Realtors are liars.
Such a brash generalization.
they are good people trying to make a living.
“they are good people trying to make a living.”
They are tools I regularly use in the endless task of creating debt slaves.
They are salespeople in a society that has abandoned the concept that lying is immoral. Hell, in a society that has even abandoned the concept that some things are moral at all.
u guys are attacking the wrong folks.
I get the don’t attack the soldiers attack the generals idea, but the willing soldiers are a problem also when they know they are doing evil but just don’t care.
Every single Hillary Clinton voter, without exception, are as corrupt and amoral as their candidate. If Her Essence of Snake Oil gets elected, it will be poetic justice to see these vermin get exactly what they voted for.
They sure are. Every last one of them.
Stealtors are religious entities their worshippers honor by donating hard earned wealth to them and by being mesmerized by their mythical stories.
Like Muslims?
Real journalists at the Washington Post provide the following narrative:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2015/12/26/a-year-of-reckoning-police-fatally-shoot-nearly-1000/
“Social Justice” will only be achieved by looting Foot Locker
Forward
“The Post found that the great majority of people who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt.”
With the number of crazies we have running around, less than a thousand is a miracle. Good job cops!
The last time I checked, having mental issues or running from the cops weren’t death penalty offenses.
However, to a state worshipper, insulting a cop by having mental issues or running away, definitely must be punished by execution on the spot.
And the vast vast majority of cops interactions with the mentally ill do not end in death, but mental illness and suicidal people can be quite dangerous.
Same with fleeing the cops, vast vast majority are caught or let go, but often someone who is fleeing is doing so because they have a reason to flee and become dangerous because they don’t want to go back to jail.
These few deaths are in the context of millions of encounters a year and often because they are forced to go into basically lawless regions when called by the people in those regions who are being victimized. This cop hate is tremendously misguided, far far more criminals and crazies looking to do you harm, far far more.
A paid Lola defending the state comes across as a pineapple.
“…or they ran when officers told them to halt.”
Evading arrest… a capitol offense.
Drudge Report links to the following (Rupert Murdoch owned) narrative:
http://nypost.com/2015/12/26/elites-and-media-really-hate-donald-trumps-voters/
Trump is an authoritarian, but that will never change the fact that Hillary Clinton wears adult diapers. She is incontinent, barely able to hide the fact that she has early stage Alzheimers, and she has big fat cankles
Do the Southern Poverty Law Center troll farm employees get paid time and a half for working Sundays? LOLZ
Concerning the authoritarianism, someone posted a while back asking the question: “what do you do with the irresponsible?”
Despite hundreds of posts that day there was not one single answer to that question. It’s all fine and dandy to be voluntaryist or libertarian if you pay your own bills and live your life to not hurt others (including kids you bring into the world), but that’s not the problem. What do you do with the irresponsible and the lazy? Sterilize them? Send them to rehab (which doesn’t work). Lock them up?
Doesn’t it just suck when dem youts get unruly:

