Tractor pulls scared all the people away

These farmers don't even use recent tractors in tractor pulls, they use tractors from the 1950s through 1970 especially for tractor pulls around here. (I was going to call them rednecks, but they don't have Confederate flags LOL :-p)   Farm tractors cost 90,000 to $140,000 the most outdated get to be in the tractor pull.  Otherwise, recent John Deere 7410 tractors from the 1990s in the corn fields. These recent John Deere and New Holland last 20 years minimum. Maybe all the millionaires own the John Deere 9RT tractors so the tractor fanbase died off. My tractor pull videos weren't popular, only 40 views on the mediocre talent around here.  There isn't anything that screams watch me at County fairs in this county.
 
 
 Nobody wants to add a John Deere tractor on Pinterest I mean.

The remaining fanbase is all about speculation of (old school) mid-20th century technology.

Barnes and Noble deserves going bankrupt

 
Barnes and Noble says that American companies bringing anime to Region 1 are imports and charge 300% over the online price for Sailor Moon.  Barnes and Noble is unbelievably retarded. I'll get a pre-paid credit card and do it myself and save 300%. The overhead for paper books is 50% added cost and there is a shit load of paper farms in this country. I used to watch this between the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Now Sailor Moon is more popular then Dragon Ball Z for some stupid reason.  Read University students watch it.
 
I bought this for $50, The bootleg version is is worth the fake regret it later discussions online. DVD with 2 MBit video have functioned for over a decade. Good thing I already have all the Sailor Moons except for Sailor Moon Crystal 2014 series.

Millionaires buy businesses, not stock

Warren Buffett is perhaps the greatest investor of all time, and he has a simple solution that could help an individual turn $40 into $10 million.
A few years ago, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) CEO and Chairman Warren Buffett spoke about one of his favorite companies, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and how after dividends, stock splits, and patient reinvestment, someone who bought just $40 worth of the company's stock when it went public in 1919 would now have more than $5 million.

Source: Coca-Cola.
Yet in April 2012, when the board of directors proposed a stock split of the beloved soft-drink manufacturer, that figure was updated and the company noted that original $40 would now be worth $9.8 million. A little back-of-the-envelope math of the total return of Coke since May 2012 would mean that $9.8 million is now worth about $10.8 million.


The power of patience
I know that $40 in 1919 is very different from $40 today. However, even after factoring for inflation, it turns out to be $540 in today's money. Put differently, would you rather have an Xbox One, or almost $11 million?
But the thing is, it isn't even as though an investment in Coca-Cola was a no-brainer at that point, or in the near century since then. Sugar prices were rising. World War I had just ended a year prior. The Great Depression happened a few years later. World War II resulted in sugar rationing. And there have been countless other things over the past 100 years that would cause someone to question whether their money should be in stocks, much less one of a consumer-goods company like Coca-Cola.

The dangers of timing
Yet as Buffett has noted continually, it's terribly dangerous to attempt to time the market:
"With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen; you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when"
So often investors are told they must attempt to time the market, and begin investing when the market is on the rise, and sell when the market is falling.
This type of technical analysis of watching stock movements and buying based on how the prices fluctuate over 200-day moving averages or other seemingly arbitrary fluctuations often receives a lot of media attention, but it has been proved to simply be no better than random chance.


Investing for the long term
Individuals need to see that investing is not like placing a wager on the 49ers to cover the spread against the Panthers, but instead it's buying a tangible piece of a business.
It is absolutely important to understand the relative price you are paying for that business, but what isn't important is attempting to understand whether you're buying in at the "right time," as that is so often just an arbitrary imagination.
In Buffett's own words, "if you're right about the business, you'll make a lot of money," so don't bother about attempting to buy stocks based on how their stock charts have looked over the past 200 days. Instead always remember that "it's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price."

American women prefer Little Dogs over little babies

The fewer babies Americans give birth to, the more small dogs they seem to buy.
Birth rates in the US have fallen from nearly 70 per 1,000 women in 2007, to under 63 last year—a 10% tumble. American women birthed almost 400,000 fewer little humans in 2013 than they did six years before. The drop-off has come exclusively among 15- to 29-year-olds. This chart, taken from a recent report by the US Department of Health (pdf), does a pretty decent job of showing how much of the growing disinterest in having babies is due to younger women:

Meanwhile, the ownership of small dogs—that is, pets weighing no more than 20 pounds (9 kilograms)—is doing just the opposite. Americans have been buying more and more small dogs each year since 1999. The population of little canines more than doubled in the US over that period, and is only projected to continue upwards, according to data from market research firm Euromonitor.
“You do not have to go to many pet shows to realize that the numbers of small and tiny dogs are on the increase,” a report by Pets International opened in 2010 (pdf).
And rightly so. The number of small dogs has grown so fast that they are now the most popular kind nationwide.
US-pet-dog-population-Small-dogs-Medium-dogs-Big-dogs_chartbuilder
It could just be a coincidence that Americans are birthing fewer babies at the same time as they’re buying a lot more little dogs. But there’s pretty good reason to believe it isn’t, Damian Shore, an analyst at market-research firm Euromonitor, told Quartz. “There’s definitely some replacement happening there,” he said.

