  1. But there might be a riot in the chips and snacks aisle.
  2. I totally agree. I was just taking that number from another source and rolling with it. But even if 1/10 that, the problem still remains. Putin has a problem. One, he doesn’t have enough troops to go after a large amount of heavily armed deserters. He needs them for his meat grinding. Two, I’m sure Putin does not want his country to know - or other soldiers or potential conscripts to know - that one can simply say “fuck it” and walk away from the front line with your weapon. Three, that the only thing keeping the deserters from arrest or death or being sent back to the frontline is the fact that they are heavily armed - with the best kit they could select/steal after their platoon mates were killed. This means that for their continued survival, they must make raids on the MOD ammunition logistics system to replenish ammo. I refuse to believe it impossible that at least some of them are doing this.
  3. Maybe it’s just me, but the possibility of needing a windshield repair is really one of those not rare unicorn events that Tesla should have expected to occur with a significant number of vehicles. Perhaps that is a subject that should’ve been mentioned prior to these people buying their cyber truck. If only there were attorneys who specialize in suing manufacturers on behalf of very large numbers of people who complain about the same thing.
  4. it also means that any Russian military patrols have to be on the lookout for bands of armed deserters who might light them up in an ambush if they venture into the wrong areas. in World War II, American deserters often wound up working for organized crime in the black market, using their weapons to hijack red ball express trucks for arms and ammunition medicine, etc. The people back home in World War II never heard about this, because it was not a good look. I can only assume that they are doing this exact same thing in Russian controlled Ukrainian territories. i’m pretty sure that brand new Russian soldiers sent to the meat grinder have very little desire to get in fire fights with experienced combat troops who have deserted with their weapons.
  5. New Orleans Top Taco festival is not going to happen in October. Not a bad thing to cancel, because it would’ve been an ICE magnet in any event. I am just sharing because here is yet another comment from someone in a different industry saying that the economy is taking a shit.
  6. 50K armed deserters. wowza That is like Newt Knight and his crew on steroids and vodka. 50k is equal to the number of all US military deserts during World War II in Europe. But we had almost 2,000,000 servicemen in Europe at the time, and the geographic reach of where all the troops were stationed is vastly greater than the small amount of territory in an occupied Ukrainian area.
  7. So…. It just means more?
  8. JOBY hit $20 this morning. Paper hands me had grabbed a 70% profit back when it jumped- and did not hang in long enough to enjoy what may be a sweeter ride ahead. I kept 300 shares just so every time I check my Fidelity account it reminds me that I have no idea what I’m doing.
  9. As Trump has not selected her for any position in his cabinet or agencies or embassies, despite him hiring a bus load of idiots and incompetents, she probably realizes she’s not attractive enough to be a female appointee in his administration. But she is still a skilled grifter, with a complete absence of morality, so her going after potential Elmo money seems like a rational and potentially very profitable strategy.
  10. This is the correct answer. Let them lose everything. Let every female in their family have an ectopic pregnancy and have to travel 300 miles to the only hospital remotely near them in Montana, only to learn medicaid doesn’t pay for ambulances and that the delay and GOP passed laws results in the ER doctor telling him, “We can’t save them if it means taking the baby.” You voted for others to have this experience. Lay back and enjoy it maggot. Maybe those Canadian investors right at your border will think kindly on America - and invest in something that will change your unemployed status. Or not.
  11. I just asked AI, and it told me that neither Face the Nation or Meet the Press discussed the Epstein matter today. But then, none of the QAnon idiots ever cared that Meet the Press and Face the Nation were not discussing the international child pedophile Cabal the prior last nine years. if the US economy does not tank the next couple years, the Epstein issue and whether it affects 4 to 5% of GOP voters may be the most important question
  12. i’m assuming if you’re gonna make $200 -$300k a year on your RMD and other retirement investments, you and your prenup should be able to fix that single status pretty damn quickly. Feel free to swap lives with me and subject me to that kind of hell.
  13. Yup. And it is not unreasonable to predict that other countries will stop investing in United States bonds and equities and/or the US dollar once they realize Trump sits on his shitter at night and decides what all the job and inflation numbers will be. The combination of constantly threatening J Pow - and now essentially trying to create a path to falsify economic data that the Fed will utilize to govern US financial policy, I’m pretty sure the money people in other countries who of necessity must have accurate empirical data in order to form their own competent financial policy will go… Eventually, investing in the United States with Trump as president (with a bunch of people acting as guard rails, preventing him from doing his stupid, worst instincts) will now be analyzed as investing in an unstable country with an unstable president who pulls tariff numbers out of his ass, has no idea how trade networks work, and more importantly who has no guard rails from continuing his five-year-old petulant child, who is dumber than shit demanding that everything goes his way. I had dinner with my ex longtime law partner Friday - and after I finished bitching about everybody seeming to bend the knee to that dip shit - she reminded me that as POTUS he is the most powerful individual in the world, coupled with a childish, vindictive personality and a substandard intelligence. She said we were living in the twilight zone episode, “ it’s a good life”. Billy Mummy played a six-year-old kid with psychic powers who had either destroyed the world, or moved his small town someplace else in the universe. He had unlimited powers and could read minds, and everybody had to 100% toady to the six year-old - or he would cause them unimaginable harm. Why? Because he was incredibly powerful. Worse, he was immature, cruel, had zero empathy for other people, insisted on always being right, and would punish or destroy anyone who did not disagree with his every whim or opinion. Fuck!! She is right. A perfect analogy.
  14. Once the new BLS statistician takes over and un-rigs the false Biden new job stats for May, June, and July, demand is going to soar!
  15. I’m pretty sure that one day Bill Gates will leave all his money to me and announce it while I’m at a party for Victoria’s Secret models. Besides the fact that it’s not possible, it would still be great.
  16. Trump says the other countries are going to pay the tariff. Smooth brain MAGAT out front should’ve told you.
  17. Anything remotely resembling an action type movie is usually made for global distribution. They are not so concerned with winning an Academy award as they are in filling seats all over the world to get a good return of their investment. It is why an unloving God forces us to watch all those Mission Impossible movies starring the Scientology midget.
