From the Star Ledger:
N.J. scraps COVID-19 state-by-state travel advisory, calls for all travelers to quarantine
With coronavirus cases rising across the country, New Jersey is abandoning the state-by-state formula it has used the last five months to determine its quarantine travel advisory, Gov. Phil Murphy announced Wednesday.
Instead, a day before Thanksgiving, the state is now asking people who travel from any U.S. state or territory except immediate neighbors New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware to voluntarily self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving.
Murphy is also urging people to avoid all unnecessary travel to and from the state.
First.
On Thanksgiving. A day off work.
A Serious man. Perfect movie to watch this morning.
“This scheme and artifice to defraud affected tens of thousands of votes in Georgia alone and ‘rigged’ the election in Georgia for Joe Biden.”…..Trump destroyed 17 high profile rich Republicans in the primaries.
Trump destroyed your high profile rich Hillary Clinton.
Trump destroyed your DemoRat Russia hoax.
Trump destroyed your DemoRat impeachment hoax.
Trump is your President and will be for the next 4 years.
Neighbor txted us today, they had to take their son for a COVID test. Seems his headache his only symptom is enough for the nurse Karen to call for a quarantine of 4 other kids but not everyone else who rode the bus yesterday.
I have a massive free range organic turkey sitting in a brine bag since yesterday, but we cancelled Thanksgiving.
It’s just a shame I cannot procure some high explosives at Hone Depot. I may toss the Turkey into the fire pit And roast it with whiskey. The local food pantry only wants canned dry goods.
Juice: What’s for dinner??
I suggest Juice Box change his handle to Brine Bag.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I have all the standard stuff, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, dinner rolls, home made cranberry sauce and for dessert we made mini cheesecakes. I can cut the side dishes down in size, so no loss there, but the bird is big, going to feed my dog Turkey everyday, but that won’t be enough.
It looks like I will have to go all in on Turkey leftovers for a week. Turkey Pasta Casserole, Turkey Enchiladas , Turkey Sandwiches, Turkey Soup And my personal favorite spicy Turkey Chili. I may make a gallon of Chili and freeze it in small containers so I can have it for lunch and take a Tryptophan Nap after…
Juice: That is impressive. Small gathering this year for us, so we just ordered it all from Maywood Market.
Neighbors kid just took off for Florida this morning. I doubt he will be quarantining when he comes back.
Governor said the New Jersey Department of Health would follow up with more quarantine guidance “in the coming days” for people returning to the state from holiday travel. Are they getting lists from the Airlines? News says about 200,000 will be traveling through Newark airport this Holiday alone.

HMB,
Americans just sit back and accept whatever corporations decide is good for us. These chemicals are not benign.
Our lawmakers would allow cyanide into all of our food if they received a large enough check.
The machine is back in place; the swamp is filling as I write… the laxity and stealth unruliness of the libertine party is well-versed in the art of deception. I, like many, have a lot to be thankful for but we’re entering a dark period for the next four years. Adjust and invest accordingly and hope the legislative and judicial branches of government hold the incoming cartel in check.
As far as 80 million Americans are concerned, we have no president after January 20th. 80 million or more haven’t forgotten the lies, forgery, slander and false accusations by the leftists and will willfully ignore the stuttered stooge that has already announced the appointment of a slew of members from the old guard. Ignore the noise, mock the witless media as they fawn over the senile fool and create your own path forward.
Every Republican administration going back to Nixon, with the exception of Ford, has ended in disaster or scandal.
The Republicans who whine about investigations of Trump have exceptionally short memories. If you like I can recount all the Republican investigations of the past few decades.
Today’s Republicans are a bunch of whining snowflakes.
Depression? Not yet, people are out bidding housing prices up to insane levels and spending money in general. No depression yet, but there will be.

It’s always changing, yet it’s not.
Of course this pandemic changed how we live, but don’t think for a second that cities won’t make a comeback after this is gone. Humans have short term memory. Understand this.
Do you think it’s possible to house the world’s population outside of dense cities? Do you think human civilization can support 7 billion people without cities?
Do you think you can have entire workforce that works from home? Use your head instead of reading the trendy headlines. For a small portion, yes, they will work from home like they always have. The majority are going to be going somewhere to work and it won’t be their house.
ESP big shots, no big shot money maker is going to be working from home. You can’t get there without developing a network that requires in person relationships. People making big money from home will be the anomaly, not the norm. There will be a negative stigma attached to people that work from home as opposed to in person.
In the end, the city will still attract the individual that goes to work and is a go getter. (You think people want to work from home in the city? In some small apartment?)Rural will attract what it always has, the second rate worker that will work from home.

