  • @Phil | The Break from Politics
    Click here to reply to @Phil

    "And really kind of coming to the realization that, you know what, how do I even know that the person posting this is even a real person? How do I know it's not even a bot? And really just kind of dismissing that entire stream. But I have to also mention that if I'm not following politics and I'm not, there isn't that much else to really talk about. Of course there should be, but news is dominated by politics."

    "This is a cost cutting, cost cutting initiative. I don't see how this can kind of come in, step in and solve the problems that need to be happening within the aviation system. But this is where we're at. And expect more of this DEI to blame DOGE to solve the problem. It's just that easy."

    "And instead of uniting the people around a tragedy, he chose a path of division, basically baselessly claiming that it might have been a reason that proved to be not at all existent. That, to me is concerning. Especially if we have another crisis on the scale of COVID or worse or even not as bad. It just has shown to me over this past 10 days that crisis Management is still not a forte of Donald Trump or the administration."

  • @Phil | The NFL Playoffs: Few surprises but now it gets real

    "But if you look over in the afc, the AFC is very top heavy. But pretty much everything that was in place at the halfway point of the season pretty much just floated on by and we have Denver grabbing that last playoff spot, which we thought was going to happen. So nothing really much changed in the last half of the season for the afc. And it does appear like it really is just a three team conference."

  • @Phil | The Final Four: College Football Playoff

    "But there was a lot of uproar about Indiana being in, about SMU being in and not Alabama, and of course some of the other SEC teams with three losses, including Mississippi and South Carolina. Well then a funny thing happens during their bowl games. Alabama losing to a depleted Michigan team. Michigan without their best players with a limited quarterback playing still went on to beat Alabama. South Carolina loses to a middle of the road Big Ten team of Illinois. And I think those concerns have been alleviated."

    "Because after the election, as I mentioned on this swellcast here, I took a break from politics and I had planned to do that no matter who won the election. But I really wanted to take a break and really just kind of, you guys, everybody has voted in who they wanted as the President, as the Senate of the House, and I was going to leave it alone. And let's see what happens. And for the most part, I have really not engaged."

    "But at the same time, what a magical ride. This was. Everything that I love about college football, about college sports in general this year, just really bringing everybody together and putting us all on a magic carpet ride that I'll just never forget. This was so much fun and I really just had to share that."

    "And don't forget Arizona State and, and Boise State just having incredible years to get buys in this College Football Playoff. Really amazing things. But as we look to what we are going to get this weekend, I look at the spreads and there's really not a lot of close games that Vegas thinks are going to be close. Every game spread is at least seven and a half points. And Texas is favored by eleven and a half. Penn State favored by eight and a half."

  • @Phil | The Beavis and Butthead Economy: Fartcoin eclipses $700mil market cap
    Click here to reply to @Phil

    "Are we making decisions on our hard earned money to be investing into farts and something named Fart Coin? It really is a testament to how creative or how creativity and community can really challenge the traditional notions of value in this financial world. And for me, I'm lost. I'm going down, throwing out all those books of value, looking at cash flows, financial statements, what is coming on with revenue, and I'm just going to throw it all in the trash."

    "They really don't depend on it. But about 60% of the private smaller firms actually depend on these loans tied to short term interest rates. And when they're high, they're not going to be as likely to hire on people and create those jobs. And with them being high, we know that on December 18th, Jerome Powell, it will most likely bring rates down again. He sees the same report that we're looking at right now here."
