Love you all, and I hope your 2024 is awesome.

58 Damnit, the meme in taxation would have been so good had the point of federalism been emphasized. (Some states are far worse than others.)

And yet again, we should expect and demand the same efficiency of spending from our governments that we do from Apple or Samsung, but we refuse to do that. Hence (in part ) stupid high taxation.

100 "I ain't did nuthin."

____________

This is a useful term. It can be used in various situations that result in negative consequences. Aunt Mazie tried to cross the street with a cast and crutches while I went to grab a coffee. I didn't tell her to attempt that. "Ahem...I ain't did nuthin."

Of course, using the term "I ain't did nuthin," doesn't automatically exclude you from consideration of those consequences. And, let's face it, just because you espouse "I ain't did nuthin," doesn't necessarily mean that you "ain't did nuthin." Some people do all kinds of shit and then keep a straight face while looking you in the eye and exclaiming, "I ain't did nuthin."

101 A mind experiment.

Posit that Trump restrains his basic instincts & acts normal for the next 11 months, until election day in Nov., 2024.

Let me define my terms:

"restrains his basic instincts" means at least 100 different things he needs to clam up about, but chief among these are talking about the 2020 election; talking about revenge/retribution/"being a dictator for just one day"; attacking his political enemies by NAME, enemies whom most voters don't know from Adam; & punching down at political & journo midgets.

"acts normal" means talking about a return to normalcy; a chicken in every pot; jobs, jobs, jobs!; shrinking the national debt; increasing home ownership; restoring America's strength internationally; and taking Ben Carson as his VP.

If Trump did these things & if Biden is the DEM nominee, we're talking about a 1964-style landslide, only for the GOP this time, aren't we?

I already SAID it was just a mind experiment, because Trump gonna Trump!

136 If you don't have a life, & you therefore read all the polls with a microscope just like I do...

"Undecided" and "Some other candidate" (i.e., other than Biden or Trump) are currently at about 12-13% combined. These are voters who are SCARED by the thought of 4 more years of Biden, but who can't stand Trump.

The majority of these voters voted for Biden last time, so my greatest concern is that they may "come home" to Biden in '24. Third party candidates ALWAYS fade as election day gets closer, so RFK, Jr. is not the answer here for my concerns about that yuuge lump of "neither of the above" voters.

If Trump would just moderate himself, these voters may be persuadable. Trump has the nomination in the bag, so he has little to gain by throwing MAGA red meat to his core constituency.

>>Well, it happened. A Ford just displayed a BSOD:

Automobiles are inherently disposable commodities, it's just all of the tech they are putting into them have taken a 15-25 average life-cycle and is shortening it to 10-20.

For instance, the wizbang full dash digital display in the new Wranglers is most certainly not going to be available in 20 years if you need one.

A lot of cars have adaptive cruise control, parking senors, proximity sensors, remote entry, push to start, the radio head unit is integrated into the security system of the car, etc.

All that tech that goes into that and the OEM parts it takes to drive that is never going to be maintained by the manufacturer and the the aftermarket is going to be extremely selective with what they will support.

We very well may be seeing the nadir of the automobile industry.

208 Automobiles are inherently disposable commodities, it's just all of the tech they are putting into them have taken a 15-25 average life-cycle and is shortening it to 10-20.

If some company made something like a 55 Chevy out of modern steels, insulated it as they can do now, used a circa 2000 tech FI V8 that had about 240 hp and got 25 MPG on the freeway they would be able to sell it for around 10-15k, it would last 250-300k on average, and they couldn't build them fast enough.

That's why the car companies never fought government auto regulations. Easier and more profitable to sell smaller numbers of more expensive vehicles.."we had to..government regs you know"

I was listening to a Tom Luongo podcast today and all I can say is that he is a neo-Larouchite, though I say that with affection.

I can also give you my thoughts on dollarization and why in the face of the actual status of the Argentine peso in Argentina it is needful, as well as the background of Rothbard, Jesus Huerta de Soto, the problems with central banks, and the legacy of the Patagonian rebellion, and how those all are a support to actual reforms.
His cabinet seems pretty damned sharp, too, and old enough to remember the last hyperinflation and the dicatorship clearly.

The corporate media is endlessly disgusting. Their non-existent "reporting" on the Gaza war has been abysmal; actually not quite "non-existant", whenever there is a particularly ludicrous false claim, they'll print that.

I'll bet no one here read any story about Israel killing 11 senior commanders of the IRGC in a raid on the Damascus airport yesterday. They were there for a meeting with Hezbollah and Syrian counterparts, and the Saudi's confirmed the story. A lot of interesting shit is happening, but you'd never know any of it from any American source.

270 sorry, that made no sense. Luongo's one answer is "it is the Brits and the IMF's fault" and he was thinking that on Argentina. Argentina's woes are far more complicated than bad international loans, though those do not help in any ways, and negotiating that sort of danger is a very real need for any reform government.

Even though in 2016 she was jerking around like Jeffrey Tubin on a zoom call, nothing will ever happen to her. She is literally too big to prosecute. Biden is a dolt, always has been, with a craptastic family to match, which makes him easily disposable. Cankles is extremely shrewd, make no mistake, and I'm sure has major files of dirt on just about everybody (just like J. Edgar did). She's shrewd like a snake in the grass holding a knife in one hand to stab you in the back and a gun in the other to make sure the two bullets in the back of the head are ruled 'suicide'. If snakes had arms.
