    Consider the fact that she left L.A. to move to Austin, and it's a big step up. She's young still (33) and follows the corporate opportunities. Only planned on staying in Cali long enough to get established. Went from Director of global marketing and partnerships at Tinder to VP of marketing at Real in Austin and a good raise to boot. She's pretty conservative, a capitalist juggernaut, and I don't worry about her too much. Just following the money and building her empire LOL. Just bought her 3rd air B&B, and has a nice house in Austin. She makes almost 5 times what I did at her age, as does her husband. Some millennials are out there seriously kicking ass, in case anyone thought the entire generation is shit; there are many fully prepared to take the wheel of the world. See... you got me talking about my kid and now I won't shut up. I'll stop now LOL. Dad is proud.

    And you should be proud. You did well Dad. I know she is just doing what I did, live in a liberal infested Houston in order to make money. Austin used to be nice city with a small town feel, despite the University of Texas. You could afford land and a house, especially out of the city. Those days are long gone. It has grown tremendously and spilling into the countryside. Last time I was there traveling with one of my sales guys all I saw was Cali plates and the outrages prices for housing and land. MG and I looked for land briefly out that way and decided it was way overpriced. If she can put up with the liberal cesspool she should do well there. Lot's of big money moving in, great restaurants, lot's to do, and she can buy a gun and take it home with her that very same day!

(Unless they are the young punks, but that is another breed entirely). The wetbacks come through in packs and they will just destroy your pastures and your stuff. They do not care if Border Patrol gets them because they know they will be released in a couple hours. The cartels, not so much. If you leave them alone, they usually leave you alone.

    I would prefer not to have any of them (and we didn't have them 4 years ago while they were building the wall). But given the choice between the cartels and the wetbacks, I would take the cartels 100% of the time.
    But Cartel Actions would change in a SHTF scenario, because with the failure of law things will go into wild west mode and they will try to control as much territory ruthlessly wherever they are just like they do in Mexico now.

    One of my favorite trading channels, Johnny Bravo, had this to say today.



    He is a little excitable and hawks his online courses a bit too much. But I never fault a guy for trying to make money. His track record has been very good for the last 1-2 years that I have been paying attention to him.
