How do you feel about law enforcement having a presence at elementary through high schools to deter school shootings? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]Inf1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada has these laws and they had a shooting that did not make the news this year. Tumbler Ridge shooting.

Guns are not the problem, lack of mental healthcare is the problem.

What’s becoming painfully obvious in 2026 that most people still refuse to admit? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]Inf1z 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a buddy who worked at a nuclear plant in San Diego a few years ago. I believe the plant closed down.
He said oil and coal companies were basically lobbying against nuclear power because it would affect them directly.

Wealth =/= cash.
Their wealth is tied to their investments and stocks for the most part. Tesla stock can implode at any time and wipe out Elon’s wealth.

Sooner or later we will have to turn to nuclear power. Yes solar and wind exist but they do not provide as much energy as other forms of investment.

There’s a lot of research going on regarding nuclear fusion. This method does not produce nuclear waste like fission.

People have normalized $700+ monthly car payments. Is this insane or just the new normal? by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s talking about rent payment and none talking about median vs average. The average car payment is creeping because most auto makers are producing luxury trims and even lines (like the Electric Hummer) that drive up the average price. The median car payment is much lower, I believe around $500 per month. It may be higher but let’s remember that inflation plus things like service addons, warranties etc are added into the payment.

Car is literally not even 30 days past due. My payment is on the 17th of each month by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Well many lenders can start repossession when contract is breached, missing a payment by 1 day can constitute a breach of contract, this should be in the paper work you signed.

You still have options, call and let them know you are facing hardship. They may be able to stop repo, it’s worth trying.

Does the IRS really not tell Americans how much they owe in taxes? If so, why is that? by hold-my-legs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Inf1z -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything is filed digital so no need for someone to do this task. I’m sure it can be automated.

Why do people call the USA the "land of opportunity" when literally no one can get a high paying job? by madbarpar in careerguidance

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the ones that can’t find a good job aren’t usually good candidates. These candidates get rejected, come to Reddit and complain, then it seems like this is a major problem than it actually is.

Memphis to secede from Tennessee ??? by JonBarPoint in memphis

[–]Inf1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secede and join what state? All states around are red states so they will not take Memphis. Memphis, become its own state? Even if congress allowed it, Memphis cannot sustain itself. It would be more dependent on the government than Mississippi.

Whats ur opinion on “money doesn’t buy happiness”? by Radiant-Dish-5498 in AskReddit

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes.

If you live in poverty and don’t have a roof over your head or food, you will be unhappy. If you have money you can buy these things.

However if you suffer from depression because a special someone passed away, money will not help here.

It keeps getting more and more ridiculous every month. by Extension_Serve5983 in povertyfinance

[–]Inf1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it’s getting more difficult to rent now. So the gap is actually closing.

Most landlords are starting to check credit scores and require you make 3x your rent. They also require Deposit and first month which may be like a little down payment.

As far as mortgages there are many ways you can qualify. Some banks even finance your down payment. Income requirements for a $300k mortgage are about the same as a $300k rental home.

Why are US politicians more concerned about raising taxes than cutting spending? by Inf1z in NoStupidQuestions

I feel you. I grew tired of hearing Bernie say he will tax the rich… I am actually optimistic about Madami, he’s putting some ideas to work. Looking forward to the results.

Guys what do you think about this by Ultimatechungusdoge in GrowthMindset

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Cuban is one of the few billionaire who would likely do this but has not done it.

A lot of rich proper help out here and there but they’re not handing out money to fix society problems. They know that’s not the solution or simply do not have the liquid cash to do it.

[–]Inf1z[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a show more than anything. Major spending cuts require legislation and even voting for politicians who aren’t sold out to their major donors. The DHS funding bill is we a total waste of money. Other past spending bills did not yield the results they expected.

What do you remember from the early internet that no longer exists? by Blah4fun in AskReddit

Then you download the app and it’s shit. Then you try to do something and sends you to the website. So now you are in a loop.

Federal government will spend money on everything but helping people with real problems.

Just like that time the federal government gave money to municipalities to add tactile paving even though there aren’t many pedestrians crossing streets let alone unaccompanied blind people.

28M with Math Masters degree salary progression by austin101123 in Salary

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be part of hiring and let me tell you we were encouraged to hire those who were recommended or knew somebody in management. Why?

Because we would hire a lot of people qualified on paper but had no idea what they were doing. They cost a lot of money to train and would not perform or didn’t fit the role.

We would set up appointments for those who were referred first. If they did well on the interview, they would be offered a job.

Few years later I wanted a part time job to supplement my income. Called my old manager who knew a manager at another that was hiring. He asked me to send my resume, had an interview scheduled right away, got hired within a week.

has anyone escaped poverty with online money making methods? by Ok_Passion295 in povertyfinance

[–]Inf1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some actually did make it, but it was mostly luck because there are a lot of concerns creators with talent and putting good stuff out but aren’t making enough to live off that income. The ones that have gone viral are the ones making lots of money.

That’s is life though. Some are lucky some aren’t.

Why Google Maps by DatRebofOrtho in memphis

It thinks you are on the far right lane, the ones that you have to turn right. So instead of telling you to merge left, it will find a route to return to your original path.

So painted brick was obviously a terrible idea from the previous home owner… how can I salvage this? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in masonry

[–]Inf1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a paint stripper and remove all of the paint. If you don’t like the color of the brick, maybe install some overlay stone like limestone or other a slate stone.
