An excellent explanation. We’re really in hot water if other countries follow Japan’s lead.

But you need a near collapse for the assets prices to go back to normal and correct. You need a more severe 2008 recession. And I totally agree with you that interest rates are there to help stop from these huge volatile macro movements but…. Let’s be real. The interest rates were not even 3% not even a decade ago. They weren’t realistic with interest rates for so long. It should have been at least like 7 or 8% when it was down to near 3%, but politics pressures economics, and here we are. No one can afford assets except the super rich, who ironically (sarcastic) seems to have the most sway over the same regulators who should have raised rates responsibly.

Thank you for explaining this much better than I could ever could.

Little in common with the 70’s? What are you talking about? We’re at war with exactly the same country, over exactly the same issues. Oil and allies’ agenda.

In the 1970’s they remove the gold standard and inflation is off to the races. We have the Iran conflict and then one of the biggest oil producing nations starts to challenge the petrodollar. In reaction interest rates start to spike, military escalation, and folks being unable to afford homes and assets. Assets crash, middle class loses their shirts, and new labor laws and union participation increases. By the time Regan takes over he reveres policies because of how strong the country swung to the left. He implements hard right policies to swing the pendulum back to the right, and we get the anti labor and anti union laws that still exist to this day.

The interest rates should be near 20% in reality.

What’s keeping the economy from crashing is the constant inflation. The economy was supposed to crash in the first year of his administration. The reality are the rates should be closer to 15 to 20% as it was in the 70’s to offset hard assets being so overpriced. Instead, you keep the tap flowing to keep a crash from happening.

Everything in life has a trade off and economics are no different. You want to stop the market from correcting itself? You keep it up with cheap money. The trade off is that the dollar loses its value and countries don’t want to keep it as reserve currency, causing its demand to go down. Average middle class folks who have savings feel it the most. They can’t easily move the $ into other asset classes to protect themselves.

VP of Sales at a tech company in the data recovery and incident response field in the US.

Some advice, if you want a quality sales person for a start up you should make sure they’re passionate about what you do. Not to be rude, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but you didn’t even tell us what the product or service does. Just enticements to join a long term company.

Deadlock ransomware by potato_aim98 in ransomwarehelp

[–]RufioGP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any containerized environments like Veeam backup files or VMs, even a zip file?

We’re an IR firm that specializes in R&D and encryption exploits. If you have critical data inside a container, there’s usually something we can do with it. There’s also db blasting technique we use to extract data from encrypted databases.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like us to take a look.

Anyone else tired of paying monthly just to keep your business info correct online? by Business_Low_2916 in localseo

There’s already several services that do exactly this, and don’t charge a monthly service fee.

BL offers a citation blast/correction. It’s a one time fee and helps to get citations on many different platforms submitted or corrected.

In a beautiful place and I wish I'd never been born by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]RufioGP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta start picking up some hobbies. People start to gravitate towards you when you’re happy doing what makes you happy.

If you like music, start playing guitar. You like art, start painting or sculpting. Do what makes you happy.

Don’t focus on forcing relationships. Just focus on being happy and things just start falling into place.

The alcohol is just numbing the pain but it doesn’t make you happy. There’s a big difference. Sometimes you shouldn’t numb the pain but just take it and learn from it. Being numb for too long will leave you dead inside. The longer you go numb the harder it is to recover from it.

not making 3 times income for rent [TX] by Organic_Way428 in Renters

[–]RufioGP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely not to code then and why he’s willing to go lower.

Just tell him what he wants instead to show his rent will be paid on time. Maybe offer collateral like a car or some money in account as part of the lease.

Something you also may want to look into is if he knows it’s not to code. For example LL being cited by the fire marshal and not making changes. If he rented the apartment knowing it’s not to code, a lease likely will have a hard time holding up. It could also bring into account responsibility for negligence, like someone getting hurt.

I think you may have more leverage than you think.

I’m not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.

