There's always a tweet.

From Reddit - 3D printed Starbucks - yes real life.

I cannot understand why they left the exterior with the same issue small scale prints face. Stucco it, put some other form of exterior on it.

I don't think this is a today problem, but in the next few years -- keep note -- the SPX is parabolic

As @walterdeemer.bsky.social notes, parabolic advances can go higher and longer than expected but they don't correct sideways.

Reminder: social security is an annuity. It's a very successful, well run, contractual obligation between you and the government.

You pay your money in for an expected rate of return.

This 'could' be VERY bad--if it happens.

Inflation back to 8-9% before year end.

Does anyone else think 45 is obsessed with Greenland because he keeps playing Plague Inc?

Sounds similar to what is described at each Fourth Turning.

No one really knows it's coming, it builds slowly then happens suddenly.

These two charts tell you the state of online dating.

People didn't have difficulty with dating apps sites 5-10 years ago.

Somehow as the parent companies got more involved the experience has become worse--I mean awful, horrific, insufferable.

Look at the stock prices of MTCH and BMBL--tells the whole story

Funny thing is this is possibly a big picture buy -- even if it is vaporware/smoke and mirrors.

Keep the messaging simple folks.

They are crooks and thieves.

It's not about being right, it's about marketing the message.

Oh are they? Their own algorithm recommends click-bait titles.

I do believe 45 will put Tariffs in place in his first week.

Unemployment is already trending up. Inflation is now showing signs of coming back.

Tariffs will only exacerbate those current conditions.

People are already on edge about prices.

He could destroy the economy as soon as 3/4 months

How will tariffs create STAGFLATION?

We know tariffs are effectively a tax on consumers bc the companies pass on the added cost down the line. -- (Rising prices)

People don't want to pay higher prices (demand destruction)

Companies have to layoff employees to cut cost.

All of that lowers GDP.

NFL tank day.

Big match bt the Jaguars and Jets--winner likely loses out on a top 5 pick.

Raiders playing reeling Falcons (on 4 game losing streak)

Giants vs Ravens (NYG loss)

Patriots at Cardinals (NE loss)

Panthers vs Cowboys (toss up)

Titans vs Bengals other big match.

Browns vs KC 😂

I have a different view on it. Keep those stops tight in case it doesn't break the upper boundary. I think it may go back below $10 if it fails before another attempt

Chris, you really need to read parts of the Fourth Turning. It really contextualizes the cycles you are referring to.
December 14, 2024 at 2:41 AM
That meme is the premise of the Fourth Turning (and fuck Bannon trying to co-opt it)

He's said a lot of crazy shit, that's also conflicting regarding the US debt.

In this case, I just look at his track record of suing, browbeating and bankruptcy. Only... You can't really do any of those things with gov't debt.

Time to brush up on STAGFLATION

The most significant recent example in the US was in the 1970s.

This is very difficult to prepare for because it is recessionary by nature, but prices will also rise.

Likely, lots of jobs will be lost.

We'll want to look for rising oil prices as well.