One telling sign that the two are not entirely unrelated is that the same age groups that are forgoing motherhood are leading the small dog charge. “Women are not only having fewer children, but are also getting married later. There are more single and unmarried women in their late 20s and early 30s, which also happens to be the demographic that buys the most small dogs,” Shore said.
There’s also evidence people are treating their dogs a bit more like little humans these days. Premium dog food, the most expensive kind, has grown by 170% over the past 15 years, and now accounts for 57% of of the overall dog food market.

There are now tools to monitor your dog’s fitness, ice cream trucks exclusively for canines, and vacations designed exclusively for dog-having people. “The animals in our homes are family. They’re like children,” David Grimm, the author of the book Citizen Canine, told Wired this week.
Of course, small dog ownership isn’t rising just because people want kid substitutes. Fashion trends aside, small dogs are also emblematic of a national migration to cities, where big dogs are harder to keep. Nearly 80% of Americans live in urban areas. “Smaller homes and apartments are also helping drive the growing popularity of smaller dogs,” Shore said.
But the national trend towards later motherhood is certainly playing its part. And those who treat their pooches and pugs like babies may be on to something. A study last year found that dogs form bonds of dependency with their owners not unlike the ones babies form with their parents.

World War III Theory 2

Prologue
In the first half of the 20th century, there were two major military conflicts of global reach that changed
the politics and economy in the world. They were called World War I (1914-1918) and World War II
(1939-1945). There was also a period of great economic crisis between these two wars, named The
Great Depression (1929-1939). The second half of the 20th century was marked by a non-military
conflict between capitalist and socialist countries, the Cold War (1947-1991). The Cold War began as a
result of World War II, and brought a lot of changes in global culture. In 1991, after the dissolution of
the Soviet Union and the consequent end of the Cold War, people come to believe that the world has
achieved "peace". But this is not true. The end of the Cold War brought a series of unprecedented social
problems, and during the 1990s and the 2000s there were a number of criticisms of the government
systems in the world. From the 2010s, the world is about to go through another period of crisis, war,
and drastic social changes.
2000s
The 2000s are marked by periods of economic and military tension between the Arab countries and the
developed western countries. In 2001 it takes place an attack on two skyscrapers in the United States by
Al-Qaeda, a great Islamist group against the Western system. This attack is possibly the greatest
example of the threat the Islamic states represent to the West. But even in the West there occur serious
internal disputes. After the Cold War, many are still trying to promote the socialist socioeconomic
system and even deploy it in the society. Frequent financial crises in the late 2000s marked an
economic instability.
2010s
2011
In early 2011, there is a series of riots in the Arab world against the dictatorial system of these
countries, after its inhabitants are able to know Western democratic systems. Throughout that year,
these revolts spread by all over the world. In the Arab countries, many revolts succeed and overthrow
national governments, also starting civil wars. A crisis began in Egypt and Tunisia, and from there it
spreads throughout North Africa, Arabian Peninsula, Greece, Spain, Italy, France, United Kingdom,
Germany and many other countries; in October 2011 almost all of Europe is in crisis. Financial crashes
in Asia affect firstly developed nations like Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and then to spread to
countries like China, Russia and India. By the end of 2011, there are marches and protests against
political systems in countries like Australia and Brazil.
2012
In March 2012, after the riots arrive in Sub-Saharan Africa, every country in the world had some kind
of revolt. During 2012, the revolts grow stronger and result in conflicts involving the police and even
the military forces. World economy continues to decline in an impressive way. The conflicts in North
Africa are still going on. It already has military intervention in Europe, USA and Australia. In
December 2012, the global stock drop, causing the so-called Great Crisis or Second Great Depression.
This crisis generates a series of suicides in the world.
2013
In January 2013, the North Africa War finally ends with the victory of popular forces, many corrupt
leaders die.
In Brazil, there is a slight military conflict between citizens who protested against corruption and the
army. That conflict ended up killing about 100 people.
2014
In early 2014 there are many international meetings about the crisis, in February it is proposed to create
a global currency. Western Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, New
Zealand, Israel, Latin America (except Cuba) and sub-Saharan Africa accept the proposal and create a
currency among themselves. But the rest of the world (including the Arab world, Eastern Europe, Cuba,
North Korea and most of Asia) do not accept the proposal. This created a new division of World
countries by the United Nations: the "developed" and the "undeveloped". Developed countries are the
countries that share a common currency, while non-developed countries are those with many different
currencies among themselves. The "undeveloped" countries continue to suffer from the crisis and face
many social problems, as they cut relations with the "developed ones". At the end of 2014, there was a
