Saying Buffalo is more of a hockey town than football is one of the dumber takes ever

We are currently experiencing life at “full volume” I now feel even more compelled to outsource nearly everything that is not 1) building the practice 2) helping out with the kids 3) building an advisory community The opportunity cost of hours has become way too high

@EconomicsBrett @Cavitation23 @stoolpresidente All that proves is that Buffalo is a strong hockey market that has been starving to watch a competant product on the ice. Watching "good" hockey when your team sucks doesnt make you a "fair weather" fan.

@WallStreetApes How long did it take them to drive there and back? How much time did they lose? That’s the more important factor that the mom failed to teach, you saved $16 but you lost 30-45 minutes. Value of time is even more important

This is crazy American mother wants to teach her son the value of a dollar by showing him how much delivery apps are charging He was about to make his order on Uber Eats, the price is $37.17 His mom drove him to the restaurant, put in the exact same order, and the price was only $20.96 That’s almost double the price for the same order, just because you’re using a delivery app When Uber Eats first launched a delivery fee was only $3 Now in 2026, studies show delivery orders average 80% more expensive than the same pickup order Insanity

@WIguyinMN @SteveOnSpeed How come I didn’t think of that? Better off to just blow the money on fruitless endeavors, you’re right. Look at historical inflation data on home price. Very inaccurate statement.

@EconomicsBrett @SteveOnSpeed By the time you spent 4 years saving up that 3.5% down payment, the market value of that $400k house will be $550k, and even if you could afford the down payment, you salary didn’t go up at all so you can’t afford the monthly payments anyway.

Let’s do some simple coffee math. Average cup of coffee: $3.00 Workdays in 2026: 262 A cup of coffee every workday: 262 × 3 = $786/year. If you think saving $786 a YEAR is a game-changer, you’re aiming way too low. Skipping small joys isn’t the path to financial freedom.

Right on cue - just now, right in front of my eyes at a Duane Reade in Manhattan: A guy casually grabs a bunch of candy and heads for the door. One of the employees follows him, stops, and says, “Do good.” The guy responds, “Who the #%$ are you?” and tries to intimidate him. He walks out. The employee turns around and says to a colleague: “I wish I could just knock him out.” If you want to see this happen again and again, go hang out inside a CVS or Duane Reade in Manhattan And yes things are locked up because otherwise they would get easily stolen with zero consequences. Yes this is reality, and the majority don’t seem to want to see it changed. One of the mysteries of life.

We’re in Hudson Valley and I have to admit it feels really nice that all this stuff’s not all locked up like it is in NYC

When I said “no rolex until $200,000 invested”, someone told me by then I won’t even want the rolex anymore. It kinda hit me lol. For someone who waited to hit a certain amount of money stacked up, has this happened to you?

Hal Steinbrenner is never selling the Yankees. Hate to break it to everyone. It makes zero financial sense for him to do so. George Steinbrenner paid $8.8M for the Yankees in 1973. The franchise is worth roughly $11B today.. That is one of the greatest capital appreciation trades in American financial history and Hal is doing everything in his power to never cash it in. A sale today generates a $9.4B taxable gain and a $3.5B tax bill at blended federal and New York rates. Hal isn’t writing a $3.5B check to Uncle Sam. So he’s not selling. The Steinbrenner family will borrow against the franchise instead. Loan proceeds aren’t taxed as income income. The interest is deductible. The asset keeps compounding. You’ve unlocked liquidity from the appreciation without triggering a taxable event that would cost you $3.5B. The Yankees did $705M in revenue last year and reported $7M in EBITDA. A business generating $705M and barely breaking even is not mismanaged. It is managed precisely. Every depreciation schedule, every interest payment, every deductible expense is sheltering income that would otherwise get taxed. The accounting losses are a feature. Hal will pass the franchise to his kids at a stepped-up basis and they will run the exact same play. Think of it this way: Hal is sitting on an asset worth $11B that he effectively inherited for free. If he sells, he hands $3.5B to the government. If he never sells, he borrows against it, lives off the proceeds, deducts the interest, and eventually passes it to his children at full value without anyone ever paying the tax. The Yankees payroll debate is a distraction. Hal isn’t running a baseball team. He owns a generational wealth vehicle that just happens to play baseball.

@rationalyankee Hal need to sell, he’s make 10-12B
