When I talk to a cult member I always repeat what their leader said: Trump said on video: "smart people don't like me". If they don't understand what that means, they won't understand a logical argument.
I know why I don't' spend it down. I live comfortably and do mostly what I want but LTC for 2 people can go through a sizable nest egg pretty damn fast. Two in LTC could be $200k+/year!!
We should have done what Brazil did to their butthead. The problem was about 50% of the people voted for slimeball which caused hesitation and now we're paying the price.
I hope self driving cars improve to a point I can get in and say take me to X and it does... what a benefit to older drivers who should no longer drive.
Yeah, thinking the same thing. The delayed data from a week or so ago, was that ever released? We live in such a fast paced news cycle I can't even remember what it was but thought to myself, ut oh, delaying means someone's messing with the number…
True, true but even though it may go into sleep or hibernation I'd imagine there are always a few read/writes happening from time to time in/out of ssd memory or it wouldn't know to wake, auto update etc...
I always used HDD. Several years ago I changed everything to SSD other than my 1TB HDD for backups. My laptop recently started spewing SSD messages that it may be failing. I never knew SSD has limited use, apparently there are only so many read/wri…
$$$$ it's always about $$$ -- Nexstar wants a merger approval so they have to kiss T's ass to get it. They started this stink by saying they won't carry ABC on their stations. Paramount did the same thing to Colbert to get their merger approved. …
He's was just like Limbaugh, Murdoch and the rest, saw a way to make money by selling hate. Sad anyone loses their life over it but overall better for the USA.
Broncos, then Brady/Patriots for a long while and Brady/Tampa. I even rooted for Brady when playing the Broncos. My friends gave me a lot of noise for that. He was amazing, 10 super bowls in 23 years, that's crazy. He was so accurate passing. …
"In July, Charlie Kirk called for the full release of the Epstein files and criticized the DOJ and FBI’s lack of transparency."
Hmmmm, now he's dead.
I don't remember this much hate flowing around before Trump. If the shoe fits...
I lost my faith after Newtown, if a massacre of TWENTY 6-7 year old's and 6 adults did NOTHING to change our outlook on sensible gun safety I'm afraid nothing will.
I believe this is more of a possibility, the earth is 4.5 Billion years old. How about another civilization existing here on earth say 30 or even 100 MILLION years ago. There would be nothing left of them for us to find. We've only existed a fracti…
With the millions and millions of phones and cameras around the world today the only thing we ever capture are gray fuzzy blurred pictures of UFO's. We broadcast as loud as we can, "WE'RE HERE CAN YOU HEAR US?" Not one peep back, those aliens are …
CLO -- take all the crappiest loans you can find, throw them in a bag and package them up in a pretty bow. Pay the rating agencies to label them AA and sell them to the public. What could go wrong? Weren't 2008 problems based on CLO packages of su…
Unfortunately, I see a Kent State type disaster on the horizon. Will that make the do nothing congress do something? Chicago has 2.7million people to DC's 700k, BIG difference.
They want onshoring of factories/jobs but that means higher prices for products produced here due to cost of labor. Automation is probably the only way to keep prices down to compete globally. Until they find a way to really raise average American …
crash: when you remove money from your t-ira, how do you calculate the amount to remove such that you don't land yourself in a new worse tax bracket given that your totals for the year aren't known until year's end, if that makes any sense? thanks!…
The time from retirement to ss should be the time to convert as much as possible staying in the desired tax bracket IMHO. I took my ss at 63 and it would have been nice not to take it until later because ss income limits your conversions. Looking b…
People say it's rare BUT .. every downturn I've seen over the last 30-40 years BOTH bonds and stocks go down at the same time. Yes, bonds go down less than stocks but both go in the same direction up or down.
