That’s probably a better way to put it yeah.
And as fucked as it is, it is a fact that this does hold value and is backed by it.
It’s just a pretty shit thing to be backed by ethically.
But nonetheless, there is value in bitcoin, it’s just best we don’t encourage further investment in such a thing.
Bitcoin is backed by the price of coal.
For all intents and purposes, bitcoin is effectively minted coal.
So who is doing the deporting? Why aren’t we constantly naming names of who is doing the deporting here?
Which agency? What group? Who?
If we keep the offenders who are violating orders anonymous, then they can easier get away with shit.
If you just wrote “U.S. immigration authorities” you are a bad journalist. Get very fucking specific please.
Which authorities, of what agency, in what city
For those not aware:
This is the sector that handles nuclear fissile materials including the warhead stockpiles and the nuclear reactors
Don’t go on Twitter… that actively funds musk.
Go everywhere but Twitter.
Do keep calling it Twitter though.
The leasing non-disease causes for death in women are:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5683079/
And thats ignoring, of course, all the actual leading causes of death which are various diseases, primarily heart diseases of course, and COVID.
Mind you that still does indicate that home is where most people die, but it’s not homicide you should be worried about.
It’s your stairs and… garden, I guess? I have no idea why unintentional poisoning is so high, does food poisoning count? It must. (Edit: drug overdoses, whoops)
So I guess what ladies should really be wary of is their stairs, ladders, and those leftovers that you’re not sure about from the weekend.
Just as an example, for every 1 homicide victims in women aged 20-39, there were (in the same group):
And among women aged 70+ years, there were no homicides in the data, but over 60% of injury related deaths were caused by falling. Just… Falling. Not homicide, just “mum had a fall yesterday and had to see the doctor”
I suppose that really drives home how important building codes are and stuff like life alert, for old folks…
If you account for the actual leading causes of death though, where you really outta be wary of are fast food chains, public transit, and low ventilation workspaces with sneezy coworkers. That’s what’ll actually be most likely to kill you…
I guess with skip the dishes being a thing though, that’s still home being the most “dangerous” place anyways, /shrug
I’d recommend you actually read the very article and explicitly try and look for a genuine quote where an individual explicitly is quoted as saying Biden should drop out.
Note how everytime it’s a generalized paraphrase at not an actual quote.
And interestingly enough all the actual quotes are more along the lines of “He should be doing x”, or etc.
And even more so many articles capstone at the end with “when asked they re-affirmed support for biden”
The articles wiggle word their way just enough to subtly imply someone is saying he should drop, yet they can’t manage to find a single actual concrete quote of anyone actually saying it, which shouldn’t be that hard to do.
That should be a red flag for you that the article is being purposefully vague on purpose.
Stop falling for the bullshit. Actually read what the article says and look at the quotes, note the dissonance between the quotes and the paraphrasing…
This is fundamentally the standard “people are saying…” classic propoganda engine that trump literally used for over 4 years straight.
Step 1: Trump and/or his team talks about <thing> without any basis, just remarking on it Step 2: News cycles pick it up and remark about Trump remarking on it Step 3: Trump now re-iterates the talking point but this time saying its in the news Step 4: The news once again re-iterates it
At this point its so obfuscated in layers its hard to pick up the original source being “Trump just bullshitting about nothing” and then it becomes news
It’s such a tired and classic play its insane that people somehow eight years later are still falling for it.
Biden did a fucking press conference very clearly stating he is running, I don’t know how the fuck he can be more explicit that this isnt up for discussion, it’s happening, stop fucking spreading some form of implication it isnt. He so very clearly is who the democrats are pushing forward, everything else is propaganda bullshit to make people second guess.
if
He is running, thats just a fact. He did a press conference to make it abundantly clear he is very much running and has zero intention to not run.
This whole “should he run? will he? if he will run. What will he decide” shit is propaganda fundamentally.
Stop falling for it, and stop spreading it.
The fuck is this headline, “time is running short for him to decide”
He literally held a press conference stating abundantly clearly he has zero plans to drop.
Why is the press trying so hard to push this narrative that he is anything less than 100% running?
Propaganda engine trying to sew seeds of distrust. The dudes very clearly running, headlines like this are so fucking slimey.
CDN != Library, smh
It sounds like you need to rethink your grocery habits, or your job is woefully underpaying you, or you need to move somewhere with a non-insane cost of living.
Do you live far up north or something where groceries cost an arm and a leg due to transport costs?
Doesn’t even need to be middle of nowhere. Just needs to be ~30 minute drive away from city core. Cheaper suburbs are still very much affordable in every city I have seen.
Sometimes you gotta go out to that 20-30 min away “next nearest” smaller town that’s right next to the big city but isn’t actually in it. It has all your amenities and plenty to live off of, but if you wanna go to the big city’s malls, theaters, concerts, etc, you gotta drive 30 min instead of walk there.
Usually you can get very decent starter homes for 250k to 300k in said places, and usually in said “one off” towns the renting industry is much more slow, so you don’t have that “you have to buy NOW” pressure. Homes stay up for sale for a bit and you have more than 3 hours to make an offer lol.
