings didn't make the evening news? Or Trump's "I hate everyone" vitriol at Kirk's memorial service? Yeah, no.
  8. Not me. I got a weird rash after driving one of those.
  9. Fun fact. The Finns had really good success with the Buff. They claimed a kill ratio of 26:1 versus Soviet planes.
  10. It is indeed a 51. The 47 is a beautiful beast in it's own right. EDIT, Jimmy it is loud but a there is something incredible about a 1,500 HP machine. There's nothing else like it.
  11. I was around 10 years old and my dad played on a softball team that did a fair amout if travel on weekends for tournaments when we lived in Oregon. We were at a sports complex near Boeing Field, south of downtown Seattle. The team was in between games so we were sitting in some bleachers watching another game and eating something. Planes were occasionally taking off and landing in the distance. Eventually, I could hear something coming toward us. Now, keep in mind, 10 year old Macanudo was a huge WWII nerd. I mean, I still am but I was then too. I realized what was coming at us and I jump up, screaming that a P-51 is flying right at us. They're looking at me like the crazy-eyed 10 year old that I was. The Mustang comes at us low, barely above tree level and then blows over us at 350+ MPH, waggles it wings, banks up in an aileron roll then heads out over Puget Sound. My dad pats me on the back and says with a smile "Bet you didn't expect to see that today!" It's still one of the coolest things I have ever seen in person.
  12. That was the joke....
  13. Is that his mom? Because it looks like it could be his mom.
  14. He's already been named the Chairman of the Board of Peace. He didn't want it but everyone asked him too.
  15. If you've never seen a P-51 up close and personal you should. Now imagine you're flying that while being shot at by an angry German.
  16. Jesus II: Electric MAGA Bugaloo -
  17. The joke is on them. We're all as happy as a dog with two tails.
  18. If only someone knew the recipe for Texadelphia's mustard blend.
  19. That's what she said.
  20. Maybe we'll get lucky and Trump will feel a bit randy only to jump in the ring but take a folding chair to noggin. While Trump is legitimately unconscious on the mat, JD Vance will then come flying off the top rope with an attempted reverse 450 but instead only make it a 420, knocks himself silly all while the entrie country is watching live on Trump TV, I mean CBS.
  21. This is true. I know that this is part of me getting older and just not giving a shit about a lot anymore but don't find myself looking forward to football season, individual games or even really watching games.
  22. If you like WWII stuff, Mark Felton does some really good stuff.
  23. That's not what I heard.
  24. Might be a good time to go watch the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and pause the video at a certain point. If you know what I mean.
  25. Depends. Is Survivor a repeat episode this week or a new one?
