@aakashgupta @LynAldenContact the ridiculous thing is, we probably agree on more on things than we disagree.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@GillsiesGoons @LynAldenContact Ah yes. Fan boys wil fanboys.

My March public newsletter is now available, and discusses to what extent the war on Iran may impact the "gradual print" scenario. Enjoy: lynalden.com/march-2026-new…

@LynAldenContact Meh. When is the big 'must buy fantasy coin update'?

@ShaZiaX02 Ken Dodd's dead dog's dad's dead duck did devious deeds.

this is Hank. He saved his human from a rattlesnake. He was bit 3x on the nose. He’s my warrior, angel and protector. Leave a 🤍 to show him some love 🥹

@kimmie_c_ Hmm. The gap association no longer offers medals. We can send you a KFC voucher.

Who ordered some thigh gap?

@AmyA1A @Osint613 Stay strong and well good sir.

President Trump on Iran: “You’ll soon see what happens with the ultimatum on the power stations. The outcome will be very positive. There will be total destruction of Iran, and it’s going to turn out great.”

@DonMiami3 He's seen his arse, and is worried. This is unlikely to drag on.

Steps towards world war 3 continue

@greg_ip This is a post. I agree with this post.

1/ Markets now think the Fed is more likely to raise rates than cut them this year. A rate hike is not my baseline scenario, but I see the risks rising, for the following reasons. (Link to column in next post).

@DonMiami3 😂🤣😅 He's so done. Top negotiator.

Pay attention folks

@financialjuice Yes. The protection of the dear leader against the fu release of the epstein files is top priority.

US officials to counterparts: US may have no alternative but to launch a ground operation to seize Iran’s Kharg Island - two sources cited by Jerusalem Post.

@MacroEdgeRes Bit embarrassing.

Brent - WTI spread is blowing out Export ban coming? #MacroEdge

@MrGlass2025 @MacroEdgeRes @DonMiami3 You don't suppose a wekaer dollar would benefit em.

@MacroEdgeRes @DonMiami3 Would be disasterous for the USD—long-term.

@NautilusCap 😂🤣😅

In the next 3-months?

@ReturnOfDadbo Fingers crossed.

60% of that room will be dead by 2029.

@pavsmith Gotcha. I get it now.

@Factory051 let's wait to see what she says tomorrow, when she wakes up with that hangover!

WOW! FUCKING WOW!!! okay, Kemi, you've gone massively up in my estimation. that's a truly remarkable, and truly honourable, statement! WOW! theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@pavsmith You are a complex being. Left, right, Christian, socialist. What are you? Bot...?

@Marin_0x @pavsmith you know this is ai slop. Of course you do, as a fan of Kemi, you're not that dumb.