Downside is now you need a car… though often even then the smaller towns have some form of public transport to the bigger city you can use, though it can be on a rarer schedule. IE your bus may only come every 2 hours so better not miss it.
I prefer “edge of the city suburbs” over “one town over” personally. Access to public transport means I skipped buying and paying for a vehicle and skipped straight to saving up for a house.
If you use budgeting software and truly can’t find any highlighted costs you can actually cut, and despite that can’t afford to save money, then you have my sympathy, that sounds shitty and challenging.
My point is and continues to be if you complain about cost of living but you don’t use freely available budgeting tools, I won’t sympathize with you (yet), because every grown adult should just be doing that. It’s a basic part of life and being an adult that people just don’t bother doing.
Itd be the equivalent of someone complaining their car doesn’t work but then admitting they’ve never checked their oil.
If you talk to any financial advisor, having a budget system is always step 1, so if a person hasnt dine that yet, their complaints just sound like whining to me as the person hasn’t even done the absolute bare minimum step 1 yet to try and address or even understand the problem.
I assume such a person doesn’t want to put any work in to get out of the hole they dug themselves into.
IF they do have a budget and their costs simply are just that bad, and they’ve already cut every single cost they can, then they have my sympathy as that means they actually are trying.
But unfortunately, after working with a LOT of people in various industries who complain about these issues, it has become abundantly clear that most people just want to complain and not actually do anything about it, and just keep wasting money.
I don’t know your situation, but I’ve worked with so many people and so so so few of them even could hold a convo about budgeting, let alone talk about what tool(s) they use and tracking solutions they leverage.
So I now, after many many years of seeing how awful everyone seems to be at budgeting, just assume the average person is completely incompetent when it comes to managing money as the default.
For every 1 person I meet who has preferred budgeting tools, I have met dozens and dozens that couldn’t even explain what a tax bracket actually means or is.
So I just assume the average person is at that level for finances. No hate, it’s just facts that most people just… don’t know or care to know how money works, they have other priorities in life, like family and their jobs and hobbies, /shrug
That sucks mate, the US Healthcare system is fucked.
$700/month in savings is very solid though, and that’s after paying off existing loans as part of our budget.
During the year abd a half we saved, we only ate out a couple times total? Our anniversary and Christmas. Maybe on my birthday too IIRC.
So yes indeed, while saving money you diont waste it on frivolous stuff like eating out, that is 100% correct and very normal.
You sound salty. What budgeting software do you use, out of curiosity? I find without auto import support for my transactions and debt tracking, it felt way more challenging to get my finances in lime to save up.
I swapped to Mint at the time (though it’s shutting down now RIP) and having that ability to see every penny we were spending lined up really helped a lot in terms of tightening the budget up to improve our ability to save.
We squeezed another $300/month out of our budget, pushing us up from $400/month to $700/month and that effectively halved our time to hit out goal.
There’s just so much random shit people seriously don’t think about as expenses adding up. My quick energy drink I’d often grab with a snack in the morning otw to work barely registered on my radar, but it was $5 or whatever a day, 3-4 days a week, which adds up to nearly 90 bucks monthly.
Just ordering a bulk box of energy drinks instead and remembering to grab it otw out the door was saving me like $50 a month.
If you don’t have specific budgeting tools installed and actively used, you don’t really have a leg to stand on (yet) when complaining about cost of living.
Go start there, run the numbers and import your last couple months transactions, and if you truly can’t see a few hundred bucks a month you can squeeze than I can sympathize with ya.
Comparing median house price to median income is an instant “doesn’t know how housing economy works” flag.
Those properties are all a fair bit on the large side as well, and are in extremely good quality.
The first link is a smaller home but on a large property and literally dead center of Portland on highly valuable land, so that’s an instant cherry pick.
The second is absolutely a mcmansion at 3000sqft, well over double the size of a starter home which usually ranges in the ~1500 range. Substantially more than anyone needs as a starter. It’s in the suburbs but a quick glance shows you basically everyone has RVs and boats parked on their properties. The house is incredibly good condition and looks newly fully renovated. Several tiers above a starter home by a large margin, it’s bizarre you thought thus house supported your argument. This is literally a textbook mcmansion.
The third is insane that you thought to even link it. Clocking in at nearly 3x the size of a starter home, double car garage, also newly renovated, and fairly close to the center of Gillette as well. This is less a mcmansion and just a huge bilevel. At what point did you seriously think that this house did anything other than support my statement, clocking in at that kind of Sq ft and with that location?
This is exactly as I wrote and you’ve done nothing but confirm, that the “median” house prices are many tiers above a starter home and only a fool thinks these are the houses first time home buyers will be saving up for.
Next time when you wanna try and find houses that aren’t affluent, maybe take the five seconds to notice the literal sailboats parked in people’s driveways? It’s a pretty big tell lol
Yep. It’s unethical but nonetheless makes the coin actually have tangible holdings, because it’s actually impacting the real world.
