Sovereign wealth funds
Generally speaking a SWF only makes sense for a country with a surplus. For the US, a SWF either results in more government borrowing or alternatively cuts to other government programs to fund the SWF.

Non-political tariffs thread
We already have a good example of the impacts of tariffs from the first Trump administration with washing machines. He imposed a 20 to 50% tariff on residential washing machines in his first term. The tariffs expired in 2023. Immediately after imposing the tariffs, the price of US made washing machines increased greater than the overall rate of inflation. Samsung and LG ultimately ended up putting a couple of plants in the US creating approximately 2,000 jobs. When the tariffs expired in 2023, the price of washing machines decreased. One study estimated that each new job created by the tariffs cost American consumers $815,000.

This eliminates the first 2 choices. Fairly certain the Mormons check your 1040 to verify your tithe was at least 10%.

RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
I’m not sure he gets confirmed. They can only lose 3 Rs assuming that all of the D senators vote no. He’s a pro-choice legacy Democrat. I’m most likely going to be disappointed when the 20 R Senators who know RFK has no business in this role flip coins to see who gets to cast the 3 no votes allowing the couch fucker to break the tie.

Totally agree with this - Grilling backstrap is my goto and I never let it get above 130 degrees. Medium rare blackstrap with a baked potato always hits the spot.

Have You Ever W2'ed $1,000,000 in a single year?
To add to the 2 posts above, corporate dividends are effectively subject to double-tax. To get dividend treatment at the individual level, the payor needs to be a corporation which is subject to tax itself. There are games to be played with respect to tax-free returns of basis but the business-owner described above utilizes an entity taxed as a new partnership to avoid this double-tax (generally).

Markets still falling like whoa
At yesterday’s valuations, lots of folks were looking for any reason to sell some of these names at a profit. After a few days, the froth will start to come back because FOMO. Also, are people really going to park money in bonds?

Become an officer in a Fortune 500 company that is ultimately purchased and you can have that W2. Then hope your company grosses up for the damn golden parachute tax so you don’t lose half of it to the government.

Jeff Yass’s check cleared.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Bregman and Boras overplayed their hand. He’s a really good player who has just started his decline curve and probably was valued higher by the Astros who had direct knowledge of his intangibles.- Better Man— Robbie Williams as a Monkey
Hold on - This is an actual biopic but they replaced the main character with a chimp. I saw the preview before seeing Nosferatu and had no idea this was about an actual person. How did this ever get the green light?- Trump’s America
That’s exactly it. I learned working in Austin in the late 90s that most VC and founders didn’t want to actually build something long-term. They wanted to build something significant enough to attract the attention of a larger player and get bought. It’s essentially a lottery for the rich. Lina Khan’s actions at the FTC have scared those guys significantly. Also Andreesen seemed mostly upset that the plebeians weren’t saying thank you enough for providing some crumbs from your table.- Trudy's in trouble
I used to get Trudy’s Enchiladas Caliente which had a New Mexico style green chile sauce which was pretty good. That hasn’t been on the menu for 2 decades.- 2025 Cotton Bowl: CFP SF - Texas vs. Ohio State - 6:30pm on ESPN

I think she exits the first time she sees something which could result in jail time for her. She’s not Michael Cohen who’s will willingly break the law. She’s absolutely bought into all of the horrible but still legal things coming from TFG.- Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
That makes sense. My ranch has a 1:1 buck to doe ratio. Saturday is Helicopter Survey and Hog hunting day and hopefully our ratio is still in that area.- Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
I feed cottonseed and protein at my place. For the cottonseed, I have a tpost surrounded by wire-fencing that holds the cottonseed and allows the deer to feed. When starting cottonseed, you will likely want to top-off the cottonseed with corn as they may ignore it at first. For protein, we utilize free-choice feeders so the deer can eat 24/7. This allows does and fawns to access the feed. If it’s a timed feeder, the bucks may monopolize the feed. For better antler and body growth, you want the feed to help the health of the entire herd. In order to minimize your time, I would get the largest feeder that you’re comfortable putting out there. As long as the feeder doesn’t allow rain into the feed, the protein will stay good for a long time. - The Supremes
