Poll 54 % of Kalifornians want to leave the state

So you want us to consult your alt-left blogs that no one but you lefties have heard of, while also saying that you refuse to read The Daily Caller or listen to Rush Limbaugh cause you don't want to hear a different viewpoint?

Don't you find that slightly hypocritical?

Rhetorical question.

Hilarious you think Ritholtz and Ben Hunt are “alt-left.” They’re Wall-Street traders and on just about any short list of respected market commentators. They have both benefitted financially from the government’s ongoing subsidy of Wall Street, but what they are speaking to is a lack of sustainability. And the Financial Times is not exactly a beacon of liberalism. But you probably get your markets analysis from Fox and Friends, so I get it.

What does Buzzfeed think of them?
 
I live in Montclair, where my wife grew up. It’s a great place to raise kids, good schools, etc... but it is ridiculously expensive. Taxes are a big problem, but the bigger problem is all the finance assholes driving up real estate prices 100 percent with money the government printed and handed to them. My mother in law raised 4 kids in Montclair as a single mom on a courthouse administrator’s salary. She bought the multi family she still owns for $180k in 1995. She could probably sell it for $900k now.

I’d advise all you bootstrappers, if you’re actually interested in understanding what’s going on in the markets and what’s driving “millennial socialism,” to stop accepting press release explanations and start looking at the impact of money printing and government intervention on behalf of the obscenely wealthy.

This blog is a good place to start.

Absolutely excellent op ed in the Financial Times today breaking down the impact of money printing on driving up asset prices and the political ramifications among people who weren’t able to participate in the intentional asset inflation (this probably includes most of you, but you’re so deluded you think all that “wealth” accumulated as a product of hard work and think that Trump, Donald Trump!, is going to unlock your to this point undiscovered earning potential).

I’m checking out for Gator baseball season and (hopefully) March Madness. Good luck with your echo chamber!
Lol, nice post. I will read up on these things. And I know Montclair and that whole area. I moved 5 years ago because I couldn't afford a nice house in a nice school district in North Jersey and I'm a damn accountant, lol. What I wanted was like $1M. What was available for $400k wasn't that good. And then $15k property tax per year on that crappy $400k house. I do miss the area though and maybe I'll find my way back someday.

Did @bradleygator ever tell us why he keeps voting for the dems that pass these laws and policies that he can't stand?

Cause we all know he does.

Haha, yeah I miss some things of North Jersey, but definitely not the corrupt politics and money grabbing bureaucratic apparatus of layers upon layers of government.

I voted with my feet, conservative libertarian I am fitting in nicely in South Cackalacky

Exactly. My wife and I are both lawyers and with three kids in childcare, we are basically living paycheck to paycheck. We’ve looked at Noth Carolina and Florida but can’t quite pull the trigger. Hit me up if you’re back in the area. We can hit Cafe Giotto in Montclair and take advantage of their BYOB policy, the only cost-effective aspect of living in Montclair.

Was listening to NPR on my drive to work this week and they had a guest on talking about the whole inflated assets thing going on and Trump was one of those inside business guys doing it. He was deflating values for tax purposes and simultaneously inflating for business sales purposes. Us citizens are legally allowed to pay as little tax as required by law (quote that famous old time Supreme Court decision with that remark) and business men are trying to maximize profits so I don't find much wrong with it.

Also, for the liberals screaming that Trump won't provide tax returns......hello, why should he? All that matters is that he is providing them to the IRS like the rest of us. If there is something wrong with them, then the IRS can sort it out. Doesn't matter to me what's in them.....he's a rich, cunning businessman, so what. That's not why I voted for him. I voted for him because he cut my taxes, is a man of action, and is fighting with the bureaucratic trash in government. Preferred Ted Cruz as he also is a man of action, but smarter than Trump, oh well, definitely couldn't go HillBill killing machine then or ever.

While I think he’s a total bullshitter, selling a bill of goods to a bunch of rubes. To each his or her own!

Well, yeah he's both a cunning businessman and now a politician so that makes him a bullshitter extraordinaire, but all politicians are, can't become one without bs'ing your way. But that's not why I voted for him, it's because he beats the other bullshitters (career politicians) at their own game and they can't stand it. Lol, entertaining for us little guys out here taking it up the ass from those same politicians.
 
Joiseyboys, Are the Roy Rogers chicken places still at the service areas on I-95? French fries and fried chicken to kill for. As a "professional tourist" from 1990 to May, 2003, my company did business with Mars Candy in Elizabeth and Budwiezer in Newark. Good cheap food at the Budwiezer cafeteria. Elizabeth was safe as Kennasaw, Georgia. Very unusual for New Jersey.

Good people in South Joisey. Lots of jerks in Nawth Joisey.

I remember the Roy Roger's at the Turnpike and the GSP rest stops. I don't think they are still around, but there might be some.....haven't been at those places in years. And yes, New Jersey is a small State, but big difference between North Jersey and South Jersey. My dad used to say that the Mason Dixon line ran through South Jersey.....and if you look at a map and extend the line due east from MD/PA border, yes it would cut right through South Jersey.

Sheep don't mind it, though.
 
Thanks, NorthJerseyGator. I remember coming out Of NY into NJ felt like getting out of prison. Same as crossing the state line from Kalifornia into Arizona. I always had to dine at Roy Rogers on my many PA and NJ visits.

I think I meant to say Budweiser.
