They always promised that they were working on it though. The most accepted historiographical position is that Lenin and Stalin were true believers that they would achieve communism in the next century at the latest. It was opportunists like Beria that thought it was a foolish dream, and that private property was the only hope to compete with the US.
Yeah, I'm over the whole "it's a minority of people" argument. Technically true but the others that sat around and shrugged aren't any better and possibly even worse. We are a MAGA nation with all of its weak insecurities.
Well if you could buy these genuine Trump printouts for $19.95 (plus a small handling fee), then I'd be well on my way. They're a great conversation starter for when the Johnson's come over to play 42 or whatever it is you do.
That's slightly less than the population of Danbury, TX! No way we could afford those kinds of numbers spread out among the country. Especially since many of these are educated and already speak English.
Wife has a student that was in Mexico while his parents tried to get their papers sorted out. It was her only GT student and as of tonight they let her know he had to unenroll from school.
Fun, meritocratic, country we have here.
Shit I forgot about Montreal on 8/23. My wife is currently a teacher looking to leave the profession. If she does leave that would be absolutely perfect.
Trying to get more enthusiasm for the wife for keeping the new away venue streak going. So far we've hit one a year with
2022: Houston
2023: Kansas City (bro trip, wife didn't attend)
2024: Dallas
Options are 6/7 in Colorado, 6/28 in Seattle, or 7/26 in DC. We were married at Olympic National Park, so Seattle has some sentimental value. She wants to hit DC, but damn Colorado is just so easy and nice in June.
"Oh no home is burning, well might as well try out this pie shop and see if it's better than the other 23 I've had this week to help me wash out the pain."
I'm in long on SCHD with reinvestment on but more of a "never sell" position for the distant future. The bulk non-401k is in VTI/VOO which is the better longterm play than SCHD/dividend chasing but having a dividend position is something I enjoy personally even if it isn't technically the absolute best ROI.
