The new rhetorical gymnastics I hear from both parties on the debt: 'The debt is so large now that we're not going to tax or cut our way to fiscal sustainability. Only growth can save us now, which is why I'm calling for even more tax cuts and even more spending.'

@DanielSLoeb1 If this is true doesn't that mean the fields of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq have suffered permanent damage because they have been shut in for 2 months now while Iran's fields have not been shut in?

@EllliotttB @LPInvestor No matter how good a GP is they can’t overcome an LP’s bad luck and poor aura.

Remember, today is a day where people post outrageous claims, doctored photos and other nonsense on social media all day long looking for clicks. It's called Wednesday.

Got this email from a family member:

"I wanted to know how much the stock market was down since the war started.   I asked ChatGPT that told me that was a difficult question because war had not been declared in Iran.  I narrowed the question by asking how much since the most recent combined US and Israeli bombing started.  It told me there was no official combined effort.  I put in some more clarification and got more BS.  I gave up a went to Grok.  There I was very specific but got more obfuscation….markets are volatile and stocks were down 4-8%.  I finally just asked how much the S&P was down from 2/27 to today.  I finally got an answer.  I checked it, and they had it right.  What is that?"

“Your dad set up a fund of funds and charged a 3.47% fee load to Class C shares to generate 2.12% five year returns”

Jokes aside, guess the fund (screenshots in comments)

Re: Abundance, do you really think it has become so hard to built an apartment but not even harder to build a manufacturing facility?

On an 14 hour flight I sat next to a college student who bought Wi-Fi to have Claude summarizes research papers into an essay which he then feeds into an “AI detection” website. He repeats this process with Claude over and over until the output clears the website’s detection.

When most people things used to be better in the good old days, they're usually either lying for effect or just wildly misled about the world.

But if you're a print journalist it's actually all true. You're like a pitiful Saxon living on the ruined outskirts of Roman Londinium.

@LukeAdomanis delay in processing Rantanen trade meant they didnt have the cap room. Ran out of time.

When people report an excess of '5s' and '0s' for quantities like 'IQ', 'height', 'age', etc., it indicates error and lying

Anesthesiologists report an excess of anesthesia times ending in increments of 5. As it just so happens, the ones who do this the most profit the most too
