re: Do Illegals commit more crimes by percentage than US Citizens?
Posted by Big Scrub TX on 8/7/26 at 6:54 pm to UtahCajun
quote:Correct. We don't even know what the denominator is.
No one knows since immigration status is only recorded in Texas and no other state.
And if 100% of illegals were stopped at the border, that would be 0% new crimes from that cohort. It's all negative lagniappe.

Why did it take two months for the stay to be lifted? Flights should have fired up as soon as SCOTUS ruled.
These rogue judges have too much power and need a judicial bitch slap.

quote:I'm not sure what this means. The part of the company one should care about is earnings, with the stock price indicating some value relative to that number.
Buy the company, not the stock price.
If you want to talk about future earnings, that's fine.

I think we'll probably see SpaceX become a $5 to $10 trillion company within our lifetimes.
Current money market rates can get you a 7X over 50 years.
But in any event, it's odd to scale your expectations off of the most maximalist interpretation of Musk's statements.
This might suit your needs as an investor, but for the average person taking a look at this name, there's no way anyone could recommend it as a buy.

I plan to be there, south of Darwin in the outback, for whatever works out best. My brother and I improvised 2017 and 2024 and nailed both. A total eclipse is just completely awe inspiring. And I want to go explore Australia in a camper in 2028 anyway, so why not?

Difficult album to find now.
In any event, it's a great album. Losin' Your Mind got some MTV play if I recall correctly.
I played Found a Friend and Sweet Jesus on a loop when it first came out.

So you think it’s absurd, implausible, and foolish to think that Citadel released that note on rate hikes as a final dagger to Leopold’s portfolio?

quote:Because in the early 70s, many of them were expelled by Idi Amin's brutal regime in Uganda, with a lot of them coming here. This was during the major energy-driven recession. They bought aged motel stock that nobody wanted at rock bottom prices, lived in one room in the motels with their families, worked their hands to the bone running the place and then got just enough cash to buy the next property. Wash, rinse, repeat.
How come every hotel I stay in is run by the Patel family?
I think it's crazy and un-American to hate them for this. It's the most American success story one can imagine.

quote:You've got a lot of words that don't really say anything. The valuation is absurd. That's all that matters.
I disagree about the stock price being irrelevant. The current stock price is relevant because it’s a psychological / institutional wall that is being formed and may be defended through the release on 8/6.
I agree about the floor showing up once the first 20% dump happens. I’m just betting the floor doesn't go below 100 (hopefully not even 110 as my cost basis is sitting in low 120s and I can’t risk buying any more shares).
If it drops super low like you're thinking then I’ve bought in too early.

This is a future movie.
You got a shot at NBIS at 140s and many,many others due to Leopold being margin called and Citadel buying his book.
WOW. Boy wonder got played.
