Make it "punishable by up to 5% of global turnover over last three years" (kinda similar to GDPR) and stand back and see how quickly Google (I'm looking at you too Facebook, and Amazon) will change their shit show. India is

A little off track rant but the tax and health policies of USA are super freaking unbelievable. Why on Earth can one not be eligible for a HSA when they don't have a HDHP? The healthcare is screwed up. The least you could let people do

I'm really asking out of ignorance here: What's wrong with credit cards other than the fact that they don't bill my account immediately (which might actually be an advantage sometimes?)

I bank with SoFi. 2.25% APY on a checking (like) account. $1.5M FDIC insured (not that I care/need it). Access to practically ALL ATMs. Beautiful app. I use Uber Visa Credit Card, which is free, which auto pays itself from my SoFi, wit

I agree my comment doesn't justify my 'speculation'. I apologise and acknowledge that I could have done a better job. I intended to add a word of caution to the original comment, while completely acknowledging that I may be t
