I think it's also important to point out a line I've heard over and over the past few weeks, "It's time for other countries to stop taking advantage...

Cuts of meat and cooking/prep can only get so good. There's a place around here that does a $70 steak just as good as a $200 steak downtown at a high-end...

Tariffs are easily understood. They are a tax imposed by the government on goods purchased by you and me to shape our behavior and steer economic activity....

Some of you recall I pulled out of stocks a few weeks ago. I was chastised by people saying I shouldn't panic, and they know of so many people who did...

Unemployment is at historically low levels.

Do we need manufacturing, or do we need bleeding-edge industry job creation that will advance...

An ICE raid made national news yesterday. A roofing company north of here got busted. The workers lives are ruined and the company owners supposedly were...

Is anyone else curious why Russia and/or North Korea are not listed in the "Liberation Day" taxes?

The market opened with a bit of a thud this morning. Let's see if the tariffs are still real 2 days from now. All of this is so un-serious, like the islands...

I stand corrected. But, to that point, I don't go to casinos. I would have just assumed it was free play....

I think this one is going to leave a mark and isn't going away soon. Responses to our tariffs du jour are becoming punitive and lasting, as all these...

Call security over to deal with her, so I don't end up going to jail by dealing with the situation myself? lol...

I'd swap seats so a family or group could be together, and I'm pretty sure I have before. I'd rather swap seats than have people in my business talking...
