This can't be right...

How can the crypto currencies be up...and the Dollar Down Under, and the Yuan, and the Euro, and just about everybody but the Pound which is only down slightly...where's the other side of this balloon?!

Commodities?  Au Ag not too impacted...

Somebody dump a sh*tload of hogs for other sh*t?   ::laughonfloor::

Even after the last cratering of prices and a return to higher (but in many cases still not above past peaks) I find this incredible -

Obamunism did so much damage to property values and jobs and wages.

If another dipstick like Obama gets control of the government again it could get fugly quick.

Still, another dipstick like that and it might not matter anyway...leverage up!

Now browsing real estate in Cedar Rapids.  Very nice to see I can get something for much cheaper than the Twin Cities.  And in that rare city that's Republican run.  And it shows.  There are no bad neighborhoods in CR.

Yeah that looks like a safe haven, might get some thru-traffic of a nefarious sort, hopefully they blow on through.  Some of the surrounding towns that have a high concentration of itinerant farm laborers primarily of Latino heritage and questionable legality have the attendant crime issues.  Cedar Rapids' primary challenge seems to be periodic flooding of the Cedar River.  I could see myself settling in the Czech Village under the right circumstances.

The meat packing plants suck in the low skilled immigrants who are a net drag on the taxpayers.  Any of them near Cedar Rapids?

Ever notice that when liberals threaten to leave the US it is always to mostly white countries with stricter immigration laws than the US?

Do what the liberals do:

The median age in Cedar Rapids is 6% lower than Iowa. In Cedar Rapids 86.69% of the population is Caucasian. In Cedar Rapids 6.21% of the population is African American. In Cedar Rapids 2.66% of the population is Asian.

Yes, just have to stay out of the flood zones.  I don't need that hassle.

I don't remember any meat packing plants.  The major employers are Rockwell Collins and the various oats plants. 

It's big enough to have all my favorite places, except Ikea, and small enough to not have the dysfunction setting into the Twin Cities.

I think I am at the point where I am no longer concerned with stopping a bad idea...in the end if it helps bring about a reset...why stop it?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-21/amazon-reportedly-rolling-out-amazon-pay-digital-wallet-physical-stores

This will pressure credit card companies...may lead to greater risk-taking and the several joys that that can bring to bear...pressure brick & mortar outlets who have taken one beating after another and driven many out of business...bump up the non-working populace...make short-sighted pols jack up taxes...

Oh, the obvious enhanced data-harvesting of users cannot be forgot about!

More things like this can accelerate some serious drain-circling.

Speaking of data mining, I order a fresh turkey from Whole Foods (now Amazon) every year.  This year, as was last year, they asked for an email address.  I told them I don't have one, and the young lady with whom I spoke then informed me she couldn't place my order without one.

O rly?

I huffed, so she forwarded me to Customer No-Service, where the nice man took my order and used the Team Leader's email addy.

It's like me using an FBI fax number with merchants...it's still stored in the Best Buy database!

This isn't that hard to figure out...

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-06/trump-i-wont-be-here-when-debt-crisis-goes-nuclear

...Donald surely knows the continued run up of debt is unsustainable and can only end in collapse and chaos.

Any reasonable course corrections have passed the point of no return...and it is a global game of mutually assured suicide at this point.

Anything he can do economically, fiscally, politically etc...is a stop-gap, a momentary pause-button.  That's it, nothing else to read into it.

Greater corruption?  No!

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/27/theres-been-a-mysterious-surge-in-100-bills-in-circulation-possibly-linked-to-global-corruption.html

When I think global corruption I think Clinton Foundation, Epstein perv ring, Mueller and the DeepState...progressives in general.

If a thriving black market economy I'm OK with that...and am looking to engage in.   ;)

  I see it as no more than a century note just doesn't go far so smaller bills like 1 to 20 dollar bills are only used to break a hundred but don't buy much.

Anyway...must be older farts (younger crowd doesn't seem to care for cash...card & digital works all the time for them, and no I have no desire to turn my cell phone into a wallet!) or crooks!

The democommies want continued economic destruction so as to usher in more totalitarian control...Trumpers have had enough and want the charade to end and some semblance of a return to freedom...

And according to some data...the people are reacting like most socialist shytholes react...

...but hey, I like my drink...but are they drinking for enjoyment or for depression and destitution?
