I sold out everything back in Feb. I even processed a 401K to a roll-over IRA just so I could hold the money in cash. The money-market account is paying around 4% right now.

This orange moron is going to cause a massive worldwide recession and a depression in the U.S.

I’ll reinvest in a few years.

It doesn’t help that alternatives have been lowering their prices. For example Wine prices have been decreasing due to a large amount of over-production. When a can of fancy beer cost $7 and a decent bottle of wine cost $9-12, economics wins out.

Oh and south central Washington (Yakima valley) is taking a beating on Hop prices. Most of those expensive beers have a lot of hops in their recipes. Add in they are highly dependent on immigrant labor and they are truly fucked for the next few years.

Double them up wait a month for the U.S. stock and commodity markets to absolutely crater.

I hit the point in my professional life when I just stopped asking for time off.

I started using phrases like “I will be out from July 15th to August 9.”, “I won’t be in that day.”, “Sorry that conflicts with my schedule.”.

For a while I kept getting random calls for stuff while I was on vacation. That’s about the time I started carrying 2 phones. The work phone and laptop got left at home.

He assassinated an immoral asshole who has profited on the needless pain, suffering, and death of millions.

The reaction can’t be too surprising.

This was especially true with the old metal based fillings (gold, silver, etc). The metal contracts and expands a miniscule amount with heat and cold. Eventually they end up cracking the tooth. The larger the filling, the worse it is.

I am on crown #5 because of that asshole dentist when I was 23. Oh and a nice plus is they were extremely sensitive to temperature and randomly hurt like hell. At $1000 per crown it’s not fun on the pocket book.

According to a friend of mine in California who went through the process. Grading on the bar exam there is simple. On every test, 50% pass and 50% fail. You either make the cut or retake the test. Somewhere around 70-80% of people fail to pass on the first try if I recall correctly.

He was not much fun to be around when he finished law school and was cramming for the bar. He passed it on the 2nd attempt.

Many modern vehicles automatically turn off after 30-60 minutes idling “to save fuel”. I order to turn it off you have to hit the A button on the dash. it’s proven to be deadly.

Yeah the lack of criminal charges indicates that it was a manic episode. She probably spent several weeks in a mental health ward. Otherwise she would have been charged for the abuse to the flight attendants and others.

She also likely had a ton of drugs in her system as well as the booze. People undergoing manic episodes will take about anything.

I am not so sure about the FAA fines. The U.S. civil court system is inherently unjust. There are many draconian rules that punish the mentally ill and impoverished.

Uh-oh

Oopsy, the credit cards are maxed out already due to their gouging So purchasing will remain low until credit card debt declines.

Oh wait, that’s not going to happen anytime soon because the landlords are price fixing.

The first one is the main reason we could afford to have kids.

We were able to buy our first house because of three things. First the housing market crash in 2008-9. My wife’s car was totaled by a rich bitch in a Mercedes. Our rented duplex was robbed and we had renters insurance. The combination of insurance payments and cheaper prices allowed us to purchase our first home.

My house payment hasn’t changed since 2009. It made up 36% of our take-home income then. Today it makes up less than 11%. I pay less per month than it costs to rent a 1 bedroom apartment in my area.

The older I get the more I see that landlords are a parasite on society. They extract huge amounts of wealth from the suffering of others.

I had a non-compete handed to me when I lived in California. I laughed my ass off and signed it. When I left the dumbass VP of HR threatened me with it.

My response was “Could you pretty please try to enforce it? My lawyer would absolutely love to represent me in court. FYI you know my lawyer. He was the paralegal that told you the non-compete contract wasn’t legal. You then screwed him over and got him laid him off. Guess who passed the bar exam 6 months ago!”

Most people enrolled in those programs are frequent business travelers who charge it to the company.

When I was traveling all the time I did global entry. Since it was for work, I paid for it with my companies credit card. I also did the interview during company hours, drove to the interview in a company vehicle, and paid for parking and lunch on the company dime.

Nobody blinked at the expense. Of course it was the same month I traveled for 3 weeks, hit 5 countries and 10 states. It took me a full day to do my expense report.

Paraquat federally is on the ropes with new labels and packaging restrictions.

Once these types of restrictions happen a permanent ban is usually inevitable.

Which is of course a very good thing. The shit is toxic and kills people.

It’s all in how the poll is written.

Mormons only have around a 30% activity rate to what their records say or 3 out of 10. Right in line with the rest of them.

So if we assume that 55% of those don’t attend do not associate the corrupt organization known as the Mormon church on the poll. Then 67% of the remaining 45% is 30%. The 15% who associate but don’t attend are jackmo’s.

Honestly I think it’s their quest for maximizing profit that bit them in the ass. They have been trying to sell discount store quality at midrange prices.

When I was a teenager and working, I bought from Sears, JcPenny and Macy’s when I could because they had nice quality stuff that lasted. I HATED shopping so I saved up and looked for better quality. They had it and if you timed it right you could get them at a reasonable prices (not cheap but reasonable).

Now they have the same crap as the discount stores with higher prices.

In order to get midrange quality anymore you have to order online, if you can find it at all. Many of the former quality brands “Levi’s, etc” are absolute shit now.

It’s so weird that here in my state they are having 100+ applicantions for every open position.

Could It be because it pays one of the higher wages in the nation and the state next to it pays on average 1/3 less.

It’s almost as if there is no teacher shortage, there is a shortage of pay to teachers.

The partial payment wasn’t large enough if it left you wrecked at the end. Generally the partial payment should pre-pay to cover all of your expenses and labor. The final payment is the profit margin. That way you are never on the hook for a potential loss and will always break even.

So for the bakery, they should have had a full prepay policy on all special orders. Even if “customers” walked away because of the policy.
