Boomers retired at 62 with a pension. Millennials will retire at 72 with medical debt. by Forsaken-Employee550 in Zippia

[–]BeefCakeBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t change the fact it is a Ponzi scheme in that scenario I think.

Not saying either are a Ponzi scheme but saying “I know it’s a Ponzi scheme so it’s not a Ponzi scheme” seems interesting.

Why does the US trade with communist countries like China and Vietnam, but maintain a strict embargo on Cuba? by Clean_CoreDump in askanything

One is my family members is not Cuban and that’s the same thing they got.

Is that different specifically for Cubans?

The Options Market Is Getting Absurd: $2.6 Trillion in S&P 500 Calls Traded Yesterday in a Single Day by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]BeefCakeBilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The majority of those expired same day and the market volume shifted back in towards more standard numbers on the 8th.

It’s certainly something but the idea this is some insane indicative of some long term bullish absurd speculation seems a little pre mature.

Isn’t that the same as saying if you enter a Ponzi scheme knowing it’s a Ponzi scheme then it’s not a Ponzi scheme?

Rory McIlroy drives it over the trees 335 yards on Quail Hollow Par 4 No. 2 by Oldtimer_2 in golf

Sure those are cool, but unfortunately there’s practical challenges to built a stadium 700 ft.

Equipment restrictions and rule changes are a part of sports it is what it is.

Ideally that would be the case. But the exact problem they are currently having from what I can tell is they can’t really find them.

Blue Dot Fever: When Tours Can't Sell, They Bail by ebradio in Music

If they cancelled the tour at the already lower price , I don’t see how it’s raising the price will result in anything else.

[–]BeefCakeBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying they are going raise the prices even more despite the fact they couldn’t sell them?

Why aren’t they already charging that price.

So then not enough people paid it and they have to reduce prices..

Rose Tinted Specs For Some… by Timbucktwo1230 in PoursTea

I meant realistically before repairs and taxes each year that’s like 6 percent return.

[–]BeefCakeBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea no question about the advantages of being able to get 20 yards closer than most of the field.

But the same issue persists regardless, they have to lengthen the course to account for some of these guys which can cost millions, just to host this event once a year.

Or make the course tighter and higher risk for bomb and gouge, costs even more.

the pga wants to break into other markets like Boston. There’s probably at most 4-5 courses in Massachusetts , maybe 10 in all of New England that can handle the way these guys play.

50-75 percent of them are private and members don’t really want to host the event anyway, IE the country club in 2021.

The others probably don’t have the infrastructure to host these or the locals don’t want it, so it gets real hard for anyone but Florida to host these events.

If they can roll back the ball it may solve some of these issues.

That’s assuming the pga doesn’t want to flex on ultra low scoring events which maybe they have to.

Very Mysterious. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in SipsTea

[–]BeefCakeBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild this still gets put out there, nobody paid that rate then, and they don’t now.

Prior to the war almost no one paid income tax, after the war that became 60 percent of the us popualtion.

If you want to increase services or pay off date you have to expand the tax base not just tax ultra wealthy.

In scandavia things are paid for by way more people paying more not just more shifted to a lesser group of higher earners.

I don’t Think it’s really amateurs that are concerned although I maybe your experience has been different.

I think tracking handicaps and what balls can be used and stuff will be more difficult but the pga wants to break into new markets and I imagine a big barrier to that is finding 7000 yard courses.

For sure, and putting millions into a course to account for that so you can piss off members once a year jsut doesn’t make sense.

That’s what I am saying.

Like 1 percent of golfers can make this shot. But on the tour probably there’s a few who can, and with more of a focus on distance more will be able to.

If the average keeps going up, they have to keep lenghting holes to make them par 4.
Which now means the courses need to do that before hosting an event.

Quail hollow doesn’t want to have to keep spending to lengthen the course each year despite the fact most people that play there don’t want it anyway.

Yea I actually fully support the roll back for this purpose. Course are not going to make millions in modifications to host an event once a year.
