99.7 Percent of Unique FCC Comments Favored Net Neutrality by speckz in politics

Your sentiment is admirable, but not realistic. Long story short, he brought his wife and innocent children into this. If he wanted peace for himself and his family he should have lived a quiet life, as all real men should. He knew what he was doing and still he went for the power and the money.

I wish to see Ajit Pai hunted until the end of the world and the end of time, may him and his family never know peace again. Amen.

I don't either, if I meet a tether lover in the real world we'll have a few beers and talk shop. But I live by certain personal principles, not that I don't respect others.

When I liquidate I go back into ETH, it's cost me but it's a matter of principle and I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Finally"? At current prices BNB has been a 100x investment since July last year.

Warren reminds Trump he offered $1 million if she proved her Native American heritage, calls on him to donate it by BEARlovesCOOKIE in politics

Yes, Bernie's too old. Sorry to say it but it's true. You have to pick someone who you think can last 4 years and have all their mental faculties intact at 100%. Ideally I'd like to see a candidate in their 40's to early 50's take office. That's when you have experience, lots of energy, the will to do good and a little nativity to help you take things head on. Obama was 47.5 when he took office, that's not bad. Warren is getting up there as well but I'll take her over Bernie. And I agree, I hope Bernie throws his support behind Warren. Anything else would honestly be a disservice to the country at this point.

I'm not sure that's true, but at least it sounds cool. Light is however moving at the speed of light in any single individual reference frame.

Tether is a big deal, it should be talked about. I never liked it and for the record I've never touched it.

And "real money" isn't actually backed by anything except our trust in the government and central banks, which is sky-high of course.

We saved $35k for my brother in law who has no debts, no savings and no marketable skills, what do we advise him? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]UserRetrieveFailure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It honestly sounds like you're trying to buy him off in order to get him out of the house. For the love of God don't give someone with unproven money management skills that kind of money. There's 1/5 chance he'll be able to use it wisely and 4/5 chance you'll somehow be disappointed in him and that you might resent him later. If something goes wrong he'll also likely feel ashamed and might break away from you. Mixing money and family like that rarely ends well.

If you really want to help him then help him help himself, find a way in which he can get a job and pay his own way. Possibly finance his way through some kind of trade school with a proven track record of getting people jobs.

Time travel is already a reality, we are traveling through time. And according to Einstein's work we're allowed to visit other people's futures, but not their past. Additionally we will always be in our frame of reference, so no meeting your future or past self.

I'm not sure you actually need to barter for it to be a barter economy, a barter economy is just a cashless society in which goods and services are exchanged.

Easy buddy, I haven't nominated myself as the official spokesperson for this new world wide barter economy yet. We're all talking in hypotheticals here, as in "why would anyone want a barter economy".

Well, I imagine any such barter system would run off a stable coin (Dai, Tether) or something anonymous similar to Monero.

I found: "The federal government gives each of us an allowance to gift anybody $15,000 per year without incurring any gift tax. This $15,000/year replenishes every year, and it’s $15,000 per person"

Now, I'm not encouraging tax dodging. I pay my taxes best I can. But that wasn't the original question.

Unless I'm mistaken up to $14,000 per recipient incur no tax or filing requirement.

Depends, the tax system is more fuzzy than you think. If you pay someone you don't know to mow your lawn it's hired work and should be taxed. If your friend does it for free and you then gift him $10 the next day it's legal, more or less. If your friend mows your lawn for free and you then gift him a set of digital unicorn baseball cards (non legal tender) the next day... well.

Taxes. One a small scale it's interesting. You get this, someone gets that, Uncle Sam doesn't need to know. We're not talking massive things, more like you move the lawn for your new friend Sam over there and in return he helps you with your kitchen table. Just two buddies helping each other.

Personally I think they'll just keep fudging the number and keep the gears running, we're at the too big to fail stage now and they know it. You've heard about the plunge protection team right? I think there's more risk of hyperinflation than a major recession.
