It’s painfully obvious he text the kiddos they’re going bombing Yemen tonight. And some 4 star general is wondering why the fuck he’s going to Chuck E. Cheese.
I mean, FFS, we’re probably a week away from bombing Chuck E Cheese.-

You are only proving the point of that last sentence you quoted. Do whatever the guys at jpm tell you with your trades. I’ll keep running my play.
And maybe…just maybe…the economy is about more than betting right on the stock market. A guy can make a lotta money betting on destruction….which is still destruction.
Celebrating a plague because you invested in coffin futures is certainly an approach.-

You are clowning yourself brisket. It doesn't take much to understand that the DJI is an very flawed index. The post I responded to was a clown post, the dip on that day was driven by one stock, which just exemplifies the underlying issue with the DJI. Like the top 4 stocks drive 25% of the index. I am sorry i guess that pointing out these very basic things triggers some ledge dwellers like you. The fact that a handful of you have to continually mischaracterize to get any traction only speaks to how weak your takes are.
Says the man who thinks that an economic approach that has the world - not just China, the whole fucking world and everyone in it - dumping 1) our assets, 2) our debt, and 3) our currency….is 10-D chess.
I’m perfectly good with where you and I stand relative to each other. And yes, I know what your point re the DJIA was…which was also a deflection from the fact that the market as a whole, not just the DJIA, has been taking a massive dump with no sign of arresting the trend.
I’m going to nod my head largely in agreement with what the guys at JPM are observing, not a self-styled brain genius on surly who thinks the exact opposite. -

Correct. What we need is for them to start losing their jobs and off the charts inflation. Hitting them from every direction.
Recessions sure as shit hit people with no 401k.
The world is 1) fleeing US investments, 2) fleeing US treasuries, and 3) fleeing and weakening the dollar. JPM is up to a 90% likelihood of a recession coming right soon.
But see, none of them understand the DJIA and smart trade policy like Ana does. The genius outcome is headed our way any minute now. Annnnnnnnny minute now….. -

Even when EVERY SINGLE AGENCY has the same function - HR/Payroll? So you need hundreds of HR/Payroll offices? And they don't share any information? That's extremely inefficient.
Why not have one central HR/Payroll office that handles those functions instead of hundreds of them - each with X number of VPs, Y number of Directors, Z number of managers?
^^^^
These are the EXACT same people who shrieked incessantly (without basis, mind you) that the Obama admin “IS GONNA CREATE A NATIONAL ID CARD! THE GUBMINT WILL KNOW ALL YOUR INFO! IT’S THA MARK OF THE BEAST!”
Exhibit infinity about how they never, ever had a problem with an expansive, all-knowing, all ruling federal government. They just wanted it done by THEIR guy.
Oh, and the reason that we don’t want every agency sharing all data about everyone is because no, they don’t need it all. And as for me, I actually DO believe the government’s access to and use of our personal data shouldn’t be more expansive than it needs to be. Amazingly, it turns out I am and always was more libertarian than all the folks who claimed to be libertarian when Obama was around, but now can’t gobble enough authoritarian cock.-

Trying to absolve themselves of responsibility. Only morons didn't see this coming so they're either stupid or just assholes who thought they would escape unharmed. Or both.
Yep. Translation: I thought he’d engage in targeted insane fuckery against people OTHER than me and my interests, and I was super-ok with that. Which means you’re a shitty person.-

Plenty of healthy or healthier meals you can make much cheaper than processed junk. Beans, rice, frozen veggies, chicken, ground beef, etc. There are entire subreddits dedicated to eating cheap and healthy and those meals cost a lot less than processed shit. My family was in the grocery business. You cannot imagine how much SNAP was spent on shit that provided no nutritional value and does not fill you up by poor people. Sugary drinks alone account for about 10% of all SNAP spending.
I can afford to buy what I want. I can tell you I spend way, way less on food now that I eat healthier and cut out all drinks with any calories.
Yes, if you want 100 percent organic with proteins from Central Market, it can be expensive. But some rice, chicken thighs, and frozen veggies you can buy at any store in the country will be a hell of a lot healthier and cheaper than processed bullshit. And water is free whereas your Mountain Dew costs about a buck a serving off the shelf.
You skipped over WHY there are whole subreddits dedicated to that.....because people without that info DON'T KNOW. In fact, like most cases of basic ignorance, they don't even know what they don't know. I've perused some of those subreddits, and find it objectively fascinating; someone is genuinely learning and having their eyes opened when people explain that if you buy whole chickens/chicken parts and roast them in the oven yourself, that both 1) saves money and 2) is much healthier than buying the frozen bag full of processed chicken. But also realize that for every person who stumbles onto that subreddit and asks a question, there are 100 who don't.
Knowledge is a resource. Time is a resource. Money is a resource. For those who don't have much of any of those, and have never been shown how to manage what they DO have of those resources....fuck, man. They are in for a world of hurt. When you realize that better than 90% of America has less knowledge and money than 99% of the posters on this board, it's humbling shit. For a lot of America, "choose not to be fat" is as pointless a berating as "choose not to be poor." They don't have the first fucking clue how to do anything BUT that.

