Basically, saying that the goal is unachievable. So, let him try. And that TSLA's valuation is already ridiculous. He will have to deliver on robot…
Now Trump wants an emergency injunction to block giving food to hungry people!
You just cannot make this stuff up! Starving, even his own voters, for political purposes.
The cruelty is bizarre. What MAGA calls a "good week", I think.

And if you are interested in the Western Stars, I would suggest Springsteen's Nebraska album. He tends to be genre bending in his musical ev…
@Junkster Good info. Thanks. Since insurance companies have been fleeing from risk for a while now, that shouldn't be too surprising, I suppose.
I was, of course, making a joke. Still, most riskier bond funds have been doing quite well for 3 yea…
Seriously though, aside from empathizing, what can Mayors or Governors rapidly do bring down current prices enough for affordability?
Nothing much, when the rising prices, and job losses, emanate from unchallenged (and unhinged) Federal policy.

Sold my TDS preferreds to lock in some TLH offsetting on some large gains this year.
May sell other paper-loss holdings going into year-end too since PRWCX looks to be delivering another large payout as well.
@rforno. So, you did have "TDS", but g…

trump has several paths to implement tariffs, or effective equivalent. but all those options are binding and more serious, and trump will lose his ability to make daily tariff threats & c…
Isn't that only part of the picture? Not that I disagree. But, what of inflation? The jobs numbers have only recently solidified into a pattern, and inflation has been steadily trending upwards at the same time.
What will they favor, if inflation …

I admit that for a short while, I was impressed, but that ended far before his political views were well known. When I learned more about the man, the myth and h…
Anybody watched Springstein’s “Western Stars” video? Thinking of buying or renting at Amazon.
@Dr. Venture. Thanks for the helpful suggestion. I’m traveling and the VPN kicks on if using what Norton deems an “insecure network.” However, I cannot …
"Gosh, the way Republicans are carrying on about Mamdani, you’d think he had been convicted of 34 felonies, had a trail of legal penalties for various frauds, and lost two civil rape trials or something."
LOL
Bad actors are likely so far up our governments vast rectum that the full extent would give us all the heebie-Jeebies.
Definitely we should fire all the folks responsible for government security. Imagine the savings!
Well, let's be fair on that- rockets are notorious for blowing up a fair amount until they finally get everything to work dependably.

Springsteen , Dave Grohl and Zac Brown covering a classic.

Cool story.

TBUX is still working for me. But, it carries some risk I-bonds are not too bad, but limited in the total amount annually.

But, can't we blame the media for trump's utter lack of a filter. For his hateful steam of consciousness? For doing their job, and reporting what pulls the eyes to their content?
That is some great stuff! Thanks. "Reed performed alongside members of the Plastic People of the Universe at a 1999 state dinner for Havel at the White House."

Another great "story" from Robert Earl Keen. At the very end he says "Late April
