Many cards have been stripping away the benefits (like extended warranties) already, and USAA recently eliminated the competitive cashback rate on my most-used card. They’ve also been dividing rewards into ever-more-narrow categories.

Tibalt posted:We're not going to get the housing crash that people are waiting for and we're might not even get the market correction you'd expect. Just add it as one more thing to the pile of 'This economy is weird and the old rules don't apply anymore,' along with the permanent contraction of the workforce keeping unemployment low and increased demands for goods and services slamming into supply chain issues. This was always just wishful thinking mixed with a belief that something that goes up a lot surely must come back down. My former coworkers back in Colorado are still repeating the idiotic line that marijuana legalization is what’s driving housing costs and surely that bubble will burst, when the costs are actually being driven by a pretty large amount of sustainable industrial growth and federal investment.

Isn't Russia the country where its people are described as resoundingly politically apathetic? I don't see how you can claim that Americans are the ones with no comprehension of basic politics, even when you're not comparing them to Russia. Americans are extremely active in their political systems at every level.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Being very active in politics does not at all correlate to having an effective understanding or comprehension of politics, this should be extremely clear by now. That’s just kind of a nonsense-sounding standard that doesn’t seem like it would apply to very many people on earth at all.

I am absolutely in love with the argument that something fishy must be going on because Biden beat Obama with support from The Blacks. I mean, why *wouldn't* they vote with their skin color?

selec posted:I mean, rhetorically this is smart politics. Answer the question you wished they asked, and deny the press any credibility as a watchdog or overseer. Now, to be fair, the press has by and large abrogated that duty on their own say-so, but nobody’s going to complain about a politician being mean to a reporter, the Gianforte Insight. It's unpleasant to see but I really can't argue with giving the press the respect it deserves.

So like, was the 2010 earthquake response also an exercise in dominance?

tbh I kind of had the tenor of this discussion pretty well pegged when I brought up the 2010 earthquake relief and was told that was just another example of imperial domination

So even with the limited employee protections workers in the US have, don't "for cause" firings that don't come with a paper-trail of disciplinary action and coincidentally line up with events like share vesting and retirement create a liability for the company even outside the WARN Act?

Big Slammu posted:I have found open disagreements with superiors in public forums to be career limiting moves in corporate America. Yes this is so obviously and generally such a stupid thing to do that it only makes sense that it happened if the employee engaging in it was already in "IDGAF" mode, which it turns out they were.

Randalor posted:but I can also kind of see the logic behind having one main agent per case rather than having multiple people work on different aspects of a case and potentially overlook more suspicious activity. This is typically described as having a "team lead with resources," not assigning all the work to one person.
