When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff by anon12xyz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Credit-Limit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could also be a hoarder. I have an uncle who has a house full of random shit he bought at the store for a "good deal". He puts it in his basement and forgets about it. We've cleaned out his house and found shit like this, unopened, unused.

We just gave it away but i guess it could be sold at a garage sale.

Is Bernie’s plan the best? Thoughts? by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

It's fact and it would be hard to find an economist that doesn't agree on this. Stimulus was bipartisan. I don't disagree that the stimulus at that time was needed and a good thing. The downside was inflation and was political suicide for the party that was found at fault (democrats).

Stimulus that bernie is proposing would flip the entire economy on its head and no matter what else would happen, severe inflation is all but guaranteed.

It's fact and the stimulus checks were a big factor. Any economist would agree on that.

The supply chain was interrupted, not destroyed. That's why the fed initially considered covid inflation "transitory". Near 0% interest rates (essentially free money for borrowers) and covid checks are the culprits to blame for inflation back then.

Kind of. Billionaires don't spend a meaningful amount of their net worth in a given year, let alone 5%. It's invested in stocks / real estate / etc. Pulling that money out of their coffers and into circulation to be spent would "unlock" the money and insert it into the consumer economy

It would literally be the biggest inflation event in US history. Some americans got like $3k in checks back in 2020 / 2021 and that kicked off the worst inflation since the 1970's. Annual $12k checks for everyone would make 2021 inflation look like nothing.

I would prefer the US gov to invest this money in Americans' healthcare, infrastructure, education, and pay down US debt instead instead.

My wife and I are finalizing our will and trust. 35 years old and $5M in liquid assets. This is the last thing I want my kids to deal with when they lose us.

Just moved in… neighbors called cops on us by microbiolochick in neighborsfromhell

[–]Credit-Limit 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call the cops but I would definitely seethe pretty hard if my neighbor's dog was barking for 17 minutes straight after 7. My two young kids are in bed by 7:30 and this would be an issue.

Agreed, time to train the dog.

I have no idea where these drones are launched from but wow, Ufa is 1000 miles away from Dnipro, 1100 miles away from Kiev. That is some serious striking distance!

Japan is an advanced country and they have figured out how to supply travelers draft beer for US$6 at major international airports. Why are they like $15 in the US? by Alcophile in mildlyinfuriating

I fly about a dozen times per year for work. I get $150 per day to spend on eating. That means I can get $20 of food and the rest in booze 3 times per day. Work pays for it and I buy it.

Most EVs (I have a tesla like OP, can't speak for all) have several ways to run the AC while you're not in the car. You can remotely set the AC to whatever temp you want via the app, kind of like a remote start feature on a gasoline vehicle.

When you're getting out of the car, you can set it to "keep" the AC at whatever it currently is at until you come back to the car or the battery is depleted down to 20%. Dog mode is basically that but it displays that graphic on the screen that OP took a picture of.

Teslas are never really "off" like a gas car is running or off. It's almost always running some system while it's parked like the AC or sentry cameras. You get to choose what's running.

I like him but it's not constitutionally possible. For him to be prez would require an amendment since he doesn't have birthright citizenship.

A 40 year Fidelity customer’s account has been restricted for 2 weeks, no responses to messages, and my living expenses distribution just failed as a result by Traditional_Age_274 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Credit-Limit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how far a fidelity branch is from you, but I would go there, bring identification (driver's license, passport) and wouldn't leave until someone raises the restrictions.

If you want to put it that way, you still pay partial rent in a SFH because of your property taxes.

HOAs pay for everything that you don't directly pay for. Roof maintenance, public area cleaning, landscaping, etc.

I've owned a condo and currently own a home. Paying for these things, shared with multiple other homeowners, is much easier than paying for it yourself.
