So I can’t re grind my scrap to make new resin pellets due to my pharma contracts so I sell my scrap. I was selling clear scrap at $0.21 last year and resin has gone vertical. Resin up 35 cents through April and my scrap guys says he’s now paying $0.23. My man, I’m definitely going to shopping the 40k of scrap I plan on selling this month! x.com/blueprintsmb22…

Resin industry increased prices $0.05 in January, $0.10 in March and now $0.20 in April with ANOTHER $0.20 per pound slated for May. Resin is in short supply domestically. This is a 70% year to date increase in resin prices BEFORE the May price increase. Not good

@DadInvest Complex answer In many ways yes but many things I used to enjoy are gone - small shops & restaurants, availability of special stuff and life is certainly more expensive In many way Amazon has become the company store

We’ve gotten to the point where you almost lose credibility when you bring up replacement cost as a selling point. Take literally any retail property in America: Calculate what it would cost to build it. Add tenant improvement allowance, leasing commissions, permits, etc. Now add what it would cost to buy that piece of land. The number you come up with will be higher than the listing price. Saying “below replacement cost” is like saying “the sky is blue.”

This is the way to deal with HOA Karens. In this case, an actual Karen
Ethan Brooks@alt_w_v_g

Got a letter from the HOA yesterday Actual letter In an envelope With a stamp In 2026 The letter said my trash can was visible from the street for too long on collection day The fine is $50 I checked my Ring camera The truck came at 7:03am I brought the can in at 7:14am 11 minutes $50 That's $4.55 per minute of trash can visibility My therapist charges $250 an hour That's $4.17 per minute My trash can sitting in a driveway is now more expensive per minute than therapy I looked at the letter again It was signed by the HOA president Her name is Karen Of course it is I know this woman She lives four houses down She still has Christmas lights up It's March I know because I drive past them twice a day And because that's what I do I checked the HOA bylaws All 47 pages Section 4.2 says all exterior fixtures and lighting must be seasonal and removed within 30 days of the applicable holiday Her lights have been up for 97 days I went to the HOA meeting Tuesday night 7pm In a church basement Folding chairs Fruit platter that nobody touched Seven people showed up Four of them were on the board The other three were there to complain I was there to read My wife came with me She didn't want to But she said "if I don't come you'll end up on the news" I brought my legal pad Karen called the meeting to order She talked about community standards She talked about property values She talked about the importance of curb appeal From a woman whose Christmas lights are still blinking in March I raised my hand She said "we'll take questions at the end" I said "it's not a question. It's a point of order." She looked at me I opened my legal pad I said "Section 4.2 requires seasonal decorations to be removed within 30 days. Your Christmas lights have been up for 97 days. You fined me $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility on collection day while you've been in violation for over three months." The room was quiet One of the other three complainers said "he's right" The board members looked at each other Karen said "that's a separate issue" I said "it's the same bylaws" She said "we'll review it" I said "I already did. Page 12. Happy to share my highlights." My wife looked at the ceiling Some things never change Karen said "I think we should move on" I said "agreed. I'll move on when the Christmas lights do." Nobody laughed I wasn't joking I paid the $50 Because it's $50 and I'm not going to die on that hill But if the rules apply to me they apply to everyone So I filed a formal complaint about the lights With photos Timestamped Funny how surveillance works both ways The fine for seasonal decoration violations is $75 per occurrence She's been in violation for 67 days past the 30-day grace period I'll let her do the math Or I'll do it for her Because that's what I do Make common sense common again Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

I’m posting earlier than usual today, because last night on our flight ✈️ back from FL ☀️ to ME ☔️, the proverbial 💩 hit the fan Underexposed to beta and overexposed to 🛢️, I was obsessed with the T2 news 🗞️ flow and the market 📈 reaction. Thanks to free 🛜 on United, I could not stop scrolling X My wife was talking to me, but I was totally distracted Finally, she said, “It’s either me, or X. You choose.” Since I prefer ex-X to an ex-wife of 35 years, I’m taking an extended - maybe permanent- hiatus from this platform. Those that know me in IRL are free to reach out, just not on this platform Ciao 👋 for now, and have a super profitable 💰 life! 🐰 🐰 🃏

T2 talking points 1. We decimated their leaders and their military capabilities 2. We set back their nuclear program by 15 of more reason. Uranium is buried deep and inaccessible. 3. We win. We’re done with our little “execution” 4. NATO did not support us when we needed them. Europe in particular was very bad 5. We are oil rich. 6. We don’t need the SoH. If Europe needs oil, they should come take it 7. We are the greatest country on earth. We are so freaking back! ——- Am I right?
