if ur interested in reading customer reviews their name was Eco Green Machine and theyre based in Florida

they were bad. real bad.

part of my job was calling a customer before they finalized their purchase and I would say, "Hey, I'm Cumshitter, and I've just got to go over this with you. You are agreeing to a lease agreement, and that means you will pay for insurance on your vehicle because we are partial owners. You will pay $X dollars per month for 48 months. Do you understand this?"

and the same woman i did this with called me like two hours later crying because she didnt realize until she nearly swerved into a car on her drive home that the dealership sold her a motorcycle with no rear view mirrors

i felt relaly awful and sent her an email that basically negated all the financing terms and talked my boss into agreeing to it after the fact. it was dumb and i should have been fired for it but i felt like i had to do something to make that woman's day less lovely and by gum i did it

jesus dude, I'm sorry I didn't phrase my leftist shitposting on something awful exactly how you wanted me to, please don't kill the supreme court, thanks!

I'm just saying that if we see the President slip a guy a $20, that's okay to make a snide remark about, but really $100 is the largest denomination in circulation, so I think we shouldn't ping him for that, because it's a perfectly legitimate "Rich Guy Tip". Plus, it adds too much noise to the critique of the President, reducing, IMO, the effectiveness of each individual critique. Instead, I feel like that kind of constant criticism of the most minor thing he does or some bad hygiene or bad hair style sounds more like Right Wing Media, and creates a poor climate for actual effective discourse.

But that's not nearly as fun a way to say it.

there's a "soft" dishonorable discharge (other than honorable) that makes you persona non grata to the military but doesn't lead in deportation

both DD and OTH statuses aren't exactly public though

read more about it, he was unremarkable and just resigned, guess his transformation to shitheel was later

Also, just to drag out this dumb topic a little more, let me inject a little substance into it. The only reason tipping is customary in this nation is because of an incredibly hosed up idea that employers don't have to pay people in the food service industry much, and instead pass that on to consumers. This in turn leads to people being paid vastly different amounts for doing the same job, based solely on how "pleasing" they were to the customers, or if the customer was in a bad mood or not. This is so god drat dumb, and until sensible labor regulations are in place to make these people be paid fairly and equally, it's only right to tip people a lot if you're going to go out to eat.

i get investment advice from my dad which boils down to: invest in a blend of low-fee index funds. bonds are the devil. also, no one has any idea what they're doing.

so my q is: are bonds really the devil?

Bonds are cool for managing cash. Like, after you have enough cash in checking and savings, the extra cash you have on top of that is good to put in bonds/treasuries/tips/etc.

I'm a big proponent of bond ladders, something like a 5 year ladder. You buy bonds that mature in 5 years. Do this every quarter, so every quarter you're got some maturing and retiring to cash. You'll hold ~20 bonds, just make sure it's high in the companies debt structure (senior) and the company has the abilities to pay its debts (like apple or other big dudes/gov with a bunch of cash) and don't get any or many bonds by the samee company/muni. (Diversify)

Depending on situation, you can use cash from matured bonds to buy stock at a discount, supplement income (loss of income) or use it for rebalancing without having to sell equities.

Honestly, your dad has good advice overall, and bond ladders are more useful for people with big bux and high living costs.

Bonds have downsides, like opportunity cost, loss of real value in inflationary times, etc

Effective discourse is dead. The president is a Russian who bangs his hottest kid in the Oval Office each night. Long winded discussions on why he's actually bad do not work, and never will.
