  1. Please stop engaging the dumbass!
  2. This discussion just confirms that for most Trump voters the #1 item on the wish list is punishing those who are different than them. It wasn’t about inflation, government waste, spending money on Ukraine, etc. The first thing this dumbass mentioned was solving the “gender fiasco”. That’s why he can declare himself King, throw away the Constitution and these morons will give him a standing ovation.
  3. He needs to get his fly ball rate back up. Last year his power numbers were down because he hit too many ground balls.
  4. Does this apply to children under 10?
  5. Should I be surprised or disappointed that Murkowski voted yes to all of these fools except Hegseth? She already survived running as an independent. I thought she had a little more spine.
  6. The discount is relevant to Bregman. He still has to wait to collect the deferred money. $40 million in 10 years isn’t the same as $40 million today.
  7. Chas McCormick will be the key to this season. If 2023 Chas shows up, this team wins the division. If 2024 Chas shows up, this isn’t a playoff team.
  8. I’m happy that I will never have to watch Bregman struggle every April and May again.
  9. Sell cash covered puts on days in which a decent stock is getting hammered
  10. I appreciate the commitment to the bit.
  11. What’s their recourse if Trump ignores them? Will they strenuously object? Write a sternly worded letter?
  12. I’m disgusted but intrigued at the same time.
  13. And it will stop after the 6th grade.
  14. There is nothing quite like a good piece of hickory!
  15. You know what I want the Democratic congress critters to do - Win more elections. They need to do a better job of crafting their message, getting out the vote and gerrymandering House seats in Blue states. You Play to Win the Game!
  16. If Bregman actually takes that reported offer from the Cubs, I can only conclude that someone in the Astros clubhouse has been responsible for tying his shoes every day because he’s clearly not intelligent enough to do that himself. Turning down a guaranteed $50 million extra and trying to make that up by opting out will likely never happen. He’s a good player who has already begun his decline and if MLB doesn’t go back to the 2019 baseballs, he will never get the $200 million he wants. Did he really get that upset because his annual comp was going to decrease by $2 million?
  17. There is definitely that risk due to the market cap weighting. Invesco has an equal weight S&P 500 fund but it comes with a higher cost at .20%.
  18. From my perspective, I’m not going to try and create a diverse stock portfolio in my own. For money that I want invested in equities, I use either VOO (Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF) or VTI (Vanguards US total stock market ETF). These provide broad diversification at a .03% expense ratio.
  19. Generally speaking a SWF only makes sense for a country with a surplus. For the US, a SWF either results in more government borrowing or alternatively cuts to other government programs to fund the SWF.
  20. We already have a good example of the impacts of tariffs from the first Trump administration with washing machines. He imposed a 20 to 50% tariff on residential washing machines in his first term. The tariffs expired in 2023. Immediately after imposing the tariffs, the price of US made washing machines increased greater than the overall rate of inflation. Samsung and LG ultimately ended up putting a couple of plants in the US creating approximately 2,000 jobs. When the tariffs expired in 2023, the price of washing machines decreased. One study estimated that each new job created by the tariffs cost American consumers $815,000.
  21. She’s starting to look like RFK.
