    HB145 - Increase NR license fees

    This is true. But also, not new for GG. And he just got reelected. So…

    HB145 - Increase NR license fees

    Probably true, but this wasn't the best opinion piece. I'm guessing he meant it as an Anti-GG post, and I am fully on board that train. But the complaining by MT about NRs and money is getting old. The solution is obvious. The WA DFW is facing budget cuts because of the fiscal deficit. The...

    HB145 - Increase NR license fees

    True, but it is hard to compare the states. To a lot of NRs, the license is the cost of applying. ID and MT for example : ID $185 for the hunting license and $350 for the deer tag. MT charges $15 and then $744 for the deer tag. ID doesn't have points, MT has both pref and bonus depending on how...

    HB145 - Increase NR license fees

    The resident license costs less than the average person spends at McDonalds for a value meal. The author needs to gain some perspective.

    Dept of Interior handed over to DOGE

    Would be nice to see a list. They seem to have the specific numbers so why make the announcement if they aren’t going to publish the list? Also, not holding my breath on them showing the same commitment to hunting, fishing, and conservation in the budget.

    January Inflation

    Sorry, I should have said June. Fed Funds futures are currently showing no rate cut for May (meeting next week) and about a 33% chance for a cut in June. This Fed does not surprise, EVER, so we will see if next week they start prepping the market for a cut in June. I expect Trump to post...

    January Inflation

    Yeah, I get it. I don’t necessarily disagree with that model, but I don’t know that I agree with it either. It’s an odd space for me to be in. FF rate was still well above wage growth rate and inflation continues to slowly decline, so maybe. I just don’t see the direct impact to tariffs- not...

    January Inflation

    That’s the traditional thought. Honestly I don’t think int rates matter much. Tariffs are going to raise prices. The question is who is going to absorb them. If people have jobs they will complain but pay the higher prices. If people say “No” to the prices (because they choose to or because they...

    Construction, busy or slowing down

    Storage units are great during recessions, so someone has a diversified portfolio. lol. Ever wonder how we (USA) have so many storage units? We even have TV shows about buying the crap in storage units, sight unseen. I had someone from Europe ask me why and I didn’t have a great answer other...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Ok…we will call it progress. China says it's evaluating U.S. overtures to initiate talks on trade https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/china-says-its-evaluating-us-overtures-to-initiate-talks-on-trade.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    That sounds a lot like McDonalds...and Meta.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    You pretty much got it. It gets even better though. One of the top items Vietnam imports from US...wait for it...cotton1 So yep, we ship them cotton which they turn into clothes and ship back to us. I can't wait to see what Vietnam agrees to buy to balance that out. The market is confused, but...

    DOGE could have fired every federal employee and not come close to hitting the "target" number.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Sure they are complex. They take even longer when the parties refuse to talk to each other. Add to the complexity that it's not clear what is being negotiated. They put tariffs on Vietnam and Vietnam quickly agree to remove all tariffs on US imports but the Admin didn't agree and made it about...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    SPX ATH was around 6145, low-mark from selloff was around 5000. We sit at 5640, which is pretty close to the middle. To rephrase your question, do you think they learned their lesson? I'm guessing no. To add to your prediction, the market is back to looking rich. If they could announce some...

    Land management agency impact stories...

    Those dams produce a lot of electricity. The COE has both the money and the knowledge to manage and maintain them. The rec sites were a bonus. WA is already looking at a large budget deficit that it is trying to fill. Camping fees wouldn't fill the hole. The simple answer is electricity prices...

    Land management agency impact stories...

    Probably more local to the area of E Wash, E Oregon, and W ID, but also tip-of-the-iceberg. Army Corp of Engineers to shutter 10 recreation sites along the lower Snake River. All due to lack of staffing. Lower Granite Dam and Lock - The Visitor Center will be closed Sundays through Thursdays...

    Selling Public Land for Budget Reconciliatory Bill

    Enough is an amount large enough that could change the results of an election. Wow. You took a hard right turn down a rabbit hole on that one. (EDIT: You might be surprised by the number of college students on medicaid. But generally, HS education and below makes a person much higher to need...

    Selling Public Land for Budget Reconciliatory Bill

    There is a long history of not touching the big stuff. I am not blaming the last election on this. I am saying there is a nervousness about touching it now. And see @jryoung post. Well, yes. I mean, not all of them, obviously, but enough. Look at demographics on voter education, look at the...
