I'd comply. I'd cap my credit card interest rates at 10%. Of course, high risk customers would still need to pay a risk premium fee if they wanted to access a credit line above, say ... $500.

Seeing as how the regime is neither conservative nor liberal, we can all resist together. We'll get back to fighting over the capital gains rate once we've secured democracy and restored the rule of law.

Yes, but that is where our pundit and journalist class goes to learn about the opinions of "real" Americans. We're just a progressive echo chamber here on bsky.

I think most people thought he was a good pick to begin with, and that he deserved a cabinet position for the way he was mistreated by Senate Republicans. In retrospect, it should've been Doug Jones.

What we need is left-leaning (and unbiased) journalists who don't constantly criticize Democrats and hold them to an unreasonable standard that no viable opposition party in this country could ever meet.

Other digital currencies, such as ETH, are superior in many, many ways. But Bitcoin has what plants crave.

As much as we complain about the (very real) economic damage being done by the tariffs and trade disruptions, the long-term damage from Trump's immigration policies will be far worse. For decades, the best and brightest from all around the world wanted to come here. Why would they do that now?

Costco has some special things about its business that, in my opinion, make it deserve a richer P/E than its competitors. But it's still richly valued at these levels. The real question for me is why Walmart's P/E is so high, and just how sustainable is that?

Great news! All we have to do is keep repeating whatever we did in 2020 that made this number take off like a rocket. I was born yesterday, so I don't remember.

Of course, but I'm thinking specifically about tax law, where I've already seen AI hallucinate wrong or incomplete answers that would have potentially led me to disaster if I didn't already know the particulars from having gone through similar problems multiple times in the past.

Health insurance is hard for the self-employed, but we do receive the self-employed health insurance deduction, which subsidizes our costs to some extent. We can also qualify for ACA subsidies if our income is low enough.

Hurling racial insults at customers is grounds for immediate dismissal at any well-run business. Politics has nothing to do with it.

My base casce scenario is that AI puts a drag on employment, but doesn't trigger sudden, massive job losses. But now, based on my "Hassett Rule", I'm really starting to get worried.