Christian group in the western United States which proclaimed the independence of 17 western states
after a successful leading Protestant political coalition in the region. They proclaimed the independence
of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New
Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska as one big country
called Western United States; the believed in a new era of peace, development and economic stability
in this new conservative nation. These states have proclaimed their independence in November 2014.
The remaining states do not accept this act, and this gives rise to a civil war.
2015
The American West-East war destroys US economy. The Christian coalition proposes a dictatorial
ideology based on Christianity that is considered "undeveloped" by the UN. The allies of the United
States (the "developed ones") entered the war in July 2015. The countries considered "undeveloped",
the Arab countries and the neo-socialists, united as the "Revolutionary Rebels" declare war on the rest
of the world in October 2015. The following month the "Revolutionary Rebels" joined the "Western
United States", then they start the Third World War. Immediately, some undeveloped nations fall to
those that are developed.
WWIII
The World "Allies" (green) and "Axis" (blue) at 2016.
2016
By 2016 there are conflicts occurring in all continents of the world.
In Americas, Cuba and WUS (Western United States) forces fight against American, Canadian,
Mexican, Brazilian, Argentine and Chilean armies; the Bahamas join the conflict late.
All of North Africa (except Eritrea) is in fight; Axis Islamist nations of the Sahel together with
Ethiopia, Djibouti and the new Gaddafi's Libya are in war with the rest of Merranean and Sub-Saharan
African countries, South Sudan and Somalia; South Africa, Madagascar and Burundi also send troops
to Allies side.
All of Europe (except its micro-states) is in war. Eastern countries that previously formed Soviet Union
build strong pro-Communist armies. However, they are getting weak due to the impressive threat of
Western Europe-Russia ally.
Middle East has the greatest warfare ever. It becomes a true death zone as World War III starts; states
like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Afghanistan are completely hostile against Western nations. This Islamist
coalition becomes even stronger with the join of Central Asian countries like Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan and Turkmenistan (Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan refused to being part of the Islamist coalition,
standing with the Allies as well as Turkey, Syria and Lebanon).
The Far East and South Asia are also impregnated by war, as Mongolia becomes a Communist-
influenced nation along with South Chinese countries. Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and
Singapore also join the Communist coalition.
Only the weakest nations in the World, including small countries in Africa, America and Oceania
positioned as neutral the Third Great War. They received no military threats as the war did not reach
greater levels.
2017
A short intense battle takes place with some female officers of a US Heavy Tank Division taking many
scalps. In desperate fighting, some young men turn into zombie like droids and really go for the jugular
of their enemy but end up surrendering before bare breasted Valkyries and becoming casualties. An
pseudo-elite special forces team from the 2nd Commando Regiment is caught on soviet sattelite
imagery wanking and bumming each other and performing acts of bestiality on goats in a wadi in Syria.
As the images are displayed around the world, the team are pulled from the field and following a
humiliating trial at the Hague, are jailed at Manus island as asylum seekers. Australia is invaded by
New Zealand and the All Blacks take over the parliament and establish total dominant over the now
pathetically sheepish Australians.
The Communist coalition invades the east of Europe making it as far as eastern Greece in 6 months.
Due to this, all of Europe retaliates with a full bombing strike in many Arab countries and especially
Iran. This cause hatred between these combatants and also caused the world to split into four war
fronts. Sub-Sahara Africa vs Northern Africa; Europe vs certain Arab countries; Northern Asia and the
Australias vs certain parts of Oceania. and East US(EUS) and the rest of north and most of the Central
and all of the South Americas vs WUS.Islamist Coalition started attacking the India.With India most
troops went for Allies help it was easy battle for undeveloped ones.India was also divided into two
parts until end of December.One dissolve with Pakistan while other Hindu republic of India.
2018
The world leader of developed world gather in London to decide what to do about Undeveloped ones
progress.General secretary of UN announced that developed countries will nuclear bombard the
undeveloped ones if they don't come to negoatiation.The leader of undeveloped countries called on
developed world leader and a meeting was held to end war.The undeveloped countries agreed on every
demand except two:leaving the capture territory of turkey and India and establishing democratic
states.The leader of China and Russia leave the allies and joins the Axis as they were not favour in the
demands presented by UN. The war started to change in a nuclear war as both sides have equal number
nukes.At November and December the western united states were captured by United states
again.Resistance movement in United states started to become aggressive. Only end to war seem to be
nuclear bombing.All try for peace are failed and European nation started to fall in the hand of Islamist
coalition.The Argentina and Uruguay also join in Axis and start invading its neighbouring Allies
countries.
