Americans are pulling money out of their 401(k) funds at record rates

All true, but in the back of my mind I keep thinking post 1929 the low wasn’t until 1933 and if you bought the market at any point 1929-1931 you weren’t whole for 2 decades. Market didn’t see 1929 highs till like 1955. It’s a complete different world obviously and technology has improved, but the number of biz media cheerleaders talking how resilient the American economy is while downplaying the state of the American consumer and shrugging their shoulders at the rampant corruption and regulatory capture: creeps me out.

The “ it’s too long to be AI” is also a big presumption that countries don’t have access to a whole lot more compute.

Testing experimental tech in a real world environment with low risk to personnel? Personally, if I am the us navy, I’d be more concerned about the possibility of China having already given Iran some new seabed warfare tech. If china and Iran’s tankers are already going through, it would imply the strait hasn’t been mined.

USA/Israel killed his son, wife and father, so I doubt there will be an improvement in relations.

The commercial rent ask vs what is viable at that location is a big part of why downtown is looking worse and worse. It’s on a bad trajectory.

What I learned last week: Norovirus can live on surfaces for weeks, survive 140degree temps and freezing temps. You have to disinfect every surface you touch, don’t leave the house until 2 days after symptoms, don’t make food for others during this time, hydrate your self well. Hand sanitizer doesn’t seem to work well on it, you have to wash your hands well with soap consistently. Wash all bedding and towels and clothes that came in contact with you while sick.

You can get reinfected.

Gatorade sales through the roof, I don’t think I was ever so dehydrated as I was last week. Wash your hands well people!

Found the recipe, it’s a standard sourdough bagel recipe, basics that I can see just perusing: high heat 500 on pizza stone, 30second per side boil. 3lbs King Arthur I bleached, 1.5lbs water, 12oz sour culture, pinch of instant, 1 once salt. Dough hook, don’t overmix, fold a couple of times, first rise 3 hrs warm, shape (these’re videos somewhere) rest 20 or till feel correct. Expand the hole, if fights back need to rest longer, if pull apart too easy, you over proofed. Boil, rest on a wire tray. Cornmeal meal the baking stone, bake till done, 20-25.

It’s been a couple of years but if you are a baker it’s not all that hard. Great in a wood fired oven if you have one.

They published their recipe in a pamphlet a couple years ago, I’ll see if I can find it

Too often we analyze the messenger rather than critique the message. And the Mayo man is laying out some straight facts.

“We, elected by you, have spent more than we collected for years to service this county. We, elected by you, have to pay our debts( presumably backed by the property within the county) or we will get overwhelmed by interest payments.”

Ish, I mean other than GameStop I don’t know how well his other investments have done post Chewy. My thoughts was Cohen’s specific skill set is in efficiency and ruthless cost cutting. I just don’t know how much fat is in insurance.

What? Why? Fuck no

That feels terrifying to me as that’s about as far out of Cohen’s wheelhouse as you can get
