From Newsday:
Long Island home prices surged 60% since 2012
Long Island homebuyers today have to spend more, move faster and choose from a vastly smaller roster of listings than a decade ago, according to a new report from real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman and appraisal firm Miller Samuel.
The median sale price for a Long Island home rose 60% over the past decade to $560,000 last year compared with $350,000 in 2012, according to the data, which excludes the Hamptons and North Fork and wasn’t adjusted for inflation.
In Nassau County, the median sale price rose 60% to $640,000 over the decade, and in Suffolk increased by about 62% to $490,000, excluding the Hamptons and North Fork. It took 54 days on average between the time a home went on the market and when a sale closed, which is down by more than half from the 128 days it took a decade ago.
The median price of a single-family home sold last year on Long Island, excluding the Hamptons and North Fork, was $580,000, or about two-thirds higher than a decade ago. The median price for condos, which make up about one-eighth of the Long Island home sales market, rose 52% to $365,000 in the past decade. There were 4,430 condo sales last year, which was nearly 73% more than back in 2012.
First
Look at that…Republicans censoring their own party members. Yea, freedom of speech my ass.
“In Florida, Pence, Trump’s ever-loyal vice president, took his most explicit shots at the former president, saying “President Trump is wrong” when he called for Pence to overturn the election by rejecting electors from several states who supported Joe Biden when Congress gathered on Jan. 6 to certify the election. He drew raucous applause from the crowd of conservative lawyers at the Federalist Society conference.
Christopher Krebs, a former top cybersecurity official in the Trump administration who was fired by Trump, said: “Broadly speaking, I think Trump’s influence is waning, particularly among the reasonable people. But it’s really crystallizing in the most malignant way. It’s consolidating and getting much more intense — and more dangerous — among the die-hard supporters.”
The moves, playing out in luxury hotels, led to unusual schisms, with a former vice president criticizing the former president he was often obsequious to in a way he had never been before and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), the party’s 2012 presidential nominee, harshly criticizing the party his niece runs for its treatment of Cheney and Kinzinger.
“Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol,” he tweeted. “Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost.”
The day showed that Trump’s efforts to overturn the election and his continuing focus on his false insistence that he won continue to dominate the party, even as its leaders say they want to focus on President Biden’s policies as his polling numbers lag and Republicans argue they are poised to make major gains in November’s midterm elections.”

