And for some reason attrition is never an option.

It's true. I bought my first iphone for $200 and now you're around $1000. My new 600 was $8000k OTD and now it's about $11,000+. My 93 Ford ranger new was $10k MSRP, and now..... $40k+. Fuel <$1/gallon now about $3.50/gallon. Population grows, inmate population grows with it. When I was a little kid, my hometown population was less than 40k, now it's rising to 90k and with the university, a basically semi resort town population where it grows and shrinks by the thousands constantly, every day.

Nothing is getting cheaper or smaller, not even cellphones anymore lol.

Bologna! I used to buy new phones for a few hundred, now I buy better phones that are like new for $150. I used to buy new computers for a grand, now I buy better computers for a quarter of that.

Head Cheese! I paid $199 for my AT&T iphone 3S which was the best one available at the time and AT&T sells iphone XS Max with the smallest storage for $1099. "Better" is a loaded term. My work shoes were better when I bought them new 9 months ago compared to how they are now.

I mean better in every way, performs better than the last thing and is cheaper than the last thing. All I did was develop a little skill at buying used. That's kind of what attrition is about, changing your thinking a little bit, because it was your thinking that got you where you're at and apparently it's not working, so in order to do something different, you might actually have to do something a little different.

Yeah, that's mostly true naturally. Mostly. Depends on what though. I just know many folks will pay more for older made in America/Japan over currently most advanced made in China.
 
For sure and it's obviously hard-to-impossible to do at the individual level in an environment that's so heavily structured and regulated, but the point is, nobody anywhere in the chain even tries. The problem is never my spending decisions, it's always that someone else needs to give me more money and I'll just stop doing the thing correctly if you don't cough it up. I hate that unresourceful robot brained nonsense.

It's the system man, the system. It's the same for basically all government and military. If you got $2,000,000 last year but only spent $1,900,000 because of smart budgeting....then this year you'll only get $1,800,000 and told to make that stretch too since you were so good at it last year. Cutting your own throat, if you get it, once you get it, spend it all as fast as possible.
 
Flying a drone right under the FBI's nose and they didn't shoot it down, surprisingly tolerant dept.
Seems a couple of months late with this step of the investigation.
 
Odd looking compound with those small square huts out back.
Location though looks awesome. Nice to be rich.
 
Oh yeah I know there were shenanigans taking place in each of those huts. Does that add to the resale value of the property.
Don't suppose some ruthless real estate agent will try to market those historical factoids.
