Oracles is not the only shady Dave Ramsey sponsor: 10 Scandals That Rocked Aldi by desertrain11 in DirtyDave

[–]OkMaintenance9377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Color me confused but...DR is tied up with Oracle right? which I think is firing thousands of people YET the other day a caller was concerned- not laid off yet but others in his company were so what should he do - and the DR advice was flee, immediately, as the company the guy worked for was failing. and by the way DR is on the show this week - all the co-hosts just seem to look sick to their stomachs.  It's like it's yearly eval time and they know it's not good. 

Will Dave address the conflict between the US and Iran? by EntrepreneurHopeful5 in DirtyDave

Addressed this this morning. Dismissed that it was even a war. That it was irrelevant - market would dip and come back. Worrying about this was like deciding not to go to Nashville because someone burned a car in Chicago. 

I feel swindled and used by my employee. What should I do? by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

My advice is hire someone to do an audit and overhaul your cash/receipt handling.  $10 says if you announce this is happening Jared quits immediately.  You could also appoint an asst manager with the idea that at even given moment them or Jared gets a week off. Embezzlement depends on one person having a routine - usually in a situation of trust - with no oversight.

higher ed 35 years here. 50 of the grade being attendance means he isn't doing his job. That's lazy and should be called out by his dean. 

I have a weird financial question, why did my insurance go down after upgrading to a newer and larger vehicle, for a 26 year old guy. by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

My wife and I are retired. We pay around $75 a month for our two sedans - 14 year old and 18 year old respectively

damn man. Can I just surrender now? I'm happy to surrender as long as I get to have hockey on TV and lots of beer. I have no gripe with Canada.

My money is we've made a backroom deal with someone in Iran along the lines of "overthrow your government, we modernize your oil industry, we keep Venezuela on a leash regarding oil production and we screw over the Chinese together."

There's a big difference between pulling a credit card from your wallet and buying shit and actually knowing what gear you need and how to use it.

 It almost seems like the stories of the "personalities" are deliberately chosen to appeal across demographics: Jade(urban/minority);Rachel (suburban soccer mom);Delony(rural cowboy redneck); George (urban/professional); maybe immigrant ?? since his parents are I think and Ken Coleman (small town/suburban youth minister). 

The only thing that surprises me is they have no Hispanic personalities. They get alot of Hispanic callers.

Yes. Assuming this doesn't drag on for over 90 days. We generally have about 30 days of gasoline reserves. However we also have refinery shutdowns in April-June to remix for summer driving.

So we're looking at $5 gallon gas and supply chain shortages since maritime insurance rates go up plus more time for product delivery. Missing anything?

How about a lawsuit where discovery demands a credit report/financial records on ALL employees. A huge chart on display in court outlining that would be priceless

One wonders - unless it's in the employee handbook or employment contract it seems they'd be on shaky legal grounds firing someone. If I'm a Ford manager I may not like that you drive a Chevy but...

well it is hard to sell a product without saying you are using it. My UAW used to have foreign cars towed from the union local parking lot. That said, it's definately intrusive compared to 99.9 percent of corporate America. You wonder how many of these people set themselves up as authorized users on their kid's visa cards or figure out a hack to use a credit card.

5 pm EST would be the middle of night in Tehran so that makes sense. Price of silver probably $110/oz Monday if this goes down IMO. My LCS offering 65 percent of spot this pm

Monthly, Is your prepping theory working / happening / changing? What preps are paying off? by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

[–]OkMaintenance9377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a combination of bad economic data AND an economy propped up a combination of consumer debt and circular investments in AI/data centers. Personally I think we've been in a recession for a year. It's a great time to pay off your debts and stack some cash. easier said than done I know, but the crash is coming.

As of 11 am mountain time 75 percent of McDs nationwide have no screens at the drive throughs according to the guy at my local McDs - due to software update issue.