Democracy is failing. Russian and Chinese plan to show Western individuals just how controlled they are is working as planned. Just like police seize your funds, like your government seizes funds, now your donations are seized.
Economic terrorism and Radical Capitalism:
“Elon Musk slams GoFundMe for bowing to Trudeau and CANCELING Freedom Truckers – while allowing BLM donations: Site refuses to return $9M and will instead distribute it to charities it deems fit as Canadian PM is branded a ‘dictator’
GoFundMe has canceled the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser – which raised $10million Canadian dollars ($8 million USD) in support truckers protesting against COVID-19 vaccine mandates – for violating its terms of service ‘which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment’. The crowdfunding platform announced Friday that they will be distributing the remaining funds to ‘credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe'”
America and Canada will no longer be able to tolerate the rising anger of their constituents.
They will have no choice but to send in the enforcers (police) with greater and greater force to try and control the populace. Repubs will foolishly think they are their friends until they end up in handcuffs and in jail. Democrats already know this.
Thinking either side is/was/or ever will be your friend-illogical thinking.
Trump liked Putin cause he wanted an America like Russia and wanted to be just like Putin. America came that close already. It’s response, elect a brain dead Grandpa as he seems nice and friendly. Thanks, Boomer, bad choice again.
What will be your next choice America?
You might not survive another round. Their tactics are working.
And LW,
Please don’t comment on my grammar. What were you a effing English Major :)
Phoenix,
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Russia or China are behind this all. Supplying the information to these social platforms feeding how these conservatives think. They helped get Trump in office which was step 1 of creating turmoil. Now, they are in total control of divisive rhetoric feeding the flames. No one was scared of vaccines, now all of a sudden so many conservatives are against it? Coincidence? These truckers are literally hurting american and canadian economies over stupid vaccines. Coincidence? Pretty much turning into a civil war over a vaccine? Coincidence?
I might be dead wrong with these thoughts, but I also might be dead on.
All of this is a defective response that is the result of women claiming they were controlled at work by men and using the power of the lawsuit to threaten corporations.
An allegation, a picture of you after work, a ride home. That’s all it takes. Two torpedoes in the starboard side, down she goes (down he goes is more like it.)
And this was consensual. Oops. Can’t have that either ladies.
“Don Lemon (left) started his show with a ‘personal message’ following a ‘very tough day’ for him after Jeff Zucker, 56, was ousted from CNN earlier this week for not disclosing to the network that he was involved with Allison Gollust, 49, his friend and colleague of over 20 years. After two days of radio silence on the matter, Lemon – who was featured prominently in a photo of Zucker and his lover Gollust at a Billy Joel concert that helped expose their relationship- (right) offered high praise for the man he credited for his career. ‘The truth is we are all heartbroken because we lost our leader here, we lost a man who was the backbone, the glue and the spirit of his company,’ Lemon said.”
Pumps.
Go to Frontline. Spend 2 hrs of your life and watch the video on Putin.
It all makes sense.
But remember, Putin is like the guy who is banging your wife. She is the one who is the w h oor.
He is just guilty of exploiting your countries weaknesses and arrogance. You take the bait, it’s on you.
Go hold your children, this is the world you are providing them. America no longer has enough magnetic force to hold itself together- in fact, it’s like the poles have reversed and it’s beginning to repel itself apart.
I feel for the youth in America, as the older generations have caused every bit of this damage.
And BTW,
Pence is correct. I don’t even like him. Not one bit.
But he held like a tree in a storm for a core value.
It might be the last time you see that.
Phoenix,
There is zero chance trump got into office without the help of Russia. They got what they wanted, a buffoon who divided our country to the point our cities were being occupied and our capital attacked. Cream of the crop, trump got his supporters to believe our elections are rigged. F’ing A. They got our own people to fight against a vaccine that might save their life.
Wow, just wow.
Go F Me is what you get when you allow corporations to control your government.
CNN is what you get when you allow them to control your personal life.
Facebook is what you get when you give all of your personal details to a corporation, who will use them any way they can.
Keep playing this game America, it won’t end well.
“And LW, Please don’t comment on my grammar. What were you a effing English Major :)”
Content only for me….my posts have been typed hash these past two weeks, too many screens open and paying attention to bigger things on the flashing screen….
Although, I cannot avoid noticing that one of our resident teachers and our self styled oracle cannot distinguish between ‘censor’ and ‘censure’…..JFHC………smh
Pumps.
Not debating you. Watch the video.
Putin didn’t elect anyone. Americans did.
Some guy effed my ex wife. After work, after they visited a bar. My Putin.
ATEOTD, she was the w h ooor. She spread her legs. She ruined her daughter’s life. She cost me a fortune that was to go to my child.
Don’t blame Putin for what voters did in America. I don’t blame a hard d for what happened in my marriage either.
In my marriage it’s the integrity of my partner that was to blame. I had chances to cheat many times. Turned every one down. That’s a core value, you either have that or you don’t.
Americans don’t have it any more than my ex did.
Therein lies the problem. Good luck solving it.
And that makes me stupid right? Go on and say it. At least Im not dumb enough to think the election is rigged or that I’m better off without vaccines.
“Although, I cannot avoid noticing that one of our resident teachers and our self styled oracle cannot distinguish between ‘censor’ and ‘censure’…..JFHC………smh”
LW,
You do realize that your style of writing far exceeds anything else on this forum don’t you?
For sure. After raiding Clinton’s emails and having the FBI jump in the week of the election. Hats off to Russia, they pulled it off. They manipulated our election with information.
“Putin didn’t elect anyone. Americans did”
They manipulated our election with information.
If you have good core values, this doesn’t work.
I may have a patient who has murdered a dozen people. But let me tell you one thing about me.
I will put as much effort into saving that life as I would anyone else. Have no money, no problem, you still get 100 percent.
If I had Hillary or Trump as a patient, no difference in care.
It’s why I like what I do, and fight 100 percent to get someone home. It’s my core.
You don’t cheat on a partner. Ever. That’s my core.
You are a cop? You don’t choose a side, or break the law. Ever. That’s my core.
Does America have a strong core? I have my doubts. I hope I am wrong as I have put a small being on this planet in this country that I care about. A being that my ex used as a weapon against me. A system attacked me as well using the love of my child as a tool.
Not forgotten. Ever. My 911.
Will this country survive. I hope so as I now have someone I love who will be floundering around in this mess of a Democracy.
Pumpy.
A sweet simple analogy for you.
It’s pouring outside. You are driving your sweet little BMW that makes you so moist like a Duncan Hines chocolate cake.
You see the road curves to the left in front of you.
Suddenly a truck sends a massive wall of water across the Jersey divider into that lovely supple curved sheet of glass that you painstakingly cleaned on your day off as a smudge on it would bother you too much.
Now that you are as blind as Ray Charles are you going to trust your memory and turn the wheel to the left and not crash, or are you going to panic and allow yourself to be deceived by the false information in front of you?
Your choice.
That’s the bizarro world of the indoctrinated. That’s what the schools teach now. Information is manipulation, censorship of anything you disagree with is safety. It’s best for Pumps to retreat to his safe space echo chamber.
Members of you party and your President claimed the election was rigged. They even acted on it by storming the capital. What do you have to say about that? That’s not indoctrination?

