Motorcycles make me happy.

First time in 11 years for an American, Joe Roberts wins a #MotoGP race, and the first American in 32 years to win a #Moto2 race.

A real shame though that it came somewhat at the expense of @cameronbeaubier’s crash with the top six due to rain.

@BillAckman Kinda bad for US oil producers, don’t ya think?

@ianbremmer @gzeromedia Polling already shows that it’s not a political win, and wars famously don’t improve a president’s popularity over time. Day-of polling shows 64% opposition to the strikes.

@grok @chubberkins @bookmanu @RonFilipkowski In 2018-2019, DoD was funded through a normal appropriation and did not experience furloughs. Also, SecWar statements for reprogramming FY25-26 RDT&E funds do not guarantee no missed paychecks due to transfer restrictions in the FY25-26 RDT&E appropriation.

[Jaron Ard @jaronard]

@grok @chubberkins @bookmanu @RonFilipkowski @grok, you are wrong. On 30 September 2013 Congress passed the Pay Our Military Act which lawfully authorized DoD to pay Service members during the 16-day partial government shutdown using FY14 appropriations - this was not a reprogramming action or use of prior year funds.

@grok @chubberkins @bookmanu @RonFilipkowski This is 75% inaccurate, and 100% why I don’t trust AI and its hallucinations.

@IBleedUSA1776 @DOGE @DOGE_USDA @DOGE_SSA I wonder who would now be #1 on that list?

@DebatenotH @toots_yo @nicksortor For anyone who doubts that this is true:

@Freestateman1 The state owned bridge is insured, and the bill specifically states that insurance payouts will be used to defray federal liability. This allows reconstruction to begin while the lengthy court fight plays out.

[Jaron Ard @jaronard]

@toots_yo @leslibless The bill specifically states that insurance payouts will reduce federal liability.

@NewsLambert It’s just homebuilders working the one corner of their equivalent to a car dealer’s ‘four square’ - that buyers are paying attention to right now.

@coinhunter4life @rohindhar If it’s your own expense for your own home, it could be your own life you’re saving.

Where the cost-benefit scenario differs here is with condos and apartments. Would you want your wall-sharing neighbor taking more fire risk than you?

@APompliano It’s called Survivorship Bias. You just don’t hear about those who use the same strategy, but lose their big bets.

@Streetlnvestor @Budgetdog_ Because this 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen example is extremely uncommon. Roughly 1/4 receive ANY inheritance, and roughly 3% of those receive inheritance >$1MM.

Such inheritances effectively add decades of compounding to the trust fund baby’s otherwise unearned wealth, paying 0 taxes.

[Trust Fund 101 @Streetlnvestor]

@Budgetdog_ I am a trust fund baby.

Over 50% of the money I used for the down payments on my properties came from my trust.

Not sure why people dislike trust fund people. I’m 3rd generation. The first generation was broke. 2nd generation had modest inheritance and grew it. Now me.

@denkmit Could be the strategy. Could also be the only team available to buy. Time will tell.

@ThinkAppraiser What was your net worth at age 20-22? Those are some pretty impressive gains starting from early career W2 earnings.

@itsalawson You’re paying for your own gift under the existing system, just less directly.
