@OilCoIntern @indexnforgetit $3 for coffee that’s been sitting in an urn since Columbus landed in North America
Reasonable.

1 egg = $2.25
2 eggs = 3.75

And zoomers will tell you dead serious lunch costs $26
Nick Wholesales Houses@NickMaccini
There was a point in my life before wholesaling where I was so broke that my entire diet consisted of the cheapest eggs I could find, and 1 rotisserie chicken per week (would get 4 meals out of for $8). Sometimes I think about those times
English
@OilCoIntern @indexnforgetit Diners can be good, but even with them the prices have just risen so much
English
@Cotiosboss @indexnforgetit Very true. The only decent food to get for less than $20 is one of a few slop bowl options.
English
@indexnforgetit @OilCoIntern And eating out has not only become so expensive, but the quality is just not there. Not even talking about value (which is even worse), but just the quality alone is terrible in many cases
English
@nayibbukele @ZubyMusic Makes sense. Didn’t it take 25 years to recover from the Great Depression? Or something like that.
2030’s is when we “recover” from it. But that’s even a stretch because government keeps printing money.
English
This may be unpopular, but we never escaped the 2008 financial crisis. We just shifted the pain.
English
@indexnforgetit My theory on this is wealthy people don’t have time to be petty on insignificant matters
That’s not a jab at anyone, in fact many things get missed because they don’t make the time to look at the details
English
I ran a body shop in a small town of 21,000 about 30 minutes from me
Shop did great work... but I'd guesstimate 30% of owners who came to pick up were not happy with something
I'm talking the most petty of concerns, even things they say we damaged that were there before
Fast forward to a body shop in a wealthier town within a major metro, I'd bet this number is closer to 2%
Helping broke people sucks
LifeMathMoney ₿ | Unapologetic Truths.@LifeMathMoney
If the client is broke, they will be disappointed with whatever service/product you give them and will always think that you are "overcharging" them In the long run, you are better off rejecting broke clients who you think will stay broke forever They will consume a ton of your time and give you a ton of headache, and will NOT be happy with you in the end.

@BowTiedSerpent @BowTiedBull I would add to the list that most small businesses don’t want to spend on AI. They’d rather have an actual person. Within reason of course.
English
@BowTiedBull The bear case for AI is that the average employee at mega-corps are too stupid/uncreative to figure out use cases.
English
AI is supposed to replace jobs
AI revenue is non-existent right now
So which happens, AI spending was overblown or people start losing jobs?
Then you realize the same outcome if either happens.
English
@CircleOfComp @TheAlphaThought @indexnforgetit “Garbage”, no.
But not a “guaranteed” way to get rich like it’s typically portrayed
English
@TheAlphaThought @Cotiosboss @indexnforgetit Its not liquid. Absolute garbage as an investment vs equities. How much do properties take to maintain? Returns are lower. Need we go on.
English
"Real estate isn't stable, it could crash any day now"
English
@indexnforgetit @TheAlphaThought Though technically you can leverage your brokerage account if I remember correctly
But your point holds true
English
@TheAlphaThought Chart leaves out leverage which is part of the secret sauce
English
@indexnforgetit @itemforty Albeit, most of these require several years working in the field (or/and education) before making that kind of money

It breaks people's brains on here when you tell them there's plenty of $100k+ jobs available in sub-1million population areas where the cost of living is reasonable
English
@WallStreetMav Top 25% in the middle class will be around in 10 years
20 years? Unless something starts changing, the middle class will be gone
English
Will we even have a middle class in 10 years?
It seems like the middle class incomes $60,000 to $150,000 are getting crushed.
The 3rd world commonly has their upper class top 5% and almost everyone else is poor. Very few in the middle.
It seems like the USA is heading that same direction.
English
@AoverK @CartuneNetwerk These kind of people won’t be replaced. AI will actually increase the need for them, not decrease.
English
@CartuneNetwerk If anything demand on the high end is increasing. Even with new companies or small niche teams, people can expect $200K-$400K base.
English
@realEstateTrent Very odd response. Maybe trying to mark their territory?
English
Getting stranger.
I responded that we own a strip center in Temecula, CA - which is in the same region of the country.
He responded with this (never even crossed my mind whether the owner is financially strong or not).
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
I reached out to ask the broker if his client would be interested in selling us their strip mall. This was the response:

If socialists want everything for free why aren't they up in arms about a shortage of air conditioning?
If the "grid" really can't handle it, why don't we fix the grid?
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can. Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment. A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
English
Yes, I've definitely never been around wealthy people, or been inside gyms
You got me.
Big Runners@Pointer_Chaser
@AJA_Cortes No, it shows that you have never been around rich people or gyms, and that you have no idea what the difference is between urban accountant and actual rich person.
English
@indexnforgetit @BoringBiz_ There are good ones. And I say that with a heavy bias of being one 🤣
But they are few and far between
English
@BoringBiz_ I mean I kinda get it
Never met a consultant who was worth what they charge

Kevin O'Leary on why he throws away resumes with a consulting background in the garbage
"Why would I take that risk? These are tainted people. They have a consulting disease. When they die, they are going to a lower place in hell because they are consultants."
English
@robprogressive @josiahfitness Well…..the only argument I have for supporting taxes (for any income) is the government protects the system used to earn that income. Ergo, they need funds to keep it protected.
Not saying they do it well or can’t do it better, but that’s an argument for it
English
Capital gains taxes make no sense & shouldn't exist
I invest my capital. I create the opportunity. I take the risk. I do the work. I take the chances. I accept the losses if things go wrong
So why should the government collect a slice when things go right?
They didn’t take the risk. They didn’t build the business. They just take
English
@NoahRyanCo She doesn’t actually care. Big money people do it with agendas unless they are the ones actually doing the work
If I had that money, I’d buy land, build homes to take care of people and self fund it
Set it up with enough money for it to operate off returns alone
English
If you have 26 billion dollars to deploy for charitable acts, why not do it yourself? Somebody as smart as her knows that charities have like a 1% impact rate. Why not form a militia of full-time do-gooders to make the world a better place?
I'm probably missing something
Pubity@pubity
Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott has given over $26,300,000,000 to charity, making her one of the biggest individual donors in history. She wants to spend the majority of her Bezos fortune on helping others and making the world a better place.
English
@realEstateTrent All within reason. It’d be nice if an AI tool could be used for auto replies.
It analyses the message and the sender. If it’s not important, gets auto reply.
If it’s someone or something important, doesn’t
English
Reality is that around 40% of your peers think you’re unserious when they see that auto-away email.
I don’t make the rules 🙏
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
I’ve never known a highly successful person who uses an auto-away email.
English
@thedatadavis @AoverK @CLTdevelopment Yes and no. Realistic? Yes.
Doesn’t mean we should give up and try to return to high trust.

@AoverK @CLTdevelopment This is a rather pessimistic view, no?

🏃If you're a runner, it would take a six minute mile to go as fast as this traffic on I-85 Sb headed toward Gaston...that's right 10 mph. Somehow it seems slower in a car!