That’s the bizarro world of the indoctrinated.
Is this what has become of the Republican party? Seems so, they put a bigot in office for 4 years and then flipped out when he lost the election.
“Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol,” he tweeted. “Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost.”
A few on here don’t like Tik Tok.
I get it.
I found it as a place to teach my child how to watch a short video and try and figure out if what they are watching is real or fake. Should it be trusted. What is the agenda of the originator of the video.
What I like about it the most, teaching her about music. Cause it’s all on there.
Nothing is truly bad. Not even Tik Tok. Or radiation. Or blood. Or guns. Or sex. Or drugs.
It’s all how you approach these things. All can be used as a learning tool or a positive experience if done right.
“You do realize that your style of writing far exceeds anything else on this forum don’t you?”
Thanks…I guess?
Never thought about it…if true, I guess being of good form and reasonable content on an internet forum in my 50s is the consolation prize for four years of liberal arts education and decades authoring corporate documents..lol :)
Lots of good people here.
And I never judge anyone by the suit they wear, or don’t….
Pumps,
Look at what has happened to the democrats as well.
They elected a nursing home patient. Is he even oriented AAO x 4?
If you don’t know what that is, look it up.
Please tell me this is all a bad dream.
LW,
Yeah.
Your writing is that good. It’s noticeable. I don’t think my daughter’s teacher could keep up with you.
Hahaa. But for real.
I’m a tad jealous.
Well in PA, the mail by vote scheme was ruled unconstitutional so I’m ok with the rigged language. I wouldn’t go as far as stolen if you want to split hairs.
The left used the pandemic to tweak the election everywhere they could sing with implementing everything else on their wishlist. They will never let it go until they are voted out. Polls indicate that’s coming in the fall.

The democrats have their crazies, but they haven’t hijacked the party yet. They were close, but the moderates somehow closed the lid on them with this spending bill. I hate the extreme progressives f’ing me in the ass with the salt cap as much as I hate the trumpers crying about vaccines. The difference is, the trumpers hijacked the Republican party and drove it towards stupidity. The way they defend his bigotry and his every word makes me sick. Trump is perfect. He can do no wrong. He is the best. He is making america great again. Like am I living in the twilight zone? Talk about indoctrination.
It’s sad that a small majority of democrats is all we have left of moderate politicians. People like Mikie Sherrill are who we have to rally around.

