The whole "trust us we're using safeguards" is the beginning scene of every disaster movie

Clarification..."i could care less ABOUT BANKS since their business model is based on me losing wealth in a financial instrument."

They've been feasting off of an economy that normalized 0.25% interest rates and the moment the federal rate goes up, they all choke on their own greed. I'm middle aged and for the first time I'm about to replace my savings account with a brokerage account after being brainwashed my whole life that I needed a savings account. I could care less if their business model is based on me losing wealth. People used to be able to get good enough rates to retire just using savings accounts.

If this means we live in a world with 4 big heavily regulated banks, then so be it.

The infrastructure needs to be build for the general public first. My private garage is great for a cheap home installation, but they're forcing EVs on people who might live in apartments without charging stations.

They can reverse the distortion if they know enough about the gravity wells

We saw something 13 billion light years away. End of story.

I mean without govt subsidies for electric power

Define "poor looking." Many "poor looking" farmers aren't getting dolled up to make a Home Depot or Tractor Supply run.

I highly doubt it's because they didn't want to work or we'd have seen this happen on all the Christmases and NYE's before.

What I heard was after the airlines laid off tons of employees, they've basically exhausted the OT for remaning employees. Not exactly because of COVID, more like their policy in keeping up profits during COVID.

Tire pressure is an important part of setting up a car. How will you regulate tire temperatures now?

Went to school with tons of people from tiny towns (I'm talking anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand residents) who would love to live back home. Nationwide broadband would revitalize rural America.

I use both, Apple products are designed to lock you into their infrastructure with the sophisticated way all their devices dumb down common tasks. It's really ingenious in the marketing sense. Once you have a couple products, you're hooked and not many people are techie enough to want to burn time learning different systems.

Haven’t you been paying attention? The new thing is paying private industry twice as much to develop the infrastructure and establish a monopoly they can leverage to charge us even more in the future.

This is the right answer. Borrowers are well dissociated from the *real* costs of student loans because of our deferment system. It sounds grand at first, but it's hard for a family who might be sending their first child to college on loans to understand what $50K in debt on a $50K entry level salary really means (and heaven forbid your child drop out after a couple years. Never mind those going into masters or doctorate programs).

It all seems "obvious" if you and your family have experienced this before, but I assure this is not the case for a lot of borrowers.

No one denies the power of the Faux News/Russia propaganda machine. And, like clockwork when shit implodes on them like the Trump administration they start up with the "both sides" narrative.

I'm curious what talking points the Iranians generated to make Biden more popular. Biden's win was driven the same way as Obama's; Americans watching a moron fumbling about in office.
