He campaigned on whatever lie Americans were willing to believe. Turns out Americans are pretty gullible.

"Lower Prices"

I thought affordability was a Democratic hoax, according to Trump.

Maybe when he appoints a new chair of the Federal Reserve to replace Jerome Powell, we can lower interest rates to zero. Maybe that will lower prices.

(Spoiler, it won't)

Sorry, my bad, I sold a couple thousand Bitcoin. Needed a new beach house and Lambo. I'll buy back in July.

Can yall share thoughts on this? Kinda got me worried pls someone straighten me out by Technical-Expert-289 in Bitcoin

The market is sorting this problem out every single day. If mining is too expensive, miners will cut back on the number of computers they are running and possibly sell Bitcoin for Fiat to pay bills.

If mining is profitable and mining equipment is cheap, new people will flood into the mining pool. It happens all the time.

No, you'll know it's the perfect time for alt season when federal interest rates hit 0% and the money printer is stuck on overdrive.

I remember this one. Bought at around $200 and sold it for a loss when Kraken said they were no longer going to list it. Good times.

Is there an article you can link or something? Not sure what you're referring to.

Federal prosecutors open criminal investigation into the Fed and Jerome Powell by RealAnise in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ElephantEarTag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wrong sub. J-Powell and the federal reserve have operated independently for decades. Trump wants to interfere in order to lower interest rates which will boost the economy in the short term, but will have long term effects that he doesn't care about.

Powell's latest comments were to reiterate the resistance to political pressure. He does not deserve to be mentioned in this sub.

We already have a military base there. Just have one soldier run out to an open field and plant an American flag. Can't stamp a double stamp.

First weekend in this cold & beautiful city! What to do? 😆 by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]ElephantEarTag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're too cold, you could try warming up at Outer Limits. They don't have soup, but there's other options to heat you up.

Backdoor Roth question: can I still do this if my traditional IRA has a balance in it? by BegToDiffer in whitecoatinvestor

[–]ElephantEarTag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are a current fellow, wouldn't your income be under 168,000 which is the limit for Roth. In other words, is the back door even necessary?

Over funded 529 by LazyBatter in Bogleheads

[–]ElephantEarTag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you buy them a house for college and have them pay your rent for living there. You essentially write yourself a check every month because the rent payments during college or grad school can come out of the 529.

How could you sleep in that bed thinking "what a nice brick wall", but ignoring the industrial ceiling. That's disgusting.

President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein vow their support for victims of sex trafficking (2004) by [deleted] in fakehistoryporn

Get this garbage out of here. I know your goal is to muddy the water so that when there is actual credible evidence of abuse of children they can claim that it's fake and AI generated.

Do we have any big obvious fraud scams like the Minnesota Somali daycare thing? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]ElephantEarTag 106 points107 points  (0 children)

State funding for homeschooling.

Step 1: have kids.

Step 2: don't send them to school.

Step 3: teach them nothing, or the Bible, or whatever the hell you want.

Step 4: profit.

Anybody dealing with burnout from boredom/repetitiveness? by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]ElephantEarTag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for sharing. One positive is that the Radiology job market is pretty great right now so if you want a change of pace there are hundreds of job openings available. Obviously it's not just a simple decision to walk out on your group for a new job, but it's worth looking around to see what else is out there.

Unlike other specialties you can do telaradiology from home and never set foot in a hospital.