Pure strategy. In the end, the poor are going to vote for democrats because get this…democrats help them. You call it buying their votes, but the poor see it as help. Are you going to blame them for doing what is in their best interest?
Why in the world would a poor individual vote Republican? So they can take away everything from them from public education to assistance with rent? They would have to be insane.
“the mail by vote scheme”
“U.S. warns China risks embarrassment if it backs Russia on Ukraine”
A headline this morning.
Hahaha.
You wanna know what’s embarrassing (besides my poor grammar?)
The fact that Americans can’t build a car, or an Iphone, without the help of a foreign entity.
That’s embarrassing.
Sure sounds good. Until next week when you flip your political view again and start spotting some anti leftist gibberish.
Blumpy, it’s what the cult does. Pence will be thrown over side now.Dumpy entertains them and angers Libs. They are getting angrier bc in their black hearts they know Trump’s economy and brash talk was pure BS. Ole cadaver Brandon is lapping him and jobs are strong, Dow up and labor is flourishing. Same as it ever was the Fed controls it. Realizing they have no policy or platform they will make stuff up, make world more dangerous and wrap themselves up in Star and bars blankie screaming about faux patriotism disguised as hatred of others
I’m not saying democrats are the answer. I’m simply pointing out that the Republican party has been hijacked by stupidity and bigotry masked in the idea of “Make America Great Again.” Real Republicans have to take back the party and demonstrate that they don’t stand for this. Problem is, it’s now the party of poor whites and now you are going to have a hard time moving away from those messages. You lose their votes and you have no shot at election. Backed themselves into a corner where they must now appeal to the bigotry and stupidity of poor whites.

There is no answer except getting rid of all the f-in old crows like Biden,Trump, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, Graham. Reform politics so it is not mechanism for connected to get ultra wealthy. Also understand many of the old f&cks on this board that spout conservatism don’t matter anymore. They had time and they are out of touch with extreme capitalism and social issues. We are in end cycle, not 1950s. Boomers partied in 60/70s, got their pensions, got 1m for shitbox and got their politicians to put in extreme debt to fund their sunny retirements. They have closed door for millenials and younger gen. I am at end of 40s and I know I am not future anymore. It worries me that AOC, Boeberts and Cawthornes are taking mantle because extreme views. If they don’t get rejected then there is no hope. As Phoenix said, end game and waiting for it to implode with next sever downcycle
My friends wife worked at Worldcom they had stock worth a quarter of a million he called me for advice. I said when you wake up in the morning hit any bid.

So I hear her in the background as we were on the phone saying what is Alan the only one allowed to be rich . I said Craig put Mirabel on the phone.

