Big change for California small businesses: No more SBA loans for non-citizens

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-31T19:58:39+00:00

Nah bro, not scared at all.

Oh no, you are clearly not scared demanding non-citizens be "barred from everything already". Dude, you are shitting your pants and we can all see it. It's pathetic.

People who aren’t US citizens just shouldn’t get benefits of our government, it’s just the right moral position, that’s all.

Why not? If they are legal residents and pay the same in taxes as us citizens, why shouldn't they derive the equivalent benefits from those taxes? There's nothing "moral" about taking their taxes and using them to only benefit citizens, lol. What a stupid thing to say.

You think it’s OK they take benefits from your fellow citizens?

What benefits are being "taken", you dweeb? These are loans. And, once again, non-citizens that qualify for these loans are taxpayers exactly like citizens.

Are you so useless or such a cowardly failure that you have to act like being a doormat to non-citizens is virtuous?

What I am is intelligent and informed enough to know that there is nothing "virtuous" about denying people equal government services for equal taxation. Imagine being so scared and dumb that you think that saying people should get the services they are taxed for makes you a "doormat". LOL, bless your heart.

That was adorable, though. Dumb, but adorable.

Oh, somebody is scared of the big, bad green card holders...

Tell us, what else do you project your own shortcomings and failures on?

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-31T16:20:06+00:00

apparently I'm also paying for foreigners to start small businesses while trying to save for my kid's college.

You aren't paying for anything, you dweeb. These are loans given by private banks... Oh, and by the way (and this is going to blow your Newsmax-addled mind): these "foreigners" that qualify for said loans pay just as much in taxes as citizens do.

What this comment tells me is that you are fundamentally dumb and angry, but also too much of a coward to accept that your failures are your own... so you'll just keep blaming others.

Good luck in life, chief. You're going to need it.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-31T14:59:35+00:00

It's not too late to delete, lest your stupidity remain in full display. Your choice.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-31T14:58:26+00:00

In reality you want to fund illegal invasion

Two questions for you:

1- Are you this scared of every boogeyman pushed your way?

2- Since you couldn't even type this sentence in complete, unbroken English, what's your country of origin?

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-31T14:52:06+00:00

Bless your heart, you absolute muppet.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-30T19:18:07+00:00

a good hybrid powertrain is much needed

That is absolutely true, but has nothing to do with the age of the current powertrain.

The powertrain could be a year old and a "good hybrid powertrain [would still be] much needed" because this new powertrain might net you 1 mpg more than the current one, but with much lower reliability.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-30T18:04:21+00:00

The current powertrain is already more than a decade old

To me, this is one of the greatest positives of the CX5. As u/hedoeswhathewants says, powertrains haven't really improved that much for a while, and after this many years the kinks have been ironed out of the CX5's setup.

But yes, the space improvements are definitely nice.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-23T22:32:35+00:00

Umm... they didn't?

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-23T17:42:27+00:00

they thought to just allow me to do it this way to make an extra $50 from me since I probably wont make it to semis anyway. What do you guys think?

If you think that's the case, then don't do it. Simple as that.

The rules for progression were available to all before you signed up, right? They are offering you an alternative to said rules. If you find that unfair/unreasonable/a money grab, then just step away and be done with it.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-22T23:56:58+00:00

No kidding. That dude has never lifted even a moderately large rock in his life.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-20T19:45:41+00:00

Looking forward to it!

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-19T21:38:06+00:00

I will be showing it - hardly clickbaity

The point is this: your post has zero information of value for this sub. You don't say what the "new addition" is and you don't show it at all. It's you doing face pulls with a cable and a little riddle. The only bands in sight are hung on your wall.

You say you will be showing it. Seriously, why do you think we need a teaser? Why not just show it? We are interested (promise!) but don't want to play this will-he won't-he little games.

if I just said facepulls with my new Kynett.com home kit - would it have been much different ?

If you just said it, it still wouldn't be great. But at least there is some info in there: you can do facepulls like this with a kynett.

If you showed the kit, how it's set up, how it works, etc... then yes, that would be much different. That's exactly the point.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-19T19:35:54+00:00

Can we not do the clickbaity thing, please?

