re: Share of National wealth owned by each generation

Compounding interest math says that's what it's supposed to look like. It's almost like older people, who have saved for longer, have more money. Crazy, I know.

I'll take paying upfront for superior reliability/quality with the peace of mind that comes in knowing it will be in high demand and retain its value when the time comes to get another one.
The new tacos are not the same animal as the old. They were lightweight, simple, and reliable. Now they are plastic, and come with 2 power train options i want nothing to do with.
They don't "retain their value". All vehicles depreciate, and while the end result may be that a used Tacoma isn't cheap, you pay for it upfront. There is no free lunch, and Toyota makes bank off of people depreciating tens of thousands of dollars all because they're worth a few thousand more on the back end.
I wish they would bring that $10k truck to the US.

My trade in value on my current 2014 TRD 4x4 Sport V-6 with 158K miles is 17K. It amazes my how well Tacomas hold their value.
It's amazing what they charge new. The resale price isn't a "win", it's because they're so overpriced to start with.
I say that as a former TRD Tacoma owner. High in, high out.

It's not America, they don't sue for every little thing. They welcome the event because the tourism keeps the island alive.

What’s it going to take for Catholics to admit they’ve been duped and their religion is a scam? Good lord
Dumb take.
Should we close all schools and quit educating kids because some teachers can't keep themselves from inappropriate relationships with kids? Should we close all police departments because of a few bad cops?
The good news is the rainbow freaks are free to be themselves in public these days, they don't have to hide out in the priesthood.

Or a telehandler lifting the load. Seems more likely, and easily confused as a "forklift".

I'm not a fan of widespread insecticide use, but if you do one strong application to kill the grubs that they're eating, they may find a new yard to dine in.

Was this thread started because of the Iranian ship Zagros being rumored to have been sunk last night? All signs point to that being fake news, so....

Can we ship Nakamoto off to a market in Texas yet? He's a coward who doesn't have the cojones to go after real BR problems.

Just the one. I'll be keeping an eye out this spring to see if I missed any (I probably did). What I sprayed though is not greening up and I'm about to do some St. Aug Plugs in those areas
re: Recognition Herbicide
Posted by dragginass on 3/16/25 at 12:04 pm
I never posted an update, but the recognition/fusillade combo worked awesome last summer. Smoked the Bermuda, and my St Aug wasn't bothered at all.
100% win.

Catholic Charities is in no way affiliated with the Catholic Church. They are a separate, progressive entity that the church itself is not part of. We have to go through this EVERY time this subject comes up.
re: Not sure if Trump could have handled this any worse for market purposes

YOY it's 10% up.
My cash positions made only about half of that. But, I'll start selling puts against the cash when some of this downside news cycle momentum slows. My point being that I essentially bought insurance to the downside by moving cash. It seemed to me then that 2025 would be volatile to start, and I won't try to predict how bad it will get.

This market pullback is the worst kept secret ever. We spent the entire Biden administration trying to find a "soft landing". The foolish convinced themselves it happened, and last fall the fed made a misstep by cutting rates again.
I have been primarily in cash for over a year, and it's not because I'm some genius who can time the markets. PE ratios have been insane for quite a while. This pullback was and is needed.

I don't think you meant negligible. Anyway, it's relative. MSRP isn't going to come down, but rebates and interest rates will with a big enough economic pullback/recession.