You do nothing. What do you do to a Grizzly Bear that refuses to eat berries or refuses to eat salmon in a river? You do nothing. Their hunger will do the decision for them. You work or you don’t eat. You produce or you live as a bum and grow old fast and die.
Here Here.
+1000
Well, that is not doing nothing. In the current context it is actually taking away the Salmon and berries that you have been feeding them for generations.
I’m right there with no work no eat for the able bodied, but we aren’t starting from zero here. And do nothing still doesn’t cover the crazies who can’t take care of themselves or children of the irresponsible. Would you sterilize anyone who had kids on welfare? Sterilize criminals? Heroin and crack and meth addicts?
Nope I would not. I am not responsible for the choices of others.
I don’t know why you should be worried About what choices other make so long as they do not initiate force or threaten to initiate force against you. This is why you need to own firearms and ammo to defend yourself and family against anyone who initiates force or threatens to do so - against you or your family. That is your responsibility and that is as far as you should go in worrying about the irresponsible.
We have a society where multiple generations and tens of millions and more are on the dole. Wanting to drop out and ignore that seems like just a self centered narcissism (seriously no offense though, you’re a good guy Bill) not a solution. And telling those tens of millions tough nuggies no more dole means you’re going to need a lot more guns and bullets, a lot.
Sorry to burst your “(nearly)all need are lazy bums” narrative, but At least 40% of householde getting food stanps are working households.
I guess it’s all their fault for not starting their own Wal-MARTs, and lifting themselves up out of poverty Lorax style.
Fraud is also down to 1% or below.
Isn’t it just possible that there’s lots of people who actually WANT to work, but there’s no work available for them because free-market-uber-alles assholes decided they could squeeze a few more bucks by sending jobs off to the pseudo-slave labor forces in ChIndexico?
Maybe? Possibly?
No you make them eat vegan diet.
New York Times real journalists (the realest of the real on Dianne Feinstein’s (Fat Old Hag, Calif.) list of designated real journalists providing an infinite narrative of Obama/Clinton worship) script a narrative asking whether some winners of the Victim Olympics don’t deserve their trophies:
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/12/27/opinion/sunday/the-real-victims-of-victimhood.html
They charge like $6.00 for the Sunday Times now, this isn’t the narrative I paid for
‘The Official Story of the sarin attack – as presented by Secretary of State John Kerry, Human Rights Watch and other “respectable” sources – firmly laid the blame for the Aug. 21, 2013 atrocity killing hundreds of civilians outside Damascus on Assad. That became a powerful “group think” across Official Washington.’
‘The supposedly conclusive proof against Assad came in a “vector analysis” developed by Human Rights Watch and The New York Times – tracing the flight paths of two rockets back to a Syrian military base northwest of Damascus. But that analysis collapsed when it became clear that only one of the rockets carried sarin and its range was less than one-third the distance between the army base and the point of impact. That meant the rocket carrying the sarin appeared to have originated in rebel territory.’
‘But the “group think” was resistant to all empirical evidence. It was so powerful that even when the Turkish plot was uncovered by legendary investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh, his usual publication, The New Yorker, refused to print it. Rebuffed in the United States – the land of freedom of the press – Hersh had to take the story to the London Review of Books to get it out in April 2014. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “Was Turkey Behind Syria Sarin Attack?”]‘
But what’s 300,000 dead people Democrats and neocons? That nahthin! This exceptional nation, where we tremble and cry about 12 dead people for months.
300,000 dead people? Ben Jones your narrative is always such a buzzkill. And never mind that after Hillary gets elected there will be 20,000,000+ more dead people, and that the New York Times will run a front page editorial declaring her Empress of the Realm.

Look how Haiti turned into such a paradise on Earth after all those French speaking whitey got booted. That’s the future these cultural relativists and SJW’s deserve, digging with a stick in the dirt for bugs to eat and wishing they had an electrical grid to recharge their dead i-phone so they can blog about it on Tumblr
Are you calling for an apartheid system in the US?
You racial group identity politics pimps’ time has come.
You must be referring to Goon’s statement about Haiti.
No, I’m referring to people who promulgate group identity politics like you.
I doubt that you can find a time when I’ve done that.
That’s all you do.
Like the one that exists in your 99.9% white neighborhood?
Are you dodging the question?
No, but you and every female member of your family deserve to live under Sharia law. Cultural relativism is the greatest lie ever told. And I’m the blackest white person on this HBB.
Still won’t answer the question?
08:22:07 Comment by Goon “No”
I answered your question. And if I did, why would I rent an apartment in a building with black people (American and African), Latinos, Asians, lesbians, etc as my neighbors?
Your narrative is failing. The “call someone racist when you’re loosing an argument” doesn’t work on the HBB. Save that for the comments section on a Huffington Post article.
P.S. you’re really, really white, and you hate it…
That apartment really means a lot to you.

