But Strickland, a two time UFC Middle weight champion, is getting punished for criticizing a foreign nation. What going on here?
I bought some after reading Stock Talk bragging on X how much he’s up. Of course it took a nosedive after I got in. Fivn also.
I won’t even try to explain it. I’ve seen bad job reports, and the market plummets. Then there are days I read depressing economic news and think the market is going to take a hit but it spikes 4%. I feel dumb but I’ll take that 4%.
Trump went from wanting to personally picking the new Ayatollah to “it would be an honor”.
I get it but this is Walmart level of funny.

Getting What They Voted For


This is a dumb quote because some people vote the opposite. And some don’t vote at all. Did they get what they voted for? Seems like the only entities that get what they “voted for” is the large corporations and elites. That’s because they invest though lobbying. You think an elected politician is going to listen to you vs someone who donated 100 mil?

Don’t be to hard on young people. When I was 26, I jobless and full of debts. I finally started to get my life together at the age 34. People do change over time because life forces them to do so. And they have time on their side which is a big asset.

Vietnam are also essentially communist on paper but functionally operate within the capitalist system just with heightened regulation and state level influence on corporations (state owned or partly owned businesses).


That’s partially correct. Vietnam economic system is very capitalistic. But majority of businesses are sole proprietorships with few regulations. I’ve been back 6 times and I’m amazed how many entrepreneurs of all ages are there. The neighborhood I was staying 8/10 house were running some kind of business…coffee shops, local convenient store, produce stand, hair washing place, delivery business, 2 food shops, a printing office. Gov doesn’t do social assistance so you have to do something.

You have scan your card to get in, wait in line who knows how long to check out, then wait in another line to get your receipts and items checked before you can exit. You can do business with Costco but only cult members defend it.

I used to look down at Sam’s but ever since I got the membership, I prefer it over Costco. The fact that you can walk in, scan your items and walk out without being stopped makes it better. And their online ordering systems is way ahead of Costco’s Jurassic version.

He is good. I was paying I think 80/month. Now he’s charging 180/month. I can only dca 1k a month so it’s doesn’t make sense for me.
