Others have answered, but the reason why “states’ rights” don’t matter at the Federal level is the Supremacy Clause. States can be more restrictive than the Federal government, but cannot be more lax/loose. An interesting aside is the states that have legalized marijuana usage, where the Federal government has (as of yet) not cracked down on that. It is within constitutional power to do so, but just hasn’t.
If your portfolio is down that much over that period of time, you are likely not making good investment choices. S&P500 is up like 50% since 2021…
Your losses or lack of portfolio growth isn’t really something to complain about online without more info on what your asset mix is. Unless your goal was just to complain, and not get any advice from helpful anons that are having more success in investment choices.
It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare
Tech, big cap, and healthcare are already part of the total market funds, so you’re over-weighting (taking excess risk) by investing that way. Assuming you’re pretty young based on time in market, you’d be fine with just the total market fund, until you have more experience with the market or just want a set and forget, for a while.
Having a news post buried in the path of “contact us” of an Atlanta field office, maybe?
The US is the primary military force protecting Taiwan, by treaty. That’s likely why.
Apple One+
Music, TV, Games, and 50GB storage for $10/month via Verizon.
iPhone user here, with an ad blocker in Safari and DNS-based ad blocking. Don’t assume all iPhone users are in that category…
This is because they are paid for the canvassing, right? I can’t fathom a reason why to bother with this, if not for that. Other than maybe some Dem tomfoolery to skew the ground game reporting, I guess.
This is fascinating. I hate the treadmill due to the monotony of doing that for 20-20 minutes. If I could break that up into 5-minute chunks over the course of the day, it’s less monotonous, for sure.
Investing billions
Weren’t the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn’t be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.
Fucking Woodward. We’re going to be getting these tidbits dropped all the way through the election. This guy and his antics to sell books…
Isn’t Microsoft Copilot just ChatGPT?
It’s always to sell a book, never when it could actually matter in real time.
They missed the 25-foot waterproof wall, for the actual damage, the storm surge…
Wouldn’t matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That’s why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.
Nope I’m just awful.
People on the opposite side of that tolerance spectrum look at us avid ad avoiders like we put in too much effort to do that, so I see it as two sides of the same coin. I started blocking/avoiding ads due to the nuisance, long before privacy and security became even more prevalent attack vectors through advertising. That was just a benefit to the time saved by blocking ads, but not it’s a primary use case.
When developers commit source code to a shared repository (for integration in software people like us use), they have the often-squandered opportunity to summarize the changes they are submitting. Linus (rightfully) thinks this opportunity should be leveraged more appr9opriately and more often, with more quality.
Unlikely all 4 though. Give people 1-2 they can map services two, instead of multiple wasted (branded) buttons.
I learned my lesson from the early days of covid. Buy that good stuff i bulk as a habit, not as an emergency reaction.
One thing most have done is incorporate more air, as part of shrinkflation. That makes it more soft because it’s less actual product.
