The simple solution is to go back in time twenty years, and plant apple trees.

Yeah, we did. Now we sell those damn apples to china to buy back in juice. So we pay a tariff on US grown fruit. Smart economics.

Yo, know where I can buy some sugar cane plants. got an idea.

“Will?” Dude…we’re already there.

I remember when your whole ledge thing seemed like a schtick that had run its course and was beginning to get tiresome. But apparently that dead horse needed to be beat much harder for most people to grasp how shitty things were going to be/already are.

I knew shit was bad. I thought it might get slightly better. Then, I thought it would at least get shitty at a more gradual rate once Trump was re-elected. How naive my already very pessimistic and cynical view turned out to be. Everything is shit and we're all fucked. I'm bringing my La-Z Boy and a full cooler to the ledge and getting real comfortable. I don't imagine we'll be leaving anytime soon.

As long as there is room for my papasan chair. Lazy B? Mechanical I hope. Not going to be any power unless we can harnass wind power. Meaning Brisket's capacity after burritos.

You gotta be initiated. We’ve been out here a long time.

Played golf with a Trumper yesterday. He tried every couple holes to bait the rest of us into a discussion about how quickly Trump has been winning. Apparently the fentanyl problem is finished, the corrupt blue states are close to being brought to heel and the Dems who stole the money appropriated for new reservoirs in Cali are about to be indicted.

The real pain hasn’t begun yet, and most of his people will need to feel it for months if not years before they’ll question their new god. 

You stated one of the problems with talking with magats.  If you try to any sort of reasonable conversation they are already awash in bizarre shit from OAN or Facebook that is totally made up. 

"Trump stopped the Chinese silver extraction from the asphalt in American highways and turning into solar panels made by slave labor Baptist orphans from the Secret War against the Pedophile Army." (You have no idea how hard it was to create that).  

How do you counter that?  It's impossible.

I was playing with two of them last week. Both UT grads. One a multimillionaire offshore O&G guy. 
 They were prattling on about how Trump somehow had solved all of the LA fire devastation. I just ignored them.

"Yeah but you're fucking crazy" is something I have actually said to conspiracy thumpers.

It doesn't change a thing, but it's fun to say.

I don't actually have one. Just a metaphor for getting very comfortable as I will be staying a while. I feel like I've said similar things about the ledge in the past, but always end up leaving, only to come back with even greater despair.

You are nicer than me. You kept that southern charm.  I tell them they are fucking stupid.

I was gonna redo the deck. Might just replace the two worst planks. Lot less work, then I could lay about drankin on-sale whiskey.

If you only had some sugar cane growing. You could make planks and rum.

But no, ya don't want to swing a machete.

I honestly don’t know if its real or not.  But I can tell you:

1. White women are the primary beneficiaries of DEI programs.

2. Trump is using a sledgehammer and it is causing a lot of collateral damage

I spoke with my father yesterday.  He thinks we are headed for prosperity with the new administration.  (Apparently, not investing has helped him not see the rewards of the Biden administration.)  But he did impress me insofar that he understands who pays the tariff.  He tried to talk commodities about the price of oil and his understanding was even worse.  But I had to simplify it even further.  If Mexico sells apples here for $1.  And America sells apples here for $1.  If we add the 25% tariff to Mexican goods the Mexican apples are now $1.25.  He was here following along.  But when I stated that as the American Apple guy, I raise my price to $1.25 and get to reap more profit.  This part he was able to follow along but it surprised him completely that a company would do that.    

The idea that oil costs more to produce in one region or another based on geologic factors (and transportation) is well beyond him.   

He used to be smart.  Fox/OANN/NEWSMAX and talk radio has corrupted his brain.  I am less credible talking about oil and gas than a talking head who never stepped foot on a site, couldn't identify a sandking from a blender. 

 

This man raised me to have values he has abandoned.   They have no idea that Trump is fucking with the FDIC as well.   That could lead to more issues and uncertainty in markets, but I guess when you don't have shit in them, you think it doesn't impact you.  Until it does. 

 

Compliments.
