Every time in the last 5 years that I drive by Evernote Building on the 101 - I was shocked it was still in business. With Apple Notes chipping away at its core, and stiff competition from Notion - how long could it survive?

29_29··on Stop Calling Each New Disaster “The New Normal”
Accuracy, please.

Florida has been both completely submerged and prior to the ice age had much much more coast line. If you dig anywhere in Florida you can find evidence of it being the sea floor.

> with the result being that the oceans were about 400 feet (122 meters) lower than today. During the last global "warm spell," about 125,000 years ago, the seas were about 18 feet (5.5. meters) higher [1]

My grandpa built his home and it was a nightmare. Contractors kept going cheap, he had to watch over them, cost overruns, delays, etc. He probably has a better home than one could ever buy, but I don't have that kind of time or money.

Not a bad time to buy a farm. Prices are coming down; my yield is a little bit different 1/3 of it is wooded/water - but its probably close to 2% plus tax benefits.

I just can't tolerate apartment life any longer. I have 2 dogs. They won't live forever, they need a yard. I need stability. Also a home is not an investment, its a liability. I also want a place I own, that I can have paid off. Its a long term decision.

I'm also willing to admit I can miss the bottom price. I could save 15% and wait a year?

I need a place to live man. I can't wait forever for prices to come down, I've owned a home before, and even though rates suck, now is a better time for sure. It feels like I can shop.

> I will take your farm by force because no one will be around to stop me.

Ah, you hit on it. That is the attitude! Problem is everyone has that entitlement. Trillions and trillions of claims.

It is impossible to balance a budget with 130% debt to GDP. We crossed the event horizon, every country that has ever crossed this (save Japan which is doing horrible now) has defaulted through very high inflation or out of control deflation [1].

I recently raided my retirement accounts because we are at the end of a long term debt cycle and I do not believe in the future of the United States (government), the West or the dollar.

I own gold, a farm and I raided the retirement accounts to buy a home.

The only way out of 130% debt to GDP is default through inflation, high taxes, and bail ins.

29_29··on Robert Shiller: 'Wild west' mentality is gripping housing, stocks and crypto
I'm using farmland to diversify my portfolio, it produces income, I don't think anyone is arguing we will run out of land. Cash and Bonds are risky now, so this is a holding that will not be debased. Its also fun! I feel like I'm living a real life Stardew Valley
29_29··on Robert Shiller: 'Wild west' mentality is gripping housing, stocks and crypto
I don't want to be a rancher and farms pay an income. Real estate has gone up ~20% in some markets and may be overvalued. This felt like a good price with inflation considerations.