Hey WPA, are you out there? Here’s some re-posts from yesterday, just for you:
“Study Reveals Amazing Surge in Scientific Hype
“Scientists are touting their research far more aggressively than they once did, according to a new study.”
“These are tough times for scientists. As funding has flattened or declined, the competition for grants and glory has grown increasingly fierce. In response, many researchers are touting their work more aggressively.
“That is the implication of a new study by three biomedical Dutch researchers (to which communication scholar Matthew Nisbet drew my attention). The authors examined the frequency of 25 positive words—from “amazing” and “astonishing” to “unique” and “unprecedented”–in abstracts listed in the biomedical database PubMed between 1974 and 2014. Here is how they summarize their results in the British Medical Journal, BMJ:”
(Snip)
“… scientists may assume that results and their implications have to be exaggerated and overstated in order to get published… The consequences of this exaggeration are worrisome since it makes research a survival of the fittest: the person who is best able to sell their results might be the most successful. It is time for a new academic culture that rewards quality over quantity and stimulates researchers to revere nuance and objectivity.”

And I suppose this somehow disproves climate change in your mind?
“And I suppose this somehow disproves climate change in your mind?”

Never mind that petro state russia’s scientists also think we have global warming.
So Combo do you firmly believe that there is no such thing as global warming that there are no significant consequences to burning all the stored hydrocarbons on earth?
“So Combo do you firmly believe that there is no such thing as global warming that there are no significant consequences to burning all the stored hydrocarbons on earth?”
The term global warming has morphed into the term climate change and yes I believe the climate changes and yes I believe there are significant consequences to burning all the stored hydrocarbons on earth but I do not believe such things as the world’s sea level will rise over fifteen feet over the next fifty years nor do I believe that children will not know what snow is.
If you’re not all in on nuclear power you don’t really beleive in “climate change.”

Truth and objective analysis are at odds with conformity and loyalty to voices of authority.
I ran across this quote from Lord Acton:
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
This was the quote that most people have probably already heard but this is only part of the quote; Here’s the rest of the quote, the part most people have probably never heard:
“Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you add the tendency or certainty of corruption by full authority. There is no worse heresy than the fact that the office sanctifies the holder of it.”
I like the last part “… the office sanctifies the holder of it”.
FWIW.
Those who merely desire power over others and have not achieved it are the unsanctified corrupt.
We call them Pineapples.

Four Times Greater Than Solyndra’: DOE Drops 1,200 Pages Of Heavily Redacted Docs On Green Energy Loans
http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/25/four-times-greater-than-solyndra-doe-drops-1200-pages-of-heavily-redacted-docs-on-green-energy-loans/
From a link spawned from the above link:
“In 2013, a federal court ruled the agency could not mandate cellulosic biofuel blending because there was virtually no production of the fuel in 2012. Since then, the agency has expanded its definition of cellulosic biofuels which artificially inflated production numbers.
“Cellulosic production in July 2014 was only 4,156 gallons, but after the EPA expanded the definition of cellulosic biofuels in early August 2014 production jumped to 3,492,106 — virtually all of the increase came from biofuels derived from natural gas.
“EPA data shows 87,947,050 cellulosic biofuel credits (a proxy for gallons of fuel) generated have been generated in the U.S., but EPA data shows that 85,008,027 of these cellulosic credits were “used without further blending as transportion fuel.”

What has me completely dumbfounded is that JEB! seems to think he’s still a viable candidate. Holy Cow! This guy must be on some seriously heavy meds. Talk about totally oblivious. I mean, after the Saturday Night Live sketch, the humiliation was complete. At this point, he’s little more than a life support system for really bad campaign consultants. “JEB! Can Fix It”??? Whoever came up with that gem ought to have been sent to Abu Ghraib.
How did he ever think he could avoid the stench of his brother? That is some major delusional thinking.
It’s gotta be meds.
Yeb and his clan will vote for Hillarious instead of Cruz or Trump.
Per request, after my post yesterday….
-When too many airplanes are filing flight plans for the same patch of sky, the FAA starts putting “ground holds” on aircraft filing flight plans to that area. Basically, they won’t let you take off and enter the ATC system until they have a “slot” for you.
Usually this is NYC/NE Corridor, but yesterday it was activated for Eagle County (ICAO identifier KEGE). They were warning people before 8:00am that they might be subject to ground holds. We managed to dispatch on time, mainly because one of the crew saw it was happening, and went ahead and activated his flight plan and hour or two early.
The system works on a first come, first serve basis…….not on the type of airplane or size of the owners checkbook. If 20 Cessna 172s filed for IFR arrivals before a bunch of G-550s did, the Gulfstreams would have to wait (which would be a funnier than hell scenario).
-Flight data on aircraft filed in the ATC system is considered public information (and can be viewed on websites like Flightaware), unless a request is sent to the FAA for that info to be “blocked” by the aircraft owner/operator. Many privately owned aircraft have done so, for numerous reasons (at one time, we were getting blizzards of calls into the office from people who had used the info to find our office, and attempt to sell us ground services).
Thank you for that.
Not sure why so many willing flock to jump in a flying gas can.
the authority has put a floor under stock and home prices?
“a floor under stock and home prices” saves wealth.
Saved wealth can be transformed into spent wealth.
Spent wealth will (hopefully) save our consumer-based economy. And (hopefully) other economies as well.

