  • Since the end of febuary the whole market dropped such that it lost about six months of value and then stablelized and is going up keeping about the 6 month loss. This is why articles about modern dips crack me up as they are nothing compared to real one. The market is completely unhooked to any actual value. The crash in 2000 lost about 5 years of value and the 2008 one lost about 7 years. 2000 took two years to fall while 2008 took one. The great depression lost 19 years of profit and took about 3 years. If what we have is like then we will know by end of year as it takes a series of drops while folks with the money to do so buy the fake bottom.



  • Were I am at they have some busses that stop at the next intersection if you ring the bell and others that will only stop at designated stops. I always thought they put stops at places they predict people will want to get on and off like government buildings and major private areas like malls and then strewn ones in between at approximate set distances (every mile or two or several). Then I figure they adjust based on if people ring the bell to get off often.





  • I mean maine is the only state with possibly enough time to possibly have any effect. Remember that the senate only turns over every 6 years for a position. They have two senators and two reps and one is independent, but that was the case before. What we see there is incumbents continuing to win but given their reps I don’t see this as surprising. It will make a bigger difference when its more contested. If it came to illinois it would give duckworth difficulties because of her military and security voting. Honestly given our executive ignoring the courts im not sure if its going to matter much unless we get back to a somewhat working system in general.







  • lack of sun in winter means its right out. its always nice to not be bundled up but height of summer can be oppressive which is like mid to late. Thing with spring and some degree fall is it can be wet and colder than you want for rain. I don’t know if I have one favorite season but I think I have the most days I enjoy being outdoors in the summer with it usually tending to be earlier summer and then spring and then fall with winter being the bottom of the tier. Even if the sun were out in winter I think it would be bottom. Its nice having a few snowy days to enjoy if its not bitterly cold but it loses its charm pretty fast.
