  1. But on the bright side, a flood of new entrants into the private sector will drive wages down and profits up. That's a win for everyone! Note: By everyone, I mean the Top 10%
  2. No, probably one of those free giveaway Lucky Ducky Condoms t-shirts
  3. I would love to have heard what Joy Division would have done had Ian Curtis not killed himself, but in the flip side, I'm a huge New Order fan and so it's a bit of a Sofia's choice. With that in mind, I'll go with Elliot Smith.
  4. I tried that coming back across the border from Matamoros during Spring Break '87 when the agent asked if aI was an American citizen. Let's just say I wouldn't advise it ... lesson learned.
  5. What synthetic "stuff" out of Louisiana would have fentanyl? Are we talking synthetic weed, or bath salts?
  6. The ones I've seen don't seem particularly wealthy
  7. The Internet never forgets
  8. This is an interesting take. Could a SWF act in a venture capital capacity? IE instead of research grants, could it provide research capital in exchange for equity? How does IP work at public Universities now? Does the school, or government own the IP from it's students/faculty research?
  9. I'm 100% sure there will be grifting. It's the government after all, but beyond that, what are they used for, why were they created and what are the dangers?
  10. Joseph Randle - the pride of Okie Lite
  11. I just read that Trump has ordered the Treasury and Commerce Departments to start a US sovereign wealth fund. Trump orders creation of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund On the surface, this sounds interesting, but I'm certainly not an expert in this area. What's are the primary goals of a SWF? Are they to help augment tax revenue? Pay for entitlement programs? Or for some other reason? What are some of the pros and cons? IE why would we not already have one?
  12. CSB/ I met him in Vegas once and he was actually very nice.
  13. I knew he had great straight line speed, but what's really impressed me is the speed of his downward spiral. #winning

    Grammys

    Lol, I didn't check the date before clicking and was surprised a Grammy thread made it 3 pages. Then I realized it was 3 pages in 3 years.
  15. FIFY
  16. Appropriate for Joe Walsh and the Super Bowl
  17. Hopefully we can get this wrapped up in the next couple of months. I'm planning to go to Canada this summer and it would be nice if I don't have to use my passport
  18. Cave to what? Has the administration issued any formal demands of Canada?
  19. The EV industry is a good case study on tariffs, because while the US would want to protect against a flood of cheap cars from China, the domestic industry relies heavily on rare earth metals from...checks notes...China
  20. Caption is wrong. Gilmore was not in the original lineup. Piper at the Gates of Dawn was released prior to him joining the band.
  21. What are you babbling about? What did I tell people would work?
  22. Have you considered going back to your cesspool CR? The adults are talking
  23. Sounds like it's time to adjust my international fund portfolio
  24. I don't understand the economics of it, but I'm assuming the US Dollar being the world's reserve currency is a big deal, so levying tariffs on BRICS countries in an effort to get them to back the dollar could make some sense. But, putting tariffs on our close allies, and largest trading partners (Mexico and Canada) makes much less sense to me.
