Production Function

"Your economic security does not lie in your job; it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth; it's having the power to produce wealth". ~Stephen R Covey

@BernieSanders Try being an employer and not a government crutch employee.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

JAVIER MILEI: "Socialists propose to redistribute the wealth because they are unable to create it."

One year later in 1968, the Sunshine State Parkway was officially renamed Florida’s Turnpike, and was incorporated into the newly formed Florida Department of Transportation to better serve communities for years to come! @America250FL @FloridaTurnpike

@PeterMallouk @charliebilello why do they ever talk Supercore CPI? its useful for homeless people who don't eat or buy fuel. Tell them to just stop.

The Fed targest 2 to 3% inflation. That's a myth - or worse, a lie. Anyone living in the real world over the past five years knows that price increases have been much higher than that.

Who buys Qatar's LNG exports?

@BeachFrmFL that's the 561.

@Piper561 I'm not that familiar with that area.

@Jeffdeehan @moseskagan I follow a lot of auctions at the bottom of the map and will keep an eye open for you.

I'm currently looking for small bay development sites in this general area. If you have one or know of one, I'll pay a finders fee and am open to participation! - 3 to 10 acres - industrial zoning - rooftops #retwit

@JohnLeePettim13 I like that excavator.

Are you a tradesman worth your salt? And I’m not talking about drywallers or hairdressers—I’m talking about mechanics, welders, electricians, or millwrights. If you are, get into mining. Mines will relocate you. I’ve never paid for a move in my life, and it’s often 2 weeks in, 2 weeks out. Fly in, fly out. The money is great, the benefits are great. Mining is a booming business.

If your great-grandpa had invested a dollar in Philip Morris stock 100 years ago, that woukd be worth over $4 Million today (with dividend reinvestment) It's an interesting table of the thirty individual common stocks with the largest buy-and-hold returns Of course, we know the warning on past perfromance and survivorship bias Still a fun table to look at

Good morning Asia, Brent rising but also watch products as we consume products not crude. For Asia, Qatari gas is very key & for some like Pakistan, that is 100% of supply. For others, still a big challenge, such as India. Even if you are not shocked by supply, say Japan that gets gas from Australia mostly, price will be a shock. So net importer of energy will be hit. Yes, that includes coal because people will substitute and push up demand of coal when gas supply is down. Asia is in the eye of the storm. Buckle up.

Stages of life

@TonyNashNerd @annacoull there are three types of people. those who make things happen. entrepreneurs those who watch things happen. workers, phds, and such. those that wonder what happened.

@annacoull Agree. As I said in another response, our little AI firm does more forecasting, more accurately than anything we did at any of my former large economics and industry forecasters (Economist & IHS (now S&P)), which I know the Fed subscribes to.

Out of a very big number over 400 are Ph.D level - no words - maybe they should just outsource it to AI - it couldn't do a worse job!
