  1. Most sure where you saw that, but I would agree. What’s more significant however is the destroyed enterprise value, probably well over $1B. That’s why the conspiracy theories stick- the only way it makes financial sense is in the context of attaching the team to a new arena + casino complex, either in “North Texas” (IOW, not Dallas) but more likely in Vegas. Even if putting that play in motion was not the intent at the time of the trade, it is probably required now to salvage the investment.
  2. No more Nicos
  3. But Brisket‘S Frito Pie party was months ago.
  4. No, my friend. Citizens taking the law into their own hands are the ultimate backstop. The courts are a mutually agreeable alternative only to the extent that they are not captured by a political faction, which in this moment they are. If they can’t return to their role of politically independent arbiters, it’s just a matter of time.
  5. What do you mean? Fillmore Slim looks great!
  6. Verde already in midseason form against Vancouver
  7. I don’t think you understand: they ruined this franchise and hate us, and we want them to take it away. Also, what the fuck is a “North Texas?” Is that where 469 is?
  8. OMG a triple double mamba mentality defense wins championships no hookahs allowed
  9. Maybe he’s hurting his own butt Maybe when Trev is inevitably fired they can bring in Nico Harrison, too
  10. This is like how Doctors blame patients for malpractice claims instead of running butchers out of medicine.
  11. You are literally the only people who can do anything about the actions of people in your profession.
  12. I think he means credited in the GOP political catachism, not by people who think about economic events.
  13. Buy the ticket, take the ride
  14. Oh no. It just exits the legal arena.
  15. Are you sure? You work in a profession with extremely high barriers to entry that exists to prevent the rest of us from settling things with guns and hereditary blood feuds. We are heading in that direction because, collectively, your profession comes down on unreturned phone calls and sloppy dressers but can’t seem to police itself against existential threats to the legal system. If that’s not a crisis I don’t know what is.
  16. Eh, It is certainly makes intuitive, logical sense stripped of any context (see below), but the caveats you would have to erect around are so numerous and interdependent that it would take a couple thousand words to even gloss the conditions when that would be a true statement. Otherwise the whole idea is just a shuck and jive and that’s been well established for 50+ years. It’s “Voodoo.” even just the word “back” as used above is hugely problematic without conditions. and I don’t blame you btw, that’s why I asked about an economic vocabulary. Again, highly conditional. Marginal rates were super high (which you alluded to later), and the economy was stagnant, but more importantly we were literally on a completely different and much more restrictive monetary system. Again, it’s an intuitive comparison only if you don’t know or think about the fact that we literally don’t use the same money that we used then. They aren’t controversial in economic circles. Nobody disputes that stimulus stimulates, and also nobody other than crackpots and politicians dispute that debt-funded stimulus during expansions that are directed towards asset price support doesn’t pay for itself via job creation or revenue. in other words, it’s just a tax on future productivity. That’s been understood for 50 years, outside of Republican politics. It was even understood in the Reagan White House. Nope, it was asset prices the whole time- that’s why you could have a massive monetary expansion without cpi/ppi inflation. The vast majority never went into jobs. Had it gone into jobs, inflation would have been more of a problem from the 80s-2010’s And that’s also why, btw, you saw a huge inflation spike when they did put the money in worker’s hands in 2021, combined with a supply shock. You had a bunch of money chasing not enough stuff, so prices adjusted, the unemployment rate dropped to nearly zero, and the economy boomed. Like I said- it’s a shuck and jive. And they knew it at the time- this was crackpot stuff prior to Reagan, which is why Bush and old school fiscal conservatives were so horrified by it. But it was politically potent if you don’t know any better, and still is.
  17. I’m still thinking about it. But the reason why I brought up Japan is that scenario (and our own lost decades, punctuated by crisis from 2001-2013) makes me consider if there are fundamental changes that would make a new normal more likely than the old normal, and if so, what is that new normal going to look like and when will it have clear direction? I don’t know what will happen, but I do think a new normal is more likely than a return to the old one. I do not have any conviction yet about what it’s likely to be. I’m not worried about losing a buying opportunity. There are plenty of those every day. I’m worried about failures of imagination.
  18. Right. Default to normalcy, but with volatility. That’s what I thought you meant. What am I missing?
  19. I don’t have a thesis at this point, but do you? It sounds like you just have a default.
  20. Warren Buffet is in cash and God caught the last train for the coast, my dude.
