Wow. So he was just too geeked out on K to complain about all the tariff drama the last few months? I thought Xi said they may just straight up stop selling some of that stuff to us? Not sure if it was rare earth minerals or some other rare substance that’s needed for military applications. Elon and Trump are some real fucking geniuses. 🙄

Maybe someday. 🤞🏾And then Phoney Stark won’t have to worry about whether we’re taxing billionaires enough 🙏🏾

It was lower in April and March. The stock had been oscillating wildly between $375 and $225 all year and has no relation to any of the actual finances of the company. Considering that the budget bill under consideration could remove the clean energy credits that keep the company in the black, the stock should be much lower.

Some of the buyers acquiring multiple properties for investment but some are just switching homes, getting bigger houses for growing families, upgrading to better locations or downsizing empty nesters. Older folks often sell their homes to buy something without stairs or with less maintenance. I suspect that fewer people are able to ever become 1st time buyers so all of the activity among homeowners has a larger impact on the median. :(

I saw a cool analysis by someone with a lot of incarcerated relatives. When Luigi was 1st transported from PA to NY, the quality of his haircut and eyebrow shaping indicated that he was especially well cared for in jail.

We’re supposed to believe that these “job creators” and “titans of industry” are next level geniuses who clearly rose to the top on only their merits (and bootstraps) while they were seemingly incapable of predicting that a 2nd Trump term would be a financial disaster? I hope all these ghouls who donated to our dear fascist get everything they deserve.

I just stopped using Reddit after they broke all the good mobile apps. But your comment makes me think that I should log on and run one of those scripts to overwrite my old comments with garbage.

When I am on a phone, let me zoom on whatever the fuck I want. Unconditionally. Period. I won’t purchase shit off of your shitty site if I can’t see it. And you obviously have no clue how shitty my vision has gotten over the years. And for the love of anything good in the world, don’t wait till I’m zoomed in to pop a fucking model asking me if I want to join your list for 10% off. If I buy something, you’re gonna put me on your list, whether I like it or not. And I can’t stop you if I actually want a receipt. So just give me the discount. Or don’t. I don’t even fucking care anymore. Just fuck off. Fuck.

If the feds won’t pay out maybe everyone in the blue states should quit paying federal taxes?

We’re pretty dumb and ignorant. Our education system is awful and incredibly inequitable (funded by local property tax so only nice areas have adequately funded schools). I recently read that like half the country reads below a 6th grade level. And we have an overwhelming level of right wing disinformation coming from “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, etc.

Even with all that, about 1/3 of the country loves Trump like he’s a god, 1/3 hates him like he’s the devil and 1/3 is completely tuned out of politics. Shit is about to get real bad here and no one will be able to ignore the economic disaster so I think those numbers will change in the next few months.

 

Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?
