Barry Cooper the American hero you probably forgot about, and by designed. He was largely scrubbed from the internet, and forced to flee the country because cops did bad things. Never forget Barry Cooper.
My son works with me a couple of days a week in the summers. This will be his 4th year doing so at 11 years old.
We run service routes, and enjoy audiobooks between jobs.
Its all business, and finance in my vehicle. I started Rich Dad, poor Dad for like the 50th time, and half way through the book the kid says I’m starting an IRA, and dumping everything in there until 18 when I can pull a penalty exempt distribution to buy a home, and start building my asset column. I said that’s great, but why? He said because money (all money) is imaginary. Physical assets are not, and I can start renting that home for more than I would pay in rent if I get a cheap place to live. So anyways his aunt (a financial adviser, and accountant is coming down next week to help us set things up with him,
and now I’m not crying you’re crying.
It kinda is though. I mean I don’t really care to the extent that people are talking about things I don’t really care about, but it does show a lack of using Nostr to its fullest potential. At some point Nostr will have to grow encompassing more than crypto, and dev speak, or die in obscurity. Id hope for growth, but I guess will see.
My father-in-law is about the smartest man anyone that knows him knows. At the beginning of covid stimulus he told us to pay down debts to $0, build an emergency fund that sits under our mattress, and not in a bank, cut our spending in half, and build food storage. He’s the kind of guy that when he says something you listen. Because there something about Jimmy that says to you this guy is right almost all of the time. I’m glad we listened. We have 6 months of food reserves, most of our bills paid 6 months to a year in advance, $15k in ready for an emergency, and our family buissiness is fully funded for a year. We’ll weather this storm, and likely have some money to throw at investments when things start getting ridiculously cheap. Something is coming. It’s very familiar to me. It feels like when I was coming of age as a young man. A decade of easy money followed by a crash that left me homeless, and now we have an entire generation that is in almost the same situation. A childhood of easy money followed by a major financial disaster. I watch my kids going into all of this, and hammer into there heads to get ready, or be homeless. Part of them is taking it serious, and another part reminds me of myself at that age. That scares the shit out of me. We are very lucky to have a business that in an industry that is considered recession proof. There is a good chance that we’ll do better throughout all of this. As we tend to get busier when finances are tight for the rest of the world, and we’ll probably use that extra cash to employee any of our kids that are facing unemployment, or financial troubles.
What’s coming will be a thing that has to be dealt with by all of us. Get ready for it now, or deal with it then. That’s your choice. Choose well.
I’m one of the dudes that has been caught up in the rexit bs. nostr would be a great escape, but tbh (and I’m sure I’m about to ruffles some feathers here). Not everyone is into bitcoin, zaps, and developer speak. Nostr needs to become something with a bigger net, or it just won’t grab us redditors in mass, or any group in mass. I have heard rumors of a Reddit nostr client, and am hopeful, but part of me thinks it’s just going to be endless zapathons, and developers speaking over the heads of people that don’t really care about any of that. Also if you’re interested in keeping up with the Reddit protests there’s a site that has been tracking it in real time.
If you’re interested in keeping track of the protest. Here’s a link.
I was still on Facebook until last week. I was logged out, and was required to upload a photo Id to continue using the platform
Facebook logged me out, and wants me to upload a photo Id to continue using Facebook. Guess I’m done with yet another platform. NOSTR is quickly becoming my only option at this point.
Lol the kiddo that is a couple of belt tests from a black belt in Korean martial arts walked into class to see his girlfriend being assaulted. A couple of boys were kicking her, and verbally abusing her. Our kid has always had a temper problem, and it’s why we put him into martial arts to begin with, but he couldn’t hold it in after seeing his gf getting beat up. So he dealt with it where the teachers wouldn’t. He dealt with 3 boys at one time, and handled them easily.
The assistant principal acted as if the cops were going to get involved to which I replied you’re dam right they will. The girls parents have already pressed charges on the boys that assaulted there daughter.
She then proceeded to mention expulsion for our son, and I asked her how she would expect her husband to respond to her being physically assaulted by a group of boys, and promptly reminded her that we’ve been down this road with the ISD before with another of our children, and won that battle easily. The media loves stories like this, and it brings parents in droves to school board meetings. So please try me. Anyways as it turns out there are 3 boys in juvy tonight, and a boy, and his girlfriend since he was in diapers, and are both in junior high now are both enjoying a $60 steaks tonight. Fuck isd’s. We’ve been fighting with them for 18 years, and take no issue continuing that battle.
Filed taxes today. Jesus man. Our tax bill went up %1671 from last year Talking to the tax lawyer it looks like everyone from the super poor to the super rich is already getting hit extremely hard. By 4/20 people will start hitting the roof.