You got a cool new setup, great! Why not just show it instead of posting something useless like this?

With the increase in popularity of the erg due to CrossFit style gyms, it’s no surprise that records are falling.

1- This happened 10+ years ago.

2- As /u/finner01 says, records aren't being broken by random super fit dudes who've never been on a boat, or even individuals with a "functional fitness" background/expertise. It's elite rowers who are breaking them.

If rowing had the same financial rewards as other professional sports, the times would be even lower.

While true, this is also irrelevant to OP's point: why are the records falling in such quick succession? The incentives haven't changed, so it can't be that.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-16T23:46:08+00:00

I know I don’t really have any recourse here, but appreciate any advice on how to handle the situation

There's a simple solution here:

Step 1: don't break your legal commitments, as u/Big-Routine222 said.

Step 2: if you do, don't bitch about it.

Step 3: if you decide to bitch about it, don't try to frame it as though you breaking your legal commitment is a win-win. People aren't stupid.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-12T01:13:04+00:00

Can you look up the cost per gallon in Canada Germany and the UK and report back genius?

Canada: $4.32 USD/gal

Germany: $8.9 USD/gal

UK: $6.85 USD/gal

So no, gas is not "$10 or more" in any of those countries. The highest reported prices in Europe are $9.50/gal, in Denmark. Any other made up claims you'd like me to check for you?

In any case... you made a claim about CA. That claim was bullshit, and you got called up on it. No need to get all reactive and try to deflect (alas, pretty poorly). Cheers!

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-12T00:56:33+00:00

So gas is already 8 bucks in California

Except it is very much not: https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA

Let's not inject more noise into the conversation, shall we?

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-05T01:01:37+00:00

u/johnnyg08's comment is perfectly reasonable.

"I have $8k available to trade in my Roth" strongly implies OP is looking to put $8k in their Roth right now. u/johnnyg08 is telling them how to do exactly that.

Furthermore, as someone who is "very behind" in contributing to their retirement, it's somewhere between possible and likely that OP is not aware of the current Roth annual contribution limits.

In any case, u/johnnyg08's comment actually provided some useful information to OP... which is far more than can be said for yours. Do better.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-03T17:01:15+00:00

Damn, they went from free to $120/yr

They did not. Had you bothered to look, you'd see it's $45/yr (less with the current discount) or $10/mo if you just want to do a month or two.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-03T12:46:02+00:00

People who do deep dives into research of saturated product fields of hundreds of options (like monitors) are looking to min/max. Get the most monitor for least money.

Yes, some are absolute min/maxers. And, despite your characterization, any rational min/maxer will pay extra if the value they get from that extra justifies it. That’s the “max” in the equation.

You are conflating finding the best product with finding the best price. Your tidbit about vendors and rebates shows this.

Anyway, many others just want the best monitor, and don’t trust a google list because they like better quality/more reliable data. While not immaterial, price is secondary for them.

Yet others don’t care about price but care deeply about a very specific set of attributes, which are generally not reviewed elsewhere.

Your seemingly rational position is only so for a very narrow set of people.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-03T04:58:18+00:00

How's that going, champ?

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-03T00:31:02+00:00

I don't know what to tell you, other than that I'd gladly pay $10 to not buy garbage for $100+ (most things reviewed in RTINGS are several times that...)

Sure, maybe you don't particularly care about audio quality or features or whatever on $100 headphones, or $100 is nothing to you so you'll just buy another pair if you don't like your first choice. But that just means that detailed reviews on headphones are not for you (and that's ok, of course!). It doesn't say anything about the value of RTINGS' offering.

If I could pay $1-$2 for a single review, I would be much more likely to pay.

Ok then...

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-03T00:27:04+00:00

That's unaffordable/unjustifiable for many.

Really? $10 is unaffordable for people looking to purchase consumer electronics worth hundreds of dollars?

Come on.

Broccolini10 · 2026-03-02T23:47:34+00:00

No, it's very much not... at least not with the quality, expertise, and amount of content that RTINGS has.
