  1. Pretty interesting how badly DeSantis whipped Crist. Not a great matchup for Dems but I think this puts little Ron in the drivers seat for 24. And that means in someone’s crosshairs. Let the Thunderdome begin!
  2. Yeah the people who could turn it purple are getting the fuck out. Sorry guys.
  3. I don’t think we’re going to get a choice other than to gnash our teeth or lay back and enjoy it. Personally I think I’ll blame everyone else’s lack of buying stuff. I have everything I need already, you jerks.
  4. So this is the SA and SS part of the simulation? Who is Roehm?
  5. Demand destruction, baby. All the people bitching about inflation about to get a dose of disinflationary medicine. And it’s going to suck.
  6. No, the funds do. I understand the concept. But generally I’m invested in relatively diverse funds so my exposure to lil elo is pretty minimal. 90 percent of my worth is tied up in private equity, with all the associated risks and benefits. I like stonks better than shitty EV makers anyway. The only thing I find less investable is Cathy Wood and her lunatic funds.
  7. You hate to see it but more than that, you love to see it. Luckily I don’t own TSLA.
  8. Sorry, bad form on my part combining two completely separate thoughts. No he’s no troll.
  9. Two comments: yes to the above, and secondly, please don’t quote trolls. I’ve curated my surly feed and enjoy missing Russian crypto shit posts, or stupid both sides lawsuit trolling. K thx bye.
  10. Seattle is way more expensive than it should be for the same reason San Jose (which is a shithole in my opinion) is. Highly paid professionals competing for housing. I have to admit I don’t get Seattle but it’s been a while since I visited. Parts of LA are fantastic if you’re remote because you can avoid the traffic. Otherwise not so much. We went through this exercise a while back and ultimately you have to trust your gut, but make sure you look at the downsides to see if you can accept them. My choice has high COL, no night life, and no big events, but I am fine with this as it has the widest range of outdoor activities, perfect weather, and really super nice people. I’ll never live in a big city again and in retrospect I have no idea how I managed to stick in Austin for 30 years.
  11. I’m here for the melt down. I’m resigned to the fact that we’re headed for a real split once Biden gets impeached for the fifteenth time over Hunters schlong. President Greene will make CrossFit the National religion and make fitness great again. Elon Musk will assume control of Amazon, Walmart, and all the railroads and move all their headquarters to Austin. Costco will become the last place Libs are allowed to shop (Amazon becomes Magazon) but they have to wear their yellow L visibly. Anyway as you can tell the stimulation writers are losing interest.
  12. Here’s a better picture of dog running his beach. He’s usually off leash because vizslas are great about recall and sticking to their owner. He’s my best friend. Dogs are amazing companions even when you feel like shit.
  13. I have a feeling meta stock is going to do very well when this implodes. Because we’re about to see one of the quickest failures in LBO history. This is going to be a business school case study. Obviously TWTR was not a 44 billion dollar concern. Even with 30 billion in goodwill i think it’s overvalued. But his investors are looking at a minimum loss of 75 percent if he tried to get someone to take it over. Anyone think it’s worth more than 10 to 12 billion right now? Truly insane. He needs to move HQ to Austin and hire Joe Rogan as COO and Alex Jones to be CTO.
  14. RIP Jacare and Gizmo. Chocolate on the beach. He has become more difficult with food than ever but his seizures are under control with phenobarbital. He’s a great dog and friendly to everyone but holy shit he is a needy bastard. At least four or five miles a day and he won’t run with me except on the beach.
  15. Poor oppressed capitalist not liking a business the government doesn’t subsidize. So sad, such small dick energy.

    Insomnia

    Shit. First time I’ve had this in a long time and it sucks.
  17. I’m not in healthcare and my company is massively profitable. Sorry but not sorry.
  18. Those are ok. They’re white and wear wrap around shades so they’re pretty ok people.
  19. We use BCBS as our plan manager but we’re big enough to self insure with catastrophic coverage as backup. As a result we’ve been able to absorb cost increases without increasing the cost to employees.
  20. Please just ignore him. Unfortunately quoting doesn’t forestall ignored posts from showing up and that dude is just a worthless poster.
  21. I’m starting to think the FED only cares about the stock market when their trades are pending….
  22. All shitposting aside (who am I kidding) I think the pressure is easing finally. I am seeing contractors shrink their margins and getting much more competitive in pricing. Supply chain still fucked but all of a sudden the tightness in a lot of the market has been relaxed. I have stopped hiring period until next year, probably summer at the earliest. I think we’ll get this hike and then it will begin to ease. But rates are still going to go up until first quarter of next year.
