Here’s how I think things are going to go over the next year or so. Uncertainty brought on by the new tariff policy is going to plunge the U.S. into a recession or put us on the path to one. Markets will bleed the whole time this is happening. Later this year, economic data will push the FED to reduce interest rates, end QT, and maybe start QE. This would give risk assets a huge pump. For awhile. However, I think inflation will remain high and ultimately the FED will have acted too hastily, forcing them to reverse course in 2026. At which point, I expect a prolonged recession or worse. So, in my very retarded opinion - there will be a good opportunity to make money later in the year when the fed pivots. But make your money quick and take profits cause it won’t last for long.

The more I listen the fall of civilizations podcast, the more evident it becomes to me that America is an empire in decline. There are so many parellels between the Western Roman Empire or the Han Dynasty and the USA. From political corruption to the rising gap between haves and have nots. As a species, we’ve been here many times before…

Americans treat politics too much like sports. Way too many people will support the guy they voted for even when proven that they suck. I think they do this because they look at it like rooting for their favorite football team and we all know you don’t stop rooting for your favorite team!

Whoever FSHed 130k in a single sale today. Totally not $noice. Not $noice at all. And you’re probably going to regret it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Being single and not eating out a lot is fucking hard. How do I cook for just myself? Haven’t really figured it out yet, but I need to. I want to get in better shape and start eating healthier before it’s too late. Those years are moving fast!

How big of a fucking loser does one have to be to buy a ‘Trump phone’? My god, it would just be a giant advertisement for how stupid you are. 😂

So a few days ago, some crazy MAGA guy kills a few democrats and today the president tells his supporters democrats are “sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities”. In this case, it’s pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together…

Israel expects the U.S. to always do what is in their best interest while often doing things that goes against our best intetests. At this point, I will pretty much vote for anyone who’s going to end this fucking scam.

I’ve never really been a fan of podcasts but I have recently gotten really into this one. He examines the rise and fall of a bunch of different empires through history. From the Sumerians to the Akkadians and even the Rapanui on Easter Island. It’s full of really interesting info and the dudes voice is very easy to listen to. https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com

Did you know that countries the US gives foreign aid too are allowed to use that money to buy US treasuries to then earn interest on the money we gave them? What kinda fucking scam is this? They give our tax money to other countries and then make us pay interest on it too!

I got in a little friendly argument with my mom tonight about paying my brother Thomas who passed 2025 taxes. She insists that it’s the right thing to do. But, I disagree. He’s dead. He doesn’t owe them anything and I think he would agree. How do yall feel about this, regardless of what’s legal?

Reuters has confirmed that the U.S. military is now arresting U.S. citizens. The marines are no longer a branch of the military deserving respect. They are now just another law enforcement agency who deserve our derision. When you violate your oath, you lose my respect.

When I was a kid, my mom spent $200 at the grocery store to feed our 7 person family for the week. 25 years later, I am spending more than that just to buy food for myself. I honestly don’t know how most people make it. I’m lucky and have a good career. Can’t imagine what it would be like without it.

China probably wins versus the U.S. because they’re approaching the world with respect while our leaders are approaching the world with contempt. https://x.com/rnaudbertrand/status/1933364554291110079?s=46

I think Ron Desantis would have been a 10x better president than Trump. As someone who lives in Florida, he’s continually doing good shit. We have a budget surplus, he’s working to try and eliminate property taxes, and he’s not economically illiterate. We wouldn’t have tariffs. We wouldn’t have dumbass ice raids and we wouldn’t have stupid Soviet style military parades.
