The most important part of it is “is there anything you’d like to admit, before we take the test?”

And in conclusion, don’t shoot down airliners with our citizens in them.

I believe that was a stretch goal… the common story has always been that they wanted to take over redistricting after the census, which they really did knock out of the park, catching dems flat-footed.

We’re 100% certain there was only one lobotomy?

After they feed I assume they’re a little warm…

Maybe I’m a little okay with AI…

Are you saying a raccoon from Ohio wouldn’t be expected to have a pipe?

I’d argue security through obscurity was gone by 2000, for anything that can be pinged.

Trading stops at the end of day, for accounting purpose. Some traders can still access over-the-counter trades but they are not required to be reported (if I remember correctly) until sometime in the morning of the market they’re made in. You will see some price movement when London and the DAX open.

Watch futures for a good price estimate. ES for SPY and NQ for Nasdaq.

Shut up and go make Dagwood a sandwich, Blondi.

This guy does defense economics but he did a good piece on the tariffs: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZ1lcw2bVU

I have two smaller businesses, and I’ve both laid off due to expected decrease in business and bought supplies ahead due to expected shortages.

You’re good putting together that you wouldn’t build a factory right now because uncertainty doesn’t let you predict returns. Not only can you not predict the next president and their tariff policy, I wouldn’t say you can predict trump’s actions tomorrow. I heard an interview John Bolton did today, and he said something along the lines that “trump doesn’t think, he reacts.” Tariffs could be zero or 500% next month or next year or tomorrow. The safe move is to wait and see - and while everyone waits and sees, only small-scale production will start, definitely not enough to sustain demand.

Honestly, if I had the money to build a factory right now, I’d park it and wait to buy one from a company that fails in all this. It would save so much money.

I like to hope these guys were tank crews, from back when they had surplus tanks.

If you dried the cheese they might take it. Maybe if you wrapped it in cello tape. Then it would be a lot like mailing a coconut.

Assuming I’m snapped back to the same part of the earth, climate-wise that’s ideal in the US PNW coming out of spring. Plenty of berries and food to forage, and I’ll probably impress the natives with my watch and well made clothes. I can probably get the native tribes to metals, and gain acceptance with my magic hand tool that will briefly shine light at night for a few weeks. I don’t know offhand where copper would be, but I know gold is in the streams, and I know how to placer mine, so I can get some electricity going with that and magnetized rocks from lava flows.

I think first contact would be the key.

Self dining only one year away.
