Good to know that I can just fly to Mexico and walk over the border. :) Many jobs for Ozzie’s over there ?

I know you prefer non-profane replies, but just to add a bit of anecdotal evidence to the “It’s Too Fucking High” mindset of buyers, I offer this: My wife and really want to downsize; not because we have to, because we want to live in a smaller home. We’ve looked at Concan, TX because it remains pretty much “UnCalifornicated.” But, you know what? I ain’t paying $900k for a 2,000 sq. ft. cabin. “Fuck you. JUST FUCK YOU!” I’ll keep my house in an area where the demand is over-the-top, and where I don’t even want to live anymore.

End the Fed and the CIA goes shortly after, along with most of DC; the IRS becomes redundant and psychopathic foreign adventures end as well. There is no downside to #ETF.

Where does one get shiny gold garbage bags? I must have some.

The Sinclair and Anatole Kaletsky quotes reminded me of this classic:

"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof."

More great commentary here. Can Faddis be introduced to Trump, who has personal experience being persecuted by these people, or anyone besides Biden who uses them, as a personal campaign tool.

And the ill-conceived student loan program needs to be shut down before we get too much further down the path to the next progressive goal: free college for all.

I would be supportive of that position but more likely we will be in the gulag after the next coup.