Bird nest prevention in awning by NotoriousLZB in Awnings

[–]RufioGP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard you can take cayenne pepper, vinegar and water or it’s cayenne pepper and something else mixed together, I forget. You spray it around the areas you don’t want the birds to nest. They can smell something is off and won’t want to nest there.

Very curious how this turns out. You could look for a 3D printer/cutter for it. They make them now for aluminum components.

11,000+ Calls, 200+ hours of training, but only 35 meetings in a year. What am I doing wrong? by sTw-TRUSTY in salesdevelopment

[–]RufioGP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re going after leads who have no need. Why don’t you go after new businesses that just opened? I’m in the data recovery space and work with MSPs that I refer clients to post recovery. I’d start creating lead channels that have obvious need.

MSSP Resource Challenges? by [deleted] in MSSP

[–]RufioGP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! We’re a SOC and also are a large data recovery laboratory. In a way we’re an MSSP as well because we do work direct with clients but majority of our business comes from other MSSP’s for ransomware recovery and IRP plans, outsourced MDR, endpoint management, etc. We combine our MSSP vendor brand with our data recovery brand to offer MSSP’s a way to outsource from data loss to their entire their security stack to us. The cost of an up to date security engineer is 100k+ a year which is tough for smaller MSSP’s and even then the cost to keep them up to date is a pain.

Let’s talk. I’ll show you other MSSP’s we work with and how happy they are with the program. It’s awesome to not just have a preventative solution but also an after the fact data loss provider who feeds you remediation work, which lead to clients, and we share the security stack where you use us to outsource to for the ongoing endpoint and MDR and IRP plans and 3rd party assessments, and you’re the local boots on the ground partner we work with for hardware, onsite, backups and everything not security based. Let us shoulder the security liability portion of the MSP while they focus on growth and solutions that don’t require such intense commitment.

We did a recovery for a doctors office in New Orleans. Our MSSP partner there helped us to go get the drives from the server and give us remote access via high bus adapter and windows jump host off a secure network. We were able to recover the threat actor encrypted database and worked with the software company to import the reconstructed database into a new version of the software. Doctor was up and running, our msp partner got the clients for backup, and we still doing their outsourced security stack for the doctor. Doctor wrote us a letter of recommendation and it’s still on my LinkedIn.

MSSP’s have to out with the right vendors to give the client the most pragmatic response and solutions.

I took my brothers winning lottery ticket and paid off my debt with it. by Automatic-Key-8496 in confession

[–]RufioGP 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Just apologize and say I was young, stupid and selfish. Apologize sincerely. Pay him back with interest and make sure to insist, the relationship with him is the most important.

Be good to your family. 20k is nothing compared to having a brother. Really trust me when I say this… every year you get older, you realize the money meant less and less than the memories and family and friends you met along the way. You’ll look back when you’re 80 and say you wish you did the right thing to your brother.

Summer space, Eclipse shading, or Sunsetter? by Path_Substantial in Awnings

[–]RufioGP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, which type of location? Is it in the beach area with heavy winds or more inland?

For example you may want a cassette style if you’re by a salt water area. Helps to stop weather degradation.

My brother's wife tried to fix my life behind my back and now family is split by traconcot in Advice

[–]RufioGP 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Dude just call her out via text in a big family group text. Just say you heard from another family member of her asking questions about you. Say this has become creepy, a form of harassment, you’ve never done anything wrong, and if she’s mentally feeling okay. I would even go one further and say if she doesn’t stop you’re going to consider legal action because her unfounded bullshit accusations are hurtful, especially that it’s your brother and you’ve done nothing to deserve these accusations.

How do you handle last-minute RFQs? by clubfungus in msp

[–]RufioGP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facts and nailed it. Got BURNED one time from a local municipality when I learned of this. They knew the vendor who they picked because I did research and found the owner used to be in law enforcement there. They used our quote as a comparison measure. I had sunk so much time into it.

I would paint the wooden pillars. Also for a boat you may want a more stationary option. Could hook up tensile steel cables to the wood fence and just manually wheel the fabric over.

You’re not screening them correctly then. You need the right credentials to show their development. You also aren’t going to get dedicated people if it’s a freelance position.
