What are your strengths? Interests? Do you have any capital to commit to build up the side hustle? Any hobbies that you would like to turn into a part-time business? Anything you could partner with someone on and do together through a sole proprietorship, LP or corporation? Would you consider making it your primary hustle if it worked out? About 23 years ago, this started off as a hobby...then like 15 years ago it turned into a side-hustle...which led to multiple other side hustles. So you never know what may lead to something profitable, yet entertaining! Cheers!

There we go! Like clockwork. Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/politics/biden-blame-trump-texas-flood

No, they went the other route. A dividend would essentially be pointless other than to distribute excess capital. You can convert your A shares to B shares if you want a dividend or for estate planning. Cheers!

No, I'm not smarter than that. I've been dumbed down to a drooling idiot over the last 7 years thanks to the morons in politics these days...on both sides. But the Dems are just stupid...fighting grifters, con artists, just plain assholes...with 8 hour fiery speeches and table motions to rename Bills. Yeah, that's going to change the world. Where the hell are the likes of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, even Ronald Regan for crying out loud! No, I'm not smarter than that. I'm sad, disillusioned, disgustingly repugnant to the general population now. I'm numb to politics...numb to MAGA...Trudeaued out! Carney is my last saving grace...please don't be a dick, a hypocrite, a womanizing rapist who has been given enormous power...be decent, be powerful but diplomatic, bring dignity back to the office and politics. Please, oh please! Cheers!

That would be the other reason for no split. Buffett put in a Class B share structure because he planned on no dividend, and that was forcing long-term shareholders to sell their A shares, or move to funds that were buying up tons of A shares and had smaller unit prices for gift giving, estate planning, etc. Fairfax unlike Berkshire, Prem thought about this ahead of time, since his own income and estate planning depended on it...so he instituted the originally unheralded Fairfax dividend. Which today, seems to make a ton of sense from both a compensation structure and ability to distribute income for estate planning purposes without having to sell your Fairfax shares. Cheers!

Prem will never split the stock. No point...extra cost...why? He has no plans to ever sell the company...so who cares about multiple expansion. Fairfax shareholders know when the stock is cheap and will buy it. Now what happens after Prem...less control there...but I doubt Ben and Christine would let the board split the stock. And since they will control the multiple voting stock...not likely to happen in our lifetimes. Cheers!

And that is ok? Like Biden's protection of Hunter...the pardons...34 felonies against Trump...Pelosi and MTG trading on insider information...all ok? Everything is ok as long as our politicians push their agenda? Cheers!

Hey MAGA folks...why did Bondi back down on releasing the Epstein client list that was on her desk two months ago? https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/07/politics/bondi-epstein-files-client-list-suicide-memo Guy was a monster and his many clients may have been monsters. No names, no charges, no release of information. Or is it just illegal monsters that MAGA wants to get rid of and fake Clinton-related monsters at pizza parlors. Cheers!

No, Quebec isn't separating either. Yes, they do have an investment program for immigration in Quebec, and you used to be able to move to any part of Canada. They are trying to crack down on that or get Quebec to share the revenue, but I believe it is still available. Cheers!

Alberta is not seceding. They are pissed at Trudeau and want government to help them monetize their resources and help their economy. Two candidates that were pro-separation just lost and had under 20% of the vote in their riding. So Alberta leaving is even more unlikely than Quebec leaving. Carney was an advisor to Trudeau, amongst many advisors. Doesn't mean he pushed for all of Trudeau's ideas. Carney lead Canada through the GFC alongside Stephen Harper...should he not get credit for that or only the blame for Trudeau's policies? Pollivere couldn't even get security clearance as he ran for Prime Minister, so you have to wonder why? They never revealed. He currently sits without a riding. I don't particularly care for Trudeau or Pollivere. I want someone up the middle who isn't going to blow up our global relationships, become fiscally irresponsible or simply push a partisan agenda. Carney is more central than the other two, and he has the economic background to get Canada back into a balanced budget and stop growing debt/GDP. He also has the skills to develop Canada's global position, build the economy and lead with dignity. So personally, I'm happy! But let's see what he does over his term. Cheers!

A number of news outlets are also saying that DOGE cuts to the NOAA might have contributed to the delayed evacuation alerts and evaluating data as the rain fell. Cheers!

48 hours Doo...one FU was bad enough...two gets you a 48 hour ban to cool off!

Didn't take long for one of the nutjobs! Cheers! https://ca.news.yahoo.com/maga-congressional-candidate-calls-texas-215509077.html

It's not hypocrisy...just pointing out that you are going to have a harder and harder time getting good, cheap help...or you are finally going to have to pay fair prices for domestic legal help. The reason the illegals are here is because the wealthy were willing to hire them for cheap when no one else would. If you want to blame anyone for the huge influx of illegal immigrants...it probably starts with all of the people seeking cheap labor and paying cash under the table. When I stayed at the Trump hotel in Chicago about 8 years ago...beautiful hotel with probably the best gym I've ever seen...but every single employee was a minority. I wonder how many were illegal! Cheers!

Has Trump tweeted blame on the Biden Administration for the flooding and deaths yet in Texas? I bet he does by Monday! Cheers!

I think Greg went dry...he usually has some new buys on here regularly! Cheers!

You're quoting Sam Antar...one of the biggest frauds and crooks in New York history? Cheers!

Carney plans to make huge cuts to the workforce to reduce costs and reduce the budget deficit. All without alienating the most underprivileged of citizens and still not pissing off the wealthy ones. It's something Trump hasn't managed to do, nor plans to as he increases the debt by $4T and is probably a minimum of two years away from reducing budget deficits. Cheers!

The divisiveness really started with Dubya and Cheney...Obama didn't help it...but he certainly didn't start it. Cheers!

Jeffries did 8 hours in the House...Booker did 25 hours in the Senate a few months ago...what's the difference and what did it achieve? Nothing! Same dumb show that MTG, etc do in other ways...but Dems are not making any progress...they're regressing. Dems are looking for another Obama...whether you like him or not...he's one of one. They need to think outside the box and move in another direction. Cheers!

Got Canada through the GFC with nary an issue. UK was going through Brexit. Cheers!

Enjoy your 4th of July, my Americano friends! I guess most of you will be mowing your own lawn, cleaning your own pool, cleaning your own house, painting your own fence, sodding your yard and looking after your own kids this weekend! I'm just kidding! Have a great weekend! No riots please. Cheers!

The qualification/educational difference between Trudeau and Carney is hilarious! Finally someone worthy of the position has actually applied and run for it! He's also completely self-made from small-town Alberta...no daddy's money or reputation unlike Trump and Trudeau. Cheers!

Well, the Orange Orangutan grifted his way to billionaire status, then President, then twice-elected President, fixed the illegal immigrant problem, then blew up the Middle East, possibly tamed Putin, buddied up to North Korea, and got more legislation through in his two terms than the Democrats have during Obama/Biden's four terms. Whatever way the grifter did it...he continues to do it! Are we going to be better off or worse off...only time will tell! Does Stephen Miller make my skin crawl like Nosferatu creeping into my bedroom...hell yeah! But these fuckers keep making the left look stupid...Cory Booker talking for 8 hours...fuck me! The Dems need to be blown up and reassembled and the middle of the road Republicans need to get their shit together. By hook or crook, Trump has confounded all of us sane people for a decade and keeps building up his cult following of MAGA nutjobs. We're all fucked! Cheers!

It's almost like when the Cubs won in 2016, eh? Ok, I'll say it...here goes...Bartman! Cheers!
