So what if the rich leave? They're not paying taxes, who needs them? The need for vendors and contractors doesn't go away when the wealthy leave. The economy goes on. Someone will take their place and pay taxes and not bitch about it so much.

Is this not the perfect encapsulation of the Trump regime. Awards a no-bid contract to a crony to fix a problem that doesn't exist, makes it 10x worse, blames Democrats and Obama, calls in the National Guard, then demands more money to fix their own mistakes.

Maybe Iran will step in to block algae traffic in the reflecting pool.

Maybe diluting the shares during the lockup period wasn't such a great idea.

Somewhat skeptical the criminal element is a big user of public transportation.

Supply side economics. Basically trust rich people. He had to know it was folly.

We also have to get involved. Our congressman, who takes hundreds of thousands from AIPAC and lives outside the area he represents, ran unopposed because I didn't find out he didn't have a challenger until it was too late to file. Local Dems should have been ready to pounce on him but nada. Had I been more involved, might have been able to primary him. At least make him go on the record about where he lives and the Israel money.

Or know that they already have harmed kids.

I talked to the plants and they just want water.

Then why does he send his kids to private college?

I've started the transition away from Google. Sucks because, sometimes, it was really convenient. But now, screw 'em.

Soon, pension funds and 401(k)s are going to feature SpaceX stocks.

Not mine. I'm selling my NASDAQ index fund next week. Thankfully the S&P said no.

Have we moved on from fentanyl already? I feel so out of touch.

Spent the last couple weeks moving my stuff off Chrome. Not convenient but well worth the effort. If you're not on Chrome they're doing us a favor. Sites will be less likely to target ad blockers if the majority of users don't have them installed.
