The USA is weird now. If you’re a person under 30, you probably think it’s normal but that’s because you don’t know Trust me. It’s weird.

The AI bubble was the last straw holding the battered housing market together Without a wealth effect from lofty Nasdaq valuations or access to low rates/cheap credit, there will be no buyers

San Antonio and Dallas are not walkable cities So I really don’t understand the point of a train versus driving and having your vehicle with you—because you’ll need it

Many unhappy Prosper residents Some established neighborhoods have been rezoned to new schools 3x in the last 5 years A few of the proposed middle school zones make zero sense, requiring kids to cross major tollways or drive past 1-2 other campuses en route to their new one

Many families moved to Prosper from other parts of the metroplex 10 years ago, looking for small town stability. They poured resources into establishing the town and schools Their older kids graduated HS with their elementary friends, and now their younger kids are being rezoned right and left

So, turns out I had the flu last week, and the Garmin watch actually picked up on micro-signs of strain and fatigue 48 hrs BEFORE the classic symptoms hit Perhaps these Smartwatches are aptly named…
AI is a gift to analytical hypochondriacs everywhere (and our spouses 😆)

The last time we got $1500 checks, it was followed by 30% inflation but maybe “it’s different this time”?
Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans have been hoarding so much money in the state’s Rainy Day Fund that our new Governor elect, Gina Hinojosa, is proposing to send $1,500 checks to every Texas household. Your vote matters.

Since 2020, there has been more growth in new millionaire renter households than new millionaire homeowner households More younger millionaires are choosing to rent. And some older millionaires are cashing out and selling their homes to move to assisted living

I hate to say it but the real shocking thing is a billionaire, celebrity, or politician who stays married for more than 25 years and DOESN’T cheat on their spouse

Renting is increasingly becoming a lifestyle choice, not something people have to do because they can’t afford otherwise

Texas is 38% white and 41% Latino Trump won over 50% of the Latino vote in 2024 Abbott did not in 2026 This demographic was the election decider. Not H-1Bs (who can’t vote) or Indian US citizens (they make up less than 3% of Texas population)
