  1. A couple of thoughts… 1. The economy tanking does no one any good. I work in construction, we build for public and private clients alike. Tariffs and persistent high interest rates means less private work for us. That’s not good for my bonus. 2. Even with the economy in the gutter, in the next election cycle, the Dems will still spend way too much time talking about DEI, abortion, etc. Who was it who said “It’s the economy, stupid”? The Dems will continue to lose if they don’t focus on what’s important for almost everyone instead of trans rights, etc.
  2. $15 for a dozen extra large organic eggs at the Asian grocery store. No organic are over the $10 mark. Haven’t seen any eggs at Trader Joe’s and Sprouts in several weeks.
  3. What were you delivering? Government cheese? Serious question. Was it government cheese? What did it taste like?
  4. In California, property taxes are based on original purchase price, with an annual limit increase of 1%. My neighbor's property tax is 2x mine because I bought the house before the sharp increase the past few years. There is no fuckery with annual assessed values, so it's predictable on how much I'll owe every year. State income tax is progressive and tops out at 12.3%. We're in the 9.3% bracket (thought it was 10%. So yay?)
  5. Trader Joe’s and Sprouts were out of eggs, so I went to a local Asian supermarket that always has eggs. MFers wanted $15 for a dozen organic eggs. They were $7.50 less than 2 weeks ago.
  6. Whenever I get mad about paying the 10% state income tax, I remember that I live in southern California and not in a shithole SEC state (not blaming those of you here, but objectively, Texas has let shit politicians turn it into a failed state).
  7. Still up 12% in the past month and 175% in the past 6 months. People probably bought thinking Peter Thiel ducking the donald's dick would bring in more business. I guess it's not going to work out.
  8. I hope the remaining FAA controllers direct his jet into the White House.
  9. Fuck that. I'm not becoming the great hero for nobody. Too much work trying to please all you MFers.
  10. One of my favorite actors. Death seems a little suspicious. Wonder what the toxicology report will show. Apparently there were pills scattered about.
  11. I thought imamac said no snuff videos. That kid on the left? He ded.
  12. I do the same thing... except I first cut the sandwich... and measure each quarter.
  13. I will really enjoy videos of Palestinians tearing down the statue while ululating and hitting it with their shoes.
  14. Well they certainly aren't going to talk about egg prices, DOGE, nazi salutes, (the Oxford comma) and the consumer confidence index.
  15. No they won't.
  16. Tell me she looked like Karen or Anna?
  17. This one is a bit of both pleasing and surly. Grocery stores here now have compostable bags for fruits and vegetables. I use these in my kitchen for fruit peels, organic waste, so I can dump these directly into my yard waste can (yes they allow kitchen organic stuff). I'm trusting these are better than plastic bags. OTOH, they are pretty flimsy and you can poke a hole in them fairly easily and don't want a chance against pears, carrots, sweet potatoes and anything slightly pointy.
  18. Watched Margin Call on Prime last night. I was riveted within the first 10 minutes. Apparently they shot the movie in 17 days. Simon Baker and Jeremy Irons were both great.
