  1. Let’s see what the supreme court does- I’m looking for the rare Gorsuch face turn here.
  2. If they are all healthy? With any three of LBJ, Luka, Rui and Reaves on the floor DFS and Gilbert are going to get a LOT of open looks. I think the Lakers are going to be in the WCF maybe win it. Fuck Nico.
  3. Before Trump, Peter Navarro was, literally, a local cable-access show crank.
  4. No. That’s a popular misconception. We aren’t good at making full size trucks, we are bad at it, because of the chicken tax. We are producing high profit full size luxury trucks that are increasingly designed for a combination of consumer preferences and towing, and subsidizing the fuck out of them, despite losing utility for agriculture and most trades. That’s why older pickups with lower, longer beds are still so expensive, because we restrict the availability of the far more useful trucks sold elsewhere in the world. Unless you are talking about suburban strip mall parking lot bro-dozers, we’re like the Cuba of full size trucks. We don’t allow the market to give us the products we need, because of the chicken tax. Thats why the maverick was such an instant hit- every tradesman in America immediately recognized that it was the product they need.
  5. Yeah that’s silly but I get it- what LeBron really lacks is the mindset. He’s the greatest physical athletic talent I’ve ever seen in basketball, but he’s not a killer, which is why Dwayne Wade would get the ball at the end when they played together. Kobe was a killer, and killers get more from their physical gifts.
  6. Also there’s never a bad time to laugh at Sebastian Gorka’s V6 Hertz-rental shitbox
  7. Again- don’t do this. You’re lawyering outside of court. The preemptive concession that the previous tarriffs were less of a hard-on is not necessary, but more importantly it’s not correct. He just had less compliant, better people around him then. adding: the previous term was also not prominently supported by people who benefit from global de-dollarization. This one is.
  8. No. Don’t do this. This is a media narrative used to strike a balanced tone because outside of the business press they don’t care about or understand the global trade economy. His first term tariffs were a disaster. We lost global market share in ag exports we will never get back. The winner of the 2017 trade war was China, and will be this time as well. The only tariffs that benefit us, even WRT China, are the limited set of commodities and goods where we need to maintain strategic capability, like steel and heavy manufacturing. And even in those cases there are usually better ways to protect capability and American IP. Here’s the basic fact of the matter- we control the world’s reserve currency. As long as we do, really don’t have a trade deficit with anyone, not even China. Think about this: our adversary sends us tangible goods with intrinsic value that we control demand for, and we export to them our fiat currency, which we control the supply of. And they are cheating US, you say? And you want to do something to stop THAT? So in what sense does this accomplish anything other than weaken the market for our most important export, the dollar?
  9. An aside is that #2 is key, but most people aren’t very diverse even when they think they are. The proverbial 60/40 portfolio is invested in like 15% of the investable universe.
  10. I was a big Kobe skeptic and this is a very good take.
  11. Since 2022
  12. They got no-hit AND run-ruled. Oh Aggie.
  13. That’s rich, considering. For the record, I haven’t sold anything and don’t plan to. I was hedged extremely well coming into the year and have made no changes. I’m invested for portfolio return and plan to stay that way. But- your posts over the last few days seem to rely on a set of assumptions that lack a foundation other than a reversion to trend. That’s hardly first principles. You’re looking at market reaction to events. I’m looking at the markets in the context of the global economy and its structure.
  14. Hush, grown people are talking about the markets.
  15. Look not to be really nerdy, but think about what we learn from mythology. There’s a big difference between a Hector and an Achilles.
  16. 2018 you say?
  17. Palabra! I’d happily settle for Preston Smith or Mark White, though.
  18. See this is the problem. Who gives a fuck about any of that? Democrats have been brainwashed by 40 years of Republican orthodoxy into thinking that their own party revolves around an ideology or a set of policies. That’s cargo cult shit. Parties are about who, not what, in all times and all places but that’s especially true for Democrats, in Texas, at this particular moment.
