One thing Rand was spot on about is the way the public responds to every new invention by trying to ban it, up until the point where the invention proves indispensibly useful, at which point they demand it be given to them for free.

I wish I could go back to the days when I tweeted this, before they hired the Turkish manager from hell. Here’s an anecdote, recently she posted a staff photo to our restaurant’s social media account where she edited herself to look amazing and put aging filters on the rest of us

Brutalist architecture is a feature of communism because they hate anything ornate on the basis that it's expensive and taking money from the poors or whatever and you can even see this in soviet era underwear. They hate beauty and anything that doesn't look like shit.

Cutting Medicaid while slathering DC statues in gold

It should scare the living shit out of Iran that our war with them has basically faded into the background and we are digging our heels in as if for another 20 year war (or siege in this case). As a society we are so numb to this. A warrior culture for the social media age.

My algorithm on this account is all economic doom and gloom

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

@JonBrown388 @FirstSquawk Nobody will read it anyway put whatever you want

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

Yeah that's inflation

[||| ErnestW @ernestwu_]

I can’t understand why the S&P 500 is close to hitting a new all time high, while the rest of the world is literally burning and multiple wars are happening.

Baths and haircuts incoming. Spa day for housing.

[Darth Powell @VladTheInflator]

Mortgage rates are back above 7% meaning homes are currently 43% overpriced vs what people can actually afford.

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

I would build a cob house by hand in a national park before I paid 2800/month for 1000 Sq foot

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

2800 mortgage 1000 sq feet and he's accusing the person of being unrealistic

[Dawn Chirwa @dmchirwa]

@texasrunnerDFW "Many such cases??" You mean unrealistic expectations? I grew up in a 2b/2ba home w/my parents - abt 800 sq ft. We did fine. A quick check @ some places 4 sale just outside Seattle btw-can get a nice 1000 sq ft, 2b/2ba home for a $2800 mortgage. I question whether this is real

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

@_rongrover @dmchirwa @texasrunnerDFW Remember when you argue with a boomer you're arguing with the TV. The TV can't hear you and doesn't care.

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

@Lu_Winkle @dmchirwa @texasrunnerDFW What's your mortgage payment

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

The federal budget is publicly available FYI

[Dracomenda ⟐ @DracoMenda]

@rafaelmateo @texasrunnerDFW dude, the people in the government are literally pocketing 40% of our collective pay. a tiny sliver of a fraction is going to welfare programs.

stop punching down on your lessers and hit that fucking pack of demons in the eyes.

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

Prices will never come down. The only solution is an immigration moratorium. Everything is downstream of immigration. That's it. That's the whole game.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

One of the problems with this claim is that virtually no Republican was making "the affordability crisis is fake" arguments during the Biden years. It's extremely transparent to everyone that the unwillingness to acknowledge these obvious economic challenges is at least partially politically motivated.

The second problem is that, no matter how thrifty your family might be, and no matter how cheap your homemade burritos, the significant rise in grocery prices over the past 6 years -- and the fact that the rise is continuing, not stopping, and certainly not reversing -- is just a mathematical reality. It can't be denied. It is a fact.

Grocery prices have gone up by 30 percent or more this decade. I'm happy for you if your family isn't significantly impacted by this problem. But it is real. And it is a problem. And conservatives better come up with an answer that isn't just "learn how to make cheap burritos" or we will get absolutely crushed. That's another reality.

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

@TrollyP71 @RaininCNotes @VladTheInflator Yeah if rates drop prices go up. That's how we got here.

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

The music stopped but the boomers are deaf.

[Jon Brooks @jonbrooks]

The housing market already crashed.

Not prices. Liquidity.

Nobody can afford to move anymore.

Transaction volume is sitting near record lows.

[jake rhodes @jakebrodes]

I miss this shit so much. You could smoke it all god damn day and be kinda fucked up and sandwiches tasted awesome and the worst music in world was amazing. But then the whole industry got hijacked by guys who talk about “terpenes” or whatever the fuck and now weed sucks ass

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

@TrollyP71 @VladTheInflator If prices stay stable it will be a decade before they're affordable at these rates. Point being people need to swallow their pride and sell at whatever the market will bare or we are just stuck here in perpetuity.

@JhaveriVatsala Iran funds all the weird freaks. That's the whole point.

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

Just put troops in there. The IRGC will shit themselves and run just like Iraq's revolutionary guard and we will own Iran by football season. Grow a pair.

[Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs]

"This is a last chance," Trump says of Iran. "This is a last chance for them to sign a good document." He said talks are happening but declined to say where. "I mean, they're going to go quickly, one way or the other," he said. "We're talking about the strait, the opening of the strait, having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open, and that's phase one."

[Doug Reynolds, MBA, OHD, FSAc, Br. ICM, QFA @DougReynoldsTSD]

In retrospect nobody exemplified the sound of the 90s like Billy Corgan. Nobody even comes close. Even listening to Celebrity Skin by Hole it exudes 90s summer vibe.
