It’s a private company spending their money how they wants. Not really controversial.
I hate insurance companies too, but come on.

Looks like this solves the London to Perth problem and basically makes the entire world non-stop from the Middle East.
I could see O&G, Mining and Sheiks "justifying" the purchase based on that benefit and just having a crap ton of cash.

Another site said you can see the transmission still attached to the shaft. I assume that is a huge structural failure of the transmission itself or the attachment to the frame.
Those poor people.

Recording app for Apple
Posted by FOBW on 4/4/25 at 8:44 pm
Details. Grandmother wants to record herself reading books and give to grandchildren. Everybody in in the Apple ecosystem. But not on a single iTunes account.
What’s a good app where she can make a file of the readings and email, air drop or somehow get the file into the grandkids Apple Music, podcast, whatever app.
If they both need a sptwndalone app, which one?

I could see it.
However, I played it the summer it rained every day preventing them from cutting the rough. Whatever that second cut grass is is very difficult. If they wanted to protect the course some what they could let that grow up and in as much as possible.
But I doubt even that would be enough to prevent multiple 60s each day.

re: How Free Trade Took Down the American Middle Class
Posted by FOBW on 3/23/25 at 7:19 pm
Saw one of trumps guys on tv say that there is an imbalance between capital and labor right now. His claim was that to have a prosperous population labor should be getting about 50 percent of the benefit and that right now, it’s 65 percent to capital.
Back in the eighties, the president of Nissan made 40 times the average Nissan worker. Management has feathered their own nest at the expense of the American workforce since then.
And, anyone who wants to claim all of this is the result of the free market and benefits the most, be sure to explain the source and effects of legislation, regulation, tax policy, corporate capture, rigged compensation committees and compromised boards.

Oliver was the heir apparent before his arrest. He did his time and most importantly didn’t implicate anyone else. He also has a reputation for good constituent service. He will have lots of support.
Don’t know anything more than the obvious about Helena, but I cannot imagine coming to the conclusion that what the uptown ladies want is a good idea.

Cost is what I would focus on. The asset may depreciate and running costs will go up. Right size the purchase and enjoy the food and fun.
Crime is a non factor for 99% of retirees.

re: The Atlantic: weed legalization didn’t deliver on its promises. In fact, it made it worse

Legalization was a political scheme to raise taxes and give away profitable concessions to their buddies.
If it was legit, they would have just eliminated the criminal penalties.

A bbl of US oil is more profitable to these companies than any other bbl in the world.
American resources should be exploited for the benefit of Americans. We could raise the royalty rate, but that would only affect new leases. We should exclude expensing of any money spent outside the USA.
You want to make half your free cash from the GOA, use American workers to build your facilities with American steel in American fab yards.
