[15:26] DaemonFC[m] If you shift the focus to saving $10 here and $20 there and $50 here and $100 there, you gather savings instead of debt. [15:26] schestowitz__ yeah [15:26] schestowitz__ we're mostly the same, maybe can retire early [15:27] DaemonFC[m] Debt is negative work because things you already bought continue to drag you down even after the product is worn out and due for replacement.

[15:31] DaemonFC[m] Only difference is that it's $400 now and it was $800 two months ago. [15:31] DaemonFC[m] They know that these things are massively overpriced. They are the people who did it. [15:32] DaemonFC[m] You're not buying something that's going to last forever. Why would you spend over $1,600 on it? [15:33] DaemonFC[m] They price phones anywhere between 3 and 8 times wholesale and then graciously offer "zero interest financing". How does that work? Right. [15:34] DaemonFC[m] Theb it gets even better. [15:34] DaemonFC[m] Phone protection plans. [15:34] DaemonFC[m] Which many people get as a credit card benefit for free just by buying the phone with that card or paying their bill with it. [15:35] DaemonFC[m] So that eats up $1,400 over ten years. [15:35] DaemonFC[m] Nobody reads the credit card benefit book. So they may be paying for something they already have. [15:36] schestowitz__ yup [15:36] schestowitz__ sad, but.. [15:36] schestowitz__ some people enrich themselves with these insecure and lazy buyers [15:36] schestowitz__ in large quantities [15:36] DaemonFC[m] This is how they really soak people on a phone. [15:36] schestowitz__ 10 million people x $1000 profit margin = 10 billion bucks, no tax to pay if you're GAFAM, you evade it with small bribes [15:37] DaemonFC[m] Yes. Income taxes are designed to bring down poor people and make them pay for the government that doesn't do shit for them. [15:38] DaemonFC[m] Any way you can use the system's rules to avoid tax is desirable. [15:39] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz The government allows you to deduct retirement plan contributions from gross pay and that may totally be worth it. They tax you when you take it out, but most people make less in retirement. [15:39] DaemonFC[m] So if you can avoid a higher bracket now, you could win in the long haul. [15:39] MinceR other taxes do that too [15:40] DaemonFC[m] Even if you manage to make so much that you end up paying tax on half your Social Security, you'll still probably be in the lowest bracket in retirement. [15:41] DaemonFC[m] But mom is finding out that she'll be too broke in retirement to pay tax on half her Social Security.

[21:27] DaemonFC[m] Apparently in a Playboy Magazine interview, he said he supported white supremacy "until the blacks are educated to the point of responsibility". Ouch. [21:28] DaemonFC[m] I've taken a good look and I see a failed education system that has left few people responsible enough to be trusted with anything, honestly. [21:28] DaemonFC[m] No need for racism. Most people are too stupid to be trusted with anything important. [21:29] DaemonFC[m] Look at the kind of leaders we get. Like MinceR's Prime Minister. [21:29] DaemonFC[m] I mean, shit, I could govern a small country better than that with one proverbial arm tied behind my back. [21:30] DaemonFC[m] Most governments have fucked up COVID and hence their economies by trying to save pennies on the vaccine. And it's crazy. [21:31] DaemonFC[m] They'll never get going again without immunity because too many people will be sick at once. It will be a slow burn suicide for the economy. [21:32] DaemonFC[m] What's going on in America right now is weird. Inflation and wage hikes with 9 million less jobs than last year. [21:32] DaemonFC[m] Never thought I'd see anything like it. [21:33] DaemonFC[m] I think that Kroger isn't just shutting down stores because they don't want to pay hero pay, I think it's because they are genuinely in deep financial shit. [21:33] DaemonFC[m] Walmart is clobbering them on prices and paying more than Kroger would even with hero pay in a few counties.

[21:46] CrystalMath are you gonna cancel George Washington because he doesn't know what electricity is? [21:47] CrystalMath respecting your history means accepting that you didn't always know what you do now [21:47] CrystalMath that's why everyone should be judged according to their time, not according to now [21:50] DaemonFC[m] 1970s apparently [21:50] DaemonFC[m] Well, many people felt strongly that slavery was wrong and tried to sabotage it openly before the Civil War broke out. [21:51] CrystalMath yes, i'm pretty sure, maybe even people back when it was still England [21:51] CrystalMath well, the colony i mean [21:52] DaemonFC[m] Something is going on in Illinois lately where COVID-19 is killing less people, but more in their 40s. [21:52] CrystalMath new mutation? [21:52] DaemonFC[m] Yeah, and people in their 40s and under are not generally priorities for the vaccine right now. [21:52] DaemonFC[m] I had to get creative to get vaccines for me and Mandy. [21:53] DaemonFC[m] Mutations, actually. [21:53] DaemonFC[m] Brazil, UK, South Africa, New York, California, and the original virusz at least. [21:54] DaemonFC[m] I've seen people in their 30s listed as dead from COVID in the daily figures, but just here and there. [21:54] DaemonFC[m] Maybe single digits in their 20s since this all started. [21:55] DaemonFC[m] The virus isn't that deadly to people under 50, so far. [21:55] DaemonFC[m] But it can kill younger. I saw a healthy 18 year old listed as dead from COVID in WGN the other day. [21:56] DaemonFC[m] My dad went to High School with a guy who dropped dead in gym class from a heart attack at 17. [21:56] DaemonFC[m] I mean shit happens.
