Your fanship is to be commended, but your head talking in place of your heart is a few years too late. Stoops is a clown show and should have been given his pink slip long before now. The homers were just too caught up in the mediocrity and viewed that as success. If only you all would have listened to me...right as usual.
Pisos, just down Flamingo, 5 min Uber off the Strip.
Illinois is a ripoff. Prices are insane.
You're just in a pissy mood bc your boy Donnie got annihilated last night.
Shannon Sharpe went on IG live this morning while he's in the middle of waxing some chick. Comes out later saying he got hacked. lol
AB is really good at Twitter. Nice combination of comedic timing, unexpected wittiness, and flat out not giving a shit about the consequences of what he says.
I’d give my left nut to be crowned N word of the day one day. What a life changer that would be.
Would you settle on cracka of the day? Nice consolation prize from AB imo.
Big boss from Atlanta is flying in to see me tomorrow. I reckon my scorched-Earth self evaluation and performance review sent some shockwaves. If I get shitcanned, at least my newly secured bottle of Russell’s Reserve 15 will be there to be enjoyed for introspection.
Also -If they do FIRE me, I may have two large residential projects they don’t know about…StudioKook, LLC. Keep it in GYERO.
Solo Stove SZN. Deck plants getting second fall bonus blooms going… don’t hate it one bit.
Big boy expects me to come in to Lex for Auburn game and cook for his crew and girlfriend… so guess I’m gonna be in. …onto menu items and prep. Gonna tater-out and try to get some good bourbs in Bardstown as well as enjoy the ponies.
If anyone is coming in town for the Ohio State @msg BBall game, NJ extrav. Lemme know.

It’s not the greatest song ever, but I’d put the first 4:15 of this song up against any other stretch of any other song ever.
I have had “Everything She Wants” running through my head in a solid loop for at least 5 months. Kinda concerning?
Some random thoughts:
- Lots of talk about restaurants going under. My unpopular take is that there were way to many restaurants to begin with especially when you compare the cost-benefit analysis to cooking something at home. I'm kind of in shock now when I go to a casual restaurant like Drake's with my family and the bill is $140. For $140 I can basically replicate going to a high end steakhouse with a simple trip to Costco. And I can make my kids do the dishes so it's not putting my wife out. Sympathies to the business owners losing out, but everybody should probably eat out a little less given the cost.
- Speaking of restaurants... as you all know I'm a simple man. My favorite meal is a bacon cheeseburger paired with a heavy pour from a 2019 Cliff Lede "Poetry" Stag's Leap District Cabernet. But I get it, a lot of you like to flex on us peons with the restaurants you've gone to and the exotic meals you've eaten. So here's my question: you know how back in the day lobsters were known as a food for lower income folks and then slowly became a delicacy? Well what would happen if hotdogs and mustard had been invented like 3 months ago? Would Anth get on here bragging about his trip to French Laundry where he had this insane dish called a "corn dog"? I mean I've eaten some nice meals, but for the $ a corn dog stacks up pretty damn well.
- Speaking of being a simple man, I ain't voting for Kamala or nothing but I really don't care about her wanting to tax unrealized gains. The purpose of taxes are to fund the government. Yeah, I would argue we overspend and spend on some stupid crap, but I'd also argue there are things we should be funding and are not. But how the F can anybody argue that we should tax income (aka men and women working for a living) but not tax investment income until it's realized? I mean HO LEE FUK, the US military, FBI and CIA are being paid for by taking 15 cents on the dollar of a man working in a warehouse to protect the growing wealth of billionaires. Wayne D does NOT approve. And I'll fight a conservative pundit or any of you mofos simping for billionaires on this matter.
- 40+ years of being a fan of Kentucky has taught me that when it comes to the only college sports that matter (football and basketball for you clowns who care about anything else), being a basketball school is 100X better than being a football school. Doesn't matter the day, I can watch a random college football game (even the ACC) and enjoy it thoroughly. But college basketball? Not since the early 2000's had I had any real interest in other games outside of when Kentucky is playing save some tournament action. My point is, thankfully UK matters there cause Jan and Feb are long.
- I know we hate Ohio. But have y'all been to the nice parts of rural Ohio in the summer? I ain't talking about where Haitians are eating ducks, but the farm land up there is as pretty a sight as these eyes have ever seen. Granted, I've also been there in December where the crops are cut down and everything is brown. But summer and fall... beautiful. Score one for the Buckeye state.
I’m no Warren Buffett but won’t taxing unrealized gains do more harm to your smaller investors, IE not billionaires?
If you have 100,000 and you have URG on the year of 10,000 you pay taxes on that. The next year your account loses 20,000. The 3rd year URG’s are 10,000 so you once again pay taxes on that. Now you are really getting the screws. Of course I really don’t have any idea what I’m talking about.
Edit: what about URG on your home? That sounds wonderful especially if the government can slap any price on it they want.

It's never going to happen but simping for a tax on unrealized gains is about the dumbest thing I've heard. That's Henson>Davis levels of stupidity.
I agree on the unrealized gains tax being dumb. The other side wants to raise tariffs 10-20% on top of what they are now. That isn’t passed on to the country of origin. That passes directly to the consumer. They’re both ridiculous.

