We = this article and the commenters on this article. We are commenting on travel between two US states, nothing to do with crossing country lines. The grandparent topic was, specifically, about ground transportion for four Americans from o

Good point, it would certainly be considered "unfair business practice" and I am assuming most developed countries have those sorts of laws on the books.

Completely irrelevant. We aren't talking about Germany or driving to other countries, that's totally different. We are talking about travel within one's own country. I would expect rental car companies to limit travel to fore

Rental car companies don't like you going over state lines? What? That's ridiculously untrue. I've never ever ever heard of anything like that and I never didn't take a rental car over state lines. I always read the

Um... yes. I missed a flight due to major flooding on the route to the airport requiring me to take the loooooooooog way around. The flooding didn't effect the airport itself (or my flight) because I don't live in a town with an a

Vast majority of the population wants to travel more but, of all things, the cost of a plane ticket is holding them back? No, this is not true. I travel for pleasure about once a year. I can travel more if I wanted to, finances don't h

Um...wtf? Are you replying to the right post? What news? It was never a secret, my cousin always knew he was adopted and nobody was ever sad. The situation is exactly like any other adoption just was informal in that it didn't involve

Most doctors ask for ID now. Even as recent as 10 years ago that was a rare practice. So, yes, it was possible to get medical services under someone else's name and even possible to execute an illegal adoption that way; I have a cousin

I was under the impression they didn't actually pay people bumped, only gave them a voucher for their next flight that they probably won't even use. Do they actually give cash?

The GP was pointing out that Robinhood also let's you buy Vanguard ETFs without a commission.

Robinhood is severely lacking in features and it is mobile app only, no website. If you want that kind of thing with index funds go with another brokerage (Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, all have commission free index funds.) The other really

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I know people who use Merrill Edge (owned by BoA) for index funds as well but I didn't feel comfortable writing about something I don't have any experience with and only a vague knowledge of. M

I've written this on HN before but Fidelity(1) and Schwab(2) have similar low cost index fund offerings to Vanguard as well so don't think you are stuck with Vanguard. Both Fidelity and Schwab also offer the best checking account
