Starting college as a freshman in the hottest job market in a generation only to graduate into this will not be a fun roller coaster ride.

Maybe Turkmenistan will be incentivized to offer visa free access to US passport holders now?

This is like water saying it needs to be wet.

Given that I think US relations with Latin America would be markedly better without South Florida’s influence, Rubio overall seemed like an unfortunate choice. But like Bessent, he does provide gravitas and influence that few others have. One cannot say that about many of the cabinet members.

My Southern perspective about anything related to NY

@londomomposino.bsky.social If Petro could redo the past year, I wonder if he would.

Hopefully the past month of economic turmoil in Argentina is behind us now. Still think that they are mismanaging the peso and need to use this wake-up call to operate in a more sustainable manner.

Baker and the Bucs are kind of fun

Lula is the only leader in the Western Hemisphere that can get away with saying the things Petro has. I really dislike using sanctions in such a cavalier manner though, for other reasons.

Argentina’s currency woes are fascinating because it’s an easy assumption to think it being at its weakest ever level means it is undervalued. Rather it’s been quite overvalued for quite some time as a direct result of government policy. And still is, albeit slightly less so.

This is a like a person planning on accumulating $10k a month in credit card debt for the next 3 years saying that they’ll start paying it off with a $2k a month side hustle.

I’m not sure how this will happen when he’s simultaneously propping up an overvalued currency. Argentinian beef is already struggling vs Brazilian beef largely due to the currency.

Nature is healing

Columbia University and the state capital of South Carolina make it an easy misspelling. But it’s interesting because I expect Columbia if he writes, Colombia if Rubio writes it.

Like most Americans tbh. Even though it probably feels like gringos are everywhere in some areas, it’s still a place where very few go. Kind of strange given how close it is. From Atlanta or Miami, Bogota is closer than the west coast.

Athens townies ftw

Perhaps so. It still feels vaguely like a political performance but clearly not if one is ensnared. I haven’t looked at updated deportation data but I really wonder how materially different deportation numbers will actually be vs last year. Doubt it matches headline expectations.

I split my time between FL/GA/SC due to family in GA(where I’m from originally) but base out of FL now. Admittedly not targeted areas for ICE but certainly areas where there are plenty of individuals that would presumably be targeted.

You know, for all of the headlines, I haven’t seen a single ICE agent/vehicle all year. And crossing the border has been ultra smooth and friendly in the multiple times I’ve crossed. Sometimes wonder if the current policy stance is more about generating fear than anything else.

I guess it works even though it ensures I won’t watch or pay for it anymore.

It would certainly make sense to build energy intensive data centers there but seems like turning Paraguay into a hub for talent will be extremely difficult due to a variety of factors. Medellin has tried but not all that much is happening there for different yet similar reasons. It’s hard.

It seems like it would be good for them to step back and conceptualize what they actually want to consume in life. Even in the low digit millions, truthfully there aren’t that many meaningful things that you limited from purchasing for the rest of your life. It’s only location and ego at 8+ figures.

Both could happen at the same time tbh. Maybe Open AI has a bit of a moat but difficult to understand why people will pay up for frontier models if low cost models deliver what they need. This isn’t the Apple ecosystem.

Process of hopefully closing on a sale at 10% off current listed price 20% off late 2022 purchase price. Both purchase and sale made for non economic reasons. After fees, timing, market returns since, it’s horrendous. Like lighting cash on fire.

This will be more and more true for unfriendly countries in the western hemisphere as our focus both voluntarily and involuntarily comes back to it.

I don’t watch enough TV it appears. What is the bonus by now?
