NOLA
High crime
Bad schools
Constant destructive weather events
Hot as hell most months
Primary industry is tourism
It's shocking the population isn't declining faster. Just wait now that FEMA isn't here to step in anymore

UPS reliant on shipping cheap shite from Amazon and temu. Hard to tell them apart these days since they basically sell the same stuff.

Then it is time to reduce prices. Economics 101
Lowering price in the near term will bankrupt the farmers and price will go up pretty quickly as most of this stuff has high turnover rates. And farmers will stop growing unprofitable crops which will hit us down the road.
The time for a new group to establish is not insignificant.
re: Stupid 401k company match question
Posted by UltimaParadox on 4/28/25 at 8:29 am
Sounds like if you put in 6% they will put in 7%.
You do not have to put in the full 7% to get the full match.
IE
If you put in 3% = They put in 4%
If you put in 4% = They put in 5%
..
If you put in 6% = They put in 7%
If you put in 7% = They put in 7%

re: BofA on why Nike may only have to increase prices 2% due to tariffs
Posted by UltimaParadox on 4/28/25 at 8:16 am
Dont think it will help Nike's stock much as they have been getting killed on margins for a long while now.
Competition has been eating them alive, margins have shrunk from 40% to barely over 10% over the last few years, this just compounds it further.
Dont see much upside here

With HHS cutting its budget by over 1/3rd a lot of that targets tax credits and subsidies which rural hospitals and health care centers rely on as they basically operate in the red without the fed gov.

If we are not exporting our corn, wheat, rice, and other agricultural goods, wouldn’t that make them cheaper domestically?
Unlikely as they will likely dump the product on under developed countries to avoid saturating key markets and destroying what little profit they have.
Then they will configure to gross less, in the next cycle.

Also, how much in subsidies do agricultural businesses depend on?
This is the type of situation where the govt generally bails them out as they grow less

Asian men are not encouraged to play golf. They are encouraged to become doctors and engineers.

With both countries now walking tariffs back, seems like things will settle for a bit
