  1. The R votes on this really tell the story of true MAGA support - R's voted 196-11 to table, or they have 11 votes in their own caucus to support removal of Johnson. I know this is just hopeful thinking, but I'd like to see this threat just go away and allow the house to actually get some legislative work done. Greene could well get reelected, but maybe even in her own district voters will start to realize how ineffective she is - but maybe they like having a loud mouth schnook; and to quote Foghorn Leghorn - she is about as smart as a bowling ball.
  2. Scared money don't make money. The best time to invest in BRK was yesterday, it will still be true tomorrow, as it was last week, last year, etc. Make it easy on yourself, $ cost average in over 6-12 months put 10-20% of the amount you want to invest every month, that way you avoid peaks and valleys relative to putting it in in one or two big chunks. Past performance is no guarantee of future results; beware the Wally/Reverse Wally curse
  3. I am starting to think that BRK.A/B has the same idea about buying shares when Warren does die. I mean that $190 billion in cash would certainly be available to support buying into the distresssed mark & last I read Warrens' stake in worth under $140 billion. Damn it they are going to front run me on this last of his lifetime event.
  4. Wrong meme - should be the hard landing, because the Fed missed the airport to bring it in softly & now they are flying around and will slam it right into a slamming us all right into a recession. WIll the Fed ever figure out that driving, while looking in the rearview mirror means you should ease up sooner than you think. Dumbest thing ever was to keep stimulating as long as they did. Oh well, we need some sort of a reset anyway.
  5. Major props for the slide rule; I wish I could find one like they had in the school when they taught how to use them. It was about 6 foot long and at least 2 foot wide, that would be a cool garage/techcave addition.
  6. LOL - great headline reading there. The actual answer is somewhere in those articles that you scanned Buffett told shareholders at Berkshire's annual meeting that his view on Apple's business hadn't changed and that the tech giant will likely remain the conglomerate's largest stock holding at the end of 2024. crowdsourced from Investopedia fwiw they did sell their entire position in Paramount full dislosure: I am sitting on my entire cash hoard (somewhat less than $90 billion) and waiting to buy on the dip when Old Uncle Warren kicks it, but that may be almost 10 years if his goal is to live longer than Charlie
  7. Hi Patrick, Do you enjoy being the golf villain?
  8. Mobile home park with lots of damage, and a FedEx facility damage that reportedly trapped about 50 workers inside for over an hour https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2024/05/trapped-workers-at-fedex-building-escape-after-reported-tornado.html
  9. It makes me nervous to see Nicole posting in this thread; wondering if maybe she has something to do with the person passing away. (and just to be clear about the death pool rules - no points are awarded for a death, if you are involved the event. just sayin')
  10. This hits close to home, well close to my first apartment in Houston over 40 years ago. That apartment is long gone & has been replaced by an IKEA, but still - damn, an argument over an order at McDonald's, I guess no onions means no onions
  11. If I recall right, he went to pursue fitness, like super for t and it hurt his swing. He had already been super successful, and Tiger was already becoming dominant, so why fight to get your A-game back to only be second best.
  12. Don't ask me why I found this - but here is Boobsert with Mrs Gaetz Interesting pose - completely empty room and they are doing the standing snuggle
  13. Anyone else thinking that ol' Three Toes has figured out she gets a lot of attention by threatening to make the motion to vacate; and she knows that it is not likely to pass. So why not just keep making threats, but then back away for some made up reason, only to rinse wash repeat the next week.
  14. Jordan doing Jordan things (remember when that meant he made a 60+ footer, or chipped in a couple of times) well today it means he is +1 so for and will need to go -3 or 4 for the rest of the round to make the cut. this is where his fan club is these days; watching and hoping he makes the cut Go Jordan Go, birdie man birdie
  15. We still have 1 tube tv in our basement, I think it was purchased in the late 1990's. And yes there is a VCR player connected to it, though I am not sure the VCR works. There is also an answering machine connected to a "base" cellular phone that replaced our actual landline about 12 years ago. Mrs Fairway really likes both of these, though she never listens to the answering machine, and I don't either because I hate even having it. and I haven't give out that number in 20 years. Use your own definition of old tech
  16. quite the subtle humblebrag right there - well done Mr Upper middle class or better upbringing. Bet you were also early adapter color and then a little later with cable TV
  17. I hate this market - just sayin' I've lost on hedging, all the while watching some of my investments decline. The system is rigged, because I don't know how to bet against my own investing.
  18. After Xwitter was Elon'd, I stopped following Elon but that didn't work since half of the people on there retweet his crap; so the second step was to get off Xwitter myself. Best thing I ever did, about once a month I'll get on and look at what a few accounts have posted - but I think whatever I am missing out on is much less than dealing with all the crap that is on it. Anyway, I use Surly Daily New & 6th Street as a news aggregator - if it is important it will be here
  19. I would like to thank MGT for bringing cooperation and the ability to compromise back to the House; not that she does either of them, or comprehends what it would mean to actually govern a diverse populous, but rather because her idiocy has pushed others to realize that they have to be willing to compromise or the idiots will gain an even bigger voice.
  20. Done - thought I'd look to see how much I was left at the end of April, the answer is zero
  21. And he hasn't delivered student debt forgiveness to all, I think that drove a large number of young voters (I have a few in my family). Sure he as tried to piecmeal it but that hasn't been what he promised. I've heard there is weakening support in minorities (gender and race); again the young voters on campus seem to be the backbone of the Palestinian support which is a strike against. The shift doesn't have to be that great, if MI/Penn/GA - that flips 50 electoral college votes, and that would take less than a million voters to not show up. I am truly afraid of that type of outcome.
  22. I have been debating updating this - but I'll do it by answering this With the Feds (DOJ/FBI) settling a week or two ago, the claims settlements have crossed the $billion threshold as quickly summarized below MSU $500 million USA gymnastics/US Olympic committee - $380 million DOJ (FBI) - $138.7 million It is amazing that so many people, in so many organizations knew, and didn't want to rock the boat or just couldn't believe that someone with Nassar's credentials was that bad. Nothing could be more true than the saying "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good people do nothing - Edmund Burke" A billion - and when the ugliness was finally examined under a bright light it showed that all of these organizations had deep issues within their corporate governance, compliance and reporting structures. With people, or groups of people, mostly worried about their institutions, reputations. I hope that the victims can find a way to move forward with their lives, sure the money helps, and because it was a large group to support each other. But I will never forget the story of what is believed to be the first victim, or the first victim that told others. It was a neighbor girl who babysat for the Nassar's, and he abused her in his basement. She told her father, and he did not believe her; she continued to babysit as she thought she was protecting his kids. And when it all came out, her dad took his own life because of the demons he had from missing his chance. There is only 1 more post to come, and I hope that ends this thread and it can be closed forever.
  23. I will take "Things that can't be unseen" for $1,000 - HOLEY SHIT
