  1. They are basing it on normality bias. Or at least that’s what they’ve said. What I would like to hear is a *first principles* perspective in support of a bullish posture.
  2. - All Nikkei/Japan Longs, 1991-2023
  3. I don’t even bother ordering anymore. Nowadays when I want Popeyes I just go to the one on airport and MLK and just tell them to give me a couple of biscuits and whatever else I can get for $20 cash and keep the change. Everybody wins.
  4. @TwiceHorn do you still disagree that the legal profession is in the midst of an ethical crisis? It certainly looks that way from the outside.
  5. Oh come on. Surely their first duty is to their client. 😉
  6. At least we had some good movies. I honestly think the reason why Gen Xers like Trump more than other cohorts is because when we were growing up and becoming adults, Donald Trump was the brand most synonymous with money and success, fed to us since childhood. We grew up with him and at one point or another we all got sucked into that belief or took it for granted, at least a little. Tough to deprogram that. Yeah but that one swimmer
  7. So here’s my question, and I remember arguing this point with you and others back in 2001 and 2003 w/r/t the Bush tax cuts. What happened as a result was not only predictable at the time but widely demonstrated to the point of certainty. So for people like you (and @Brisketexanand @Ghost of LL), meaning actual conservatives*, why did you fall for it? And why do Conservatives still fall for it? Was it because Republicans then and now use the word “conservative” to describe funding tax stimulus with debt and Democrats and the press let them? Is it because people just don’t have an economic vocabulary to describe what they see with their own eyes? I just don’t get it. * to his credit, McCain opposed the cuts and made the same argument I did, for the same reasons.
  8. Hard pass We traded Luka Doncic and Quinton Grimes for an aging, fragile big man, a defensive 6th man, a guy who will be out of the league by the 26-27 season, and someone in middle school. I’ve got plenty of disdain for everyone.
  9. The Deal
  10. Willa Shalit is actually super impressive in her own right.
  11. Fuck this front office and Jason Kidd and all you people and me too. Fuck everything.
  12. Today Jason Kidd said it was “kinda cool” that the Luka trade was compared to the Babe Ruth trade. They really don’t want me to root for this team anymore.
  13. Let’s see what the supreme court does- I’m looking for the rare Gorsuch face turn here.
  14. If they are all healthy? With any three of LBJ, Luka, Rui and Reaves on the floor DFS and Gilbert are going to get a LOT of open looks. I think the Lakers are going to be in the WCF maybe win it. Fuck Nico.
  15. Before Trump, Peter Navarro was, literally, a local cable-access show crank.
  16. No. That’s a popular misconception. We aren’t good at making full size trucks, we are bad at it, because of the chicken tax. We are producing high profit full size luxury trucks that are increasingly designed for a combination of consumer preferences and towing, and subsidizing the fuck out of them, despite losing utility for agriculture and most trades. That’s why older pickups with lower, longer beds are still so expensive, because we restrict the availability of the far more useful trucks sold elsewhere in the world. Unless you are talking about suburban strip mall parking lot bro-dozers, we’re like the Cuba of full size trucks. We don’t allow the market to give us the products we need, because of the chicken tax. Thats why the maverick was such an instant hit- every tradesman in America immediately recognized that it was the product they need.
