I'm thinking that because lots of voters never see any change for the better they just ignore the whole thing. Unfortunately that leaves lots of room for things to change for the worse, which they often do.
Might also explain why the perceived lack…
Well, let's not be too hard on Mr. Templeton. After all, "thoughts and prayers" are regarded in some circles as more than adequate to compensate for loss of life caused by lack of concern for public safety.
@Derf- I've occasionally gotten that particular message, but only at night when Schwab is making a major update to their data. If you're still getting that message something's wrong, and I'd suggest giving them a phone call.
First Republic, Part 2:
The other option is “do nothing.” First Republic reported earnings on Monday, and they were legendarily awful:
Across the industry, First Republic’s quarterly earnings report on Monday has come to be regarded as a disaster. …
Depends on your definition of "problem". For many months I've noticed that it frequently takes two attempts to successfully log in. This seemed to start around the time that the Fed started it's rate increases, and things started to come a bit "iffy…
Oh yes, the Bynars- they sure put together one hell of a holodeck program for Riker... what was her name... something like Minuete, as I recall. Jean-Luc Picard took quite a liking to her also.
Been following the First Republic situation closely, a…
I'd place a small wager that the remarks made by China's ambassador to France actually reflect the "not for public release" position of the Chinese government.
"Getting 33 ALL working together and have nothing fail... good luck with that"
@gman57- I'm thinking exactly the same thing.
"I have to wonder if he's conferring with that stable genius about what might have gone wrong."
@Mark- I sure hope not. …
Oh, I dunno about that... lots and lots of launch pads got blown up in the early days of rocketry. I'm not a Musk fan by any means, but he deserves some slack on his rocket research.
"Certainly adds new meaning to his post a few days before the heist: “Precious metals are breaking out …”
You guys know that I never use "LOL"... well, LOL !!! :) :) :)
1) 7400 oz
2) 462.5 lbs
3) Less
4) 210.23 kg
And the price of gold is approximately $70,399.09 per kg, or 63,999.017 Euros, at today's exchange rate.
More importantly, and certainly of greater interest: Where was @rono when this went down ???
Hey there @Junkster- I have no problems with your type of Republican. Back in the day your guys in Congress could sit down with our guys over a bottle of some decent bourbon and settle a compromise most could live with. Now even the word "compromis…
That's probably fairly accurate, but of course part of that whole fiasco was the fact that Boeing claimed that additional training was unnecessary, and made that a selling point.
I can appreciate both sides of your arguments, but it seems to me that both of you are describing options available to people who should be well acquainted with the concept of individual net worth, and are making decisions within that framework.
Ma…
Lewis, we all know that the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio is absurd. That doesn't make Mark's information any less factual. Perhaps if more Americans knew their net worth and compared it to that of CEOs and "celebrities" there might be more conce…
"Doesn’t he live a gifted life? As a public servant, he does not disclose those luxury trips paid by someone else."
@Sven- Well see, the problem is that you unfairly claim that he's a "public servant". Since he's actually a "Republican far-right se…
"I’m afraid some of us wouldn’t appear much better in the public eye if held under a 24-hour magnifying glass."
If you picked the wrong 24 minutes I wouldn't look so hot.
I agree with @hank, actually. I'm keeping a good chunk of unalloted cash over at Schwab's SWKXX, which is a tmoney-market fund based on tax-free California short-term paper, so depending on the packaging, bond funds can be useful.
By the way, I did…
NPR: The AR-15 style rifle used in the Louisville shooting was bought legally
From a different perspective: Those in favor of allowing anyone and everyone to possess AR-15 or equivalent type assault weapons argue that it's a good idea because it al…
Without any speculation as to what might be driving this murderous escalation, at the very least it would seem reasonable to remove personal assault weapons from the general population.
I suspect that a complex interaction of many elements is causi…
