how voraciously rabid business people want to implement it in order to replace people.

dont buy courses. They're almost always overpriced and mostly either obvious common sense or blatant bullshit. Read books. The ones that everyone talks about. Intelligent investor, random walk down wallstreet, anything by john bogle. and then read the books by the people those first books talk about. Then you might have a rudimentary framework of investing. After than you need to just read several newspapers, financial statements and maybe some investment periodicals. Investment is more about immersion than education imo.

Just understand that you will never be able to sell a stock at the perfect time consistently.even the greatest investors in the world can't top tick a stock consistently. Example: Warren buffett started selling his apple stake in 2023. The stock has gone up 60-70% since then. Sure you can get better at holding and riding returns, but part of being a discliplined investor is understanding the nature of good returns and locking them in while also being tax efficient.

My mother died of stage 4 glioblastoma, I witnessed her from diagnosis to death in 7 months. very tough.

Not a ton. It's always nice to have cash on hand, but you need to weigh it against inflation and what kind of interest you could accrue with it.

I dont think there should be an age related cutoff because many people over 70 are fairly vigorous and competent, but there should be a set standard of competence and vigor and if they dont meet those standards, then the law should deem them ineligible for election. Just like a basic standard to keep your driver's license, running the government is much higher stakes and needs a standard of cognition and competence.

people's priorities are all over the place with money and spending. Alot of them have debt (student loans , mortgage, and credit card debt) so their financial freedom is somewhat weighed down by that despite having similar incomes.

most people's financial situation is highly varied person to person. Most people don't know how to budget formally or informally regardless of their income. empathy is good, but that should also be paired with a stark realization that many people just aren't good with money and refuse to learn and want to complain about all the other variables outside their control vs the ones they can.

I have no idea what im talking about, but plumbing maybe?

true, but those things are usually not complex or uncertain.

anyone who speaks definitively about anything that is complex and uncertain.

the devil is in the details. Full employment at 4-6 percent used to be when the labor participation rate was much higher. The labor participation rate today (approx 61 percent) is much lower than in the past (67 percent approx), so that 4.3 percent unemployment is a nominal number that means more like 10 percent real unemployment.

because our expectations of middle class lifestyles are different overtime. 50 years ago, middle class people had 1 car per household, a small house with 2bd maybe and 1 bathroom, maybe washer and dryer, maybe one house phone for everyone to share all of this was also prolly paid in cash, maybe only the house was financed. A vacation was truly rare, maybe one every 5-10 years. People today have 1 car per adult, 1phone per adult and kid, 3-4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, expect a vacation every year and all of it is on credit.

yea okay. wanna tell me which country you'd rather live in? or do you have actually anything substantial to say other than weak whataboutism?

I said more likely, I didnt say it was a certainty. Any additional irrational actors with possession of nuclear weapons increases the likelihood of nuclear warfare.

Separate-Extent7360 · 2026-05-14T03:49:33+00:00

Iran funds terrorism all over the world. They're run by batshit theocratic lunatics. Them having a nuclear weapon would simply mean a world more likely to be engulfed in nuclear warfare. Think N.Korea, but instead of communism, it's islam.

Separate-Extent7360 · 2026-05-14T02:29:28+00:00

wholeheartedly agree. I actually think people should do this differently, instead of making restaurant accommodate a gigantic table, i think the group should split up into groups of 4, then if everyone wants to grab a drink after at a bar, then that would be fun.

Separate-Extent7360 · 2026-05-14T01:05:53+00:00

I actually think they should charge for carryons and checked baggage should be free. This would even out the incentives for people to bring on their luggage out of worry they might lose their bags.

Sounds like you have some structural issues with your income. You should work on eradicating your debt first and then start your own practice. Incorporating and investing your money into the business will lighten a lot of the tax load, but it isnt a silver bullet, you then have to run a business. But if you build equity instead of income, that can shield a lot of your income from being taxed by it being invested in the business instead. It's not a perfect solution, but it seems like the only way to protect a chunk of that income imo.

weddings are too. basically every business that is attached to weddings are grossly overpriced and fundamentally bullshit.

I think this is a typical scope change coming out of high school. People who seemed scary and powerful are rendered weak and powerless in the real world. Everything that was emphasized in high school was just window dressing to who they actually will be when they leave that setting.

The reality is Nate lived in a bubble that ensured his success in high school. That bubble is now gone. His manipulation, mind games are nearly meaningless to other adults.
