“Can you float Bobby?” -Clarence

Org: “It’s Over”

Soldier: “It’s? Over”

Okay, so slowly shrink it down to non-existence? Why does that remind me of high school?

But this was the designated “Boot licker of the week” spot!

They have to go in 3’s because cartoons tell me they can stack up. They would wear a brown trench coat with shades. Then they can climb the ladder.

As of recent estimates, Homeowners Associations (HOAs) in the U.S.) generate approximately $100 billion to $110 billion in annual revenue.

Here’s a breakdown of the numbers: • Number of HOAs: Over 360,000 across the U.S. • Households governed by HOAs: ~75–80 million people, or about 27–30% of the U.S. population. • Average annual HOA fees: Typically range from $200 to $400 per month per household, though this can vary widely depending on region and amenities.

Calculation (rough estimate): • Assume 40 million households in HOAs. • Average fee: $300/month × 12 months = $3,600/year • $3,600 × 40 million = $144 billion/year potential revenue

But not all of that is counted as formal “revenue” due to reserves, unpaid dues, or variable costs. So economists and industry sources usually estimate actual annual revenues around $100–110 billion.

Sources: • Community Associations Institute (CAI) • U.S. Census Bureau housing data • Industry reports on property management and community associations

Second estimate versus first (initial): On average, there was a −16,000 jobs/month revision in 2024 (seasonally adjusted).

Third estimate versus second: An additional average revision of −5,000 jobs/month.

Total average downward revision (first to third): roughly −20,000 jobs/month for 2024.

The annual benchmark revision (released August 2024) adjusted aggregate employment for the 12‑month period April 2023 to March 2024 downward by approximately 818,000 jobs, equivalent to about −68,000 jobs/month compared to the initial published series

These differences reflect typical sampling error corrections, but the −818,000 benchmark revision was significantly larger than usual

The revised job-growth figures during the Biden administration show approximately 818,000 fewer jobs were added between April 2023 and March 2024 than previously reported.

Revisions happen standard procedures. Last administration had similar revisions. Nothing new.

I recall a time before the internet. Only way you would know about world events is the newspaper or news broadcast. Those were simpler times.

Each individual has a choice that is theirs alone. If you want to personally protest a college, restaurant or event then have at it. Just don’t expect them to fail because you don’t support them. In life everyone is fighting to exist and that goes for institutions as well.

Oh, so Pizza was a metaphor for the chronic. Master Spliff(splinter) and Grinder (Shredder).
