The messaging disciplines of the parties is fascinating. Dems are pretty good at the top - at least executive admins, which frustrates the hell out of the press. OTOH, rank and file republicans are incredibly good at getting in line no matter what the executive says.

The message discipline on the right is a thing to behold.

Kind of all depends on your cash and storage capabilities. Can be a huge opportunity.

It's interesting that public cos have pressure to have lean supply chains (good!), but there's an opportunity to offload inventory to third parties.

Oh yeah - that was a big part of the conversation. There's a whole opportunity there. Indoor storage. Big liquidity play.

Lumber seems currently be because of the structural barriers to residential construction (including, but certainly not exclusive to interest rates) and incredible improvements to supply chain and supply in general post-COVID. Lots of weirdness out there due to the pandemic.

Lumber is currently in a huge contango, apparently.

I'm an idiot when it comes to commodities, and I learned a new term today. Contango: refers to a situation where the futures price of an underlying commodity is higher than its current spot price.

The press reads the sentiments of the voters/parties, not the other way around. It's how they sell papers and get clicks. It really sucks that dems are a bunch of anxiety ridden geese that can't decide what we want.

This 💯 Where were all these dems with their concerns about his age and acuity before primary season? Also, you know if the roles were reversed every republican would be in lockstep talking about “everyone has an off night” and changing the subject reading off the same script So frustrating

You might consider whether you’re failing to distinguish “people telling me this looks like a ratfuck from the same paper running anti-voting articles from fascists, so maybe don’t help them ratfuck us” from “I am speaking objective facts and they don’t understand”

I know you have good intentions, but like... sometimes intentions don't matter that much. The only person who's going to get to decide this is Biden, and the only ones who will have much influence on that decision are elites. I think our job is to just be foot soldiers against fascism

One thing that I have found jarring is that I haven't seen any progressive elected Dems talk about Biden at all, even those who have huge issues with his Gaza policies. Maybe they have realized that panicking and punching yourself in the face repeatedly is stupid as hell?

My wife just used "baby owner" as a synonym for "mother" (describing someone she met on the street).

I've been blocked by pwn for pointing out something he has in his public bio. I really like the guy's opinions and expertise mostly, and I respect the instinct to block. His drift into US politics has not been great.

Ah, well. Another skin. I've actually really appreciated a lot of his insights over the years, but he's getting a bit unhinged these days. And, I'm not sure people appreciate that his perspective is... unique.
