[00:16]	IsambardPrince	"American Express is also trying to unseat Mastercard to win the Apple card."
[00:16]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, AmEx doesn't want most of Apple's customers.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	They don't generally want people who have much lower than a 720 FICO score, which is why they have low charge off (default) rates on their credit cards.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	Apple was demanding that Goldman approve people with a 600 or so.

[01:19]	MinceR	void doesn't seem to have krystal anymore
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Do you figure AmEx has a plan to make Apple customers profitable for the bank?
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	Or do you figure that they'll sign some idiotic deal like Goldman?
[01:22]	MinceR	s/ystal/istall/
[01:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	is there another deal?
[01:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	something in the news?
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	There's a competition for this apparently.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	Chase and AmEx are in the lead.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	Visa offered Apple $100 million to demand that the next bank use Visa as the payment network.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	This is insane.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	If AmEx gets the contract, Visa won't be the payment network.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Because AmEx is their own payment network.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	I think Visa is trying to help JP Morgan Chase get the Apple Card.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Visa has nothing to lose if Chase gets burned on this.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	They get the network fees whether the customers default on the card or not. And Chase would take the losses.
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	So essentially they're offering Apple a cut of the network fee to handle the volume of payments.
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	they turjn debt into a "hip" industry
[01:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	with Apple(r) logo
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	Apple is avoiding all the risk of being the bank while making guranteed profit, so Apple is the only one that cannot lose here.

[01:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	It did not do permutation to hide the source, but it was common sense you could "google the text" to detect plagiarism

[01:54]	IsambardPrince	We'll see if it works I guess.
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	He's making a point, trying to, that soon it won't just be Trump that he's using as a meat puppet, or the Republican in Congress. It'll be everything down to your local officials.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	$30-40 million to him is small potatoes. If he gets away with it, he'll have clueless people like my mom and dad, who stubbornly insist Trump is really the president (he's not) voting for Musk's local proxies as well. My mom doesn't even know anything about Musk or how he's a hostile foreigner who did a hostile takeover of the United States, using her.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	Musk came here on a student visa, dropped out, overstayed, worked illegally, lied on his green card and citizenship application, and is now running America.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	The only reason he's interested in using Trump as a meat puppet is the Constitution says Musk couldn't be the president, but he's figured out a way on paper, where Trump is the president, but Musk is the one running everything.

I've hit this wall several times, and sometimes it's not even true. They recommend things like using Microsoft Edge to edit a PDF 
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	and say your filing might be rejected if you use other PDF software. So you have to print it out and paper file it because you don't know if they've done something to the forms that will make them unusable when THEY open them.

Lawyers are entrusted with significant responsibilities, including representing clients competently and ethically, upholding the rule of law, and promoting justice. Disbarment ensures that lawyers who fail to meet these standards are held accountable for their actions, thereby preserving the reputation

[02:50]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I was talking to my mother about this the other day, laughing at CVS and Walgreens. I said they've got more shoplifters left than shoppers. Nobody wants to pay the prices, and people who are there to steal don't care about the prices.
[02:51]	IsambardPrince	When you make 10 razor blades $100 and a tube of toothpaste $10, nobody who isn't there to steal comes in.
[02:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	what's the solution then?

[02:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	the whole thing is just.. wow!
[02:52]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], They need to be competitive with Walmart, or at least competitive with Dollar General or something.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	The prices in a CVS are insane. I don't even go in for prescriptions anymore. Easier to get those at the supermarket.
[02:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	Walmart does presc. drugs?
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, it's the only pharmacy that's in network for the employee plan.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	But I fill my medication at Jewel.

[02:59]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], You have to have a FOID Card to buy or sell ammo in Illinois.

[03:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	2) anyone near you can just come and shoot you
[03:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	(which happens, they don't like you)
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], It's not legal to sell ammo to people who don't have a valid FOID.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	You have to get on the computer and check the state police website and enter the type of ammunition they buy and their FOID number.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	It will tell you if it's approved or not.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	It's also illegal to be in possession of ammunition without a FOID.
[03:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	they don't care
[03:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	illegal things are doing in spite of laws
[03:04]	IsambardPrince	You can go to jail for up to a year if you would have been eligible for a FOID and just didn't get one, or 3-5 years if you were not eligible.
[03:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	possession of things is hard to enforce
[03:04]	IsambardPrince	It's not hard.
[03:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	it is
[03:04]	IsambardPrince	Niggas tend to do stupid shit.
[03:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	they keep it hidden at home
[03:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	you got no warrant

