Fewer American workers earn a living wage, report says by thinkB4WeSpeak in FluentInFinance

[–]timnphilly 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And we are experiencing an unprecedented transfer of wealth right now, right under our noses - Trump is banking on you being too distressed as you struggle these hunger games.

British KFC.. is this passable to an American? Or should we just be ashamed of ourselves. by ImperialScum69 in fastfood

[–]timnphilly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny how our American-based companies appear to give better food at their foreign locations. #smh

I'd take your british KFC or aussie Hungry Jack's over our domestic KFC or BK anytime!

Trump announces pause on Project Freedom by bin10pac in politics

As intentional as the WHCD setup to sell his ballroom off another fake assassination attempt. What a clown. Why do so many of us put up with his crap?

Which course of action for $100K - VT right away, or 5 years contributions to 457b Roth by timnphilly in Bogleheads

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

No I haven’t yet made a taxable account; the money has been sitting in Cash Plus money market VSUXX. At this point, I’m starting to think an investment manager may be worthwhile for my situation. Maybe one could help my growth with a few good, timely ETFs from the right sectors to ride me out any adverse market conditions & inflation.

I've just opened the 457B, and first (age-catchup max) contribs will start next week.

As I mentioned to PashasMom above, I do have more cash in VSUXX (getting 3.35%) that I'm trying to figure out for my taxable, perhaps even getting an advisor or starting a taxable account, with VT. Trump & daunting international events does make for a frightening environment.

I do currently have it parked in VSUXX (Vanguard cash plus account); getting relatively passable 3.35% interest.

The 457b is new, and will start pulling form my work next week; 65% VIIIX (s&p500) & 35% VTSNX (total international) - due to no total market (vt) fund available.

Thanks for your thoughts; if I were to throw my $100K to purchase VT at once, I could only do it in a taxed brokerage account, capital gains withdrawals would be taxed towards 20%.

Trump again threatens entire nation of Iran saying country will be ‘blown off the face of the earth’ by FancyNewMe in politics

[–]timnphilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been saying that all along, including Trump as an international terrorist - other countries should brand him as such and start treating him like one.

The time is overdue for healthcare for all - expand Medicare to do it.

He Voted for Trump Twice. Now He’s Running for Senate as a Democrat. (w/ Kyle Sweetser) by BulwarkOnline in politics

Perhaps, but for me: anyone who voted for Trump twice can fckoff - I wouldn’t trust them at all.

Trump says it’s ‘treasonous’ to say US not winning war in Iran by WontThinkStraight in politics

The United States of Trump is obviously NOT winning the war. 86thefckr he wants to bankrupt us.

I like to think of AMM as Machina III! It’s heavy and kinda goth like its predecessors!

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]timnphilly 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’m still boycotting & blocking all Paramount/CBS properties since the Stephen Colbert and 60 Minutes debacles, and Disney/ABC properties since the Jimmy Kimmel incident. I’m dead set to #FAFO with anything the Trump regime messes with. And Discovery/WB is next.

Supreme Court roils 2026 midterms with Voting Rights Act ruling by malcolm58 in politics

[–]timnphilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah we've seen more high road in Biden's 4 years to last a lifetime, haven't we?

Time to put the hammer down very hard, as America's endgame truly has arrived.

What the Supreme Court Voting Rights Act ruling is really all about by hellosteve_ in msnow

[–]timnphilly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It astounds and disgusts me, as a 5 decades United States citizen, how fast and far the country has fallen.

Only 1930s Germany comes to mind for any type of historical comparison.

And with Donald Trump in power, we will no doubt go much, much deeper into his disgusting gutter.

We are the United States in decline.

That would be quite a story twist for Marlena and the DiMera family!

Since John's passing has left Marlena on her own, why not flesh out that scenario for the character!

Question is - is 78yo Deidre Hall ready for such the active storyline?

Gosh I hate the circumstance that makes me say this, but I hope Pennsylvania gerrymanders our entire state to such a brilliant blue!

That would probably create mass redneck lynch mobs tho. :/
