Imagine 20 years from now, where car monthly payments will be $3k and that's on the low end and poverty level is $200K/annual.

I lived paycheck to paycheck, just like I’m doing now.

At least I’m still getting a paycheck… a whole slew of Company’s announced layoffs this week including Amazon (27,000).

I can’t wait until Mr. Potato Head stumbles through another speech about how great his economy is doing.

Thanks man!

I sent the "thank you" emails to the interviewer(s) right after the interview, as this has been the conventional wisdom. But now I'm reading that I should send right at the 24-hour mark? :confused:

Love this idea.

Can you imagine the type of attention they would get? Let alone the risk of vandalism to their car lol

There are alot of layoffs happening and will continue as long as Jerome Powell continues to raise rates. IMO, the rates shouldn't start dropping in a recession, but rather right now, as the effects of raising/lowering rates takes a minute to kick in.

I really think China should be held accountable for COVID, as this really put a damper on the economy.

The past few years have really strengthened my position of pulling away from people and investing more time and energy into my cats and dogs. At least they are cool with just hanging out, focusing more on what unites us instead of what divides us.

:iagree:

Other than being “totally tubular” and sounding a little deranged when I speak, I am better than I was for the last 30 years

😎👍

Glad to hear you’re doing well. :tup: That is great news. You’re a medical celebrity now.

Thanks for the best wishes! Just got done with the virtual interview, and went a few minutes over. I think it went well, as she kept asking a bunch of follow up questions after she finished her portion. Like right before we were about to end the call, she thought of another question and this happened about 3 times, one of the questions asking if I would be interested in another similar position in another area.

Hope it works out. :tup:

Thanks, we’re hanging in there.

Wifey took the TT RS out for a drive today since it hasn’t been driven in a couple weeks. :driving:

It sounded awesome when she started it up. :tup:

Hopefully can start working on selling the JK next week. Hate to see it go but I can’t justify keeping it when I barely average driving it once every 3 months or so.

"Reason to worry about fentanyl in American schools."

Clearly, the US (and the world) has a major opioid/fentanyl/drug crisis. And clearly, the problem isn't going away because the laws/policies are too soft. Solution? Get tougher laws/penalities/punishments. Look at what Singapore does:

"Singapore executes man for trafficking two pounds of cannabis."
