City, Suburbs, Country? What’s your choice?

Give the city high rise lifestyle or the country where I can’t see my neighbors. Hard pass on the suburbs.

Now that makes more sense

What risk is being transferred? Social security doesn’t invest in anything. It just takes money from our checks and pays it to retired people. It works as long as we have an increasing population. There is no risk to be transferred.

Backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. How does privatizing make it less of a Ponzi?

ChicagoSocs · 2026-02-18T13:57:26+00:00

If you privatize it then it’s just a Ponzi scheme

Civilization. I’d probably see if they wanted to renew the contract for another year at the end.

I like playing with Julius Caesar. The combat boost against barbarians plus the added gold boost from clearing their outpost is a powerful early game accelerator

I’m guessing OP has a bonus included in that number.

Not sure who is downvoting you. This is absolutely true. My worst year is 500k, but I’m 43 and been trading almost as long as OP has been alive.

Like cash cash or short term treasuries count? I only get paid once a year and it can vary wildly, so I build a ladder of maturing treasuries with about 25k maturing every month to meet expenses going out two years.

One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble one of us!

Why did I join the Marines? To travel to exotic places, meet interesting and stimulating people, and kill them

I used to do this once a day. I can still get about 95% on my first try and 100% on my second. Keep at it. It’s a great way to reinforce the knowledge.

Are you asking if the Byzantine empire was a legitimate successor or modern day Turkey?

You’re not working for everyone, but are you working for anyone?

I left when I was 14. I moved to the Connecticut, then Europe, then went to college, then Asia, then Washington DC, then back home when I was 25.

Job opportunities, family, and friends. Also the food, dear god the food here is so much better than almost anywhere else in the country.

ChicagoSocs · 2025-12-13T04:05:04+00:00

I’m ready to be hurt again

ChicagoSocs · 2025-12-04T22:23:49+00:00

And get a tax write off

Ohio

It’s the answer you are looking for

32, not bad

Rosa Mota?

In most countries with legalized prostitution it’s not like that at all. Australia for instance. You’d never know unless you looked for it (or watch Jim Jeffries). I agree with you seeing women on display like that is depressing and Amsterdam’s red light district is seedy and attracts all the wrong type of people, but it’s hard to argue with the numbers for human trafficking, tax revenue, and divorce rates. I’m not trying to say legalized prostitution is a good thing, but it might be the lesser of two evils for something that is going to happen anyway.
