  1. The people who voted because inflation was too high are in for a rude fucking awakening. 20% tariffs on all imports will make things more expensive for American consumers. Things will cost 20% more. Yay! Lower business tax and fewer regulations means companies will look to borrow borrow borrow for capital investment. More demand for borrowing means... yep, higher interest rates. Gen Zers waiting on lower interest rates so they can buy a house are fucked. Lower business taxes also means bigger budget shortfalls and the Federal government would need to issue more bills and bonds to pay for shit, at higher interest rates, so the budget to service debt payments will go up, meaning fuck you social security and medicare. Independent financial groups said Harris's economic proposals would have added $3.5 trillion to the national debt. They say Trump's proposal would added $7 trillion. Yep, the Republicans are better at the economy. Bullshit. I voted on character and also economic issues, especially national debt. Wife and I never planned on social security and medicare in our retirement planning.
  2. They are idiots to believe the bullshit that Trump said. Trump was pro-Israel in his last term, and his pick of Elise Stefanik to be his UN ambassador will mean she'll support Israel even more. I feel for the Palestinians in Gaza, but if the electorate in the US were fucking stupid if they thought Trump would do anything to help the situation in Gaza.
  3. I don't get it.
  4. Arab American voters who voted Jill Stein instead of Harris will FO. Trump is appointing Elise Stefanik as ambassador to the UN. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3vlndv0yxpo This election was fucking frustrating because people were voting against their own interest. Only mentioning this demographic on this thread. Don't get me started on the fuckery that will be the economy.
  5. I stand at 5'11". In my Barbie shoes. About 5'8" without. A skosh below the national average, but I don't consider myself a little man.
  6. Shower door contractor is coming over today to measure and provide quote. I want regular glass panels and hinged doors. The wife wants the kids' shower to have sliding panels, because apparently she thinks the kids don't know how to squeegee the glass on a regular shower door without the door opening and dripping water onto the floor (oh the humanity!). My wife fucking stubborn. Gets it from her grandmothers... Me: If you're thinking of getting the sliding door, you should find a picture of it and show the guy. Her: Why? I can just describe it. Me: It'll save you a LOT of time and words if you just show him a picture. Her: But what if he has another type of door? I don't want him to limit it to just what I show him. Me: Yes, and he can give you a 3rd option. But trust me, find a photo, show it to him, and he'll better understand what you're looking for. Her: No, I'll just describe it. This goes on for 2 minutes... Me (getting mad): We've been together for 18 years, and I don't understand you at times. You'll start mid thought, won't provide any context, I have to ask a lot of questions to understand what you're trying to say. Save the guy the frustration I feel everyday, just find a freakin' photo so you can show him, and it won't be as confusing for you, or for him, and you'll get what you want!!! Her: I hear you. But why do you have to get mad? I looked up some photos, took screen shots and texted them to her, because knowing her, she'll be too stubborn to do it herself and waste everyone's time. Fucking infuriating.
  7. Sorry for being proud of my kid. LOL. How was the tournament btw? Was this in Long Beach? We were thinking about going, but I got lazy.
  8. Why are most tight ends white?
  9. Haha?
  10. If we’re counting real estate holdings, then my wife and I are multi millionaires. House value doubled since we bought it 9 years ago.
  11. I went camping a few weekends ago with some other dads and sons. The dad responsible for dinner fucked up the steak. Perfect ribeyes cooked to a medium, medium well. My son was excited at first when he heard we were having steak, but mid-meal he came up to me and gave me his plate. “Dad, I won’t want this steak, it’s not good.” Around 9, he came to me and said he was hungry. When I told him to eat some of of the leftover steak, he got mad. ”I’M NOT EATING THAT STEAK! IT’S OVERCOOKED!” I was so proud of him at the moment.
  12. I’m Windows 3.1 old. Windows 3.1 was installed ON TOP of DOS.
  13. Add another 15 yards for personal foul. Targeting the runner by defensive player #3.
  14. Not quite ready to get rid of my Airpods until a better, non noise cancelling option comes out. I still like to hear what's going around me when I have my earbuds in. I see plenty of people with death wishes walking / biking with noise cancelling earphones on. Question I have is how do people jog without their airpods falling out?
  15. I work for a construction company. Most of the local leadership is anti-Trump. Little comments here and there so as to not piss other people off. But we know who we are. OTOH, the subcontractors I’ve talked to in the past few months are VERY pro-Orange shitstain. They think interest rates will magically go down if he’s elected. Never mind the economic realities of the past 4 years that affected monetary and fiscal policy.
