I can tell you this:
Apple TV has a popular show. It makes about four million on views versus ten million on production. Per episode.
For their best.
Thereâ(TM)s no money to promote it.

I used to be such a huge Google fan. My businesses spent tens of thousands a month on Google.
But now, I think I spend $19.99 a month on Google. Maybe. I need to cut that off.
I don't use gmail anymore. I haven't used google search in forever. I am using Chrome right now but need to replace it.
Who uses Google anymore? For anything?

You could fix those records by finding their death date or confuse us into thinking old means collecting. Red and blue alike don't want to pay benefits to dead people. Cut the deception. Prosecute the miscreants and yes publish these facts. Not just "red meat" implying Democrats approve of paying benefits to the dead.

Higher interest rates would be better for the economy long term as folks save instead of borrow.

High interest rates encourage people to save, and savings creates more secure jobs.
Low interest rates cause malinvestments and create false jobs.
Read Mises, Rothbard about the business cycle. Itâ(TM)s all because of low rates and bad investments.

High interest rates = low inflation, jackass.
High interest rates = higher savings rates = eventually you fix the business cycle that inflation and low interest rates causes.

I have no empathy for people who put all their eggs into one basket.
6 months emergency savings in a local bank. Rolling 12 month CD ladder. 401K or IRA in a three fund portfolio. By age 25 anyone making mid-high 5 figures can have a year of income saved, but instead they want tattoos and nice cars and big apartments and every concert memory.
No empathy for slaughtering yourself.

50s here, very high income earner. Never stable income but when it comes, it is big.
I also always saved 10 to 20 percent of my income since my teen years so a firing has no real negative outcome.
My peers and colleagues save poorly to comical effect. When you make six figures you can save five figures and the growth in savings is huge over ten years and twenty years.
I have no tears for my peers and colleagues who refuse to save. Refuse.

Shut it down.
All of this stuff is better handled locally, or state-wide. The bureaucracy of the NHTSA is mind boggling, and the fact that folks look at their headline name but never what they actually do all year long doesn't surprise me.

Comment Discourse (Score 2) 187
Well said.
I would also add: if I have something to say about an an issue, I (try to) directly address the issue, not the person. Even when I find them aggravating. What little power we do have relates to discussion and sharing ideas about the issues at hand, and what charities we do — or don't — thoughtfully engage with.
While many are locked to one side or the other in our highly polarized political climate, some people can be moved by reasoned discussion. I even try to be one of those people. Mostly.
