No, this is a war to see who controls the next generation - roughly 30 years. Each generation has to battle it out. WW1, WW2, Cold War... This is the same as it always has been. The reason why it feels different is because we are living through it. The history is not settled yet. So, the uncertainty of the players of the game and potential unknown outcomes creates so much anxiety that it feels apocalyptic. But it's not. This is how it's always been.

@JonRothstein Reed Sheppard shot 50% from 3.

24 and 7 assists for Darius Acuff. The best freshman point guard to ever play for John Calipari.

@heathcummingssr This happened to me at Buffalo Wild Wings last year. I was shocked. No employees even understood it was March Madness.

Went to a sports bar today to watch the tournament. We'd been there before, good food, good beer. Walked in and they had zero tournament games on. "Working on it." After one beer they still had zero games on. Mostly baseball and football re-runs on the TVs...a few TVs with a tournament app on, but "free trial expired.". Obviously, we left. I still don't actually understand any of it. How do you own a "sports bar" and not plan on having all the games on all day on one of the most important sports days of the year?

@joshuaguerci @Vladiverse1 @TheRabbitHole Quote Marx and claim you understand business. No, you just want control because of your ego.

@EdwardJacksonD @Vladiverse1 @TheRabbitHole You should read some business books before you talk again. Residual claim on profits is not ownership in any meaningful sense. Marx demanded worker control of the means of production — not diluted dividends but a say in business operations.

Capitalism gives people a choice

SMH, you sound 16 years old. As you get older you realize that you dont need to be as technically proficient as someone in an industry for 30 years. You will never know more than this person. Board members do not control a company, especially technically. They help politically, financially, maybe with marketing. Their job is to be a steward for shareholders to facilitate the management and workers for the company to succeed. Read some business books before you talk again.

@EdwardJacksonD @Vladiverse1 @TheRabbitHole To be clear, I dont hate (or love) the system. I’m the objective critic here, asking you if you actually own the thing if you can’t control it? Even part ownership would imply partial control. “They are the experts idiot” Anybody can become an expert if they study enough.

@BebbMalcolm @MrPitbull07 Exactly. The ROI is not there.

@EdwardJacksonD @MrPitbull07 Adding and altering the electrical supply system for variable quantities of electrical input is a lot more difficult and complex than social media warriors believe

Once our farmland is gone… there’ll be no getting it back. Solar panels belong on malls and parking lots. Not on farmland.

@FrittersMcG @ThatEricAlper Yes haha. I remember seeing a guy who had this great idea in his mind and then he realized he just invented the restaurant.

@EdwardJacksonD @ThatEricAlper they're called tours

I don't have any control over the state of california. They're a communist-lite institution. But my original statement remains correct despite you saying I have no compassion. No, actually I'm trying to give solid financial advice, thank you. Thats more important than pity and false compassion.

@EdwardJacksonD @TheRabbitHole Ye, throwing money at the problem and forgetting is a great solution. After all California is known for not having any drug addicts... Meanwhile there are countries that actually succesfully fight homelessness and drug addiction and overall give a shit about their own people. :P

@joshuaguerci @Vladiverse1 @TheRabbitHole Hahah. Why would I want a board seat to influence the company?! They are the experts idiot. Shareholders are literally partial owners. You are ignorant to the system, which is probably why you hate it. Thats your fault.

@Vladiverse1 @EdwardJacksonD @TheRabbitHole Edward doesn’t know how anything works. He knows only enough to make a complete fool of himself. Having some Tesla stock doesn’t make you an owner or even part owner of the company. You need a seat at the board meetings to actually influence the direction of the company.

@Vladiverse1 @TheRabbitHole They do get help. They have more resources to help them than the average person. California spends over $40K per homeless person person.

@EdwardJacksonD @TheRabbitHole Wow. It must be so convenient to just equate every homeless person to a drug addict and consider the matter solved. Even then the appropriate thing is not to abandon a drug addict, it is to fucking help them. But expecting basic human empathy from You guys is too much.

@cigarettesummer Looks great, but you're not doing work in that chair. I know because Im sitting in one right now.

Reject the ergonomic mesh chair and embrace the eames office chair

@Budgetdog_ Not now, but let real estate drop 30% and that changes the equation.

A personal home is NOT an investment

@jonbrooks You see this as a problem, I see it as an opportunity.

This is actually nuts.. "For the first time, the oldest Americans (70+) held a larger share of real estate wealth than middle-aged Americans (40-54)."

World leadership is so bad right now, lots of room for younger generation to take the reins. The qualities we want: Competence, rationality, communication, genuine.

@Vladiverse1 @TheRabbitHole If they bought stocks nstead of drugs they wouldn't be homeless. Not that hard to understand.

@EdwardJacksonD @TheRabbitHole "If You are homeless just buy a house" Thanks, great advice. :P

@RealMattCouch Monitoring the situation

100%

@infantrydort There is some kind of war just about every generation unfortunately.

I don’t know why the world is freaking out. This is our natural state. The one we’ve been in for thousands of years. Chaos and pain is the rule of human existence. Peace is the rarest of exceptions. It’s just not rare to you, because you’ve been sheltered. All of us have.

@HornetsLead They need to get to 7-8 at least

Can the Charlotte Hornets still climb out of the 9/10 play-in matchup?
