But we won't spend any money on it, because that money could be a tax cut.

Anyone have any good or bad car/home insurance companies? I noticed my insurance has gone up like 30% over the last year and I haven't filed a claim since 2015, so it's not for any reason on my end. Looking to make a switch and see if I can get better prices. I'm on American Family right now, which covers my home and car, so I'd probably switch both if I made the switch.

Auto insurance is like the boiling frog theory: they'll keep raising rates until you switch, then at the next renewal, their rates will be cheap again (because now you'd be a new customer).

NY has a unique thing where if he wants to appeal he has to put up the value of the judgement plus 10% as bond, so he either needs to find someone to loan him that money, or he has to put it up himself. Either way, he's likely taking a financial hit immediately.

He's also prohibited from taking a loan from anyone registered in New York State (which is like all of them), so only like Putin or the Saudis would be able to front him that kind of cash.

I expect he can get secured loans, and he treats his campaign funds like a personal piggy bank too. But yeah dude is probably on the edge of broke now because he isn't and never was a multi-billionaire.

The RNC is down to about $8 million (not counting unpaid debts). 2023 was the worst year for Republican fundraising in a decade. I can't imagine Trump's PACs are any better off, and this will crush downballot races.

In political news, SCOTUS granted cert to Donald Trumps quest for presidential immunity—presumably to smack it down and restore a bit of sanity lol jk Trump declared god emperor 6-3 also it only applies to this ruling

The whole point of this is to delay long enough for the election to occur. Either Trump will win the election, then order his own DOJ to drop all the charges, or he'll lose the election, and die poor and potentially in prison. Nothing will happen before one of those two outcomes occur.

It's kind of the American way to make the entire country Trump's jury pool.

I mean it was 9-0. At best that means the Libs weren't willing to make it even look like it was a politicized decision.

It's really the only possible outcome. Letting states decide who can stand and can't stand for a federal election is gonna be a problem on both sides of the political aisle.

The financing rate the dealer offers you is typically 2x what the bank they’re talking to would have loaned you. The dealership gets a check from the bank for the extra interest they saddled the consumer with.

Note that this can work out to your advantage if you get them to lower the sales price in anticipation of the bank kickback. Just read the paperwork to make sure there's no early repayment penalty on their loan.

It was always obvious to a lot of us (especially the types on SA) but it’s really funny to see the system very publicly show how allergic it is to punishing rich white men.

Just infinite second chances that no one else would ever get.

It also tells us that the fine will get reduced to $175 million by that same appeals court.

Like, you need some cash for emergencies, but who is saying it's better to have loads of cash and carry debt? That's not right.

Depends on the debt. My auto loan from 2020 is at 2.7% APR, so although I could pay it off and eliminate that debt, I make more keeping that money invested instead.

None of that applies to ridiculous 14% APR loans though.

The OJ trial I felt was the first time that the 24/7 news stations had to actively fill time. They had so many people watching and so little new information that they went overboard with minutae and "expert opinions" just to fill time. The quality went way downhill (how could it not?) but I feel like that was the point where news stations stopped caring about news and focused just on viewership.
