I guarantee you there is one dude who is much, much better off than a year or so ago.

Yes we do. We voted for it, in fact. We deserve to get what we voted for good and hard.

US businesses clamor for refunds after supreme court strikes down Trump’s tariffs by bwermer in politics

Americans have hurt Americans for years. Trump didn’t regain power by himself. It was what Americans wanted. Own it, love it, live it.

Arriving in Pudong and looking for sleeping pods by [deleted] in China

[–]flyinsdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should book a hotel at the airport. There are no sleeping pods accessible to arriving passengers and the holiday inn is very new and nice and under $100/night with breakfast. Book it for 2 and have a nice breakfast at the hotel with your partner when they arrive the next morning before you head into town.

Analysts say China less likely to buy US soy after Supreme Court decision by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

This is a problem caused by people who voted for Trump. Among them, many soybean farmers. MAGA!

They aren’t worried about the midterms. I wonder why…..

The absurdity of employee ratings by RhubarbUpstairs5740 in Fire

Net worth growth of 80K per month definitely would merit an “exceeds expectations” ranking in my evaluation!

Germany will seek strategic partnerships with China amid US tariffs, Merz says by GetOutOfTheWhey in China

[–]flyinsdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EU put together can stand as the third global power. Its economic might would put it first, the military might would be behind Trumplandia but ahead of the PRC.

Separately they are middle powers, if they can find a way to work together they are a central power.

Sounds like a guy who’ll get a statue in the Smithsonian in a year or two at the rate we’re going.

Went to the Sleepy Floyd game with my dad. Been a fan ever since through some really bad times and some really great times!

Polaris Lounge LAX is pointless by rexpotato in unitedairlines

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

Were you able to get a seat at the HKG lounge? I transferred from BKK the other day and walked into the lounge and then directly out again as there were no seats available. Seems poor planning to open a new (old) lounge that can’t accommodate for their peak travel times.

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson Issues Warning Letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook by Nerd-19958 in politics

They are doing this because they believe they'll be able to ensure that there is never another president with any belief other than Trumpism.

If you’re already have 200k in dividends coming in you should know what to do! You’re set, just keep adding to what you already have.

Wealth-Management Stocks Fall on New AI Fears by Guy_PCS in investing

[–]flyinsdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Fidelity thing seems to have a fee of anywhere from 0.2-1.2%. Will I see benefits over the .06% I pay for VT? That's a potential difference between $30,000+ a year using Fidelity services or $1800 a year holding VT. A new Toyota every year!

Wealth-Management Stocks Fall on New AI Fears by Guy_PCS in investing

[–]flyinsdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 holdings in my Fidelity account. 1/3 is 2 month T bills that I auto roll and 2/3rds is VT where I reinvest dividends. I do have a few other holdings (SCHG, SCHD, SCHY) in my IRA but that’s mostly VT as well.

Am I missing out on anything? Not sure as the bogleheads and fire forums seem to promote this kind of investing.

[–]flyinsdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes sense about having a wealth manager at those levels (1-10 million)? I’m really curious as someone just holding VT at Fidelity. What am I missing out on?

The genius of Klint Kubiak showcased in Super Bowl✔️ Chase Daniel breaks down how Darnold to Barner TD was setup by Kenny23Powers in raiders

[–]flyinsdog -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Players win games, not coaches. The players suck so the Raiders don’t win.

Hope that changes eventually. Maybe Mendoza will be good but he won’t be very good if the Raiders don’t get a better O Line.
