davids bridal is bankrupt, laying off 9000 employees. 1 in 4 wedding dresses in the us is sold by them and they still couldnt stay solvent.

Spent more than they made. Couldn't live within their means.

This thread makes a good argument for where a pivot to IP defense would fit in China's geopolitical strategy. vis a vis that draft:

TL;DR maximum IP defense makes companies set up there and they can lean on those companies to advance PRC narratives. Consider that in the geopolitical game of thrones.

Saying 0 wedding dresses are sold a year isn't a hot take so much as it is just a baffling thing to say

the good news is the language is now shifting: capital is threatening to go turbo-fash unless everyone just stays put and lets the End of History status quo continue unabated.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Unfortunately Donald Duck can not officiate your wedding or be an active part of your wedding party. However, he and others can make appearances at your wedding. If you want a character to appear at your Disney Fairytale Wedding, budget approximately $2500-$7000 depending on who, and how many characters you’d like to appear.

I had an idea, what if some Communist org quietly did what that church did and bought up a ton of debt on the cheap, then made a big public announcement where they forgave it all? Would there be a huge outcry from the usual suspects that the natural state of the economy is being upset?

First they would need someone else's money to spend on it.

Outside of any anecdotal house price argument any one goon might have about their immediate surroundings things have been slowly starting to trend downward in a few places. Some metrics like rent price or days on market are trending toward bad for the housing market in a few places. Portland had a small rent decrease for example. It's not indicative of a nationwide crash yet but the housing boom was "HOUSES ANYWHERE FUUUUCCCKKK" so a pullback from that in multiple places is notable.

It's just taking forever because of the amount of money the fed put into the economy. Money printer is only starting to wear off now 3 years later.

I hope i didn't set us up for another pittsburg house price derail

Eloping is genuinely the correct choice if you're going to get married. All that money you save can be used for whatever you want, anyone who would've come can still send you a gift if they'd like, and your officiant can just be your friend who is legally a minister/pope through the universal life church.

the ps5 is one of the better platforms i've used for streaming because the remote is better than the apple tv's (though there's still one in the house) and the apps don't run like poo poo. it's basically a gaming pc though in terms of hardware so that's expected

i miss ps vue. it was good and it's a shame it didn't stick around
