CoronitaParticipantI am convinced it’s not one particular person that is wrong about the market. It’s whoever posts next about any sort of direction in the market, the markets are bound to go the opposite way the next week! So never say what you think/want to happen.
With that.
The markets are going to fall bigtime next well. Sell. Dump immediately. It’s going to crash big time. You are all idiots for staying in this market. Get out while you can…Trust me, you’re wrong. You are a fool to stay in this market next week. I sold something this week because I know next week it the markets will be down.
There…
You are welcome!
CoronitaParticipant[quote=The-Shoveler]IMO SD seems to be doing very well,
But with Oracle and now Tesla there does seem to be a pattern forming here of the very rich leaving the Bay area.
Also LA is in a spiral and not making it easer to stay IMO.[/quote]
It never really made sense to expect that a full fledge car factory could be built in high cost bay area like Fremont. The only reason why Tesla was able to start there was because that was the former factory of GM/Toyota NUMMI that made toyota corollas and chevy novas/pontiac vibes and Tesla got a sweetheart deal after GM/Toyota ended that partnership and GM got rid of the factory.
A little story about this factory, NUMMI. It was a joint factory between Toyota and GM to learn from each other. Toyota took their learnings from GM and used them to open Toyota Motor Manufacturing USA in Kentucky, so it was more or less successful… GM took their learnings and tried to apply Toyota Production System to other assembly plants, and largely failed.
CoronitaParticipantI’m up to Level 54 mansion on The Grand Mafia.
B57. Bingo!

CoronitaParticipantI had a good experience with Bumba Windows and Doors for ordering from Milgard. They were good to deal with… I had myown installer though. The one Bumba referred me to was 4x more expensive. My contractor was the kind sduude described and included patching outdoor stucco and inside drywall. The guy in the polo shirt that wanted 4x more and didn’t include the stucco or drywall repair and just subcontracts it out anyway. Why hire a middleman and give him more and give less to the people doing the actual work?
CoronitaParticipant[quote=sdrealtor]What level is your mansion? How about your henchman?[/quote]
Level 21 and 53 respectively. But I had to spend $0.99 , $4.95, 9.95, and $4.95 to get there. Damn Tim Apple. I have a dedicated iPhone just for gaming now.
I had to find a better use for my time during some of my Zoom meetings at home…

CoronitaParticipantWhat’s cooking on piggington these days? sorry I’ve been away. been really busy lately…a friend introduced me to this mobile game called the grand mafia and it’s kinda addicting lol…

1. Some balance of gun rightscertainly should be permitted to bear arms during an insurrection at the Capitol, for instance.
[/quote]Shouldn’t be that easy for a kid to have access to one.

2. Woman’s right to choose
the right to choose MURDER?
[/quote]
Depends on what how late the pregnancy is. Obviously, should not be the first choice of birth control.
[quote]
3. Some partial social safety net heavily incentivized for people to take some personal responsibility
fair enough. does that include discharge in bankruptcy for student loans?
[/quote]
We should look at why students need get into trouble with student loans to begin with. Why is an education at state school so much, especially now some hybrid amount of in person and remote learning can be achieved.It shouldn’t be that easy to qualify for credit cards and other unsecure debt.
[quote]
4. A balanced social policy that addresses some glaring social inequity, not something ad-nausem
huh?
[/quote]Anyone who continuously talk about reparations is fringy left. It was the past, stop apologizing for something that happened decades ago. Also, punish the cops that did bad things. Stop lumping all cops into the same category. Throw bad cops in jail.
[quote]
5. Some reasonable middle fiscal policy
Too late. The billionaires won.
[/quote]Maybe

6. Some in between amount of regulation meant to protect the environment and some amount of regulation meant to protect US businesses.
Too late; the earth is burning.[/quote]
We should consider building water pipelines, putting more research into water desalinization, alternative energy, solar farms, etc. States should provide each state what they are capable of.
For example, the water drought and Colorado water shortage is going to far impact states like Arizona, Nevada, than CA because of the way those water rights were negotiated plus CA is on the coast with access to the ocean.Invest in water desalination tech, let CA be a net export of water.. Arizona/Utah/Nevada with there large swatches of desert land can run large solar farms and export electricity to other states….
the Ca bullet train idea is stupid and total waste of money. CA trades water for electricity with other states. Everyone wins.The Colorado River water rights is an interesting read. It’s been running a deficit, and it’s going to need to be renegotiated. CA isn’t the biggest loser here:

