@VladTheInflator Trump and @GovBillLee sent the US marshals and 100+ state troopers to Memphis and they have been arresting people left and right. Bad guys and illegals have left town in mass.
@profplum99 Hopefully Mike Green or @DavidBCollum or @fleckcap will see this. It appears the Mag 7 are turning from net buyers to net sellers. Then add in the IPO supply. Doesn’t this change the “passive bid machine?”
Peace agreement is shot - literally. I’m floored Israel is bombing Lebonon.
The situation is now WORSE than I imagined two weeks ago when we I started to get worried.
Passive, algo, ODO cannot be overstated as to how strong it is collectively.
@SebastianCala There would be nothing wrong with a pro player having an all white party just like there is nothing wrong with an all black party. Neither would be infringing on anyone else. Freedom of association is a good thing. Note applies individual sports team sports more complicated.
@pavyg Ur Ridiculous. She wants to have a party with all black players or Jewish player or Christian players so what. The right of free association inherently means the right to disasscociate. Good for her. I hope they all had a great time. PS Im whiter than snowman in Minnesota.
@JBPritzker Trump’s Memphis Safe Task Force plan worked 100% Crime way down. He’s the only politician ever that has saved hundreds of lives in Memphis TN
Gentle reminder that these book deals are basically money laundering operations for bribes
You couldn't find 1000 people in the US who want to read this
I have zero doubt this policy was leaked hence last week’s price action. The big news is this is currency failure. Extremely bullish assets that benefit from money printing. https://t.co/UTukx6XPiO
George Washington never went to college. His father Augustine died when George was 11, and the money for English boarding school died with him. His two older half-brothers had already been polished at Appleby Grammar School across the Atlantic. George got Virginia, a demanding mother named Mary, and whatever books he could find at home.
At 14 he tried to escape it all by joining the British Royal Navy. His mother shut it down. So he did the next best thing: he taught himself surveying from his late father's instruments, and at 16 he rode west into the Shenandoah wilderness on a commission from Lord Fairfax, who owned over five million acres of Virginia and needed them mapped.
His teenage journal survives. It is brutal, funny, and absolutely not the voice of a marble statue. On his first night at a frontier inn, he stripped down and climbed into what passed for a bed, only to find "nothing but a Little Straw Matted together without Sheets or any thing else but only one Thread Bear blanket with double its Weight of Vermin such as Lice Fleas etc." After that he preferred sleeping outside by the fire, even when it rained, even when his clothes froze stiff on him by morning.
One journal entry, almost in passing: thirty Native warriors walked into camp carrying a fresh scalp from battle. The teenage surveying party shared their liquor with them and watched them perform a war dance by firelight. George wrote it down the way a modern teenager logs a weird night out.
He swam horses across swollen rivers. He ate roasted meat off forked sticks because "our Spits was Forked Sticks our Plates was a Large Chip as for Dishes we had none." He met German settlers and noted in frustration that they "would never speak English but when spoken to they speak all Dutch." He measured timber in country where almost no English speaker had ever walked.
By 17 he was the commissioned surveyor of Culpeper County, the youngest official surveyor in the colony of Virginia. By 18 he had parlayed the earnings into nearly 1,500 acres of Shenandoah Valley land in his own name, bought outright, while boys his age back east were still reciting Latin in heated parlors.
The man who would one day command the Continental Army, defeat the largest empire on earth, and then voluntarily refuse a crown, did not learn leadership in a lecture hall. He learned it at 16, in a tent, in the dark, hundreds of miles from anyone who could save him.
@Oliver_MSA@GavMcCracken Mining companies are wildly misunderstood. They r conservative and - as a group - good stewards of capital in the past 10 years IMO. This has been a great thing for me. Don’t worry about it. It’s great for those of us with a medium term perspective i.e. 18 months to 5 yrs.