From the -fixr’s recommended reading list:
“Soldier”, by Anthony B. Herbert
On the Depression: “I have met people whose Depression childhood is for them a mark of inherit virtue, as though anyone without that particular deprivation in his life has been severely handicapped. …… I have come to understand the universality of such things. I have seen poverty all over the world. It has no redeeming virtues, and it does not necessarily build better men. All it does is confront people with the rudiments of survival at an earlier age.”
On the waiting while going into combat: “…..Some are measuring their manhood, which can be a painful experience. Some are gathering up memories in the face of extinction, and that’s no pleasant experience either.
And then there are those dumb Lithuanians like me who just can’t wait, just absolutely can’t stand it to wait until the boat reaches the shore……….. The Army had screwed around, I bitched to my colleagues, and there was no more combat left for us.
“You think so?” one of the other kids asked hopefully…..
Whether the kid was infantry or not, I don’t know. But if he was, he clearly he hadn’t been trained at Ft. Dix.”
On the Chinese intervention in Korea:
“….as far as you could see were thousands and thousands of Chinese….some were on horseback, some marching in columns. All of them were heading straight for us.
…….there was no re-supply and no reinforcements, and finally, there was nobody on the other end of the phone…….The next few days were a nightmare. There were no more units, not in the strictest sense. There was only the snow and ice and slush and mud and cold, and small groups of Americans trying to make it back past all those North Koreans we’d been in too much of a hurry to take care of on the way up..”
Competing with the Russians in Africa: “…..both the Russians and the Americans bust their asses trying to make friends. One spring, the Russians sent several ballerinas over to entertain the class of young sailors. All we could do was dispatch a couple of Admirals. The Russians one that one. The Admirals were prettier, but they couldn’t dance worth a damn.”
On Vietnam: “An Khe was a staff and headquarters post, crammed with chairborne-commando types. In any other war, it would have been ridiculous, but not Vietnam. Every careerist who could wheedle his way over was there, drawing combat pay…….
The 173rd Airborne was the largest brigade in Vietnam, with over 10000 men attached to it. It was, according to the manual, a combat brigade with absolutely no dead weight……… Out of 10,000 men, there were no more than 3000 at the battalion level, which meant that 7000 were assigned to support roles….. Even at the battalion level, not all were out looking with the rifles…..the battalions had “rear areas” just like the brigade. Each battalion was composed of five companies, one of them for heavy weapons…..
So, on an average day, the 173rd Airborne Brigade could field approximately 800 men if all it’s battalions were out…….on a countrywide basis, meant that out of the 500,000 men we had there at the peak of our involvement, less than 50,000 were engaged in the business of fighting in the field…”
“On Vietnam: “An Khe was a staff and headquarters post, crammed with chairborne-commando types. In any other war, it would have been ridiculous, but not Vietnam. Every careerist who could wheedle his way over was there, drawing combat pay…….”
This was told to me in 1969 by a combat marine that just returned from Vietnam:
He and his fellow marines were on a firebase that was under attack all night long by enemy ground troops. The marines fought off the attackers by using every means at their disposal - including firing “beehives” point blank into the attacking ranks. It was horrible.
Dawn finally came and the enemy withdrew leaving bodies and body parts scattered everywhere. Although totally exhausted the marines still had a lot of work to do such as repairing the defenses and collecting the bodies and body parts and stacking them so they could be counted.
Then into the firebase flew the helicopters and out of the helicopters stepped some high-ranking brass in freshly starched fatigues ready to pose for pictures in front of the stacked up bodies and body parts. The marines had to step aside for this event until the picture taking was completed and then the brass flew off in the helicopters to travel back to wherever it was they came from.
Somewhere I read about Robert McNamara having been responsible fo the corporatization of the Armed Forces. I can’t find the exact article, but here’s a wikipedia page that pretty much sums up the life and career of this exceptional piece of human excrement:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McNamara
From Ford Motor Co, to Defense, to the World Bank. Hmm, didn’t Wolfowitz end up at the World Bank as well, after helping to turn the Middle East into an abattoir? Wasn’t Rummy another one of these corporate stooges as well? Stop loss. It’s all a numbers game.
If this doesn’t illustrate how ALL wars are bankers’ wars, I dunno what does.

