Actual spread of farmers.

5% intelligent well educated people with an above average understanding of their business.

15% solid businessman with a good understanding of economics and business.

20% mechanics who run large equipment and farm on the side.

60% drooling idiot welfare babies sucking on the teat of government subsidies.

I am thinking we haven't seen anything yet on this one. This one could decrease the total value on the exchanges by 75% or better.

If the orange cheeto doesn't reverse course, massive layoffs will begin in 2-3 months as companies run out of cash.

The great depression was so deep and long because they thought tariffs would help them get out of it. Surprise, it didn't work.

Like one that put Brazil as the leading exporter of a crop that the U.S. used to dominate.

Translation: the market and industry will react like it was bombed with multiple nuclear bombs.

I sold out everything back in Feb. I even processed a 401K to a roll-over IRA just so I could hold the money in cash. The money-market account is paying around 4% right now.

This orange moron is going to cause a massive worldwide recession and a depression in the U.S.

I'll reinvest in a few years.

Get it serviced, the most common cause of lack of water is sediment buildup around the heating elements.

If everything else is fine and the kids are older, turn the heat up. The tanks are all designed to go up to 140F. However by default the setting is lower in the US to prevent scalding 120-125F.

The main draw of movie theatres was a better entertainment experience. A good movie on a large screen with excellent sound.

At my home I now have a 60" TV, surround sound speakers, comfortable couches and the ability to watch any movie/tv I want for free from pirate streaming sites. It's better than any movie theater in my opinion.

The problem, there's nothing I want to see. The vast majority of stuff produced due to the extreme consolidation in the film industry is absolutely trash. Lack of competition has led to film studios producing mediocre garbage in a never ending quest to make guaranteed money.

So my teenager uses the setup to play video games on.

Not an expert but this is how I see it.

Ukraine has had limited options for strategy on this war. Russia had a massive equipment/ammo advantage at the start. Ukraines has been limited. So any major push with a major loss of equipment would hurt Ukraine more than they gained. Ukraine has spent most of the war on the defensive grinding down Russians stockpiles.

In order to win the war, Ukraine has to destroy most of Russias stockpile of munitions first. Then a push across the front to reclaim territory is possible. Small pushes like this are to force Russia to move more equipment especially artillery closer to the front so Ukraine can knock it out.

The weird thing about sovereign nations, they are sovereign.

A government can borrow 5 trillion in funds from banks in another country and just not pay it back. Sovereign nation, they can do that.

Sign a treaty saying that they won't bomb the shit out of their neighbor. Then bomb the shit out their neighbor. Sovereign nations can do that.

Make an agreement with a delusional geriatric giving them mineral rights to half their country. Then invalidate it when the idiot is out of office. Sovereign nations can do that.

How to sign a PDF.

  1. Print the PDF onto paper.

  2. Sign the paper version.

  3. Scan the paper to a PDF.

Yeah, I know it's stupid but I did it 4 times this week for vendors. I do save some paper by getting a double sided scanner.

Internally all of my business activities use electronic signatures not in pdf's.

There's been a few days over 200. However it is the highest.

Russian has lost over 14,000 artillery pieces this past year. That's a massive number that is depleting stocks extremely rapidly. Russia also reportedly only has two remaining facilities that can produce artillery/tank barrels at the rate of 50 per year.

Ukraine is so kind. Making sure all that ammo went to good use.
