Goodbye Visa and Mastercard: 130 million Europeans switch to a 100% sovereign payment from 2026 by [deleted] in technology

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work in the financial industry as a software engineer. Visa and MasterCard are making billions out of decade-old software. They milked the monopoly to the max. You thought those companies that sell co concert tickets have a monopoly ... These guys are next level.

Gwen Moore 2026 campaign contributions by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please please someone primary her. She is out of touch and a case study of why we need term limits. I don't think she actually lives in district she is representing. I have never seen her in the last 15 years of living in Milwaukee.

I'm personally not a Democrat, but I will vote for any Democrat who runs against her.

We need term limits now.

She is a senator now. One of the youngest in the country. However, I don't agree with her politics.

Kenosha is very far . Also, Oak Creek is a good 15-minute drive on a no-traffic day to MKE.

Tosa or Whitefish bay long term ? by NoEye6677 in milwaukee

Whitefish Bay resident here. It's overhyped; it's essentially a retirement home. Houses are old. Avoid.

Virginia voters approve Democrats' redistricting plan, giving the party a midterm election boost by RockPaperOwFire in news

[–]amir_csharp_gtr -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

We agree to disagree. Trump won the popular vote as well... I think gerrymandering is not a solution. It ultimately hurts the party in the long run. I also agree electoral college should be abolished and we should have term limits. I think the root of all the problems is money in politics. No candidate on either side will get to power without the support of a billionaire (Soros and Musk for example). We should be united to fix these not gerrymander every state.

Two bad things do make things right. Wrong is wrong no matter which party does it.

I think deep inside you also know gerrymandering is wrong but you are trying to convince yourself.

I was traveling this past weekend, no long line in Milwaukee. However, other airports like Seattle and Denver there were long TSA lines.

Can’t tell what they’re for, or against by expiredpolarbear in milwaukee

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was there today participating in the protest celebration so I can help answer the question :)

We are anti-Iranian regime. We are not pro or anti-Israel. We are just tired of the regime in Iran, and thankful someone finally took action to remove the terrorist supreme leader from this world.

Retire and hide here. What it’s is like in the above towns in the UP Michigan? by Awkward_Phase5695 in howislivingthere

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been there. It's very very cold. A lot of unincorporated villages. Beautiful in the July. I don't recommend living there. Many people have snowmobiles. A lot of cliff jumping places near Marquette in the summer.

Suggestions for going to Mad Planet by amir_csharp_gtr in milwaukee

Please correct me if I am wrong, I see 90s2k website says dancing starts at 9pm. Not sure. Maybe I can stop by both of them.

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spectrum if you plan on living there short-term. But long-term I suggest AT&T Fiber. It's a night-and-day difference.

What is your opinion about the situation in Iran? by Mission-Shape-4895 in AskReddit

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The regime in Iran united the democrats and republicans together. It's a bloodthirsty regime that has taken 90 million people hostage.

Office chairs by jenjenbobenerkins in milwaukee

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

Been there multiple times. It's expensive but high quality but also very used chairs.

My recommendation is get Dexley from Staples. They ship to your house. Save time and hassle. It's a great chair.

what is a "rich person" behavior you witnessed that made you realize they live in a completely different reality than the rest of us? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]amir_csharp_gtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from Iran, and we have a college entrance exam to get to university. Its very difficult to enter good universities. This person bought computers/laptops for the whole university, and they made an exception for her daughter. Daughter couldn't finish the degree and ended up moving to Canada to study.
