All politicians lie. They're only ever called out by the "other side".

I guess so? I interpreted the parent's use of "separate interest rates" to mean nominal rates.

by thunky 2y ago
Separate rates already exist. Try buying an investment property and you'll see the rate is higher because there is more risk to the lender.

Passwords should be going the way of the dodo anyway. They've been mostly reduced to single-use tokens thanks to password change policies. And they're no better than email verification codes, which can be used to change the passwo

This reminds me of how absentee voting works. For example, in 2020 New York state threw 3.62% of absentee ballots in the trash. https://elections-blog.mit.edu/articles/deep-dive-absentee-b... Some legitimately discarde

Based on what OP is saying, if capitalism was really working here then Springer would be out of business - because they don't provide any value. It seems what we have here is a cultural problem.

Exactly. Just like most car accidents don't result in prison or death. But negligence or recklessness can do it.

You can go to prison or die for being a bad driver, yet people choose to drive.

"Unlimited data" means that you can use as much as you want/can without being charged more based on usage. Otherwise there would be a cap and you are charged extra when you go over it. It has nothing to do with speed/ban

So you'd be good with this kind of attack happening in your neighborhood, with your family members killed or maimed? Fair game as long as it's wartime and the intended targets are military personnel?

Yeah good point, this will make a dent if most/all of their $ is coming from a 401k. Hopefully they have other sources to pull from to lower their taxable income (and tax bracket). And at least there is the standard deduction. And m
