  1. I bought a new Refrigerator, Truck Battery and Truck tires in January to get ahead of tariffs. Tires made in USA but rubber is imported.
  2. I can count to potatoe
  3. The greatest trick the devil pulled wasn’t convincing people that he didn’t exist but convincing them a man who embodies every deadly sin was their new savior.
  4. and it was claimed you could get COVID from a fart.
  5. Have you been watching True Blood?
  6. Rash of unexplained fires and some epic insurance claims.
  7. So the inverse would be to stop testing for cancer, autism or covid and then the statistics can show that you fixed the problem.
  8. Yeah, I agree. The bond weakness is a sign of state actors with Trillions and hundreds of Billions pulling out of the US Dollar.
  9. Optimism is evaporating except for Fox News audience that doesn’t look at their accounts since they are not reporting anything on how bad the policies are working. go to their website and no news about the economy or markets. I heard that they took the ticker off the tv channel. covering Pope’s death gives them temporary cover. I have the same feeling as February 2020. The market is going to get even worse.
  10. Did a lot of work Saturday. Went and took a video after
  11. Wakeland High School is in Frisco. Wakefield must be in Friso.
  12. So I bumped my head on this and cut my head. Fuel is being delivered but I have a stuck float in the secondary and flooding at times. That’s the next project
  13. Built and Installing the AN fuel line now. Wish me luck
  14. So I wrote my friend RFK Jr and told him I’d written the perfect conspiracy post and he said I had not written the perfect conspiracy post because it didn’t mention vaccines, the deep state, flat earth, pedophiles or pizza parlors.
  15. I saw 500M total Trump claiming 2B per day https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/16/us-customs-tariffs-revenue-generated-since-april-5.html
  16. I saw a stat lately that the consecutive intraday swings like we’re seeing only happen in the big market events like 2020, 2008 and 1987.
  17. You live in Texas and you’re casting stones at Florida? /jk maybe not
  18. Will they get an F on their Economics final? will there be any jobs for them when they graduate? who cares? Now do Russia.
  19. Bonus FAFO: A lot of the people affected are retirees. They have burned through their retirement saving at an accelerated pace and will be left to outlive their savings. Just when they rely even more on Social Security and Medicare it is getting ready to go *poof*.
  20. No one said affordable. The post I responded to said the housing market is going down. They are different things. It's making the property values drop. So the asset part of the equation goes down in value but all the recurring expenses go up. So technically the property is cheaper to buy but total cost of ownership is up. Some owners are losing enough equity to owe more on their loans than it is worth to sell in the current market. Properties will be abandoned and then it will affect the neighbors too.
  21. Apparently it is in Florida. Insurance rates are skyrocketing and the flood plains are being expanded because of the continued effects of global warming. Older houses are uninsurable and whole neighborhoods are in new floodplain zones. If you pull a permit or rebuild you have to raise the foundation several feet to get insurance and even then it's through the roof. 90% of insurance lawsuits are filed in Florida and insurance companies are going bankrupt. Add on top of that people not making premium payments. https://news.fiu.edu/2022/the-big-reason-florida-insurance-companies-are-failing-isnt-just-hurricane-risk-its-fraud-and-lawsuits https://www.newsweek.com/florida-home-insurers-worst-claim-payment-rates-2057407 Combine that with rising property taxes and people are literally and figuratively underwater in their homes.
