  1. The irony of it is that what he wants is the exact opposite of how the framers wanted it- local communities in districts of shared interest elected state legislators, and they chose senators and presidential electors. Not that the framers had right, but they recognized and were very afraid of subordinating local interests to the kind of pervading factionalism AWK seems to have baked into his idea of what an ideal world “should” be like.
  2. Good thing our winter/spring economic productivity don’t face significant seasonal risk from thin lips, but at least that meeting was rescheduled. Let us know when the Flu meeting has a date.
  3. I already answered that- because “local interests often (or usually, really) transcend national party alignment.” People who live in the same community of interest generally agree on the major local economic and social issues, irrespective of their views on national political issues. For example, most voters in the Big Country, regardless of party, agree that orphaned oil wells are a problem. Different elections, different electorates. This is precisely the question you leave begging. Why should it match when the issues faced by the nation or state as a whole do not encompass or reflect the interests of local communities in their interactions with the rest of the state and nation? That’s the question you’ve been refusing to respond to for 20 years. “Why should they match?” In response, you just continue chanting your mantra, “they should match.”
  4. All three of your major tells on display. You’re grasping and you know it.
  5. You’ve been begging the same question for 20 years: since local interests often (or usually, really) transcend national party alignment, WHY “should” the people of Maine’s congressional delegation be anything like their statewide vote in Federal elections?
  6. I thought this was the economy thread.
  7. Hey @Anastasis, again great job with the whole burn-it-all-down thing.
  8. Am I your best friend? because that all describes me to a tee.

  10. Steve Foster is the *absolute* worst
  11. Quite a phrase
  12. This. I’m not an advisor, but I know a lot of them and in my experience they vary about as much as any profession. Like any professional, I wouldn’t pick one at random. But the median is certainly better than operating from a place of limited knowledge and not knowing where to start. In @Rip76 case they should at the very least be able to help him discern what he’s trying to accomplish, and help him with a plan or at least some immediate actions, which is better than not having that.
  13. A lot to unpack here. I think you should talk to your financial advisor
  14. This. I'm too angry to watch this game. I don't want to root against the mavericks, and I'm hoping Luka goes for like 60.
  15. I mean she’s not in the same league as South Austin’s mom, but with persistence and hard work, who knows?
  16. When people talk about AD, Lively, Gafford and Powell coming back
  17. Continuing in this vein: The “what percentage should be bonds” discourse is almost as baffling to me as the “what is your risk tolerance” discourse. So @Rip76 I guess my question is, when you say “what is the best thing” to do with it, what do you want that money to do? Appreciate in value? Throw off cash? And do you need liquidity, meaning, is the ability to get out of an investment quickly and easily?
