One of my favorite things about that cycle is that in 2011 the GOP bigwigs went to Chris Christie and begged him to run: they'd help clear the primary field, they'd write any checks he needed, they would give him a free ride to the general to take on Obama

and he was too much of a coward to take the shot

This is why you do market index funds, since the crazy fucks at the top of the food chain cannot let it crash. So it's "safe" and grows at a steady rate. Then move it all to something like bonds or a bigger mix when you get close to retiring.

The house we got the person ended up just doing a silent auction essentially and picked the best price after a week. I'm honestly surprised that doesn't happen more.

Bought my house in 2010. Someone inherited it after her mom died and told the realtor "just sell it ASAP, I don't want to deal with this"

we were the first to see it the first morning it was available and the realtor took three calls on it while we were there

it's gone up 150% in value since then, not counting the new A/C system and carpet we put in

we parked in the space marked "visitor" and some old lady came out to yell at us because we were supposed to park in the space marked for my aunt's condo and someone else may need that visitor spot

I'm closing on a place and the HOA is just loving shy of a G a month. Gas, electric, water are all free though as is the usual gym/pool/extras. I'm not too bitter over it, as the HOA pays the building super, janitor, engineer, security, and other staffs paychecks.

One thing I've learned over the past decade is that WW2 is extremely poorly taught in like every possible sphere. The Soviet Union played an enormously much more important role in the war than the West would've you believe, the Nazis were like 100x more horrific in how they treated their subjugants than you'd think, the actual war itself was enormously devastating, and so on repeatedly in the same vein. A huge reason why WW2 is conveyed this poorly, especially in the West, is because of Cold War propaganda purposes. I really cannot convey enough how incredibly big of a deal WW2 was back when people were actually fighting it, when they were actually living through it.

my hometown was literally on the list of German air bombing targets because we supplied coal/coke to the steel mills in Pittsburgh

if the Allies hadn't managed to fight them off in the Atlantic, my folks might very well have been exploded as kids

If I had a crystal ball I'd say drive-thru windows are going to begin to see automation real soon, fast food is being rumpus wrecked to the point where the only human is going to be in the back prepping the food. Hell, Sonic already is fully automated for the pull-up stalls, it doesn't take much to imagine moving the card payment feature to the pick up window and having "AI" (someone in a call center in the global south) take your order by yelling at the menu.

So many people have gotten used to eating in their car over the course of the pandemic I'd also not be surprised if fast food restaurants of the future ditch indoor dining entirely and get staffed by like two people. A McMicro-donalds.

Chipotle opened at least one "digital restaurant" during the plague with no indoor dining or seating. Just cooks making stuff and putting it in bags, waiting for people to come pick it up. Little Caesar's is most of the way there now with this pizza warmer box they have up front, you scan a QR code and the little door holding your pizza opens up, you grab it and walk out.