I agree corn dogs are delicious.
Taxes in general are theft. When I see congress and senators going in making 130,000 a year and turning themselves into multimillionaires I might think different.

Tariffs are more of a threat to American companies as well as others doing business in China that we will tax the shit out of you. Bring your business and assets back to the US where we will cut corporate taxes as your incentive to come back home.
"Making the rich pay their fair share" is nothing more than raising taxes on the middle class. Taxes are just an overhead expense for large companies. They incorporate those percentage increases into their goods and services. Who buys those? Middleclass families. Those tax increases caused the cost to go up. We pay the inflated prices as well as the sales taxes on the higher prices. American consumers vote in their own victim rape with these silly slogans.
Business should be incenentivised and especially individually owned and other small businesses who take the risk. One time government subsidies for new business start ups is just that, one time. Cutting your taxes instead can be spread out forever.
Business shouldn't be punished by ppl who have never worked in the private sector who then become millionaires off of your success.

What happens when the asset drops in value? Is the government going to offer tax credits to billionaires because their company dropped 20% in a year? Does this revaluation occur annually? Who determines the value if it's not a marktable asset? Who's responsible for tracking all the assets fluctuations in value?
Sounds like a mess to me. I'd rather tax consumption with a small flat rate on earnings if we really want the wealthy to pay their share.

Her proposal would only kick in once a taxpayer was worth $100m plus. I realize that would directly affect most GYERO posters so the handwringing is definitely warranted.
If you are going to tax my unrealized gains will you also reimburse my unrealized losses?
There are smarter and more effective ways to tax the wealthy, like eliminating the 1,000,000,000 loopholes that exist in our tax code and/or taxing US businesses at a higher rate for overseas operation centers to avoid local taxation.
Make Ireland pay.

I also think what the government needs is more money. Typically what I’ve found is if something is not running efficiently and wasting tons of money the best solution is pouring more money into it. That way the people running the inefficient system are forced to really evaluate, streamline it, and make it better.

Let this be the post that kills the political talk today. Its only 715 and ive already had enough of people wanting to give our government more money. If you think they could use more just go ahead and write a personal check to Ukraine, Israel, Raytheon, or Lockheed Martin and spare the rest of us a few dollars.
-what about the cost for feds to manage such a boondoggle? How long would the cut off stay at 100 million? Not long if the government follows form.
-this is red meat for a financially illiterate voter base that thinks every landlord/investor sleeps on a pile of gold coins ala Scrooge McDuck.
It will harm everyone. If people can’t see that, I feel bad for their financial literacy.
It’s funny you think it would indefinitely apply only to the uber-wealthy. Once the government cracks the door open, with any law or regulation, it’s game on from there. They’ll never repeal and they’ll quickly amend that to include the upper & middle class. It would just be a matter of what % they tax URG for each bracket.
-Anybody that believes we should be paying MORE in taxes than we already do can suck my ass.
-Van's "its only One Game" video early in the week has going back to the Kroge this weekend, to tailgate in the rain, and support this team this weekend knowing we will get blown out. The Cats and The Cubs have broken my heart so many times I'm apparently a lover of pain. My kids are so unfortunate that I've got them emotionally involved with these shit shows. If anyone is in the Green Lot on Saturday, swing by the tailgate.
-Going through a business system software conversion at the dealership. Anyone that's been through that knows the kind of hell I'm going through with the employees every day once I walk through the door.
-The debate the other day was a total and utter shit show. I'm sad that's the two best people we get to choose between to run the free world.
-Huber boys went off for 4 touchdowns last weekend in youth football. They will both end up being that athletes I only dreamed of when I was young. Super proud Dad of how hard they work at improving all the time at the sports they love.
-Trinity Alumni Golf Scramble in a few weeks. Going to be on a team of drunks, me the best player on the team. With that said, we will be winning the course record for highest round ever, and probably never invited back.
-Anybody have some warehouse space in Lexington I could lease for 6 months or so?
-Pursuit United Double Oaked crack last night. Normally a bit gun-shy on blended or sourced bourbons, but was totally blown away. Holy shit what an amazing bottle of bourbon. If you see one in the wild, snatch it up as its worth every penny. Buckner's Augusta 17 Year, a sourced bourbon is also freaking outstanding, supposedly Heaven Hill juice. Now the hunt for a Makers 2024 Cellar Aged begins as its already being dropped in other parts of the country.

100%.
We are still paying a phone tax that started to help pay for the f'n Spanish/American war. To think any tax is only temporary or will stay within a certain group is naïve. Edit: It has been repealed and reinstated over the years.
Honestly, the tax will never happen because the government can only tax income, which URG's are clearly not.

When they realize how little impact this will have, they will extend it to everyone else.
Our company, Fortune 500, Ohio based, generally, only lobbies at the state level. When this rose up a few years ago, we actually sent people to DC, top Tax guy, CFO, and Investment guy and met with Sinema to discuss how awful this really is.
