This is complicated and something you have to understand the stock market to even imagine. Certain stocks retain value way above what may be considered their value because of the propensity of other people to buy the stock. Tesla is something that falls into the realm of what people will call ‘shit beta,’ which is a stock that only has value because people know that it is volatile and will therefore have value. It’s hard to explain, but think about it as a diamond or a Birkin bag - it’s valuable because people think it’s valuable, way beyond what it’s actually worth. And as long as people think that it’s going to be worth one dollar more than it’s actually worth right now, they’ll buy it. It’s ridiculous, but here we are.

District 9

As a smaller business, I have two major projects coming out this summer; work for the local school districts and a large remodel. I’ve already ordered all the parts for these jobs in expectation that my parts house will have great supply right now, but it will dwindle off as the projects come due. Major management companies I work with seem aware that prices will increase, but they don’t seem to be accounting for the fact that all of us will be fighting for fewer parts.Fortunately, I have a good relationship with my supplier, and parts of these orders are going to sit on the shelf with my name on them to be picked up in the near future, helping push out my cost.

This is a nightmare, trying to figure out what’s going to run short, but at least we went through it in 2008 as a practice run. Unique to see us do it on purpose.

I like to hope these guys were tank crews, from back when they had surplus tanks.

If you dried the cheese they might take it. Maybe if you wrapped it in cello tape. Then it would be a lot like mailing a coconut.

Assuming I’m snapped back to the same part of the earth, climate-wise that’s ideal in the US PNW coming out of spring. Plenty of berries and food to forage, and I’ll probably impress the natives with my watch and well made clothes. I can probably get the native tribes to metals, and gain acceptance with my magic hand tool that will briefly shine light at night for a few weeks. I don’t know offhand where copper would be, but I know gold is in the streams, and I know how to placer mine, so I can get some electricity going with that and magnetized rocks from lava flows.

I think first contact would be the key.

I own two mavericks, it’s a fair comparison. They only look small because of the size of today’s vehicles… in the 1980’s you’d see most of today’s lifted trucks in a monster truck rally.

Might look into a gun.

Do you mean thoughts and prayers, or rifles and windage?

I still say Pluto is an astronaut.

Take a shot and say that again.

Really, it’s part of the qualifications.

Boy, she had a good night, that’s probably six guys.

Never stood for anything even before the accident.

I have a jar of oil sand from that on my dresser, ask me anything.

Gonna claim this guy as a dependent next year, because who will check at this point.

Wait, Malta is €500,000? Or somewhere else.

Technically aren’t most of us migrants?

Sorry Navajo, he’s all yours.

A very fine person, everyone is saying it.

Irony here is that the red states demand leas government and lower taxes, so the federal structure is being weakened, which will lead to the blue states forming compacts for mutual aide to compensate. Which means in 10 years the red states will start whining that they aren’t in the compacts and demand FEMA.
