  1. Hey fuck stick. Answer your texts Mr tex mex
  2. As of this year (I was there twice) traffic is up but still not bad. Of course I think covid is still affecting Belize tourism. Margaritaville is north of the bridge so other than getting them to their resort their path to secret beach won't involve town. With both Marriott and Hilton south of the airport I'm thinking they will eventually have something on the south for that traffic. But as of now I agree that there a flood of people going from the south to secret. Maybe they will start a daily ferry to avoid so much traffic in town. As long as Belize travel involves being in and around locals I expect that will keep a good portion of the typical Mexico tourist away. The ones that only wants to be at an all inclusive with other Americans and eat burgers and pizza at the buffet and post Instagram photos and declare themselves world travelers.
  3. As far as AMEX bonuses. I know @Ag with kids has received multiple biz bonuses. But what about this scenario. Last year I decided to go all in with United and Hilton. United's card is Chase and they had no issues with me getting the Infinite card bonus after having received the explorer card bonus. For Hilton I went with the Surpass which is only $95 but just reviewed their other card Aspire and I want to upgrade. I can't until I've had the previous card for a year and that date is Feb 2023. The Aspire is $495 but you get a $250 resort credit, a $250 airline credit, and a $100 property credit plus you go from 12x, 6x, and 3x to 14x, 7x, and 3x on spending. So the fee seems to be easily covered. Per the chat rep I will get the 150,000 bonus assuming its still there in Feb, but I was always told AMEX is lifetime per brand. Maybe I was confused and you can't get the same bonus on the exact same card. I was going to upgrade anyway but the 150k would be awesome. Anyone have this experience?
  4. It's not just that. It's everything surrounding this. The fact that he's been somewhat praised and excused by everyone while clearly breaking the law and walking free for months is mind boggling.
  5. I'm not normally a conspiracy deep state kind of guy but this shit is shady as fuck. This sbf guy is going to get the Epstein treatment
  6. Used and new. I've heard stories that dealers are dumping unsold new cars at auction now. Fuck those guys. I hope they get annihilated for all the gouging they did during the pandemic.
  7. Brutal miss for Harry. The English media is going to rip him
  8. Was it better than the view from Calton HIll?
  9. Everyone saying utsa can't play against tougher competition have short memories of the game they gave UT and other power 5 schools. Could they do a whole season p5? Probably not but I don't think they are outclassed
  10. Skip the castle. Like I said earlier evey Scott has told me that. Add Holyroodhouse and the cemetery with the dog. Forget the name Oh and Colton Hill
  11. Not only can Traylor coach. He is by every measure that I've heard or seen an absolutely class dude and we all know he can recruit. At some point UTSA isn't going to be able to compete with a big budge school. Then again some people simply aren't motivated by money
  12. The Amex plat absolutely does give you sky club access. But only when you are flying Delta
  13. Anyone on their way to Phoenix for the showcase? My daughter and I are at the airport. Maybe we can do a surly happy hour
  14. Anyone who wants to actually talk to me other than family knows to text me first and say "hey I need to talk, pick up". Although now that both my parents are gone I'm less concerned about a family call with some type of an emergency. Clients have my personal mobile and I pick up if I'm available.
  15. Another small exchange down today. BitFront. Really? Crypto bro1: lets make money on these suckers. Like something that is a total front but with bitcoin Crypto bro2. We can call it BitFront Crypto bro1: Perfect. Nobodys going to know
  16. From BI. Miami Requests for $50,000 tables and bottle service for top-shelf liquor at the city's hottest venues are drying up, according to a new report from the Financial Times. The scene has become so bleak that Andrea Vimercati, director of food and beverage at Moxy Hotel group, told the outlet that high-rolling crypto regulars have "completely disappeared."
  17. Another one gone.. With bitcoin under 16k I'm guessing the snow ball is starting to form
  18. We'd need to hire a celebrity and have a cringe worthy commercial and you'll probably have to bribe a government official or two
  19. I do believe if it all really falls apart and it really could that you will see exposure to more traditional institutions and funds but I dont expect it to be massive
  20. Anyone involved in standard markets is aware of this. Crypto bros are not just pro crypto they are anti all other assets accept NFTs, Lambos and Rolex.
