The Stock Exchange can stop ALL trading of a stock. That’s not what Robinhood did. They stopped all purchases of a stock. All they let you do was sell. Well, when you can only sell a stock and can’t buy any as the value drops, it’s going to crater.

well duh. What’s the point of being a billion dollar company if you can’t call your powerful friends to bail you out?

It’s not ironic. It’s hypocrisy. It’s like arguing with a religious person who busts out their bible to say homosexuality is wrong and should be banned, yet when you use their same magic book to point out the other rules like no pork or shellfish they change the topic. Rules for thee, not for me.

They claim it’s for users protection. And yet they allow you to buy/sell options which are infinitely more risky.

And they’ll absolutely get away with it, because at the end of the day, hedge funds aren’t playing with their own money. They’re playing with the middle, upper middle, and wealthy classes’ money and retirement portfolios. No one in the SEC or Congress wants to see those suffer massive losses from reckless actions.…

Agreed. F the anomaly platform BS, and the stupid stonehenge POV rune puzzles. I tackled all the daughters at around level 320 and all 3 of them were ridiculously difficult and took me down to my last ration. But the lost drengr’s were cakewalks.

I also liked and hated that the optional world encounters were optional. While there were a few of these world encounters I hated, the overwhelming majority were great or at least decent. Towards the end (around level 280, 1-2 regions left to tame) I’d seek them out and play them, but there were entire phases of the…

We do this with stuff. You pay Sales Tax when you purchase it. Oh, you somehow got it without paying Sales Tax? Here’s your Use Tax bill, sucka

The exhaust is nice on them. Unfortunately, the rear end on these looooves to swing out on corners. You’ll recall on one of the TG holiday specials Hammond crashed one of them on a track

True, it varies on the client, but also on your position. If you’re an onsite consultant or associate it’s one thing. If you’re the partner or senior VP signing a block-buster deal, it’s another.

The first question (unanswered by OP) is just how big of a shitbox is their vehicle? If it’s 15-20 years old, but well-maintained car that’s one thing. If it looks like Uncle Buck, missing fenders, and beat to shit, that’s another matter.

Tesla is a shit company if you think it’s a car company and compare it to other car companies. It’s a rocket ship if you think it’s a tech company developing game changing tech

That’s how this happens when a Republican goes tyrant, keeping everyone in check by fear of being targeted, and doing so for any petty reason keeps everyone walking on eggshells. Trump is a scumbag, but was great for the GOP. In addition to the fundraising and turn out he delivered (don’t forget 71M voted for him),…

The M3 would counter that you can have a fun sport sedan big enough to fit 5 adults that doesn’t have the size (or handling) of a boat.

“Don’t be a victim” was the best advice in the article, even if the execution offered wasn’t. Bullies are, by and large, cowards. They pick on the weakest person and they keep doing so because they can, because there’s no ramifications, and because their victim doesn’t fight back. You cannot and will not ever be able…

Ah, only if he openly testifies in court. He doesn’t need to do that, because a snake like Guiliani isn’t going to rely upon verbal testimony. That’s not leverage, that’s just “he said/she said.” No doubt he has incriminating documents stored some place.

Bingo. “I don’t recall” only comes up when you’re trying to avoid perjury. But when civilly sued if you don’t deny the allegations, they may be deemed admitted. Plus, when you’ve said “I don’t recall” you then cannot comment or explain certain damning documents to the contrary.

Not the same. Drug companies get inordinate amounts of grants from the government, which belies the claim that you need to recoup all the legwork you put in. Further, they sell the same product for substantially less in other countries, and stick the bill to their US customers instead.

But what are those numbers based on? Why is 30% not ok, but 15% is?

We haven’t yet begun to see the longer terms problems of student loan debt. When your student loan payment is the same amount as a mortgage payment, it prevents you from buying a house. Delays you from getting married and starting a family. Many boomers have a substantial portion of their wealth tied up in the equity…
