Tanking the Economy for A Huge Profit?

-

The background

September 15, 1916 the first ever tank was used during the battle of Flers-Courcelette in World War One. December 7, 1941 the Japanese military attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor. Millitary attacks tend to go back and fourt, and as expected, 4 years later on August 6, 1945 the United States dropped two bombs on the Japanese city’s of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Shortly after, the United States went on to win their second World War. Both of these wins helped with two major boosts in the United States economy.


The thinking 

A few of these facts got me thinking. First the tanks, then the back and fourth that goes on between militaries, and last, the ease that a country’s economy gets weaker and stronger. This is what got me thinking about the tanking of the United States economy, a financially genius idea. 

The Trip

Recently I had a fantastic vacation to Canada. There were beautiful mountains, I was with my best friends, and I got to whiteness this beautiful earth that we live in. Days were full of fun filled activities like wake-boarding, banana boating, and of course, lots and lots of spikeball. Canada made me realize how great my life is. 
The Airport

I waited in line at Seattle Tacoma International Airport for a very long time, but not the line you think. Not security, not at the gate, but at the currency exchange table. Finally I made it to the front and I exchanged 100 United States dollars for 133.08 Canadian dollars. 


The Idea

After coming back from Canada I was left with a $5 Canadian bill. I had a lot of thought about that trip, a lot about what I said earlier, how great my life is, but even more thinking about how much better I can make it. I believe that money sure as hell can but happiness, and that’s what I strive to do in life... make money. So here’s what you’ve been waiting for, here’s the idea. I will wait for the tanking if the United States economy. That or the rising of the Canadian economy. Currently, roughly 75 cents in the United States is equal to a dollar in Canada. As the Canadian economy grows or the United States economy tanks, that ratio will get closer and closer to being a 1:1 ratio. When that long awaited day arrives I will exchange my $5 Canadian bill for 5 American dollars. After that I will have earned $1.24 in American currency. As military’s continue to go back and fourth, different economy’s will rise and fall, and I will take advantage of that by going back and fourth at the exchange table. Eventually I will invest more and more of my money into this idea just as country’s do in their military. As I continue this idea I hope to one day invest upwards of $100,000 dollars into it, and in return grow that investment by roughly 25%.

Starbucks Takes Advantage of Turtles

-

Today Starbucks announced that they will not be serving straws in their beverages anymore, instead opting for an eco-friendly lid, with a sippy cup style mouthpiece. This change comes as in response to the growing movement to keep plastic trash out of the ocean, and specifically to save sea turtles. Starbucks is full of sh*t. Don’t interpret my take the wrong way, however. I have no qualms with removing the straws from beverages. I’m also sure that it does help in the movement to keep plastic waste out of the oceans. I don’t think that Starbucks really cares that much at all about this movement though. Starbucks sells nearly 3 billion drinks a year. Figure about half of those are iced beverages served with a straw and you have 4.1 million straws served per day. Sourcing straws at $1.59/box of 500 (rate according to www.webstaurantstore.com), Starbucks has just saved themselves $12,700 per day simply at the cost of changing the di used to cut the lids out at the factory...

Power Ranking Cups of Coffee

Some may know that Stockitchen's partners are huge coffee people and I am certainly to be counted amongst those ranks.  Since coffee continues to be a focus for us, I thought I would write a blog power ranking my favorite cups of coffee.  Let's get into it: 5.  Any coffee with some sort of personal name in the blend name. Major Dickason's Blend is my favorite mass-market coffee, from Peet's Coffee. It is a damn good coffee but it has an even better name.  I don't even know who the Major (is he even real) is but he sounds pretty cool so I love to be associated.  Sir Shackleton's Stout is maybe the very best whole bean coffee I have ever purchased.  It is from Moka Joe, a roaster out of Anacortes, Washington. Phenomenal coffee.  The moral of the story is I have never been led astray by a coffee named after a person, real or fictional. 4.  Coffee from a Polish mug. Best mugs out there are made by the Polish and it isn't up for debat...

QUOTE OF THE DAY - 7/6/18

Quote of the Day is a new blog series I am hoping to put out frequently with some of my favorite quotes and lines from movies, TV, literature, music, and other things.  Everybody loves a good quote and I hope to post a mixture of funny and serious quotes with my thoughts as well.  No promises on the frequency. Quote: "Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself." LINK TO SCENE Today's quote is from the movie The Departed, spoken by Dignam, who is played by Mark Wahlberg.  It is an absolutely classic line from one of if not my all time favorite movie.  The movie is chock full of memorable characters, and Dignam is certainly one.  This line sticks in my memory because it defines his character in only six words spoken in retort.  I appreciate the simplicity of his character amidst the incredibly dynamic nature of DiCaprio and Damon's roles.  He is just a guy who comes across as a dick, but has sound morals. Bet you thought I could not go deep with...