Bystander,
What a good post. You really nail it.
Bystander: The Dems have no policy or platform either. Old Joe stirring the pot with Russia and Ukraine, because he can, but silent on China. More and more Americans are starting to realize both parties suck and don’t give a damn about the American people.
Bystander: Totally agree on your last post. I would add term limits for all elected officials. Mandatory retirement for politicians of 70. One 6 year term for President. Get rid of the lobbyists, corporations are not people. Get out of the Middle East and never go back, fix the border and immigration. Jail time for corporate executives that can bring an economy to its knees.
Here’s how scary the inflation is right now. Ordering something from Home Depot online and the price went up 30% between adding it to the cart and checkout.
BITG,
Was the item made in America.
Hahahaha
There is no fixing border..it is hogwash argument. The US system is built on cheap labor. Part of slavery teachings that country will never own. The same politicians who rile up red hat mooks with immigration, hire third world cooks, nannies, landscapers and cabana boys. Small business would collapse if had to pay immigrants fair wage on W2. Govt knows this. It is political hubris.
There is no fixing the boarder with a wall. There are fixes to our immigration policy, some of which you mention as unlikely to happen. It wouldn’t collapse small business (there would be a big adjustment, yes). If it would, the government would do it because 1) they don’t care about small business and 2) they the gov/rich/politically connected would still break the rules since they know they won’t be held accountable.
I’m told the below was a WaPo guest editorial. Haven’t checked it, can’t get past the paywall. By the opening reference it seems dated but still salient and maybe more relevant now. Interesting read by a leftist with an equally interesting journey there.
By Frank Schaeffer of the Washington Post.
Before my son became a Marine, I never thought much about who was defending me. Now when I read of the war on terrorism or the coming conflict in Iraq, it cuts to my heart. When I see a picture of a member of our military who has been killed, I read his or her name very carefully. Sometimes I cry.
In 1999, when the barrel-chested Marine recruiter showed up in dress blues and bedazzled my son John, I did not stand in the way. John was headstrong, and he seemed to understand these stern, clean men with straight backs and flawless uniforms. I did not. I live in the Volvo-driving, higher education-worshiping North Shore of Boston. I write novels for a living. I have never served in the military.
It had been hard enough sending my two older children off to Georgetown and New York University. John’s enlisting was unexpected, so deeply unsettling. I did not relish the prospect of answering the question, “So where is John going to college?” from the parents who were itching to tell me all about how their son or daughter was going to Harvard. At the private high school John attended, no other students were going into the military. “But aren’t the Marines terribly Southern?” (Says a lot about open-mindedness in the Northeast) asked one perplexed mother while standing next to me at the brunch following graduation. “What a waste, he was such a good student,” said another parent. One parent (a professor at a nearby and rather famous university) spoke up at a school meeting and suggested that the school should, “carefully evaluate what went wrong.”
When John graduated from three months of boot camp on Parris Island, 3000 parents and friends were on the parade deck stands. We parents and our Marines not only were of many races but also were representative of many economic classes. Many were poor. Some arrived crammed in the backs of pickups, others by bus. John told me that a lot of parents could not afford the trip.
We in the audience were white and Native American. We were Hispanic, Arab, and African American, and Asian. We were former Marines wearing the scars of battle, or at least baseball caps emblazoned with battles’ names. We were Southern whites from Nashville and skinheads from New Jersey, black kids from Cleveland wearing ghetto rags and white ex-cons with ham-hock forearms defaced by jailhouse tattoos. We would not have been mistaken for the educated and well-heeled parents gathered on the lawns of John’s private school a half-year before. After graduation one new Marine told John, “Before I was a Marine, if I had ever seen you on my block I would’ve probably killed you just because you were standing there.” This was a serious statement from one of John’s good friends, a black ex-gang member from Detroit who, as John said, “would die for me now, just like I’d die for him.”
My son has connected me to my country in a way that I was too selfish and insular to experience before. I feel closer to the waitress at our local diner than to some of my oldest friends. She has two sons in the Corps. They are facing the same dangers as my boy. When the guy who fixes my car asks me how John is doing, I know he means it. His younger brother is in the Navy.
Why were I and the other parents at my son’s private school so surprised by his choice? During World War II, the sons and daughters of the most powerful and educated families did their bit. If the idea of the immorality of the Vietnam War was the only reason those lucky enough to go to college dodged the draft, why did we not encourage our children to volunteer for military service once that war was done?
Have we wealthy and educated Americans all become pacifists? Is the world a safe place? Or have we just gotten used to having somebody else defend us? What is the future of our democracy when the sons and daughters of the janitors at our elite universities are far more likely to be put in harm’s way than are any of the students whose dorms their parents clean?
I feel shame because it took my son’s joining the Marine Corps to make me take notice of who is defending me. I feel hope because perhaps my son is part of a future “greatest generation.” As the storm clouds of war gather, at least I know that I can look the men and women in uniform in the eye. My son is one of them. He is the best I have to offer. John is my heart.
Faith is not about everything turning out OK; Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out.
Bidenisgoat,
If you have some time, listen to this all the way through. He does an amazing job of explaining the current state of the economy. Everyone should be required to watch this so they have an understanding of what exactly is going on.
Give this a watch. Really does a good job breaking this down. Free education is the most valuable thing you can do with your time, so take advantage of it when it’s available.

America Is Facing a Great Talent Recession
If the U.S. is to stand up to a resurgent China, it needs to think as hard about finding top talent as it does about promoting equity.
“Today, in the face of the multifaceted economic and technological challenges posed by the ascent of an autocratic China, the U.S. needs to adopt the same seriousness about intellectual leadership that it mustered following the beep, beep, beep heard round the world. Massively increase spending on gifted children. Improve selection into gifted programs so that they choose the truly able rather than the socially advantaged. Expand the academically selective schools like Lowell that did such a formidable job of providing opportunities for poor immigrants after the great wave of immigration in the late 19th century. Understand that diversity is a tool of excellence, not its antithesis. Force universities to broaden their social catchment as a condition of keeping federal money.”