CoronitaParticipant[quote=teaboy][quote=Coronita]nothing to worry about. I think what is more likely to happen is that more people in the center are fed up with both extremes on both parties and eventually abandon both parties for something in the center future.[/quote]
Not trying to be dumb here, but what are we all considering as “extremes”?
Republican extremes:
– over deregulation?
– promote gun rights?
– outlaw abortion & promote abstinence?
– deny climate change science & dont address it?
– promote raw capitalism?
– routinely allow outright lies to propagate to their political advantage?
– others?Democratic extremes:
– over regulation?
– restrict gun rights?
– protect abortion rights, planned parenthood & free love?
– embrace climate change & enact laws to address it?
– promote universal childcare, medicare?
– routinely spin truths to their political advantage?
– others?I’ve not thought this thru too hard nor have I worded any of it very well. I just threw some words down as a straw man.
It’s not obvious to me and I’m genuinely interested what y’all think, cos if our definition of “extremes” are very different, then surely so are our respective definitions of the political “center.”tb[/quote]
I would consider extreme
On the far right:
Attacking a covid a vaccine, against mask, attacking science, instituting a herd mentality to resist the vaccine and taking some precautions. Supporting QANon conspiracy theories, and generally making shit up about covid that isn’t true
On the far left:
AOC/Warren and the likes that love to blame everyone else “rich” for every social injustice. repeatedly beating the “inequality” drum such that every deficiency, shortcoming is always a social inequality “problem”…If you take away some of this fridgy people, I think what you would be left with would be
1. Some balance of gun rights
2. Woman’s right to choose
3. Some partial social safety net heavily incentivized for people to take some personal responsibility
4. A balanced social policy that addresses some glaring social inequity, not something ad-nausem
5. Some reasonable middle fiscal policy
6. Some in between amount of regulation meant to protect the environment and some amount of regulation meant to protect US businesses.
CoronitaParticipantnothing to worry about. I think what is more likely to happen is that more people in the center are fed up with both extremes on both parties and eventually abandon both parties for something in the center future.
it’s already happening to the GOP. The more the crazies take over, the quicker this acceleration will happen.
I think what the crazy right is doing to this GOP party is the best thing that could have happened to american politics in a long time.
I’m going to start supporting Warren and AOC more so that people get fed up about that extreme too and eventually that side blows up too.
Just the day after the recall election results, I was driving to Del Mar Highlands and there was this person in a mercedes SUV in front of me with an Elders/Trump Stop the Steal bumper sticker.
First if off, shame on anyone for putting any ugly bumper sticker on a new luxury car.
Second, out of all bumper stickers, why put a loser candidate on your car and now you can’t get it off…I felt bad and was in a celebratory spirit so I parked next to the guy, and I was about get out of the car, and give him a free bottle of hand santizer..you know, so he could drink and cure himself of covid….Or offer him one of my flat earther bumper sticker to stick right over his Trump/Elder bumper sticker.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=teaboy]I’ve always thought civil war was on its way here (but much like self-driving cars, always ‘5 years out’ ha-ha.)
I’d always assumed the civil war would be between haves and have-nots, given the ever increasing levels of inequality, but I had trouble understanding how it would manifest itself from general grumblings to all out war. Surely the truly poor are too focused on sustenance?
Does anyone remember why those 99%er protests in NY fizzled out? I dont.But, a civil war along partisan or ideological lines, fueled by good only fashioned 24/7 propaganda and driven by delusional 2nd amendment masses that make up 50%+ of middle america… now that’s a path to civil war I can believe in.
tb[/quote]
There won’t be a civil war between haves and have nots. Because even if you are someone on paper that is a have not, in this country we have things like credit and credit cards that can be easily obtained so that even the have not’s don’t need to feel they don’t have not enough. And if there’s an issue, bankruptcy filing is pretty lax here and one isn’t stuck to debtor’s prison…
CoronitaParticipantI think people who tend to be more intelligent, or think they are more intelligent, generally are more miserable because they have a tendency to overthink and over analyze to the point of paralysis and cynicism over many things. Versus people who are unaware tend to just go with the flow.
No worries of civil war. No doomsday in sight.
CoronitaParticipantIt doesn’t answer the question. What about Evelyn Lynn? Is that Pornogramy?
CoronitaParticipantSo I wonder how this marrying up or down works for a famous person like Evelyn Lin.
I mean she’s pretty successful… How does this work?
CoronitaParticipanti dont mind a reversion to dumbness. I think in a lot of ways it’s better…
Dumb people often have happier lives than smart people because they are burdening their minds with some many things that are difficult to solve, lol…