Salon dot com SJW’s call for a “progressive debate on islam”
http://www.salon.com/2015/12/27/we_need_a_progressive_debate_on_islam_this_is_the_right_way_to_counter_donald_trump_and_be_honest_about_extremism/
Here’s a suggestion for the progressives: put your 6 year old daughters on a plane to Syria and give them to ISIS, that’s how old Aisha was when Muhammed married her. Maybe they’ll even wait until her 9th birthday to consummate the marriage like their beloved prophet did.
It’s not as if Christians of the time would have blinked an eye.
In 16th century England, the age of consent for a woman was legally 10. In the American colonies it was 10 or 12. The custom in Middle Ages Europe was that a girl could be married and a very early age and that consummation was to wait for puberty. Before reaching the age of consent, the parents could legally consent to the marriage.
FWIW, at age 19 I needed my mother’s “consent” to marry as I had not yet reached the age of consent at that time. My 18 old bride did not need consent papers, as she had reached the “legal age” for women.
What was the life expectancy in 16th century England? What was the life expectancy during the Middle Ages in Europe?
With all due respect, you are comparing apples and oranges when you compare your situation in 20th or 21st Century America with those earlier times in England and Europe.
I wonder if conservatives would be horrified if two 30 year olds wish to live together, if life expectancy would be to age 150?
In 16th century England, the age of consent for a woman was legally 10.
Those darn progressives!

There were quite a few Jim Webb supporters on this blog not long ago. Now that he’s going to run as an independent, how many of you are still supporting him?
Who is Jim Webb and why would a real American individualist care about how much “support” anyone has? Sounds like unamerican collectivism.
Americans have been collectivists since the day the ink dried on the Constitution.
For the most part yes. The truly best things have come from the most selfish though.

New York City Lays Out Transgender Protection On Dress Codes, Bathroom Use
12/22/2015 01:12 pm ET
Reuters
Ellen Wulfhorst
NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - New York City has warned landlords, employers and businesses they could be running afoul of the law by purposely calling a transgender woman “him” or “Mr.” when she prefers a female title and pronoun, or by barring her from using a women’s restroom.
——————————————————————————
Which got me thinking back about raising our daughters. On many occasions I found myself in a McDonalds or at Public playground with my girls and without Mrs. Scandals when the girls were 7 - 8 - 9 years old. Too old for me to bring them into the mens facilities and too young to be on their own. I would walk them to the ladies room and stand outside the door until they were done.
According to Oddie and New York City, if I accompanied my 8 year old daughter to the ladies room door and some dude named Ralph who was wearing a dress and calling himself Rachel got up from his table and followed her in there would be nothing I could do but wait and hope Rachel didn’t expose himself to my daughter or worse while I was politically correctly waiting outside to door.
Gay marriage? Sure, who cares.
Or like a friend of mine says on the subject…
I’m all for Gay marriage, why shouldn’t they suffer too.
Making a Baker with religious beliefs against it bake a gay wedding

Why would Obama do that, Red Pill?

