  1. Because it’s a transfer from future to present and represents structural expansion of the deficit and the debt. Ands for your “both sides,” I should hope that I’ve made it clear over the last 23 years that I don’t care at all about any of that.
  2. Off topic, but it always makes me laugh the way political “conservatives” pat themselves on the back for wealth transfers just like the most profligate big spending progressives. Money machine go BRRRRRRRRRRRRR
  3. And also don’t put sugar in your cornbread
  4. This is correct. Prices are the last thing to move for businesses with the scale to find other economies. In fact, large companies will often use a temporarily higher cost environment to lower prices and consolidate market share.
  5. I think you are conflating the monetary phenomenon of inflation, which is the result of consumers having more money to compete for available goods and results in the discovery of new clearing prices, with the experience of “inflation”, which involves the perception of lost buying power.
  6. “Middle aged?” That’s a stretch, even for South Austin’s mom.
  7. That looks like Tune Road in El Prado. I’ve seen 40 year old Corollas and old VWs navigate shit like that, and an Outback could do it in melting snow/mud.
  8. It’s hard to even call it an acquisition, more of an assisted suicide.
  9. Um, anybody want to tell him?
  10. For the younger folks: Ekhard Pfeiffer was the CEO of Compaq during the period that doomed the company, who was known for driving like a dickhole on the Houston campus
  11. Speakers race gonna be 🔥🔥 (and the media’s fault) What’s his @
  12. 2 months in the hospital with C Diff? Holy shit indeed. Are you out of the woods?
  13. Somewhere Ekhard Pfeiffer is revving his engine angrily at one of his own employees for crossing the street on foot.
  14. 25 years later it’s still wild to me that Compaq paid $300mm for Zip2. imagine explaining to somebody who was born at any time since the day Zip2 was founded what that company was.
  15. I would bet folding money that nobody on this board has spent more time eating restaurant food in more 3rd and 4th tier towns in the lower 48 than I have (including Weatherford, Granbury, Mineral Wells, Cleburne, etc), but I’m also capable of understanding that struggling local economies aren’t representative of growing ones. There is no such thing as the “$2.31/hr + tip model.” There are a few places with very few opportunities where an employer can get away with paying the minimum wage. In most places that are hiring, they can’t. I’m a big fan of that model- also makes it easier to hold onto line cooks. Tipping is bad for business.
  16. I have no idea about weatherford, but for the 70% of Texans who live in competitive labor markets you can’t hire servers for that. You keep talking about the “$2.31/hr+tips model.” In competitive markets (ie, the ones where the jobs are, and the workers, and the customers, and the success) it’s usually more like $10-12/hr plus tips.
  17. Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for stating what needed to be said.
  18. Local frog starting to question decision to give scorpion a ride
  19. now now boys, you can both be cunts
  20. I heard a funny story about a guy saying that to a hooker during the Money 2020 conference in Vegas a few years ago, and she said “do you work in IT?”
