I am 20 page behind on this thread. But somebody was talking about taking public transportation once a month to work. My advise is don't. Get an ebike or electric scooter. It will cost you 1k but its worth it. I have been an ebike rider for 3 years riding 13 mile each way to downtown manhattan. The short story is the bigger city you are in, the more likely you will save time on your ebike/scooter commute because the public transportation options are so bad in US metropolitan. My ebike is broken ATM so I am planning to get an electric scooter as soon as my work require me to go back to work. I am planning to get a $800 Turbowheel Swift. It's got enough suspension/brake/power to most riders. Don't get the $400 Xiaomi. If you want suggestion on ebikes, I would say any ebike with a 48v motor and over 10AH battery is good enough. But stick with companies that have been the business for 5+ years. Like Radpower, Voltbike, or whatever that has service option locally.

Welp, looks like my local credit union is going to collapse this month or the next according to the rumor mill. I wonder which lovely multinational bank will buy my mortgage and find some way to gently caress me?

it almost makes sense too. in aggregate, the rate old people die is pretty drat constant. it's not like RMDs swing wildly year to year. so why would any firm have enough cash on hand to cover claims on 30% of their matured, guaranteed payout products?

Lessail posted:i'm sick of all the "everything changed overnight but our company is here for you" ads but if not the companies, who will stand by us in this hard time? the government? certainly not, they're just maximizing their chances for reelection our neighbors? no way, they are savages who are just waiting for a chance to kill us for our beans look at the selfless corporate delivery drivers tho who risk everything to bring us things from Amazon Dot Com! these are people who can stand by us. but people can fail, people can die, people will always abandon us corporations are forever, and our only hope,,

Telsa Cola posted:This is like from 18 pages back but people should really look at his speech because he literally outlined the course the war would take and the eventual result in a manner that was eerily correct. Granted it wasn't exactly a feat of clairvoyance to say the agricultural south wouldn't hold their own in a war against the far more industrialized north, and Sherman, living there before the war, likely knew how utterly hosed the logistics would be for the south even without the political horseshit that went on between the seceded states. By 1861 it was pretty obvious that slavery was not welcome in Europe and what supply-side embargoes didn't finish, a blockade by the American navy would. Basically the only place that believed the South had any leverage was the South, and it wasn't a question before the war either. The North could absorb way more losses in men and material, they'd (eventually lmao) stop giving out military commands as political favors and start putting competent officers in charge, and ultimately they'd win. Hell, had almost anyone but McClellan been in charge of the American side at the peninsula campaign they probably would have captured Richmond. That's not to discount Uncle Terror Billy, the guy was decades ahead of his time on total war doctrine and his Georgia campaign probably nailed the coffin lid closed on the confederates as much as Grant and Meade's 1863 Victory Week did, if not moreso.