[03:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	don't use the N word here
[03:05]	IsambardPrince	They get busted for that crap all the time.
[03:05]	IsambardPrince	If you have something you're not supposed to then you put it under the seat or in the trunk or something.
[03:05]	IsambardPrince	You know, where the cop won't just see it.
[03:05]	IsambardPrince	And take the traffic ticket and say thank you.
[03:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	"If youre interested in a short, write up on the privacy policy, then I am planning on doing it anyways, and it would just push me to do it sooner. I have some time this weekend. Let me know, [Anon]
[03:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[03:07]	schestowitz[TR2]	we'll soon have a big new series
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Needless to say, dumb people do things that make it obvious they'll get caught.
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	Like....don't pay your insurance so they cancel your plate.
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	Then you get pulled over with guns and drugs on top of the seat.
[03:08]	IsambardPrince	Where was the root of the problem?
[03:08]	IsambardPrince	Well, little things lead to big things.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	If you pay your insurance, come to a complete stop at the stop sign, go the speed limit, make sure all your equipment is working properly and there's nothing hanging off the car, renew your plates, renew your license. Throw the illegal drugs and guns under the seat or in the trunk.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	99% reduction in the odds of getting caught. Maybe more.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	The people who get caught with guns and drugs, or anything like that really, they're the dumbest ones.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	They walk around or drive aggressively, calling attention to themselves.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	You should really be carrying a smaller gun with you if you conceal and carry.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	If you need more than 6-7 shots it may be the other guy that wins, you know.

[03:21]	IsambardPrince	Maybe Elon Musk couldn't buy the election there.
[03:21]	IsambardPrince	Maybe his toxicity even cost the Republicans another court seat.
[03:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	This toxicity is a selling point in some circles
[03:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's also a matter of orientation
[03:26]	IsambardPrince	The results so far suggest that he got trounced.
[03:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	to some people musk doing hail hitler is not a turnoff
[03:26]	IsambardPrince	With a 2 seat majority, the Democrats can throw out the Congressional gerrymander.
[03:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	and in some SF circles saying s* and f* and saying you want to stab or punch some people is "haha, so funny!"
[03:26]	IsambardPrince	Musk wanted the Republicans in the majority so that they could uphold that when it reaches the court.
[03:27]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], This is big because throwing it out in time for next year's midterms could cost the Republicans two seats in the House.
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	Musk was on stage and he said he wanted the voters to put in the Republican so they could control the majority from the Wisconsin House Delegation.
[03:29]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Musk also has cases involving Wisconsin and Tesla.
[03:29]	IsambardPrince	So he wanted a judge he bought and paid for to decide that too obviously.

[04:12]	IsambardPrince	"Right to Work" is deceptively named.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	It's a law that's designed to dismantle labor unions, it creates no right to have a job.

[06:03]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Things are going to get a lot more lopsided in this country.
[06:04]	IsambardPrince	You know, with the federal grants being cut and the SALT tax cap potentially being raised a lot to compensate.
[06:04]	IsambardPrince	SALT deduction only really matters much if you live in a State with high taxes of its own.
[06:04]	IsambardPrince	Otherwise it's never going to be worth it.
[06:05]	IsambardPrince	But the nature of about half the States is, they'll never raise taxes for any reason because they don't care how well anyone there lives.
[06:06]	IsambardPrince	So while all the States could raise taxes and tell you "Well, deduct the amount you paid us on your federal return.", many won't.
[06:07]	IsambardPrince	I think that what Illinois needs to do is promote itself as a less expensive alternative to California. You know, I think Governor Pritzker has been doing a decent job of that. We've gotten some new investments from IBM and Google.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	I think one thing California has that's a serious problem is all these voter initiatives.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	Where there's like 100 of them on every election and people just vote without being educated or considering the issue.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	Then they pass laws that make everything from property tax to home insurance, just every aspect of life worse somehow because it seemed like a good idea at the time, then you can never get rid of it.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	Like the senior property tax freeze.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	A bunch of Boomers are laughing because their property tax can't go up, even if they're rich.
[06:10]	IsambardPrince	Nobody looked at the budgetary impact of these things.
[06:11]	IsambardPrince	Nobody considered if it was fair.
[06:11]	IsambardPrince	Nobody considered what it would do to the economy, or the market for housing.

[08:32]	IsambardPrince	The Republicans are losing their grip on the State.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	Last year, the state supreme court threw out an extreme gerrymander of the state legislative maps, and the Republicans lost their super-majorities.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	This year, the Democrats picked up another supreme court seat, and the school superintendent.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	So they control all the statewide offices and the Supreme Court, and brought the Republicans down to a simple majority in the legislature.
[08:34]	IsambardPrince	Probably next on the menu is throw out the state's law (not fully in effect) that bans abortion, then someone will ask them to through out the House maps.
[08:34]	IsambardPrince	If they do, they'll have to pass new maps or end up with court-ordered maps for the midterms.
[08:34]	IsambardPrince	It's gerrymandered so badly that no matter how the maps are written, the Democrats will pick up at least one seat in Congress.
[08:35]	IsambardPrince	Musk was furious that the court might throw out the House maps.
[08:35]	IsambardPrince	I think he realizes their time is short. The public is not happy about DOGE and the tariffs.

[21:59]	IsambardPrince	You can get basic hardware, but not anything more.
[21:59]	IsambardPrince	So what that does is, it erodes the profits and then you lose the hardware and automotive specialty stores.
[21:59]	IsambardPrince	Then you can't get everything you need at Walmart, and it's because everyone said what a good price Walmart had on a hammer or a jug of oil.