Sidney Powell is releasing the Kraken? More like smoking the Kraken.
On the supreme court, based on the law it is the right ruling. Idiots like Sotomayor are totally unconcerned with the law, she has no place on the supreme court her opinions tend to veer entirely into this how I want it to be rather than the intent of the law. So much of this lock down is unconstitutional full stop, there is no provision for this scenario that allows the government to suspend the rights of private citizens under circumstances where there is a virus that kills maybe 1%. Furthermore it’s hard to so unevenly apply the law where you say it’s OK for people to riot but assembly for religious purposed is unlawful. Personally I am doing neither but one cannot help but see how hypocritical the politicians are and how blatantly unconstitutional these actions are.
“Normal” people cannot be politicians, they would be eaten alive it takes a particular kind of a$$hole to be a “successful” politician.
Ok 30yr Trump is Hoover, but you are putting your faith in Beijing Biden, we are beyond screwed………
Beyond screwed? Good.
Speaking of screwed. I spent the morning dissembling my kitchen oven door. Two measly screws hold the handle assembly in place, one got loose and I almost ripped the handle off yesterday. Basting a Turkey every 1/2 hour is punishing on oven doors. I also took the time to clean all the glass and components. Amazing how much gunk can get inside an oven door over time.
A donor who gave $2.5 million to a pro-Trump group looking for election fraud wants his money back after disappointing results
Sinéad Baker
Nov 27, 2020, 6:51 AM
A venture capitalist who gave $2.5 million to a pro-Trump group that said it was trying to find evidence of election fraud is now looking for a refund.
A lawsuit said Fred Eshelman gave vast sums to the Texas-based True the Vote Inc. but was soon disappointed with its efforts.
True the Vote mounted suits in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin but later dropped them. It says it is nonetheless still investigating fraud allegations.
Eshelman said he pressed True the Vote for details of how it was spending his money but instead got “platitudes, and empty promises.”
Trump’s list of accomplishments are numerous and it kills the democrat followers to the point of blind rage. Trump tarnished the imaginary image of Oblammy and it drives leftist followers insane. The deranged left is a proper term… those who physically attack, destroy, loot and burn. They thrive on false hope, can’t understand why government has yet to supply the answers, weep over the fact that their position and status in life has not changed.
You’ve had 60 years of promises of transformation which delivered nothing, produced nothing and left you with nothing. As the song goes: “Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.” Now you need to somehow defend the actions of an old, broken man, who, like his followers, has accomplished very little in his 47-year piratic and larcenous career.
Old swamp creatures like John Kerry is appointed to yet another wasted, useless position… the same John Kerry who said there will be no peace in the Middle East between Arab countries and Israel yet Trump, among his many achievements, has brokered a deal when Obammy was talking about fake red lines.
Who knows how many “insiders” will be advising the old f.uck. We can only hope for gridlock as those who really make the country go can do so with minimal leftist obstruction.
Keep that list Eddie along with the one Santa makes.
..and Carter brokered peace between Egypt and Israel. Is that how he is remembered? Not like peace is fleeting in ME anyway. A price of paper has really mattered..one term loser
.repeat until it stinks in.
Trump’s little list of accomplishments fits on his little desk. What a buffoon.
I get the disappointment on the left, it’s understandable. What I can’t understand is why you think the progressives are going to do anything that benefits the good of the country or why they’re going to fulfill any promises. How many times can one be duped?
Extortion in the form of higher taxes and distribution is not a plan, it’s placating the masses in exchange for power. And again, why would any man clamor for a support system and safety nets if one is capable? It goes against the nature of what it means to be a man. But, I suppose weakness comes in all forms.
Mine had holes at the bottom. I soaked a small rag in windex, attached it to a dowel and used it to clean the inside of the glass.
Not as thorough as disassembling the door but good for interim cleanings.

WFH is the future and it’s here now. It’s not going away all the hysterics by one person won’t change that. The days of high priced commercial and residential real estate in and near cities is coming to an end. The cities will have to readjust and be come competitive those of us who work in corporate America understand this. In the end it will be a good thing.

