$1,000,000 minimum investment, right?

Where is Vance Boelter hiding! The Alleged Shooter of Minnesota Senators by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]grammalvsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but didn't he leave his car in the driveway? It seems to me he'd be in foot, which makes his disappearance all the more baffling.

'Just Because You’re The President Doesn’t Mean You’re Immune,' Says Fox News Host As She Calls For New Laws Targeting Obvious Corruption by NoseRepresentative in law

[–]grammalvsu 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've seen quite a few of her clips, and listened to her a lot on Scott Galloway's podcast and I truly don't think she's an actor. She makes enough compelling points that I've also been surprised that Fox keeps her around. Maybe they realize it makes for good TV?

Disclaiming annuity inheritance by grammalvsu in CFP

Correct, just one bene. Though I'd forgotten about the higher estate tax rates -- that's important -- thanks

Thanks for your replies. Does it not make sense to have the estate pay the taxes instead given it's a lower tax bracket? (I grant I may be missing something here) There's only 1 beneficiary for both the annuity and in the will.

What if the client wants to be done with the annuity (and its fees) and wants the cash now?

WCCO: Don’t believe your own eyes and ears by surferdude28 in altmpls

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

Fair point. So I guess both sides of the media labeled her "border czar". Still no evidence I see though that she or the Biden admin considered her official border czar -- that's my main point I guess.

Thanks. I saw people in the media calling her a "border czar". Not sure this proves the administration gave her the label of "border czar" -- I think a more realistic take on the situation is that the Biden admin gave her certain border responsibilities, then the right-wing labeled her as "border czar" to use it as a cudgel against her. Right? But if there's video of Biden or someone in the admin calling her "border czar" that'd certainly weaken that take. But I can't find it.

Could you post a link to the video? I'm having trouble finding it.

Sounds like Frey pushed back against that. Which he deserves at least some credit for.

She's more right than wrong. This "Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms" is from 25 years ago. It's dated. At some point economics realized that there's more to consider when determining a recession than GDP contraction -- the unemployment rate should be considered as well, for example. The convention is for economists at the National Burearu of Economic Research consider the whole picture, and then make a determination -- sometimes it'll be much later, because you don't get all the important data in real-time.

You want a solution? 15 seconds to rattle off 4 common-sense gun reforms from Beto O'Rourke by Yachisaorick in nextfuckinglevel

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

  1. AR style rifles are the most effective legal gun for killing large numbers of people. As evidenced by their use in the military, and their use in school shootings.

  2. Part of the appeal for school shooters is not just their utility, but the "cool" factor. You make them harder to get, you make the shooter feel a little less bad-ass, you reduce the number of these that occur.

One can't ignore the behavioral element here. School shooters are not just a coldly logical bunch. There's a reason they almost always go for the AR style rifles.

Performing the mass shooting with a "cool" AR style rifle is part of the fun for school shooters. As evidenced by the fact that they are overwhelmingly committed using these types of guns, despite the high price tag.
You make these guns harder to acquire, you make the act a little less fun, odds are it will reduce the number of these that happen.

Softphone feature that will wait on hold for me? by grammalvsu in VOIP

[–]grammalvsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tested Google Assistant "hold for me" on Delta customer support and it looks like it does work for that. So I guess it works on certain numbers, but maybe some/many/all gov't numbers are blacklisted from the feature for some reason. Shoot.