Apparently, they are hung up on the request that the Prime Minister’s deputy dress in a Sailor Moon costume. Also, Trump insists on them serving well done Wagyu steaks at negotiation dinners, but the Japanese chefs are balking.
1) the Japanese have NO credibility pushing back on anyone's kink
2) yeah, overcooking steaks should be deemed an act of war, so there's that.

I had this argument yesterday and my buddy was like well if China’s economy is in trouble also and I was like yeah maybe so but China don’t give a fuck. They literally welded apartment doors shut during Covid. Their leadership will make them enjoy pain that our soft asses can’t.
This. Never get involved in a "to the pain!" dispute with an opponent who has this guy's pain tolerance:
And no worries....if it gets too painful for them and there's some unrest, they can run the one-two punch of 1) Tiananmen square their asses, and 2) start a distracting war with a neighbor, maybe Taiwan.

Trump treats countries like a 6-times bankrupt real estate developer treats contractors. Whoops.
FIF accuracy. Because I know of a full spectrum of developer types. The ones that have been around forever, who thrive when times are good, and manage to survive when times are bad (because dudes, that market be cyclical) generally treat their contractors alright. Because maybe on THIS deal, the project ended up being one where the contractor took it in the shorts.....which is okay, and he won't end up in litigation or a major dispute with the developer, because he knows that on the next deal, he'll be treated fairly, and will have a chance to make a decent profit. Repeat dealings mean stability, reliability, and risk avoidance.
There are shitty developers who are combative with everyone, and try to fuck over everyone. Those developers don't seem to last very long.

Ours was at the intersection by the prison farm. It doesn't get much more Texan than that
Did we know each other growing up? I recall us stopping to buy shrimp right by there.

There’s a lot to be pissed off about reading that story, but what really got me is how shitty that CBP officer was. Since the major Canadian airports are pre-cleared, that asshole lives and works in Canada as a guest of the Canadian government. You would think most normal people would have more respect for people that they interact with at the grocery store, Tim Horton’s, etc.
Our national motto -- or at least of a sizable portion of our nation now -- is "emboldened assholery." All brakes/checks are OFF. These folks are now free to be as huge an asshole as they ever dreamed of being.

I have one pop up about 1/4-mile from my office every summer.
And man, a Gulf coast variation of that....I presume that every family living along the coast in the 70s-80s had a "shrimp guy," right? And by that, I mean a dude who would park a van, with a couple of large coolers, at a particular spot on the road -- usually a state highway or FM road -- put out a handpainted plywood sign that said "Shrimp $4 lb" or something like that. And your dad somehow knew when he would be there, and y'all would swing by and pick up 5 lbs or so for all your shrimp consumption purposes. This was a totally normal and legit way to buy shrimp....in fact, buying shrimp at a store was for elitist yankee bastards or somesuch, I think.

"By predicting event X -- before it even begins."
Yes, I mean....that IS how predictions work. Now personally, my preferred practice is to predict things after they've already happened. For example, I predict that Texas will sweep Auburn in baseball last weekend. I also predict that Pope Francis will die right after Easter. PRO: my accuracy rate is 100%. CON: the timing of my predictions doesn't leave a lot of room for people to act on them. Oh well, everything has a downside.

Crystal and Trappey's are the only acceptable topping for mustard/collard greens.
Trappey's on your greens, and an extra splash or two on the accompanying cornbread, is winning.

K-12 for me. Even was an altar boy (no touchy) for a minute. I can't do the celibacy thing, though, and for that reason, I'm out.
Oh....you think that they observe those rules when they don't want to. How....quaint.
If you don't think there's been some serious headboard-banging at the Papal Apartments, you haven't been paying attention.

As I was catholic educated, I think it only right for me to toss my hat into the ring. I look alright in funny hats, I suspect I'd like Italy, and my platform of turning "the body of Christ" into "the delicious, tender smoked body of Christ" by changing the eucharist to brisket samples instead of those nasty little bread cracker disc things, should be a winner.

Markets still falling like whoa
in Business and Markets
Posted
Trust in a market and economy is definitely built in long-term timeframes.
Trust in a market and economy - like trust in anything or anyone - can be destroyed in 24 hours. Less, even.
Trust destruction? Going swimmingly.
Any inkling of even a coherent foundation for building a long-term trust? Nope.
You are siding with the economic strategy of a man who literally made up a fake authority that is an anagram of his own name to cite in his book. This is fantastic. That you are all-in on it with zero chance of ever admitting you might have it wrong makes it even better.
