It would be nice to have the option to prepay to some degree. Even with insurance over half of her bill was just copays for all the visits.

I wonder what else he did to end up charged with crimes instead of just fired? One of those bullets must have gone through a kids bedroom or something, or the call was to a close friend of an official.

No one cares about genocide. At least not in significant numbers.

Three felonies a day is 15 years old and only more true than ever.

The real power of the NRA is their membership is mostly reliable voters.

Less than you would think, but it also depends on how you contact them. A physical call is way more powerful than an email. 10 people passionate enough to call can easily translate to 1k people passionate enough to vote about it.

That advice seems like a red flag. There are way more options to diversify investments in an IRA than a 401k, you can also invest in the same funds through an IRA that are available to your 401k. Either way you end up paying fees to someone as well.

To MMT the printing of money is only inflationary when a country doesn’t have additional productivity. Thanks to digital products and services though l, production is nearly infinite. Others argue that all printing of money is inflationary.

The Fed only really has interest rates as a tool, so they raise it when inflation goes up. It can fight inflation by slowing lending, which thanks to fractional reserve banking is the primary source of money being printed/created.

Yep. I just always put money in my 401k, I don’t know what a paycheck without 15% going to retirement looks like. I’ve still got at least 30 years to go.

Get a cheap disposable one. If you really don’t use it often the cost of an unused reusable thing is greater than buying disposable.

And that’s still the lowest it’s been since 2021.

That’s what happens with massive inflation, more and more people get made poor as income can’t match the rising costs. Once inflation cools to the point cash from month 1 is about the same as cash from month 2, people have a chance to get out of poverty.

MMT argues that government printing money isn’t inflationary, and inflation can be controlled with taxes. Argentina had massive inflation while spending and taking on debt, and magically it’s gone down as measures to stop that spending were implemented.

This is terrifying news for the MMT crowd though as it’s pretty good proof their theory is bullshit.

Inflation was 200% last December, poverty would be 100% without drastic action.

I don’t understand the love for white devices. Thanks to everyone paying a premium price for an inferior color.

Maybe the had to barter the medals for a smart phone.

The market is people wanting a vacation experience of being on a train.

Seven hours is still way worse than flying though.

You can do new York to San Francisco, LA is overrated anyway.