The threat to women and girls presented by transgender “bathroom bills”
Posted on November 4, 2015
Child rapist James “Jennifer Katherine” Allard, currently frequenting ladies’ restrooms in Lakeport, Calif.
This is a solid batch of evidence to show to trans cult “allies” and other useful idiots who say that male transgenderists are merely sane, harmless, gentle souls who should be allowed to indulge their “identities” by obsessively invading women’s restrooms, locker rooms, shelters and other spaces where men shouldn’t go. Science shows that male-to-fake-female transgenderists maintain a male pattern of criminality, even after getting their balls cut off and penises inverted; their rate of violent crime convictions is 18 times higher than that of women. Should women regard these narcissistic, delusional cocks-in-frocks as though they were just “ordinary gals”, safe to be alone with, safe to let look after children etc.? Hell no! Should “non-discrimination laws” and “bathroom ordinances” be put into effect so that these characters can traipse freely through women’s restrooms and other such spaces? Of course not. That would be be really stupid and dangerous.
I didn’t write this but it’s very good. References are below the article.
1. The story of biological male sexual predators who used nondiscrimination laws protecting gender identity to sexually assault women.
Christopher Hambrook pretended to be transgender to gain access to two different women’s shelters. He sexually assaulted a woman in each one.
2. The story of known sexual predators who assaulted women and girls, but now claim to be transgender and want access to the women’s facilities.
Paul Witherspoon is a biological male who was convicted in 1990 for sexually assaulting one teenage girl and indecency involving sexual contact with another teenage girl. He is a registered sex offender. In 2012, however, Witherspoon was spotted wearing women’s clothing going into the women’s bathroom in Dallas, where he would have access to young girls. He was ticketed by a Dallas policeman. But Witherspoon claims to be “transgender,” and says that he has every right to use the bathroom with women and girls. He says that it is discriminatory to deny him the right to use the women’s facilities.
None of the examples listed below used a nondiscrimination ordinance to gain access to their victims. But they all wore women’s clothing when victimizing their victims. In fact, many male sexual predators, who prey on women and girls, enjoy wearing women’s clothing. And nondiscrimination ordinances protecting gender identity will give those who are like them easy access to women, teens, and young girls when they are most vulnerable. Consider the following:
Christopher Todd Gard is a cross-dresser who, in September 2013, assaulted an 8 year old girl inside a bathroom at a convenience store in Oklahoma City. The little girl had to go to the bathroom. A family member walked her to the bathroom, and the little girl went in by herself. Unbeknownst to the family member or the girl, Gard was waiting inside. He locked the door. Gard was wearing nothing but women’s underwear. He grabbed the girl, put a shirt around her neck, and began choking her. She began screaming. The family member frantically tried to get into the bathroom but could not because the door was locked. An employee quickly opened the door with a key and the girl ran out. Gard followed, carrying a BB gun. He was subdued by the family and arrested by the police. Gard faces charges including aggravated assault and battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, indecent exposure and possession of a firearm during a felony.[10]
Richard Boule is a transvestite from Marlborough, Massachusetts, who is accused of groping an 18 year old woman at a gas station in September 2013. Boule allegedly walked over to the young woman, pulled down his pants to reveal he was wearing woman’s thong underwear, and said “Let’s play.” He then allegedly reached down the front of the young woman’s skirt and groped her through her underwear.[11]
Tyler Holder is a cross-dressing biological teenage male who abducted, raped, and murdered a six year old girl in Dallas, Texas, in July 2013. After he raped little Alanna Gallagher, he wrapped her head in plastic bags and smothered her.[13]
Mark Lazarus has been described as “an extremely dangerous cross- dressing sex attacker.” In 2012, he waited outside a public bathroom for over an hour until a 71 year old woman went inside. Lazarus followed her, grabbed her, and tried to rape her. She only escaped because she screamed and Lazarus panicked and fled. He was ultimately arrested and convicted of attempted rape and sentenced to jail. Sadly, he had also previously assaulted an 11 year old girl while wearing female clothing.[19]

How many thousands of people have straight white males raped or killed this year?
They can’t be trusted in public bathrooms.
According to Oddie and New York City, if I accompanied my 8 year old daughter to the ladies room door and some dude named Ralph who was wearing a dress and calling himself Rachel got up from his table and followed her in there would be nothing I could do but wait and hope Rachel didn’t expose himself to my daughter or worse while I was politically correctly waiting outside to door.
You could just follow him in. If anyone were to question you, you could declare yourself to be female or transgender or whatever.
I wrote my scenario before I found or read this.