Isn’t a share buyback theoretically a bullish signal by company management to the market? In a corporate structure with finite resources, they are choosing reduce the float of shares as one of their most efficient uses of capital?
Or are you just cynical about the act of corporate share buybacks, where large bureaucratic managements try to play capital markets, and empirically fcuk the process up?
I ran share buybacks at AT&T, so I have had to write papers (i.e., memos) about it.

But end of Omicron means more people shopping in person. Also, they bought back their own shares for the first time since 2016. Not exactly bullish.

Bystander: Immigration can be fixed. A wall won’t do it, but it can be fixed. We don’t need Harris to go down to Central America to determine the root causes; everyone knows what they are. We have to have a system in place we have to know who is coming into this country and where they are. It’s not racist, it’s not Republican or Democrat, it’s common sense. We have to have a plan to take care of these immigrants when they are old and no longer able to work. We have to ensure their children and grandchildren are not left behind and are able to compete. It’s only common sense. I am a child of immigrants, so I am certainly not anti immigrant. But, it’s a different world now and we have to have rational and coherent policies in place to address immigration.

All you fools that think you will be passing on your low cost area boomer retirement real estate for your cost are in for a wild ride when you die. Just remember, you are just an avg. All your peers will be flooding the market at the same time.
Just say no to buying real estate in boomer driven markets.

Sounds about right.
“Saudi Arabia attempting to pull off the biggest pump and dump of all time. Forcing oil prices higher by limiting production and now dumping $50 Bil of Armaco stock on the market. Lots of Princes to feed…”
3b/Joyce,
I agree that there could be some improvement but it is politically impossible give state of this country. I mean we had idiots posting that Biden was paying kids in cage families million each…as fact. The Rs have painted illegals as enemies. They can’t turn back now. Just watch R debate from 80 when Bush and Reagan were talking about helping them and providing path to citizenship. Orange clown destroyed path almost singlehandedly with rhetoric.
I tutor for someone who’s parents are both doctors at a major hospital. They said their ICUs were overwhelmed this season, but not by covid. It was other things. They also said they haven’t had a new covid admission into their ICU in two weeks.

It’s going to be underwater literally. The Doomsday Glacier will make most areas uninhabitable by then.
Dwayne Johnson WITHDRAWS his support for ‘perfectly articulated’ anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan after N-word clips resurface and declares: ‘I am now educated to his complete narrative’
‘I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I’ve become educated to his complete narrative. Learning moment for me,’ The Rock, 49, tweeted on Friday. Rogan, 54, has been under fire in recent weeks from progressives and others in favor of canceling the Joe Rogan Experience host’s $100million deal with the world’s most popular streaming service for what’s been called misinformation regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. On Saturday, Rogan responded to an old clip that resurfaced from his podcast in which he used the N-word over 20 times, apologizing and calling it ‘the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.’
‘Biden promised to restore trust, but trust is in short supply’: Now AP turns on the president after State Dept. spokesman Ned Price questioned the loyalty of its reporter who asked for proof of claim Putin is planning ‘false flag’ operation”
Looks like everything is working as planned.
Wow. So MSM news organizations are no longer automatically an arm of DNC?
I guess Biden did usher in some change.
1. Ukraine invasion could come “any day now,” says White House. The warning from national security adviser Jake Sullivan came after a series of Russian military moves and potential political steps heightened concern within the Biden administration that an incursion by Moscow could be imminent. Should Russia continue adding to its forces and then mount an all-out attack, 25,000 to 50,000 civilians would be killed or wounded, U.S. intelligence assessments project.-wsj
Pumps: The President of Ukraine has repeatedly asked Biden to tone down the alarm so as not to cause panic in the people, and disrupt the economy. I think Biden should listen to him.
Chi,
Call me cynic, but share buybacks raise EPS by reducing the share count. Considering they have an open program to buy back shares since 2016. I find their timing a little dubious. Their two last quarters were weak EPS wise. It made sense to purchase some to juice earnings.
Listen, I still think long-term, Amazon and Apple are the two surest bets. I just think NOW isn’t the time to buy anything. I think we are about to face a serious correction by the end of tax season, I will definitely be adding some of both names at that time.
For the past 50 years, the US has made every single international military situation that they’ve participated in worse. Give it a rest.
But it does sell a lot of war machines.
Got popcorn?
