* I am assuming that there have been enough financial incentives and capex available to bring in fixed capital investments (for the machines to make stuff); cheap & stable energy; human capital; and stability in government policies – so either Trump 3.0 or JD Vance.

What jobs do you think will be coming back or created under such post-2025 tariffs?
 
I bet seeing the market up today makes you really mad.
I’m diversified but dependent on the stock market doing well. That said, I don’t watch it generally. It fluctuates day-to-day and trends up. Although these days one can’t help but hear news, no, I don’t revel or despair on any given day.

I am for America. If Trump does a good job, I’m all for it. I’m also all for science and that’s where he and I seem to differ.

Where do you differ with him on science?
 
Where do you differ with him on science?
For starters, I don’t think I know it all. I’m able to recognize that in this complicated world specialized expertise has value. That expertise includes empirical experience and knowledge, the basis of scientific method.

There’s a reason the US is at the top. We’re free to be experts and take responsibility and we delegate that to our subordinates.

Trump thinks he knows it all. He’s the Authority. He doesn’t need science.

why need science when you have access to a sharpie?
 
Bailey will just tell us he executed a supreme intra day stock trade buying at session lows and selling at session highs. He of course won't share the ticker symbol.
Did you jump in in time for todays jump?

So you can't identify any scientific differences.

Noted.

Nope. Not yet. I'm telling you now as someone who has been investing in my own for 30+ years I absolutely will not time the bottom. Nobody can, except for liars.

Coming into today I was up $201,368 on my trade. I also want to be clear I still have more money in the markets than out. I'm willing to make bets, but never have the balls to go all or nothing.

I still don't trust where things are headed. I'll lock in gains at some point of over $100k but will undoubtedly leave some on the table until I'm comfortable.
 
Did you jump in in time for todays jump?
The other part I forgot is although I do hold individual stocks, most of those are speculative stocks like biotechs.

Most of what I own are Mutual Funds so ideally when I buy back in would be on a down day.

Noted.
For example, firing all probationary employees ignores any science on how to differentiate between the quality of one or another worker and on the importance of developing expertise.

That’s okay, Dan. You’re not going to agree with me, you’re going to defend him with blinkered devotion, and I’m not interested in proving my points to someone who’s more interested in proving a specious argument than solving a problem.

Throwing back to you, identify anything single aspect of life or his presidency in which he is scientific, then I’ll see how he and I vary.
 


Red Dawn ll has been released and is a box office hit.

Overview: Chinese communists invade a small town in Indiana named Auburn and are quickly destroyed as a band of middle aged misfits named "The Dream Team" fight back.

@mcmurtry66 get that shit lib director buddy of yours on here to help write the script. Tell him shit lib is how I say I love you to my liberal brothers and sisters (I wasn't hugged as a child). Also, I want to be in the movie.

Chinese communists invade a small town in Indiana named Auburn and encounter the "Dream Team" of gravy seals. The Chinese make early gains, as the gravy seals are hunkered down at the Paradise Buffet* stuffing their gullets on chipped beef night. The seals emerge, waddling in formation, and pelt the Chinese with chicken bones and buffet-fed flatulence. While they are unable to stop laughing as this rolling tub of goo advances, the Chinese are ill-prepared to deal with the fumes and must flee in terror.

*edited to get the right feeding trough

I would have said which way a hurricane was going to go.

@BradStevens couldn't have done any better.

Auburn doesn't rate a Golden Corral. They were eating at Paradise Buffet.
 
Better get there before 5... you'll never get a table.
take notes GIF
 
I thought "chipped beef night" was a nice touch, recalling the OTF legendary thread concerning the bathroom "incident".

Macaroni and beef, to be technical.

For the uninitiated.

Oh no - you're not going to get away with that Democrat trick. You made the claim - you prove it.

I just asked a simple question that you should have easily been able to answer if you weren't parroting some Democrat talking points.

Firing probationary employees is science? I'm speechless. Even Outsie Shitter has to laugh at that one
 
Title:

The Dream Team: Red Dawn in Auburn

Summary:
In the quiet, unassuming town of Auburn, Indiana, life ambles along for a group of middle-aged misfits known as "The Dream Team." Comprising a washed-up high school football star, a conspiracy-obsessed mechanic, a quirky diner owner, and a reclusive veteran with a knack for traps, this ragtag crew spends their days bantering and dreaming of glory. But when a sudden, audacious invasion by Chinese communist forces disrupts their peaceful existence, The Dream Team finds themselves thrust into an improbable fight for survival.

It begins with a shock: paratroopers descend from the sky, seizing control of Auburn’s main street in a bid to establish a foothold in America’s heartland. The invaders underestimate the town’s spirit, however, and The Dream Team rises to the occasion. Armed with little more than hunting rifles, makeshift explosives, and sheer determination, they launch a guerrilla campaign that turns the tables. The football star rallies the group with fiery pep talks, the mechanic rigs deadly contraptions from spare parts, the diner owner uses her kitchen smarts to outwit patrols, and the veteran channels his old skills into devastating ambushes.

As the invaders falter under the relentless, unconventional resistance, Auburn becomes a battlefield of chaos and comedy. The Dream Team’s bickering and bold heroics shine through, culminating in a climactic showdown at the town’s grain silo, where they outsmart the enemy commander in a fiery, explosive finale. By dawn, the invaders are routed, and The Dream Team—bruised, triumphant, and still arguing—stands as Auburn’s unlikely saviors, proving that even the most ordinary folks can achieve the extraordinary when pushed too far.

A blend of action, humor, and heart, The Dream Team: Red Dawn in Auburn is a tribute to small-town grit and the power of misfits united against all odds.

Thanks, I was going by my faulty memory. I should have looked it up!
