There’s truth in this when many publications will offer an entire year’s worth of print for $5-$10.

Everywhere I look land is cheap and lifestyles are good. They can’t build SFR houses fast enough. And I’m ignoring downtown Renaissances happening all across the Midwest.

I think “the last mile” of this process is going to be the hardest to automate.

I like your points. > Removing a marijuana screen from standard workplace testing would help revitalize the employee pool. To me, trade jobs seem to be the most willing to offer a "second chance" to workers willing to work. Mor

When you pay-per-play, you're bound to make the majority go for broke. At least they had CD sales they could count on.

Sounds like an ode to the way things used to be . Yearning for the past, no matter the present. The folks who grew up on tape machines are fewer and fewer. I'm sure there were gramophone enthusiasts saying the same sort of things.

Onstar et al would never, ever, ever let that happen. Viper is the only one I know of that's similar aftermarket. But still, that's about as common now as aftermarket head units.

This discussion always makes me link to [1] the fact that audiophiles can't tell the difference between a high-end cable and a coat hanger. It's amazing what our ears want to hear vs. what they actually do. The weakest link alwa

> Audiophiles... I don't understand why you want tube amps. The ode to the way things used to be I think drives this market. Combine that with vinyl and you have a medium and listening experience that's superseded entirely.

Guitarists and audio enthusiasts are some of the most superstitious and bull-headed people I know. You can overlay spectrum graphs of digital vs analog audio output, do double-blind tests, etc. and most will still prefer the analog version

Understandable, the legislation isn't brought up (but maybe this concern isn't, either) that often. It could certain be a non-issue. Though I rarely experience power outages, knowing almost all instances would be non-existent is r

That's unfortunate, and something that keeps me only managing my own properties locally. I know it won't scale so much, but I feel like I have too much skin the game for the property to lose value on my own fault. It sounds like a

You can lose your head in rentals with bad tenants and an otherwise good house. It's key to screen and filter candidates or else you're not going to make anything at all, especially SFRs.

Having three kids cured my depression. It often feels like falling out of a plane.

It’s great when this model takes over; no one will own anything anymore. Simply rent. The concept of equity is a thing of the past. Good luck retiring cheaply/at an appropriate age.

Thanks for the link! It’s similar but the one I was referring to was just a blip about Glass, and more about artists (of all kinds). Even writers I believe. Gets the point across though.

The 4% rule is a good one as it's (as you mention) much more likely. Also, if your withdrawal rate is 4%, the likelihood of you seeing that income until you die is much, much higher. As stated elsewhere, getting yourself down to spendi

There are plenty of stories of artists doing both, it's just really f-ing hard. I'd argue especially for artists, but this is probably true of any passion. [1] Philip Glass for instance: "While working, I suddenly heard a no

Possibly not for you, but I noticed a long roll-out of switching from stripe to chip. Then, a lot of card readers in major retail stores not "allowing" chip transactions and having to switch. Still even now, most fast-food places
