Just sharing knowledge from people who live in Medellin and Panama..not an argument, sharing experiences. I only been to Tampa once more than 20 years ago. My Florida connections stretch from Gainesville to Orlando to Miami so on the other side, not the Gulf of MEXICO side.
A big part of the reason you hate Tampa is because you disagree with Florida politically. Which is completely stupid, but not unexpected. Tampa weather sucks from about May to September. We don't go outside, or if we do, its at the pool or the beach. From October to the end of April its magnificent. 80s, no humidity. But again, there are good and bad things about every place on earth. I don't expect someone like you to think like that. But to complain about shit like mosquitos and heat/humidity, and then tell me how wonderful Panama is, what a joke. Anyway, I'm done arguing stupid shit with you (which is nearly everything you bring up here). I'm losing IQ points and pretty soon I'll be down around your level, at the dumbest of your family. Have the last word on the subject, which will undoubtably be random in nature.
I don’t know if it is subjective because there will be indications such out of control treasury yields. The point is Musk is a space cadet and he truly believes the way to get inflation under control is through a large broad reduction in government spending. His only problem is government spending is not pushing inflation in a significant way. Its impact is minuscule at best. The cure for high prices is and always has been high prices.
No, I disliked Florida first because the piggy cops. That was a long time ago. I'm actually a member of the Conch Republic Navy of Key West. That was a fun night. Well until some creepy guy tried to get me to sleep in his boat. Fucking Florida deviants.
Florida has been a “police state” since the 1980s and the cocaine wars that took place there. Today Florida has one of the highest growth of gangs in the US. Jacksonville is basically a war zone right now and Orlando is starting to get out of control. Because of what happened in the 80s and the current issues the state has normalized policing from a surveillance hub and watching citizens. Florida is definitely testing the limits of a free society. But again, if you ask many of the people who live there it seems normal to allow your every move to be monitored. Boiling a frog as they say. Oh, and the water smells like a swamp there too.
Yep, Florida oozes police state. Asking a cop for directions (late '90s) to a nearby street I was told that I could be charged for wasting police time. I remember walking past lot after lot of police cruzers in Miami wondering how on earth they managed to have this many cars idle, and what this cost? So many intrusive encounters with them, I was taken aback. In most countries in the world, even Colombia, you might go years without having an interaction with police, in Florida they unclipped their guns walking past me. I was a clean cut blonde kid, short hair, just large and muscular, no tattoos or anything. I came to the conclusion it was training to always be on the trigger even if it looks super Stazi.
Anyway, the thing with @Tsing Tao is that many years ago he made a conscious decision to be a selfish prick and announced it to the world. It took me a while to remember the thread, I spotted it years ago. I'm kind of my own surveillance state, I remember stuff which is why I was a good ranger I guess. So it does not profit to explain that autocrats such as Hungary's Viktor Orbán, very close friend of Donald, beloved by the Ultra-Right, used exactly a drive for government efficiency and finding waste as an institution erosion playbook. As recently enough did Turkey's dictator, Ergodan. Interestingly, Ergodan went hard after civil servants and oddly, school teachers, following the coup to oust him. Hundreds of thousands of civil servants and teachers were made unemployed by decree, in waves. Seems dictators fear teachers because they have a strong influence on society. Imagine if Trump was trying to fragment education eh? Heaven forbid. Anyway, a normal person would agree, OK waste not good, but there are lines to read between as well. Yes, this was quite a post/manifesto. Coming to terms with my feelings. Long, sorry. Discussion in 'Politics' started by Tsing Tao, Nov 8, 2012. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/coming-to-terms-with-my-feelings-long-sorry.253056/ Its quite long so for ET attention spans, here is an AI generated summary: "Tsing Tao comes across as a bit of a whiner in that post. He’s deeply upset about the election outcome, but instead of analyzing it with a level head, he frames it as a failure of the electorate's intelligence and takes personal actions that seem melodramatic—cutting off a friend, canceling a family visit, and generally lamenting how people don’t think the way he does. It’s one thing to be disappointed in an election; it’s another to take it so personally that you start withdrawing from relationships over it. That kind of reaction suggests a tendency toward self-pity and grievance rather than resilience or constructive action."
My guess is Elon Musk has been introduced to republican senators. I told you all, Elon can “audit” all he wants. The only thing he is going to find is a whole bunch of spending red states don’t want you to find. Oh yeah, $4 trillion debt limit increase coming right up too. How long until Trump and republicans run through that money? 1.5 years?
Can you tell me how many times you think of me each night so I can send over the rent bill? But don't just stop at the original post of the thread, read through it all!
