  1. username checks out.
  2. I did not catch the name of the guy on Bloomberg last night driving home from work around 7:45 pm, but the man was definitely onboard the “stagflation pain is a-coming” train. He did say that he does not think the tariff pain will really hit till second quarter 2026. It just feels like the market will go up and Wall Street will keep dancing on the deck of the Titanic. I told my adult kids and several of my friends who don’t watch the news at all that that they would be well-served to immediately go into asset preservation mode, NOT undertake new debt, keep your old car and pay off every credit card now in case you lose your job soon - and to grow your emergency savings as much as possible. I’d rather be a mistaken old crank if I’m wrong than see people I like and love suffer more next year if that could have been avoided some if they’d taken different steps this year
  3. kinda obligatory
  4. Bob and Imma wrestle with this every day.
  5. And I bought 9,000 more shares of IBRX - because Ani needs company. Also, wanted my average cost basis in the mid 2s.
  6. My UEC play last October at $8.30 is now $10.51. Sumpin’ up with uranium stonks. Only 20k in it so it can ride for years upsy-downsy - and I will leave my kids that and the rest of the brokerage account when I die. I am, however, going to spend the entirety of the IRAs and 401(k)s on hookers and blow. That’s cheaper than a second wife, right?
  7. As it’s past 5 o’clock, and with the perspicacity provided by the cocktail hour, maybe Trump is playing 5D chess with India! On one hand, he is slamming them with tariffs. On the other hand, he is dramatically raising the price of beef….hhmmmmm
  8. Trump should probably just declare war on everybody but us, so then I won’t have to figure out which of the few remaining countries don’t hate us.
  9. Apparently not. it may be puffery, but if they can produce enough missiles to get to five a day, at the end of the month they can fire 30 missiles at 5 refineries. I don’t know the technical specs, but I’m not sure Russian air defense can shoot down 30 missiles. I’d be happy to see five refineries put out of business, and the next month another five refineries put out of business. I would love to know the capability of Russian air, defense systems. If they can shoot down 30, or they can shoot down 75, whatever… I can’t imagine those idiots will be able to stop all of them. And once they find out how many you need to overload the defense, send more than that at each refinery every month.
  10. So - Carthage? (I know, Scipio Africanus was 200 years before Nero)
  11. Just win baby! #burntorangelife
  12. We thank you for your service.
  13. I have not one clue whether this is total BS or has some authenticity, so I’m just putting it out here for anyone who wants to track it down. If it’s true, we’ll have word by tomorrow certainly.
  14. Well, if he didn’t do that, he probably did something else.
  15. Let me guess, this will happen in two weeks…
  16. So …. China and Putin have it. Great.
  17. No matter how many drones were sent at the refineries, it remains true that demand for Russian gasoline domestically goes up this time of year due to vacations. and more importantly, the harvest season and the high demand for agricultural fuel. Clearly, that demand will not be met, even if some small percentage of refinery damage is fixed ASAP. I am not an oil refinery guy, but I can’t imagine that those multiple balls of fire which were refineries can be fixed in a month or two given the lack of foreign expertise and equipment. I also assume they will not hit them again until they’re almost restored. If a drone can wreck shop, I imagine ukraine’snew missiles will do a much better job..
  18. Well, the Senate would not have allowed him (or anyone ) to testify anyway, so that really isn’t nothing 🍔 But Kamala? This here seems an awful lot like a known-known.
  19. I respectfully disagree. They will destroy the economy - and then the new Trump packed supreme court will realize that the founders wanted all of those “liberty of contract” cases to be followed. So whether black or brown or white, you can always work in freedom factories, or freedom fields - where you will be paid for your 60 hour six day work week in TrumpCoin - to be used at the Trump store.
  20. MAGA Counterpoint:
  21. ….and just like that, the orange man solved de minimus trade items being too expensive - and the problem was gone… If they won’t ship it to you, you can’t pay an increased price due to the tariffs! Art. Of. The. Deal.
  22. I wonder if Singulair would have helped? Singular suppresses the production/formation of histamine - which for me works far better than trying to treat the presence of histamine after it is formed. A decade ago it gave me a new lease on life dealing with my adult asthma in pollen season spring on my street full of oak trees. Shit works. Bigly.
  23. in six months, much of the nation will have 24/7 free time from their former employment to participate in protests.
