That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
Nope, no CD adds. I got high yield savings accounts Internet type banks. Guess I have location tuned off right now. Maybe I'll turn it on and try to get a local CD summary.
On topic - I have my husband's rollover in a Target 2015 and it has gotten …
Around here they always use the same Italian restaurant. I don't like the food at that particular restaurant. Easy decision.
Seriously, if you cannot control your behavior in the presence of sales pushes or dishonesty, you should avoid invites in r…
The more people get their daily sustenance from restaurants, the worse the food becomes. It is at the point where we prefer our own cooking and go out just to get out of the house.
Does limiting the incentive disincentivize collection of the limit? I would think - only if the "limit" resulted in a set kickback that was independent on the source. (Make all sources equally lucrative to the broker.) Otherwise all a limit does is …
Well, maybe not. Maybe this game is to make a "proposal" then "listen" to the real Americans, call new tariffs off, and declare Trump stopped the Obama trade tariffs on the "red" states before they destroyed the American worker.
I need to be taught How To Lose A Lot Of Money In The Stock Market? Let's see, first you start with "a lot of money"....
Yes, Hi, MJG, good to read you.
What I really hate about "he done it too" is that it misses the point that no one, no way should do it. So we argue about the who instead of the what. Sometimes something is wrong no matter who does it. And the bad "what" remains, perhaps gets worse…
No but I'm hoping the market goes down just a bit a lot more before he announces a subsidy of tax dollars/additional tax breaks for any sector that feels affected and the market (with my new investment dollars) goes shooting up again.
I guess I wonder the following - if this is true (is it?) then why aren't we trying to claw back as much "American" wealth as possible from these people without a country?
It just dawned on me that if this was an issue and gerrymandering by anyone was abhorrent to the general population it wouldn't have survived, much less gotten worse. What is a good test of gerrymandering? State houses with majority numbers that ove…
Once again we have an issue where "they do it too" seems to be the winning argument. As a 20 year MD resident I, a bleeding heart liberal, can confirm massive gerrymandering in the state. (I lived in district 1 the only district solidly Republican a…
What keeps running through my mind is that the market, with all the extra slush and perceived future slush, has reset it's baseline on value. I am picturing a sort of forward leading inflation that will lead to domestic inflation corrections. People…
@hank What's the problem? You just use other people's money. Maybe Russia will float the US a loan. Or, maybe Mexico will provide the funding and charge us to use the roads, rockets, walls, and military. (I'm not sure there is enough SS and Medicare…
I don't know. I live in a legal state and, even near the University, the strip mall weed shops seem to have very low volume traffic. I confess this confuses me and makes me wonder if, somehow, part of the allure is illegality.
Have a Merry, Merry Christmas, Ted. In a way, you are a MFO Santa bringing us a bag of gifts to sort through and play with every day. Thanks for a year full of goodies.
@Edmond You have it backwards. A girl of "low social value" (deserves a third LOL) is more apt to be abused since the abuser sees no loss to himself. People should learn the character of the crime before mouthing off. You don't abuse something you r…
@Edmond - "Pelosi and the Gyneocracy think that waging a war on men is a way to win elections. "
LOL - Did they get through eating your, ummm, "Christmas"? Maybe it will grow back.
People need to remember that AI is best at doing two things - robotics and discovery. Both are done at the behest of and to the benefit of their owners. It is the discovery part that humans use to make innovations and is the part people fear the rob…
@Old_Joe Who knows, it might be some sort of strategy. People get scared of one bill and are relieved when the other wins the most points, forgetting they didn't like either to begin with. I've never been good at politics and may just miss the point.
