Anyone wanna rent my pants? It only has one yellow stain.
Save up a million in 401k, investments and equity just to spend it all in a couple of years for senior care.
No, that's a "Mank".
A manc is an American mystery comedy-drama television series about a former detective with OCD and lots of phobias.
And people will fight this even harder.
The Fed may be compelled to slash interest rates in half next year to stave off a looming recession, according to a recent report by Swiss multinational investment bank UBS.
In its 2024-2026 outlook report published on Nov. 20, UBS said the U.S. economy is in for a shocker next year as consumers are running through the last shreds of post-pandemic savings.
I used to pirate movies but ever since torrent sites stopped working or started giving you .exe files, I stopped watching movies completely. Unless it's a movie on TV ofc.
"Oh, you're not interested? Let us increase our aggressive advertising and fight against ad-blocks to change your mind then"
The problem is - no one can beat them since they monopolized the market and make it almost impossible for any competition to survive.
Work-from-home made living in the suburbs a lot more expensive, and that’s unlikely to change even as more people return to the office.

The threat of a federal government shutdown is back on after a group of Republicans ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. It was the first time in American history that a lawmaker revolt dethroned a House speaker.
McCarthy’s ousters have paved the way for weeks of government dysfunction that could paralyze Congress at a critical time. Lawmakers have until Nov. 17 to extend government funding or risk a shutdown—something they narrowly avoided last week when they struck a deal at the 11th hour.
In the meantime, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) has assumed the role of temporary House speaker until lawmakers can decide on a permanent replacement.
“The House will be paralyzed; we can expect week after week of fruitless ballots while no other business can be conducted,” said Representative Tom McClintock, a Republican from California.
While government shutdowns are nothing new—the U.S. has experienced 22 shutdowns since 1976—the latest upheaval in Congress appears to be more than just political grandstanding.
Some lawmakers have been blunt about what could happen next.
TLDR; those donations go straight to the same corporations' pockets and "help" them :D
Great explanation! I always knew this but never had the chance to mold the thoughts into one clear explanation which you just did.
I prefer gravity straws. You just put the cup above your head and tilt the cup for the drink to pour in a straight line to your mouth.
Wait, is this real? No way.... I make better sandwiches in the 2 minutes time that I'm late for work.
Exactly why I don't even bother with mobile games. That market feels so oversaturated with paywalls, scams, microtransactions and ads.
I'm so glad that when I applied for my first job 10 years ago, having no experience in any field, applications through websites and apps wasn't really a big thing and it was mostly done by sending e-mails. Gathered a list of 200 emails and sent those emails one by one, got a call two days later and then kept getting more calls with offers for the next half a year. I do remember registering to a couple big company websites to apply there - and just like the OP mentions, those instantly became ghost accounts :)
Some traders are betting that the stock market will go into a cataclysmic selloff that could make the Covid crash look like a picnic.
According to Bloomberg, a trader recently placed a $30,000 bet that the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX—known as Wall Street’s “fear index”—will shatter new highs.
The VIX typically trades on a scale of 10-80, with 20 representing the historic average. Anything above 20 implies that the S&P 500 will experience unusually high volatility—which is a precursor to a selloff.
This trader expects the VIX to clock in at 180 by Feb. 14; that’s a 1,100% increase from current levels.
VIX has never traded above 100, and it hasn’t even been above 35 (extreme volatility) this year.
While it’s easy to dismiss this trade as ludicrous—after all, investors make crazy trades all the time—it’s not an isolated bet.
As Bloomberg reports, traders have opened more than 20,000 contracts for VIX December options with the same target price. Just last week, 5,000 of those contracts traded hands.
Clearly, some corners of the financial market are taking this bet seriously—or using it as part of a bigger strategy.
The wildfires in Hawaii this summer, Colorado in 2021, and Oregon in 2020 are bringing home to even die-hard climate change deniers the investment consequences of global warming.
The utilities serving the areas in each case are being sued for not shutting down their power grids during heat waves, contributing to some of the worst blazes in U.S. history.
PacifiCorp alone potentially faces $1 billion in class-action fines for the Oregon fires. Hawaiian Electric Industries’ shares plunged 40% during the fires in Maui.
But there is a sector that’s potentially on the hook for many times the size of those losses. And it’s not on anyone’s sell list—yet.
Banks.
