  1. I am pretty sure the time frame roughly matches as the period of time A&M hasn't been forced to pay the annual salary of two head coaches? 👍 😂
  2. Like a normal person... 😉
  3. Well, now we get to see the least qualified Secretary of Defense ever confirmed in action! I wonder if Pete has the awareness right now to realize how out of his depth he really is?
  4. That's a nice shot. Thanks for letting me live vicariously! Hook'em!
  5. Which hand do you touch yourself with? That defines your "handedness..." But if you lost that hand... you WOULD adapt!
  6. I wonder how the proposed elimination of FEMA will influence the price of real estate and insurance costs for the RE industry?
  7. Not sure I never get that far in. That's the problem. You try to find bliss and you lose business, or other important calls. I have had some very odd spoof numbers lately with the same repetitive BS. With old people its a numbers game of this sort of BS. Eventually somebody's mom or dad gets confused and gets ripped off... if only there was something that could be done about it.... Honestly I could give a shit now about live folks repetitively calling me, it's the fucking endless non-sleeping AI bots.
  8. Just wait until you close in on 65... I get about 15 calls daily, about "the new Trump administrations changes to medicare..." I'm not even on medicare! But fuck, the number spoofing is mind blowing... And yes it's about folks selling your information. Why the fuck can't our government make unwanted solicitations a crime with enough penalties to stop the endless bullshit. It's the best part about going offshore or off grid. No more fucking calls that I do not fucking care about.
  9. It's impossible not to. Tariff taxes on imports cannot be absorbed by manufacturer and US importing company. Unless you think all companies have a shit ton of excess profits they can shed to absorb the new tax. Ultimate whoever buys the product will absorb the majority of the cost increase. It's just math. Market will indeed take off like a rocket if there is no inflation. But we are going to get both unemployment and inflation. And the Fed will simply not know which is the bigger shark until more data comes in. Unless brutal unemployment numbers can overwhelm inflation concerns... hopes for Fed, or Bond market pushing rates downward is a bad bet.
  10. It's all about the "dark arts!"
  11. My point is that folks with less liquidity have less means to ride out volatility when it spirals downward. I am just very uncertain that bitcoin truly insulates against it moving along with the markets downward if things go really bad? I just do not think it is a as decoupled as some assert. I have watched it decouple to some degree for certain. And the uncertainty of US fiscal policy in combination with the potential of the US government embracing of bitcoin. it seems to me that the possibility of the US embracing bitcoin is as much responible for the rise as any other factor. Or am I misreading this timeframe? As I have not been closely following at all.
  12. So I did not know who Lyn Alden was, but got into an interesting bitcoin conversation yesterday. The scarcity aspect I can buy into. And the fact that so many people are spending big bucks to mine it, shows a investment in bitcoin future. But my question is: Is bitcoin truly decoupled from the dollar? Does a stock market/economic crash send bitcoin in the opposite direction than the markets? I can't argue with the math of something increasing in price, especially in the last 6 months. The argument of the similarity to gold I understand, but my big question is the youthful ownership (generally) could make is just as susceptible to steeps selloffs alongside US stocks. Simply as young folks are always in riskier assets, and also have the least deep pockets, so the downsides can be steep. I see the upsides, I just want to be convinced more about decoupling.
  13. We will not have any inflation, and the big beautiful bill does not add to deficits. Also companies take tariff taxes out of profits and therefore consumers will not pay a dime extra! That is all... 😉 Wow... I have never channeled my inner Mike Johnson before.... Sort of fun to say a lot of shit you know isn't true!
  14. Isn't A&M's slogan sort of acceptance of mediocrity, with a dash of eternal baseless hope....
