The world will want another FIFA World Cup in the US.

[Jeff @Vargas_da9]

Imagine if World Cup tourists found out about American boat culture?

When the Iran war began I bought two shares of VOO at $595. They’re at $664 now. Cool!

All this AI shit is just making all computer programs slower. I don’t need AI to open a pdf.

The United States, in the last 3ish months, has captured the leader of one country, bombed the piss out of another country on the other side of the planet, and sent a group of astronauts on a sightseeing trip around the moon.

Crazy to think about!

@ick_real Banks can’t discriminate based on age, but they will go after your assets once you pass.

The first 3-5 years of homeownership suck

[Jeff @Vargas_da9]

@ick_real Resources…that’s it. We need stuff, other ppl have it and we want it. We can purchase it or take it. Or, we have something and need to protect it.

My dad is a trucker. Out of 1,000s of trips, maybe a handful of times have they asked what’s in the trailer.

A perfect example of a waste of California taxpayer dollars, is the Agricultural Inspection Station coming back southbound from Las Vegas, into California, on interstate 15

California relocated the facility from just outside Barstow, to just over the border of California and Nevada.

They built a huge new facility, and actually moved the interstate route, to go through it, and built several inspection booths, to funnel cars through individual lanes.

Of course An Agricultural Inspection Station is necessary, to prevent out of state insects, from entering California and destroying the immense Fruits and vegetable economy of California.

I have been to Las Vegas, and back, a total of 8 times in the last year.

During everyone of those times, not once has any the of the inspection station booths, been occupied.

There are cars in the parking lot, but no one occupying the actual inspection booths.

So my question is, what good is it, literally moving the Interstate, building a brand new facility, if no one ever inspects anything?

A huge waste of money!

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

In accounting, conservatism means you will most likely book a loss right away. However, a gain is treated differently.

$42.22 per ounce.

That is how the U.S. government values its own gold.
In 2026.

That price was set in 1973. Gold trades above $5,000 today.

The U.S. holds 261 million ounces.

On the books: 261M × $42.22 = $11 billion
At market price: 261M × $5,050 = $1.3 trillion

Same gold. Different accounting.

Most central banks already mark their gold to market.
The U.S. still uses a Nixon-era number.

If revalued, over $1 trillion appears on the asset side
overnight.

No taxes. No new debt. No money printing.

The largest accounting shift in modern U.S. history is
sitting on page 14 of the Treasury balance sheet.

Nobody reads page 14.

We can blame a lot of players for the #Rams loss…but that MF that muffed the punt deserves all the blame!!

We are all pawns in someone else’s chess game. Much more powerful people are pulling the strings with the purpose of growing their own influence. Don’t lose your life to push someone else’s agenda.

Sometimes I want a new sports car. Sometimes I want an old Toyota. Sometime I want an even older Toyota.

Need to make up my mind soon.
