Have the doctor's performed a piss-and-vinegar test in UncleMark's pool?How's the old man doing?
Out of hospice care, but still not home. He's starting to lose weight again after gaining some back. Doctor appointments next week and we've got our fingers crossed that other than the weight loss, he's as good as can be expected. He's still full of piss and vinegar, so that's a good sign.

How about putting it in Iran? 🤣Talking about gas prices, the wife showed me this one yesterday and wanted to share, but didn't know where else to put this:
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who know binary and those who don't.
That's a very good thing. Otherwise, I would have to go back to work if some had their way. 😊The market doesn’t have TDS like many here…

Darn the sky hasn't fallen as shooter hoped it would. Everyone knows that we've never had a downturn in the market like this one. 🙄 I wonder what he said when the market went down a lot more during Biden's administration....probably has a list of excuses already made up.
Does the market just not GAF anymore? My stuff is almost back to its pre-invasion high.

Thankfully. Trump Devotion Syndrome would have crashed the market.

It could cost $126 billion to build high-speed rail from downtown San Francisco to Los Angeles, according to a draft business plan released by the state last month.
The figure, buried in a table in the plan's technical supporting document, is nearly triple the original sticker price of $45 billion that was put to voters in 2008, when California passed a bond measure to fund the 800 mile rail network.
Since then, officials have blown deadlines, fought lawsuits, debated new funding strategies and drastically scaled back the project to focus on a segment in the Central Valley. All the while, construction costs ballooned. A recent CBS 60 Minutes report highlighted the new estimate, which immediately went viral.
Current and former officials cite a number of factors that drove up costs, ranging from contract change orders, to inflation, to rising steel prices to unforeseen geographic complications. When planners were drawing lines on a map in the early 2000s, they did not necessarily predict all the tunnels and overcrossings they would have to build to pass schools or roll over wetlands.

Very good news to hear! I have a few extra lbs. I would be happy to donate - if only that were a thing...
-Nasdaq "market correction" of >10%
-Dow "market correction" of >10%
-S&P 500 "market correction" of >10%
-terrible jobs numbers
- over 33% increase in gas prices in 3 weeks
-rising, not falling, inflation numbers
-travel chaos
-neverending wars with no plans, acting like it's a video game
-insisting that affordability is a "hoax"
-blockade of Cuba
-A very obviously mentally inept POTUS, making bizarre stream-of-conscious unhinged rants on a daily basis.
-Churning the chaos, perhaps to make people forget about Epstein, as if credible accusations of him diddling teens can be topped by fresher nonsense.
Do we really have 2 years and 9 months of this to go? At his rate of decline, maybe he kicks the bucket before then.
Nobody gets it as wrong as Shooter.
Trump's tariffs have done "significant damage" to the US economy.
So has his War.
"The higher energy and other commodity prices caused by the war threaten to do even more economic damage than the tariffs, further undermining growth and pushing inflation higher."

Has your gas gone down in price? Airfare? Meat? Coffee? Fertilizer that farmers need right now for planting, along with diesel fuel?
How about those soybean prices, after we gave away Chinese market share to Argentina?
Have we helped Cuba? Venezuela? Iran?
How do you like it that the "2-to-3 week war" with Iran is in its third month, and the new goal is to apparently get back to how things were 4 months ago, with the straight open.
How do you like having a POTUS who tweets insane policy on the crapper at 3AM, then has to go back on it during the daylight, when reality hits?
How do you like having a POTUS who keeps insisting that affordability is a hoax?
How do you like having a POTUS protector of pedophiles who keeps insisting that the Epstein scandal is a hoax?
The only thing "fixed" since my initial post is that the market correction (real at the time, 10% drop) has since been reversed. Great. That's a nice dessert after a never-ending bullshit buffet.