I really enjoyed being up in Portland over Christmas. Cold weather seemed to be what I needed to get some spirit.
We ate a lot of food Christmas eve so we ate light on Christmas. We saw three entire movies on TV inside and also of course the Star Wars movie. My sister’s place is the largest place of all our siblings. It’s a two bedroom apartment with all the conveniences for $1300. Neighborhood is much quieter than mine. It’s tucked in a nice residential area of well-kept $350k houses.
The other thing I noticed is the people are much friendlier up in Portland than in Southern California.
If you are in Portland downtown and want to eat a good pastrami sandwich, go to Kenny and Zuke’s Delicatessen. I am not much of a pastrami fan, but that’s one of their best.
Now Bitcoin is as good as any debit card. Easy to set up. No excuse to stay in fiat except to work into the U.S. treasuries to get into higher and higher yields.

Systematic approach to creating your secure wallet.
Navigate to bitaddress.org
Disconnect from Internet - be sure WIfi is shutdown.
Follow instructions with mouse and keyboard.
When process completes print out your Bitcoin wallet. Assuming printer is connected. Or take a digital photo (not from your smartphone) of your addresses/wallet. If you write down your wallet on your own paper, TRIPLE check it.
Shutdown your browser.
Reboot your PC.
Copy (carefully) your wallet if you wrote it down. Lock your private address in a safe.
————————-
Establish a coinbase account and tie it to your bank. This gives you another wallet. Buy Bitcoin’s from coinbase. This takes about six days to transact from your bank.
If you have the QR code from your paper wallet, use your coinbase from your smartphone to send purchased BTC to your paper wallet. Transfer is almost immediate.
You can check your wallet’s balance by entering your public address into an application like bitref, either by QR or by typing in the address.
Easy peasy.
Here is the expanded advice, I highly recommend it. If you are interested enough this advice explains ways to be more careful than I outlined above.

Lock your private address in a safe
Unless you need to smuggle money across borders, it seems easier and more robust just to lock the money in a safe.
Ah, but the best part of crypto is that you are keeping money out of the banksters and war mongers’ hands.
A bitcoin enthusiast’s quote I saw a few days ago:
“When you’re money is in bitcoins there is no way some bank can use it to make loans and do fractional reserve banking to put people in debt. ”
“When you see you’re money flowing through the blockchain with blocks that contain millions of dollars you become part of a high cash flow money transaction. Further releasing the chains the banks have imposed on us. You can see where you’re money went. But when you put it in a bank… who knows what the [edited out for HBB tos] their doing. For all I know the CEO is on some island with a bunch of prostotutes, cocaine, and eatting endangered species.”
Like most people, you probably don’t carry more than $200 in fiat in your leather wallet on a typical day. You carry enough to get you through the day or a few days.
With Bitcoin, you keep the majority of your money safe by keeping a paper wallet (private an public address) in a safe. You can spend some of your money in a wallet app.
You carry another paper wallet in a coin app with only the amount you would spend in a few days. Or with shift, you can do this with a debit card, used at over 38 million terminals.
Ideally you would store $500 worth of bitcoin per paper wallet in a safe. If you have $10,000 you would have 20 paper wallets. Now you spend all one wallet by importing it with an app like blockchain.info and then send this amount in turn from blockchain.info to coinbase and Shift to your debit card.
A couple years ago someone supposedly bought a Tesla at an auto dealer with bitcoin. Not sure if that was a myth or true, but it is not impossible. Andreas Antonopolous hid $12 million in a painting by using the cryptographic process called “stenography,” and transported the painting over different government jurisdictions. It was just a show. A few months ago a bank teller in Phoenix told me that a wealthy couple in the neighborhood where I live like to take $10s of thousands in cash to a car dealer in Tempe to buy a new car for cash. In one case, it’s no worry about road pirates taking your savings. In the other case you have to worry about road pirates.