PIERS MORGAN: Put your toys back in the stroller and admit defeat, Mr President – or your increasingly sad and pathetic sore loser antics really will make you Diaper Don.
On Thanksgiving day, footage emerged of President Trump playing a round of Thanksgiving Day golf and hitting a tee shot into a lake at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. ‘Oh s**t’ he exclaimed after playing the shot, closely followed by the words: ‘I hate this f***ing hole.’ Others around him chuckled, but Trump remained stony-faced. He was absolutely furious.
Day by day, hour by hour, his presidency and power is being diminished. And the longer he goes on squealing about a ‘rigged and fraudulent’ election, and the more he throws his toys out of the stroller about the election being ‘stolen’ from him, the smaller and more ridiculous he becomes.
The cold hard reality is that come January 20, whether Trump wants to concede or not, and regardless of whether he turns up at the Inauguration, he will no longer be leader of the world and Joe Biden will become President of the United States.
Do you really believe your own bs or just messing with me?
The days of high priced real estate coming to an end…you are one funny guy.
“he will no longer be leader of the world.”
WTF? The president of the United States is not leader of the world. He is the president of the United States.
No BS. You are stuck in the past. You have no idea what’s coming down the line with WFH. I have so many friends and relatives in corporate America, and so much is coming with WFH. As noted the days of high priced commercial and residential real state prices are coming to the end. Plan accordingly.
Why do we say leader of the Free world back in the Soviet iron curtain days, but why now? Seems to me the leader of the unfree world is China, who controls us economically , and under Biden that subservient relationship will be restored.
You just don’t get it. You really don’t. You think a place like New York City is going to stop growing because of WFH? Dense urban areas are the future, not the past.
You might think living in some cheap rural area is paradise, but most human beings don’t agree. That’s why they drive up the price of real estate in cities.

Transition Live Updates: Appeals Court Rejects Trump Election Challenge in Pennsylvania
The ruling by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals was a complete repudiation of President Trump’s effort to halt Pennsylvania’s certification process. Mr. Trump committed to leave the White House in January if the electors vote, as expected, for President-elect Joe Biden on Dec. 14.
High-end New York real estate exists in its own microcosm, reliant on strange, nonlinear math. It’s as divorced from ordinary constraints as the needle towers that have risen to contain it. Even in the depths of the financial crisis, in 2008, the ultra-rich kept on building. They bought properties at cut-rate prices and turned them into luxury rentals. Or let them stand empty, assuming the market would recover. Or acquired them from China or Saudi Arabia, sight unseen, thinking the city was still a safe place to park a few million. Or just ignored the economy altogether, believing it could do them no harm. In the early months of the pandemic, there was much talk of wealthy New Yorkers fleeing the city. The market was down over all, but by fall the luxury market was rebounding: one firm sold twenty homes for more than four million dollars in the last week of September alone. “Nothing about what we do is sensible,” Ellison said. “No one does what we do to an apartment for value or resale. No one needs it. They just want it.”

Yet, here we are again, you now taking the position that the city is dead and never coming back. Really unbelievable how you always cling to the wrong position.
You accuse me over and over of being biased in why I take my position. You said it 6 years ago, and are still saying it now….understand that I’m correct. What’s bias have to do with being correct?

Do you understand that NYC is the economic heart of our nation. It’s always changing. Companies always come and go. Companies that are slowly dying move out to and try and prolong their existence. They are replaced by new companies taking over their positions. Tech is quickly taking over NYC, wake up and smell the coffee.
Think about it. Does a trendy tech head want to live and work in some small town? No, these are people that are geared for city living. They feed off the energy.
At the end of the day, tech is coming for their seat at the throne of the American economy which is NYC.

This isn’t a cycle. It’s a major upheaval and dramatic shift. The writing is on the wall, those people that bought are never coming back. All my neighbors who worked in the city the past 20 years haven’t stepped foot in the city since March. Whatever businesses that were there in your nice sections were completely ransacked by the riots. The restaurants were bludgeoned over the summer by the mayor. All nightlife is closed for an entire year. It’s collapsing prices followed by stagnation. The city is begging for a bailout. It’s not too big to fail…because it already has.
Oklahoma’s new boom

