@stevehill1mil Every 30 seconds is to obsessive. I think every 35 seconds is much more reasonable.

@antibearthesis That's their lunch they just lost!

@SteveOnSpeed People go into debt for degrees without having a clear plan what they are going to do with it and why they need it to do what they want to do.

@JimChuong It's our dollar or our housing market.

@b_co_co Honestly that's pretty good. Pretty much everywhere not the US had that number in the double digits over a decade ago.

@RupertLowe10 The threshold for the death penalty should be lower than that and with a higher standard applied against non citizens. Criminals will try to self deport when they know they are prevented from doing so.

@APompliano Since everyone is living longer, I guess this must be the new way natural selection works.

@BoomerDivvies Dividends don't matter, total return from the investment is what matters. Dividends just mean someone else is cashing out your shares for you.

@b_co_co Yep. It's hard to predict the expectations, you never know what or who is driving it.

I haven't heard any big news, but the market is tanking. Just generic fear of things being overpriced or high oil prices kicking in or are investors holding for the big IPOs?

@RoaringHammy Was this 20 years ago?

Average age increasing and technology (response times, effectiveness of life saving treatment). Dropping that much from the 1980s is a weak benchmark and should barely been considered an achievement. East Asia, regardless of communist or capitalist, seen their homicide rates drop like 80-90% riding similar average age increases and technology growth factors.

@stockmom Good for getting.some discounts, just wish it wasn't the ones I'm already holding 😅

@SatuNakamoto I just saw that news. I guess the market isn't fully desensitized from that yet, but I am though lol.

@MichaelAArouet Building ghost towns that provide excess housing and still have potential unused value, even if not maintained, is still far better than using debt to build degenerate DEI integration into systems that actively erodes value over time.

@TedPillows That's enough room to fit one SpaceX.

@SteveOnSpeed Most of my friends are the opposite political affiliation from me, but that's because I grew up in the city in Canada. But all my friends from later in life who are all immigrants when adults have the same political affiliation as me.

I'm not a big fan of using salary as a benchmark of where your net worth should be. Income can vary a lot. Many people get that big career breakthrough later in life and haven't had the time to build up earlier. The opposite is true where someone could have built a massive nest egg earlier but decided they prefer some balance in life accepting lower salary. And the most important part is that low salary is not an excuse for low net worth. You need to work even harder to find ways get that number up.

@TheSecretAcct I have so many people's fate in my hands.
