  • Maybe instead of meaningless platitudes actual change would be in order.

  • I have nothing against people investing, it's just not accurate to think the average person can invest and get somewhere with it, back in the 70s or earlier Warren Buffett said you needed to have around $300,000 invested to make any kind of reasonable gain, adjusting for inflation $300k in 1970 dollars is $2.5 million. When you're below that threshold your not really getting returns you can do something with. It's fine to invest less, it's fine to invest aggressively even if you are poor, just don't look at people with less than $2.5mil like their dumb for not investing more. It doesn't work that way.

  • Many are leaving teaching all together, it's a huge problem that's going to have far reaching consequences for a lot more than 4 years. While they might not all leave the US, they are no longer teaching or practicing medicine in hostile states, Idaho has been forced to shut down hospitals and medical services.

    Here in rural CA we're also seeing medical access dwindle. A lot of things people don't realize have changed are very drastic, being older I remember not even needing to think about buying produce and inspection it for bugs or rotting. Now, you have to check, and if you aren't washing everything before you put it away from the store you are getting bugs. It's gonna happen reliably, many services and newly built things seem shotty and badly done. We have been running out of competency for some time now, and if you've been alive long enough were clearly in decline.

  • You can pretty much go anywhere in Latin America and a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed, as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants, they will work with many people who wish to immigrate rather than combat them. Stay far far away from Australia, or NZ, they are generally hostile to immigrants, and if you're really unlucky they might strand you on an island and never let you back off. I've really not looked seriously at Africa, it's an interesting prospect, but anyway, it's hard to immigrate, but it's possible and a lot of people enjoy the changes.

  • We were millimeters away from freedom.

  • They should have never made it this far. obviously a fully corrupt and for sale president is ideal for a lot of powerful people.

  • He has a lot more on common with Trump than I ever will.

  • This isn't an escalation, he said this and worse while running.

  • It's already happened in Florida and Idaho at least, Idaho lost a huge amount of medical professionals thanks to RvW and state passed open ended and vague laws. Florida lost just about all their teachers DeSantis is stuffing schools with sycophants with little to no education and no teaching credentials. We're already losing.

  • No, the problem is that 20% growth of $2000 gives you a gain of $400. 20% growth of $10,000 gives you a gain of $2000. An average Americans entire yearly income is $70,000, it's 20% growth is $14,000.

    Edit: this is all in terms of a full year of investing.

    But 20% isn't happening every year, you are more likely to average 10%. Some years can be single digit, some can be negative, the point is this, you must begin with a very large amount of money to get real money out of the stock market. Even solidly middle class incomes aren't going to be able to save up a years worth pay in only a few years, it would take many years, often enough to ensure the money will never be realized by anyone but by your children or grand children

  • You also need a ton of money to invest or you're just getting pocket change.

  • DS9 just threw the whole concept of a utopia out all together. With some pretty great results, so I'm OK with it.

  • I called it! I said they'd try and do a reverse class action lawsuit and sue people for not buying his cars.

  • What did people do to get Frankenstein's monster out of that tower in the old movies? It's on it tip of my tongue...

  • Ask him to help me with my look. Villains always have the best fashion sense.

  • Ha ha just like the tea pot dome scandal, and that bribe to a senator about mining in Teddy Roosevelt's head.

  • Now he'll be scrambling through the trash cans of heaven, screeching with joy.

  • They'll be lining up to be air traffic controllers!! All the MIT genius. Get them.
