@middle_class_us Rent increases are a bit more complex. Certainly some of it is what the market will bear. But often it’s the annual increases in property taxes, utilities, insurance, and materials and labor costs.

A lot of landlords don’t even raise rent because they improved anything. Same apartment. Same appliances. Same problems. Just: “Your renewal is now $700 higher.” That’s the business model.

This is Bob and he has some advice from all his years of experience. This is what not to buy according to Bob. Don’t buy an RV, don’t buy a boat, don’t buy a motorcycle and don’t buy a hot tub. He says they are a waste of money, a lot of upkeep, you never use them as much as you think you will and they have a terrible resale value and depreciate. A lot of people said Bob has had his fun and now he wants to spoil the fun for others. 😂 Many others said they appreciated him sharing his experience and agreed with him. He said if you can’t eat it then you don’t need it. 😂 So in essence, don’t be like Bob. Agree or disagree- I love the way Bob tells a story. 💯 I’ve had a boat, I’ve had a motorcycle, I’ve had a hot tub and I can confirm that I didn’t use them as much as I thought I would and always had issues with them. What do you think? Do you think Bob is spot on or do you think he’s full of it?

Food for thought. Trump should buy America a seat at Saylor’s table. Donald Trump has already acknowledged that bitcoin is strategic. The next step is not simply to hold more of it, but to buy influence over the company turning bitcoin into a financial system. A 10% US government stake in Strategy would give Washington a position inside the most important private bitcoin balance sheet in the world, and a claim on the infrastructure being built around what may prove to be the sound money of the digital age. This is not nationalisation. It is strategic positioning. Strategy is no longer a software company with an eccentric treasury policy. It is a capital markets machine for accumulating bitcoin, funded through equity, converts, notes and preferred stock such as STRC. Saylor’s innovation is not just buying bitcoin. It is matching different classes of investors to different slices of the same trade, then using that demand to deepen his hold on the asset. His own framework clarifies the evolution: first the strategic holder, then the hybrid operator, finally the pure play issuer that raises capital chiefly to buy bitcoin and build bitcoin-backed credit markets. Strategy has already moved through all three phases. It began as a software company with a bitcoin hedge. It is now the prototype pure play issuer. That is why Saylor’s comparison of STRC’s 11.5 % payout to Amazon’s years of free shipping matters. Amazon accepted years of lower profits to build customer habit and logistics scale before AWS emerged as the real prize. Strategy is doing the financial equivalent, paying up for capital to create a bitcoin-backed credit network before competitors can replicate it. Today it is still accumulating. Tomorrow it will monetise the infrastructure beneath the accumulation. The right analogy is Amazon before AWS. Bezos started in retail, then poured capital into cloud infrastructure and sold the rails underneath the storefront. Saylor could do the same. The next stage of Strategy may not be endless coin accumulation, but a kind of Bitcoin AWS: repo markets, custody, collateral transformation, structured credit and settlement services built on top of a giant bitcoin reserve. This matters for more than crypto. A US stake in Strategy would strengthen king dollar, not weaken it. The likeliest future is not one in which bitcoin replaces the dollar, but one in which bitcoin underwrites a new hierarchy of dollar liabilities, stablecoins, tokenised deposits and regulated digital money issued by American institutions. If Washington wants to shape a Bretton Woods 2.0 for the digital age, it should want the reserve asset, the credit machine and the dollar layer anchored in the United States. That case is stronger now that Congress is moving towards a real market structure. The CLARITY Act would define digital assets more clearly and create firmer rules for trading venues, intermediaries and custody. Washington is no longer debating whether crypto should exist. It is deciding who will own the infrastructure, write the rules and capture the strategic rents. Nor would a federal stake be unprecedented. Alberta’s AIMCo already owns a large position in Strategy, while US state entities such as CalPERS and CalSTRS hold shares as an indirect bitcoin exposure. Trump has also shown he is willing to back national champions in strategic sectors, including chips, through support for Intel. If the US can justify a position in semiconductors to shore up technological sovereignty, it can justify a position in the emerging national champion of bitcoin reserves and credit. A 10 % federal stake in Strategy would give America influence without the trauma of takeover, and show that Washington understands the strategic asset is not just bitcoin itself, but the balance sheets being built on top of it.

Here it is; PURE EVIL ON AMERICAN SOIL: Babies’ hearts cut out and their faces cut through while still alive to obtain brain tissue. According to Dr. Theresa Deisher, babies are born alive at five to six months, and their beating hearts are removed without anesthesia for research; researchers also cut through their faces to collect brain tissue. “The babies are still alive when the researchers start extracting the tissue, to the point where their heart is still beating, and they’re generally not given any anesthetic, because that would disrupt the cells that the researchers are trying to extract.” • PAMELA ACKER, Biologist “Included the lung of the fetuses?” “Yes.” “Included skin?” “Yes.” “Kidney?” “Yes.” “Spleen?” “Yes.” “Heart?” “Yes.” “And this was just one study. So I’m going to ask you again: In your entire career, how many fetuses have you worked with?” “Um, well, I don’t remember the exact number, but, uh, quite a few when we were studying them originally, before we decided to use them to make vaccines.” “Do you have any sense? I mean, this one study had 76. How many other studies did you have that you used the aborted fetuses for?” “I don’t remember how many.” “You’re aware—are you aware—that one of the objections to vaccination by the plaintiff in this case is the inclusion of aborted fetal tissue in the development of vaccines and the fact that it’s actually part of the ingredients of vaccines?” Big Pharma + Planned Parenthood.

