  1. Congrats you saved something like .00000000000001% of the deficit. But the performative part is 💯 for those who can’t do math.
  2. Entitlements and defense. Don’t be dense, there is NO way out of this without increasing revenue and cutting defense. None whatsoever.
  3. Ok, let’s phase out SS benefits entirely for the wealthy. There … cut entitlements, cut defense smartly (war is changing we can spend less and more strategically and still remain the strongman), raise taxes on the wealthy, remove the SS cap, etc etc. all of the above. any attempt to cut expenses as the way out of this simply won’t work. It especially won’t work if defense isn’t on the chopping block. raise revenue, cut the largest two budget categories, and do so in a way that doesn’t leave the poorest who need entitlements the most hungry and destitute. math isn’t red or blue, it’s just facts.
  4. doesn't sound like a red team blue team issue. i hear you, but the right answer is raise taxes significantly, cut defense spending. better get all your money into equities, it will be the only inflation protection available. value of cash will erode while you watch.
  5. Raise taxes (LTCG, ordinary income, dividends, etc), eliminate the SS cap and stop looting programs for the wealthy. Get defense spending in line, strategic but not bloated. Problem solved.
  6. I nixed quince last night on the theory that places with great views rely on the view - not the food - to sell. Glad to hear I wasn’t wrong. we have another ex pat dinner party tonight not sure where but we will check out Tostevere before we leave. more work 930-4 for me, kids Spanish immersion today.
  7. Spent the morning on Monday scoping out the meat and produce markets, tortillas too. Found a gym near us and signed up for a month membership, decent pizza joint down the street. Going to find a massage therapist tomorrow - I have one I think. wifey is playing pickleball tomorrow, she’s found a tennis hook up (I’m taking a few weeks off to heal tennis specific ailments). Clay courts so that’s fun and good on our joints. tonight we walked from our neighborhood to el centro - about a mile - and saw a classical guitarist, about 20 attendees, gringos and Mexicans. He’s highly touted and he was fantastic. Met up with the wife who was at Berlin Bar & Bistro talking up a Mississippi gay man about rainbow culture here. I think the pride parade is our last weekend here. Going to try and make a drag bingo too. a few pics from today…
  8. do we have room for more martinis... @Bevo&Pevo ?
  9. It had to be done.
