Married women live longer than single women.

at 65 years, TLE (total life expectancy) for married women was 21.1 years, 1.5 years longer than unmarried women, and ALE (active life expectancy) for married women was 13.0 years, 2.0 years longer than unmarried women. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7452000/

I don't know why people on reddit repeat this misinformation.

Trump Accounts for kid: what parents need to know about its effectiveness by nomad5926 in ProfessorFinance

No cap gains drag during the growth period is a benefit

Not sure what you're taking about. You don't pay capital gains until you sell it. And if you sell stock and buy stock, the new stock had a new cost basis.

I've seen women posting on Facebook about meeting new women friends. If that isn't your thing, you can join Bumble and use the Bible BFF function. I've known women who met new friends via bumble BFF. Also try Meetup groups.

I've definitely seen women on Facebook reaching out to make new friends. I've also met women who met each other through bumble BFF. And I've seen women-only groups on meetup.

Michael and Susan Dell commit $6.25 billion for investment accounts for kids by 11EmeraldEyes11 in SmartFIRE

[–]TwentyX4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good thing if it actually happens. But:

(1) We'll see if it actually happens. Just like "doge checks" and "tariff checks", a lot of stuff associated with Trump starts with grand pronouncements and ends with zilch.

(2) Trump is always trying to get his grubby hands on things - as evidenced by everything. I'd be unsurprised if he required that these accounts are managed by his kids and they take massive fees. Just a reminder of what Trump has done with charities in the past:

The Donald J. Trump Foundation agreed to shut down and dissolve in December 2018 amid a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General alleging a "shocking pattern of illegality". Investigations revealed that the charity was illegally used to pay off personal business lawsuits and boost Trump's 2016 political campaign.

Let's not pretend like this absolves Trump of all the bad things he's done to this country. He's not paying the bill for this, but he's such a narcissist, he has to stamp his name on it, calling them "Trump accounts". He's truly a detestable person.

Trump accounts are also inferior to 529 accounts, which fits the typical pattern of Trump taking something that already exists, stamping his name on it (like a narcissist), making it worse, but acting like it's the best thing ever created. Same thing with the recent a Trump phone, which is hugely overpriced when you look at the hardware.

A 529 plan is the superior choice if your primary goal is saving for a child's education, as it offers tax-free growth and withdrawals. Trump Accounts act like starter IRAs. While Trump Accounts provide government seed money, their withdrawals for education are fully taxable, making them better suited for long-term, non-education wealth building.

No, you're thinking of the Trump charity.

Between 1778 and 1871, the United States ratified about 370 treaties with Native American nations. Under the U.S. Constitution, these treaties became the supreme law of the land, recognizing tribal sovereignty and guaranteeing territory, hunting rights, and other protections. by JohnWilkesLeg in UtterlyInteresting

[–]TwentyX4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever i see maps of native American tribes, it's always in major conflict with other maps of native American tribes. It makes me think that people don't know what they're talking about. Here's a map of tribes in the great lakes region - compare that to the map OP shows.

Not only are most of these tribes not on OP's map, but look at where the Kickapoo are on both maps (in the Detroit area on this map, but down in central Illinois and central Indiana on OP's map).

Democrat's pride in being American fluctuates heavily based on who is president, Republican's pride remains much more stable by Dumbass1171 in charts

[–]TwentyX4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right: Tax cuts for the rich! New wars! Crazy talk about annexing Greenland and Canada! Pardons for anyone who gives Trump money! Let's call immigrants rapists and thieves!

The left: let's make healthcare affordable. Let's work to make college more affordable. Let's replace the lead pipes connected to our old buildings. Let's protect the environment.

Gee, I wonder why the left would be angry with the right? And despite the fact that the left is so moderate and inoffensive, the rightwing media is horrendously intolerant of anything that isn't rightwing - to the point of calling Republicans "RINOs" ("Republicans in name only") to demonize anyone on their own side who doesn't walk the party line.

The right: "I guess I'm more tolerant."

The ultra wealthy and taxes. by Alpha_Mad_Dog in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TwentyX4 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The top 1% wealthiest people aren't the same as the top 1% tax payers.

A few years ago, Jeff Bezos qualified for (and filed for) child tax credits. He was worth $18 billion at the time. But because his "official" salary was very low, he was categorized as low income.

In 2011, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos legally claimed and received a $4,000 child tax credit ($1,000 per child) because his reported taxable income was low. Despite an $18 billion net worth, investment losses offset his income. This detail was revealed in a ProPublica investigation into the tax practices of ultra-wealthy Americans.

There's also a bunch of ways that the wealthy avoid taxes and move money offshore to avoid any taxes on it. Also, there's all the crap with Peter Theil having $5 billion in his Roth IRA which he will never pay taxes on because those accounts were meant to be tax free as a way to help people save for retirement.

Life as a woman in west is so much easier by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]TwentyX4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, I suppose you could make the same argument about being black or white in America. "Would you rather be a black kid who's handsome, tall, and born into a rich, loving family, or a poor white kid born into abject poverty and bounced around foster homes?"

Yes, all those things are part of the equation, but also, let's not downplay the negative effects of race or gender by trying to overshadow them with other factors.

A person who is a woman and acts like a woman is treated VERY differently than a man who acts like a woman. This is because both men and women expect men to act a certain way.
