“Is Having a Baby in 2021 Pure
Environmental Vandalism?” 🙄 NOPE.
“What’s needed to address current and future problems are freedom, brainpower, and rational optimism, NOT hysteria, fatalism, and anti-human nihilism"
Nihilists are boring. Loving life and loving people is truly rebellious. Part of life is embracing death yes, but as an ISM or an obsession, it’s not the whole picture.

‘It’s happening & it’s probably spreading’: Canadian health officials baffled by MYSTERY deadly brain disease
A fresh outbreak of a mysterious illness has been making headlines in Canada. A neurological disease dubbed the New Brunswick Syndrome has affected dozens and killed six people in recent months in the region that gave it its name.
I wouldn’t normally think of vehicles as great assets, (extreme depreciation), but 2020/2021 proved that used vehicles CAN be profitable.
In 2020 I bought an ‘09 Honda Element. I put 60,000kms on it. And then I sold it for a small profit. Slightly better than having a free vehicle, I got paid to drive it.
In Feb I bought this 2013 Tacoma. 50,000kms and in great condition. I consider this a keeper. But IF I need to sell it, I can see online that it would already go for about 2k more than I paid for it. Even if I double the mileage. (This isn’t inflation yet).
My guess: the gradual markup in used cars is happening because brand new vehicle prices are absurd, they’re not built well, and they’re loaded with tech/computers that a lot of drivers resent. Especially when it comes to repairs.
I was actually looking to buy older (08/09), to avoid Bluetooth, but the low mileage won.
So, I consider this one place I’m storing value for now. There’s assets besides homes! Dogs are another good one. And community. 😊
