Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.

Had the back patio redone last week.

Four guys showed up at 8:15.

At 8:30 I went outside and asked if they had five minutes for a quick standup.

The foreman said "a what."

I said "a standup. Quick sync. Five minutes. What did you do yesterday. What are you doing today. Any blockers."

He said "we just got here."

I said "right so no blockers. Great. Let's reconvene at noon."

He looked at his crew. His crew looked at the ground.

At noon I went back outside. Asked for a status update.

He said "we're on track."

I said "on track relative to what baseline."

He said "the plan."

I said "is the plan documented somewhere."

He pointed at the patio.

Fair enough.

My wife came outside around 2 PM.

She said "have you been out here all day."

I said "I've been providing board-level oversight."

She said "you've been sitting in a lawn chair watching four men work."

I said "that's what board-level oversight is."

She went inside.

They finished Thursday. One day ahead of schedule.

The foreman shook my hand at the door and said "good working with you."

I said "likewise. I'll send over a post-mortem."

He said "please don't."

Alabama well on its way to the most embarrassing postseason performance in school history.

Unlike Alabama, at least Notre Dame had the decency to opt out of its bowl game before kickoff

This chart kinda says it all and I’m not even trying to make a political statement.

It’s a simple tax & generational arbitrage.

That’s why I moved from CA to TX in 2019.

Blue states end up serving boomer interests because of over-promised benefits—>infrastructure gets allocated less money which degrades the next generation living standards.

Blue states end up with monopolistic behavior & centralized state entities that will inevitably move to red states when they cannabilize their best companies scale for tax revenues.

If you want to have a family as a Gen Z’er it’s almost impossible to do in CA, NY, Illinois given the state balance sheets.

Welcome to a new world of competing for tax payers!

I’m going to let everyone in on 3 little secrets here that may (or may not) help stem some of the daily surprise & outrage.
1. Politicians lie
2. Militaries kill people
3. Central Bankers print money

- Almost every state offers property tax relief for old people
- Not one state offers property tax relief for young people

You get what you value, and our society does not value happy and bountiful families.