@creation247 It will go down as the most blatant, woke genuflect before the Academy Awards. He wants an Oscar so badly, he is willing to sacrifice his artistic legacy to get one.

Nolan's "The Odyssey" might go down as the worst movie ever made:

Far-left Connecticut Gov. Lamont just signed a bill that makes no sense - because it's completely illegal and unconstitutional. The new law bans ICE from wearing face coverings in the state.... and threatens violating agents with ARREST. The irony, of course, is CT calls itself "the Constitution" state. DO NOT COMPLY. REPOST and expose the TRUTH! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

"At 78 years old, I never imagined I would leave a courtroom with a criminal conviction for preaching the Christian gospel." Retired pastor Clive Johnston reacting after being convicted for reading John 3:16 outside a hospital in Northern Ireland. He says the case raises serious concerns about free speech and religious expression.

@SteveGuest Those who gave the last full measure of their devotion for their country did not die solely to preserve the right to vote. They died fulfilling their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

WILD MELTDOWN: Bakari Sellers YELLS at Mr. Wonderful: “DON’T BE A DICK” on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip during a heated discussion about the Democrats’ gerrymandering efforts. Sellers: “There are people in this country who fought, died, and bled for the right to vote. Don’t be a dick!” Kevin O’Leary: “I’m not a dick. I’m pointing something out to you. The Constitution is being upheld. What’s the problem with that? Do you have a problem with the Constitution of the United States of America?”

@Liberfach0 Charlatans always repents in sackcloth and ashes when their wallet takes a hit.

⚠️🇦🇺 | ¡TOTALMENTE DOMADA! La influencer, Abbie Chatfield, reapareció con los ojos llorosos y publicó un vídeo de disculpa después de que su novio, Keli Holiday, fuera expulsado y censurado de Estados Unidos, tras viralizarse publicaciones de Abbie, pidiendo el asesinato del presidente Trump y burlándose de la muerte de Charlie Kirk. Debido a sus "bromitas" el novio va a tener que agarrar la pala, porque ya no podrá hacer presentaciones en EE.UU.

@tiff_tv We don't tune in to watch batteries race each other.

No. Because watching drive-by, battery charged 'overtakes' leaves me somewhat unimpressed!

Someone had better tell Rashid that killing people is not allowed either It would be a shame if he murdered someone because he has no idea that it's not allowed

@brain_stimulus He has teleprompter eyes.

🚨 LE « PASSAGER » QUI PLEURE SUR LE BATEAU HANTAVIRUS EST UN ACTEUR… ET IL LISAIT SON TEXTE MOT POUR MOT ! 😱 😱❗Ce jeune homme en vert qui « craque » en direct sur le MV Hondius s’appelle Jake Rosmarin. 💥Il lit mot à mot ce qu’il dit. 💥Pas une seule larme réelle. 💥Pas une seule hésitation. 💥Juste un texte bien préparé. 🔥Et ce n’est pas tout : ❗Le même Jake Rosmarin promouvait activement les vaccins COVID pendant la pandémie. Aujourd’hui il joue le rôle du touriste piégé sur un bateau « hantavirus ». Mise en scène totale ? Coïncidence ? Ou le même cirque qu’en 2020 ?

This deranged woman said she would assassinate President Trump and claimed she would target members of the Trump family one by one. She also threatened Elon Musk and made alarming comments about the Pentagon. She has multiple accounts across social media, including one with more than 30,000 followers.

Why does Megyn Kelly swear so much? Really. I don’t see the value. I’m not a prude that thinks swearing is some big, evil, sinful thing. However, if your arguments are constantly laced with F bombs and name calling, you automatically lose some credibility and your reputation diminishes.

@JeninedUFO Why is it that all UFO videos are low resolution?

💔 Un agricultor español en TV llorando, porque el Gobierno le ha expropiado sus fincas de olivos para poner en su lugar placas solares, y a un piojoso comunista se le ocurre la idea de subir un vídeo a sus redes sociales mofándose del dolor de ese agricultor. MISERABLE.

He’s a very bitter man, who has severe TDS. I just don’t get the hate from the left and Hollywood! Sickening

@MensHumor How about you pay your people a fair wage commensurate with their required effort and ability?

Trying to shame us for not paying their employees.

@EricLDaugh Not very well reasoned. Even supposing the Tennessee constitution permits this, the city would then have to petition the Congress for admission as a state. This would, of course, be a non starter, because a small city would get one congressman and two senators.

🚨 LMAO!! Furious Democrats in Tennessee are now moving to SECEDE Memphis from the state because they're so angry Republicans redrew the Congressional map, eliminating the last racial Democrat seat Good luck with that 🤡 "LET MEMPHIS SECEDE! You don't have to redraw maps when you let us out! LET MY PEOPLE GO!" 😂 This is a sign of panic from the Democrat Party! Keep redistricting 🔥
