  1. Remember when the screeching idiot left lost their collective shit when Bush said the best way to protect Social Security for future generations would be to privatize a portion of it? Hillary even lied about this in 2016 during her campaign against Trump. The left brings it up every so often as a "look how stupid the Repubs are..." That was in 2000, sidetracked by 9/11, but then again in 2004 and 2005. Workers would have been able to carve out some of their SS payments to put in their own private accounts, where investment options would be limited to certain large scale, low cost index funds. In January of 2004, the Dow was closing around 10,500ish. It's now around 40,000ish. Even with the catastrophic dip we saw in 2008, that's around a 6.8% rate of return. That's quite a bit better than what's in the SS trust fund, which the Boomers are set to drain. An investment in VTSAX, or the Vanguard total S&P index, is returning closer to 8% over that period. I don't imagine SS will be around for people my age. I'm 44 now. I can't imagine SS is still there in 20 years without major major reforms. I sure wish I could have been putting some of that SS $ into a private, SS IRA and just letting it compound instead... Something is better than nothing...
  2. I called this when Roe v Wade was overturned. Dipshit Repubs are overplaying their hands. If you're going to let women vote, you have to let them kill babies. It's that simple. If you don't, you die come election time.
  3. I expect there will be a bit of a pullback as investors start to harvest some profits from this Q1 run.
  4. Don't know anything about it. Hobbs is a twat but threats are just dumb.
  5. Still an excessive amount for a situation in which everyone was paid in full and contracts were agreed and signed. But TBH, it'd have been better for Trump if this wasn't lowered on appeal. He'd win in a landslide if Trump Tower became the James Tower...
  6. RHCP. Can't stand any RHCP made since "One Hot Minute." Everything since then has been radio-friendly, overplayed garbage. Green Day. Fucking corporate sellouts. Everything since Nimrod has been absolute poppy trash. The Offspring. Same. Ixnay on the Hombre was their last decent album, but nothing came close to Ignition or Smash. Since Ixnay, corporate garbage. Springsteen Rush Post-Black Metallica Smashing Pumpkins - people were ape for this shit... I never really got it. Couple decent tracks and the rest made me wonder if Corgan had testosterone at all. Everclear. Candlebox. Pearl Jam after Vitalogy, their last good album. Lost their edge and became way too folksy.
  7. Especially those ones. Fat slobs on the dole vote blue.
  8. You're reading "moms who don't want democrats cutting their kids dicks and tits off"
  9. Married women lean republican. Single, miserable, unmarried twats overwhelmingly vote democrat.
  10. Tim Dillon's podcast is my favorite weekly listen. Play it at 1.8x speed with "trim silence" selected and he sounds completely coked out and it's even funnier. He has 1 or 2 rants like this per month that make my ribs hurt laughing.
  11. Was there any discussion about term limits?
  12. They all do cherry picking, but what possible justification is there for continuing to print, other than to point to record high equities indices?
  13. The fed printing trillions is a huge impact. Presidents have influence over the fed. Trump started it, foolishly, because it was campaign season when COVID hit and the economy shut down. Biden knew better but kept pumping. Real prices are up far more than the selective CPI indicates. If you had 100k in the bank, it's worth 75k in the last 4 years.
  14. Grand Design did a decent job of keeping their build crew in place during C-19. I have a 2022 Travel Trailer from them that's been cross country twice and about the only issue I've had with it is a drawer slide that needed to be screwed down after working its way loose and a couple small trim pieces that needed a dab of glue. We looked at a LOT of campers before buying ours. There was a ton of crap for sure.
  15. The urban overlanders are all over the place here in AZ. You can typically find a few of them in the Whole Foods parking lot at any given time between 10 am and 8 pm.

    Nobel Peace Prize winner...
  17. well, to be fair, owning Snowcunt is kindof like bumper bowling... it's pretty much impossible to fuck up...
  18. Shot up from $3.29 to $3.89 here late last week. Biden's financing and enabling of the Houthis going to really help with inflation in the form of shipping and energy costs...
  19. I didn't vote for Trump... so yeah, I'm a total MAGA... But typical response. You won't even argue the fact that you don't understand the first thing about business, finance, or liquidity so you make up personal insults. Next you'll be calling me a racist, which is the de facto declaration of defeat for the modern shitlib.
  20. The DEI court appointments showing in their dissent just what a complete and utter disaster Obama's appointments are (let's be honest, Biden is just continuing Obama doctrine). Their job is not to interpret whether a ruling "invites further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement..." Their job is to interpret the law as it relates to the US Constitution... Idiots ruling on feelings and emotions have no place in the court. At least Kagan is somewhat scholarly and intelligent in her dissents...
  21. You calling anyone a mindless sheep is the most ironic post of the fucking century. Typical intelligence and general business knowledge of the leftist voter though...
  22. You idiot leftists have no understanding of the concept of liquidity and think every rich person is like Scrooge McDuck with a giant vault full of cash. For the past few decades, holding cash has been an absolutely terrible way to build wealth. Wealthy people get that... And there's not a bank on Earth who will take foreign investments and commercial real estate as collateral at this level. three things are true. Trump is a billionaire. Trump's assets are not easily liquidated. Leftists are dipshits.