I wouldn’t call this new. 25 years ago, I saw a documentary that claimed that weed was Oklahoma’s #1 cash crop.
No money has been invested in NYC infrastructure in years. It’s all old crap being poorly patched by overpaid lazy workers that cannot hold a candle to the original builders of the buildings and structures that make NYC famous.
Way too many leaches riding on the backs and work of craftsmen that did it so well it lasted the test of time.
BRT,
You are not looking at the big picture. You don’t get it by now? Every business that leaves/dies will be replaced and reinvented bright shiny and new. Every person that leaves will be replaced with a more younger ambitious go getter trying to make their place in this world.
Same exact thing is happening in Cali. The only ones leaving are the ones who already made it. The has beens. There are plenty of other people hungry and ambitious in silicone valley that haven’t made theirs, and will now take advantage of the opportunities opening up to go get theirs.
You can’t just replicate the economies of Silicon Valley and NYC virtually. You can’t. When will you people understand this?
Among residents, city officials, and businesses, the big question is whether the pandemic has permanently made Silicon Valley’s mix of startup-friendly features obsolete, or whether the disruptions of the virus have simply provided an opportunity for a certain class of people to make a lifestyle change.
“Candidly, some of those leaving have already found great wealth here in the Bay Area ecosystem, and so they have the privilege of leaving and declaring some other city ‘the next big thing,'” said Ron Conway, the founder of SV Angels who’s been called “the godfather of Silicon Valley.”
Conway helped architect San Francisco’s tech-friendly reputation as an investor and through alliances with politicians like the late mayor Ed Lee, who passed one of Conway’s pet issues, a temporary payroll tax break that let Twitter and other San Francisco-based companies off the hook for millions of dollars.
Not all of Silicon Valley is packing up, of course, and some VCs are poking fun at the departure headlines on Twitter. Some of this year’s exits are temporary – Bloomberg Beta’s Roy Bahat briefly moved his family to Wisconsin to help Joe Biden win the election – and the permanent exits are a win for some groups. Housing advocates say that after years of worsening tech-catalyzed income inequality, they won’t miss the leavers, and lower office and housing rents could attract newcomers and entice residents to stick around.
https://apple.news/AMHCx8w66S2Wsdjo-fa_-kw
Exactly what I said. The minute those businesses or people left, they opened up opportunities to new ambitious people that will reinvent Silicon Valley and NYC to remain on the cutting edge of the WORLD economy. Get ready to see the fruits of their labor. Out of darkness comes light.
There’s room for Austin and Nashville’s of America to grow, but let’s not mistake them for taking over NYC’s or Silicone Valley’s position in the economy.
Pumpkin,
Miami is the place to go when the revolution happens in your latin american country. 60 years ago Castro, in the last 20 yrs Chavez/Maduro. Name your dictator or revolution de jeur and someone is always moving in/out of Miami.
Vegas, well they are degenerate gamblers, hookers, and drug dealing. Frankly, someone from Vegas should redo the NJ online gambling advertising campaign, all those people they have on those commercial look like on the way to or out of rehab.
What made NYC was the creative edge and concentrated wealth, which have dispersed. I don’t agree on riots, deBlasio in previous comments, because the point of NYC was to be always edgier, threatening and unsafe. If you want feel good safe go to Garden State Plaza. As Bill Burr said it https://youtu.be/OXkKyqucjIo?t=70

Pumps -I know a New Yorker who just moved to Austin. NYC is out for now..
Juice, yes, for now. This quote gets it.
“Everyone either thinks San Francisco is the center of the universe or it’s dead,” venture capitalist Ann Miura-Ko, who’s now in Austin, told tech journalist Eric Newcomer in his Wednesday newsletter. “It’s just super annoying because anyone who has been here for over one cycle knows it always comes back and it always also falls out of favor.”
Family member just bought a place near Charleston steps to the water.
Wasn’t cheap, but they think it’s a sound investment. That area is apparently
smoking hot price-wise. I’m checking out (for fun) FL water access places
and am blown away with what you can get down there. If you like boating, there isn’t a better bang for the buck than gulf coast.
Juice: NYC will have to compete with other areas including real estate prices. It’s no longer on top and won’t be.
Ex-Essex, Florida is the real estate of a jet printer. Cheap printer and expensive ink cartridges. What is going to get you with those water access places is flood/hurricane insurance. If you pay cash and you can afford to rebuild/go without insurance then ok.
The one thing that will keep NYC on top is edgier creative talent, but it is anathema to high real estate prices. So the creative talent in musical, visual, performance and all other arts with concurrent low real estate values – think 70’s & 80’s.

My data set is small and self selecting but likely larger than nearly all on here regarding youngsters (22-30 yo) in tech….Colorado. Every one of them regardless of background. Other than the ones that go back ‘home’. It is THE destination.
The reality of tech expanding from the bay Area is that they have literally exhausted every sentient being with a decent degree and 3.0 average that was willing to move to SF or Seattle. These companies are coming East – or to Austin, Nashville, etc – not because of the inherent benefits of these areas as they exist today but because they cannot find any one else to come West at even the most extreme overpayment of comp. They’ve hired the vast majority of eligible and qualified bodies. The marginal cost of enticing the remaining cohort is too much.
True story, edited for discretion. From one of my better friends who is making the job offer shortly. A well known but what would be considered mid-range at best major ‘tech’ corp is offering a kid two years out of a non-descript school with an arts degree in CS $180k guaranteed for their PM (not development) team locally…..Two years out of a local college with a BA…..
Anyway, more importantly, just got back into town and E! is playing 30Rock. I forgot how funny and well written that show was….plus half the sh1t they put on there wouldn’t clear PC censors these days.
Cheers All.
Oh, and brought back Bambi in a cooler. My niece (17) got one by bow and nailed one with a rifle when the season started Tues. Was able to get it cleaned and butchered. Venison for all.
