about 60% of our mail is political mailers. They never make it into the house, they go right into the trash in the garage. About half of my the texts I get are political BS. I haven't read a single one. Nor have I watched a single political TV commercial or listened to a single radio commercial, or read any add anywhere. Nor do I accept robocalls. I seriously doubt that I am in the minority on this. It seems to me that most of the huge money being spend on politics is completely wasted.

My wife had a burger craving so I suggested we try this fairly new burger place near us. So we did she got a burger and fries, i got a burger and onion rings. We each got a milkshake too. You ordered on a touch screen and they brought the food to the table. It was SEVENTY BUCKS. It was worth about 25. Ludicrous.

If printed on normal paper, the Federal code would be over 16 feet tall and take an average person 46 weeks to read it. Nobody knows how many laws are in it and yet anyone could be charged for violating them.
From those laws come regulations. If printed and stacked the same way, the stack would be taller than a 50 story building. A read thru would take 9 hours/day 7 days/week for a year.
It's not possible to know them but they govern you. How can we be considered free people?

Sorry everybody. I've been meaning to post an update but something kept interfering. I'm well, but life has come at me very hard over the last few weeks (as it's prone to do sometimes). I had to make an emergency trip to Japan for work and while I was there two of my key employees misunderstood my boss (his english isn't great) and quit. So I'm doing the work of 3 people while trying to replace them. menwhile, our business has been requiring lots of attention. 1/2

Do to the nature of the business my wife and I own, we are personally profiting from this activity. However, I think the pace is too fast. The rate of occupancy of the warehouses is diminishing, even while building procedes at a fast clip.
Also, I don't think the drain on the power grid is being considered carefully enough. Each data center is analyzed and approved, but I don't see anything regarding the total increase from all of them. It's seems like a bubble but in the meantime, nice $.

2026-08-12 20:32:16 UTC

In my state of PA, many data centers have been/are being built/are proposed. Since PA is the largest exporter of electricity to other states, and since there are quite a few abandoned factories and in areas, relatively cheap land, it makes it an attractive location. Additionally, a huge number of warehouses are going up, while shopping malls are being repurposed/redeveloped as commercial activity has moved on-line and PA's location is pretty good from a distribution perspective.

For employers, labor shortages are when somebody won't do the work for the money on offer and they often live in fear of them and see them as very bad for the economy.

For a while we didnt even have a phone, now the poor have cell phones. When I was 14 I hardly knew anybody that had flown on a plane, now its hard to find somebody that hasn't. So my experience could be an anomaly but it is an interesting question. I encounter many people bemoaning their standard of living, that is so much better than I knew in my 20s.

I suppose, but, I refused to take on significant college debt, or any debt for that matter. No automotive debt (except for once in my life). I did take on mortgate debt, but never let my housing liabilities be more than 20% of my Net income.(i lived in a lot of very crappy places).
As long as you're factoring in these liabilities, you must also factor in consumption patterns.
And I don't see much evidence that a person in the middle in 1950 had as good a standard as today.

- reply

@nprofile…ng6k @nprofile…87ru @nprofile…8cpz The median income, isn't the average. Average incomes are much higher, but that number is distorted by extremely high earners.
The median is the number in which 50% make more and 50% make less. The measure is the middle of the distribution and is mostly unaffected by wealth concentration. no measure is perfect. For instance, many compare the median house price to the median income, without noting that the median house size has nearly tripled.

@nprofile…8cpz So you have to single out one thing out of a list of many? You can't tell the difference between the whole picture and some one insignificant detail?
Adjusted for inflation, the median income in the US in 2025 was DOUBLE what it was in 1950. We have a far higher standard of living.
That being said, housing prices are higher now. adjusted for size they are about 73% more expensive (the median house is 2.34 times bigger now than it was in 1950).

@nprofile…8cpz There is some truth to what you say, but I worked 2 full time jobs for 2 years along with a part time job on the weekends, then a job and a half for 3 years following that. My grandfather worked 3 jobs his entire life. My father was a chemist and worked a second job the first 12 years of his married life.
In the 50's my grandparents had one car, a 1000 sf house, on a 1200 square foot lot. no a/c, no dishwasher, no microwave and they never flew on a plane. It wasn't as rosy as all that

Coddling isn't empathy. I empathize with how hard it is, but not with the idea that one is somehow justified in giving up.
That is a pussy move. And comiserating with somebody in that position, without pointing that out, is NOT kindness. We all need to be hit upside the head with a 2x4 once in a while.
And, the odds of somebody ever getting me against a wall are pretty slim. I'll die fighting before I give up.

I lost a job when a company got hammered in late 2008. It took me 40 weeks, hundreds of resume's and 50 interviews before I landed one. To me the idea of giving up because its emotionally difficult, is ludicrus and the attitude of a loser.2/3

Fauci was supposedly pardoned by the autopen.

NO, "I need a job" is a terrible answer. As a hiring manager, it isn't my responsibility to meet an applicant's needs, it's my role to find a good fit for the opening. A good fit is a two way street. Somebody who answers with I need a job is indicating that he doesn't care if it's a good fit or not.
being desperate and actually not caring is understandable, but rarely results in a good outcome.

A man I barely knew died last month. He must have liked my appreciation of old tools bcuz I inherited 5 binfuls of his tools. Many of them quite old and many things I cant yet identify. My son is incredibly excited about it. I've been sending him pics of stuff and he is trying to identify it. Going thru it is fun. Perhaps I should have been an archeologist

@nprofile…2cvj boy was that BMW a foolish purchase. The friend could have bought a pretty nice car and paid cash for it, avoiding debt slavery, and having 1500 bucks a month to invest.
Debt is always an enemy. it turns a person into a wealth generation machine for somebody else.
