a joy to have in class
In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It’s time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again 🇺🇸
Michael Saylor is the Egg Man. His latest announcement is that $MSTR will spend another $42 billion to buy #Bitcoin, funded by issuing $21 billion in debt and $21 billion in equity over the next three years. This reminds me of a joke I heard a long time ago. A client calls his broker inquiring about egg futures and is quoted a price of 25 cents per contract. Having a hunch about the egg market, he buys 100 contracts. A week later, he calls his broker to get a quote. Pleased to learn that the price per contract has risen to 35 cents, he decides to buy another 1,000 contracts. A few days later, eager to check on the progress of his investment, he is amazed to learn that the price has now risen to 50 cents per contract, twice the price he paid for his original 100 contracts. Sensing a trend, he steps it up, this time buying 100,000 contracts. The next day, ecstatic to learn that the price per contract has now risen to 65 cents, he gets even more aggressive, buying 1,000,000 contracts. Sure enough, the following day, the price per contract rises to 95 cents, prompting him to order an additional million contracts. The day after that, as rising prices further validate his intuition, he buys yet another million contracts, this time paying $1.25. The next day, with egg contracts trading at $1.75, he senses that the market has risen too far too fast, and places an order to sell 2,000,000 contracts. After a pregnant pause, his broker replies, "Sell to whom, you're the egg man!"
It won't be the top until I sell it all too early, am getting roasted, and I'm mostly alone being bearish. With how bearish everyone is we still have a lot higher to go.
The shwarma stand at my local brewery is selling $22 sandwiches and nobody in my generation can afford a house. Quite frankly I don’t care about GDP and neither should you.
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
the thing you have to realize about the twenties is that internet is real life now. it didnt use to be. it is now.
I'm very opposed to the plan. The biggest "environmentalists" in the country are, and have always been, conservatives who like to hunt and fish. We just don't call ourselves environmentalist because the label has too much baggage and in practice always just means communist. Really we are naturalists in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt. And that's why most of us hate the idea of selling off federal lands to build "affordable housing" or whatever. Preserving nature is important. It's a shame that we've allowed conservation to become so left wing coded. It never was, historically.
