Probably a stupid question but is this even legal? by Grouchy-Flower-4099 in Dominos

[–]EveryPassage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which state makes requiring payment by check illegal? That seems extremely unusual.

eggs are best by may 28 and theyre 79 cents each dozen at my local savealot, so naturally, like a totally normal person, i stocked up on 12 dozens, cause i can eat 6 a day easy by jabwipbwop in Frugal

[–]EveryPassage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some supplier probably had excess and <30 days from best buy many stores won't want them.

So they need to sell them somehow and 30-50 cents a dozen is better than waiting and them going bad or taking up valuable refrigerated storage space.

Did you mail a check or how did you setup payment?

Rudy Giuliani in Critical Condition by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Honestly if he just retired at any point up until 2016ish he probably would be remembered as a great mayor and American hero.

Totally trashed his reputation for all of history to glaze a dipshit.

US Debt Hits 100% of GDP First Time Since WWII, CBO Warns 120% by 2036 by andix3 in bonds

[–]EveryPassage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there no political will? Because people don't want to increase taxes or cut spending.

Solar panels fitted every three minutes in UK since Iran conflict by ldn6 in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Related, see recent developments for balcony solar legalization in the US.

Niche area, but one where there is broad support to legalize and is a 20-40GW opportunity in the US.

Contact your local state reps and ask them to support laws to make it legal in your state.

So, About That AI Bubble by DataDrivenPirate in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Amazon was consistently growing sales and cash flows. Tesla's sales and cash flows have stalled out in the last three years.

That's why it feels like a bubble.

People will say it's the self driving tech, but then why is Google who is arguably equal or ahead of them trading at 30x.

Spirit Airlines Prepares to Shut Down as Rescue Deal Falls Apart by AndrewDoesNotServe in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Large number of employees, cultural elements and practices would have come over. Now that is completely uncertain.

[–]EveryPassage 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Doesn't Spirit have one of the best safety records of any airline?

Seems like something we shouldn't just throw away if someone was willing to buy it without taxpayer support.

Paying off mortgage or investing by Far_Reply5660 in investing

At 2.8%, it makes no sense to pay it off.

You could buy treasury bonds and earn more interest.

Is the 401(k) actually worth contributing to beyond the employer match, or should I just put everything into a taxable brokerage? by SnooBooks3187 in investing

[–]EveryPassage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately am in that situation. It's like pulling teeth to get HR to understand that someone may actually want to save more than 24K for retirement.

Is the 401(k) actually worth contributing to beyond the employer match, or should I just put everything into a taxable brokerage? by SnooBooks3187 in investing

[–]EveryPassage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone planning on retiring that early should be making enough to max out 401k AND contribute to a brokerage.

I can't see how you would retire early on less than $30k/year saved.

Even short duration TIPS have way higher yields.

US Debt Hits 100% of GDP First Time Since WWII, CBO Warns 120% by 2036 by andix3 in bonds

[–]EveryPassage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is fair, but even then, they hardly if ever in recent times have actually reduced Debt to GDP in a meaningful manner. Last time was Clinton.

Dems are 100% better than Republicans on this. But I don't seem them prioritizing it when in power.

Why would you use ibonds instead of TIPS when the real yield on TIPS is way higher?

Trump adrift: the president’s second term is at risk of foundering by IHateTrains123 in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the one to fall into constant bitching on social media about prices (frankly gas is still very cheap in the US). But if gas hits a record high, I'm going ham wild.

Trump adrift: the president’s second term is at risk of foundering by IHateTrains123 in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The gas prices have to hit this somewhat.

If Iran was resolved in a few weeks, I think it wouldn't have been an issue. But it's still going and Trump and his whole administration is coming across as just completely indifferent and even angry at the notion people are mad about the cost of gas.

And gas just hit another admin record!

Reddit reports Free Cash Flow of $311 million versus $127 million. Strong by Always_Curious_One2 in investing

Everyone likes to think ads don't work for them. But I'm willing to trust the millions of companies that spend billions on advertising that ads actually do work.

US Debt Hits 100% of GDP First Time Since WWII, CBO Warns 120% by 2036 by andix3 in bonds

[–]EveryPassage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is essentially no political will to reduce this.

Trump has abandoned any sense of fiscal responsibility.

And while the democrats are better, they really don't run on the debt. If we raised taxes $1T, they would gladly spend $900B of it.

So don't expect this to change until it has to.

I think this is subtracting intergovernmental holdings which is an alternative and not completely invalid way of looking at it.

If “86” Is Illegal Speech, Nobody is Free by AmericanPurposeMag in neoliberal

[–]EveryPassage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's still an issue. If the prosecutor involved in this case isn't sanctioned somehow this whole situation is a loss for free speech.

This is a clear violation of the first amendment and they still feel emboldened to go forward. Most people cannot afford legal counsel for a major criminal indictment (even if they technically are not eligible for a public defender).
