Alcohol; in general, is in a bad way. Americans are drinking less, Gen Z doesn’t drink and THC has entered the equation.
I'm really interested in watching this play out over the next 20 years as boomers truly die off. This goes for all alcohol businesses from beer to wine to bourbon.

Trump should actually be promoting work from home to make it more affordable for families to have kids by eliminating the major expense of childcare.
I've had 2 people work for me that tried to keep a FT job while also parenting, and both of them were let go for poor performance.
Working from home does not enable full time parenting 8-5 if you expect to keep a job, despite what it sounds like.

$1850/month for full-time day care (started at 3 months), plus a nanny 2 days a week and random sitters, which are $25+ per hour here.
What does a nanny 2 days a week do when the kid goes to day care 5 days a week?
Honest question.
My wife has been home with my kids for almost 4 years now (3.5 yr old, 1.5 yr old, and 8.5 months pregnant). So while we gave up her six figure salary, I don't have any of these expenses besides a baby sitter 1-2 times a month.

now the other poboys are just regular lunch meat so I get that they are not any better than anywhere else, but the seafood poboys are top notch !
The week day specials in 2012-2014 were $5 post tax for a whole special of the day after 5pm. I specifically remember Wednesday was Sausage (might still be) and I'd grab one probably 3x a month. That and shrimp were simply incredible.

I'm with you. The black bay pro is 39 but it wears like a 40-41. I live in the 39-42 camp. I would be much more likely to go to a 44 than I would a 37.
I tried on the 36 and the 40mm explorer 1 and the 36 was comically small. I know that's how history tells us it was, but it's still tiny.

I've been in the oil business for 12 years. It would require more than 500k/yr to get me back out there.
Not kidding.
Good luck.

Honesty it's one of the most overrated things there is.
A wall of beer. A card to scan. You pour your own beer. Unless you do this all the time, you probably pour a shitty foamy beer with no recourse. Once you hit 36 oz you get cut off and have to go ask someone for more access on your card.

I went to a pizza place over the weekend that had default tipping suggestions of 20-25-30%.
This was an order from a tablet, pick up pizza at the counter, seat yourself, and even a self serve beer tap kind of place. Lastly, you even had clean your own table.
My tip was $0.00.

Oh not to mention, my wife is also pregnant and due with our first child in October.
Just my $0.02, my wife had a six figure career in the medical field and 2 months before baby #1 was due had a breakdown and said she couldn't put her in daycare.
She quit 3 weeks later.
I'm not saying prepare for that as a possibility, but prepare for that as a possibility.

Congrats.
I'm about to have my 3rd, which will put me with 3 under 4 years old.
Terrible 2's is a walk in the park.
3 year olds are the fricking worst.

Agree. I also get a lot of satisfaction out of winding and setting a watch to atomic time.
