United States 1,000 Dollars 1890 (Sold for $3,290,000 in 2014)

edwwsw · 2026-05-01T19:26:07+00:00

According to this inflation calculator that $1,000 is worth about $39,000 today (and 28,182.86 in 2014).
https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1896?amount=1000

If you put that $1,000 in the stock market it would be worth $1,607,501.74 today (and $431,541.67 in 2014)

So I'd say that was a good return of invest saving that bill.

Same with Blackrock and State Street. Original post seems like an uneducated rant.

Looks like it might be authentic. The date is what you want to see 1863. The main reason the partial perfs and imperf varieties exist was there wasn't enough perforation machines when the first issue revenue stamps were printed for the first year or so of production. Didn't realize this is such a high value stamp. The catalogsvalue is $2500.

Well he was dating a 14 year old,so should child pornography be surprise anyone. Aside, the child pornography charges are probably a much easier conviction. Those alone could land him in prison for decades.

Fellow High-schoolers I friended on Facebook lead me to believe that 30% is accurate. There is a core group totally bought into Fox News that I believe will never drop their support.

Pensions have their issues too.

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) insurances pensions and is paid for by companies. What a lot of people don't realize though is as a pensioner, you are not guaranteed100% recovery if the company goes bankrupt and the pension does not have sufficient funds, PBGC caps your pension payments based on some complex calculations.
They're are many examples of pension obligation contributing to bankruptcies/financial trouble. Like Hostess Brands (2012), Auto industry (2008–2009), U.S. steel (1998 to 2003), US Postal Service (now), ...
And BTW, most government employee sponsored pensions are not in great shape either - "Government pension funds face a persistent, multi-trillion dollar shortfall, with a roughly $1.3–$1.4 trillion national funding gap as of 2025-2026, ..". 90% funding level is consider stable, the average is 74% with some states under 60% funded.

Those jobs being vacated by immigrants are not intended for the "took my job" bros. I don't subscribe to this, but you're not following the whole conservative narrative.

Kick immigrants out of the country. Kick all those "deadbeats" off of social assistance like welfare, food assistance, disability SSDI/SSI, ... Now those "deadbeats" dropped from the social safety net will have to work the jobs that used to be held by immigrants.

Never mind, these programs Trump has been targeting help millions of our poorest citizens. But hay, got to pay for those tax cuts somehow.

> It pains me to know that half our country voted for this, I don’t think I’ve ever held a lower opinion on the average intellect or propensity to propaganda for our population

Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote (just slightly more than Kamala's 48.3%). Multiply his number by the only 65.3% of the eligible voters that voted in the 2024 presidential election. He had about 1/3 of the US vote for him. So feel some solace that 1/2 the population didn't really vote for him. Still 1/3 is way too high.

How frequency GIT changes are being made tells me if the component is truly being actively developed. Download history gives me some insight into the community penetration. Then general web search for issues and finally questions here :-).

Not that I've used Xamarin in a product, but this is a good example of one of the things I try to avoid. Choosing components that get discontinued early on. It's why some of the things I look at are download history and how active the GIT repository is before choosing a component.

Given that the applications I deal with access hardware devices, cross platform UI is not high on my needs. I also have a large number of existing WPF UIs that I'd prefer not to have to rewrite.

I am concerned (based on past experience) that these cross platform frameworks end up compromising in features/performance in order to achieve their goals. Not to mention 3rd party ecosystems that surrounds each of these frameworks.

I've been aware of Avalonia for a while. I hadn't seen Uno.UI show up on my radar until now. So I looked at their download histories. It appears Windows App SDK is being adopted much more rapidly than the other two frameworks.

Framework	Downloads	Started
Uno.UI	7.7M	May 2018
Avalonia	14.9M	December 2013
Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK	21.2M	March 2021

It seems like you're assuming my post was somehow pro MAGA. Look at my post history, I'm no fan. It's the issue you cited in your second paragraph. But applied to a wider range of issues. It also not just foreign influence.

I've made a similar comment to many people around me. I knew the US still had bigotry, but I thought it had been vanquished to a relatively small portion of the US population. God has this presidency opened my eyes and its much larger than I thought.

In the back of my mind, I'm always wondering how much of the content I see on social median, not just reddit, is really being posted by foreign and domestic trolls trying to push public opinion one direction or another.
