Just the other day I was wondering how much "free" services (pickup/delivery) were helping inflate prices. Take groceries: I guess there is some reduction in in-store employee headcount if more people are shopping "remotely", but I'm pretty sure net employment is up, and we're paying for it in the sticker prices of food, etc. I have no idea how that effect might compare to supply chain issues, etc.
If labor costs have materially changed it should be apparent in public grocery companies SEC filings. I haven’t looked.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Also everyone takes a bad picture from time to time.

I listened to Reiner on Bill Mahers podcast in the last month. I believe he alluded to (or directly stated) taking in of his son to live with him. It was very much in passing to another part of the conversation. I googled but don’t find anything and haven’t had time to try to find the moment.
Having heard him talk briefly about that relationship made a shocking story all that more surreal.
God awful tragedy. Just unfathomable.

So I have an informal survey question for anyone who has a high dollar financial advisor. Did your advisor move you strongly into gold, silver and/or commodities before the beginning of 2025.
We are having a debate about how some people seemed to know this year’s performance was coming, while most did not.
I'd love to hear about anyone recommended gold and silver this year who hadn't been recommending it for decades. I'm sure that person exists, but gold bugs are just like the permabears who have predicted 25 of the last 5 recessions





Is this the end of shitty bowl games?
in Football
My interest and viewing of sub-tier bowls has declined in recent years. At an emotional level it feels like there is a more complete disassociation with the top tier bowls, whereas previously there was an appetizer/main course feel to the whole bowl season.(yes, that is an individual emotional response not a practical analysis of historical bowl significance). That is compounded by the significant increase in opt-outs and also the scheduling(date and time) being so varied year to year. I’d also add there is probably some personal bandwidth limitations as I am not able to follow sports of all kinds as in depth as in my youth due to kids/work/family commitments.
