[01:47] DaemonFC He has not even entered office yet, and just days after he won the election, Walmart fired 1,200 people and bolted. [01:48] DaemonFC They were on the fence about leaving and waiting to see how the election went. [01:49] DaemonFC As a large business, they plan for years down the road. [01:49] *darwin (~darwin@7d3n498busjrn.irc) has joined #techrights [01:50] DaemonFC And they are good at what they do, but Chicago was a gamble. The city already had a lot of trouble and to get Walmart to agree to open stores in neighborhoods that were risky, the city leaders had to make concessions. [01:50] DaemonFC But it still lost money. [01:52] DaemonFC Without that Walmart there, other stores in the area and that movie theater will lose sales and they may have to shut down too, due to decreased foot traffic. [01:53] DaemonFC So it's going to cause the neighborhoods, like Chatham to have giant dead zones where the city approved a massive shopping complex in 2010, and it was gone and dead by 2023.

[01:57] DaemonFC They have rolling power outages because none of them can figure out how to run an electric grid. [01:58] DaemonFC Every year since they seized power, the country is getting a lot worse because they're very racist against Whites, and the Whites with the degrees and knowledge to run everything are leaving the country, killing themselves, or on drugs now.

[02:22] DaemonFC "And figure out where your 403(b) account is." [02:23] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], I've considered changing the investment direction on Mandy's 401(k), but everything else has done worse than the S&P 500. [02:23] DaemonFC It's awful out there. [02:24] DaemonFC "helps reveals" [02:24] schestowitz[TR2] fixing.. [02:25] DaemonFC "by one we can say" [02:26] DaemonFC "Another question: can one actually withdraw a pension early?" [02:26] DaemonFC You have to prove you're facing a hardship with the Walmart plan. [02:26] DaemonFC Like sending them a copy of some huge medical bills or an eviction or foreclosure letter. [02:27] DaemonFC The only reason I put money there is because of the match and tax purposes. [02:27] schestowitz[TR2] or evidece of fraud :) [02:27] DaemonFC I don't put more in there than I need to in order to get the 6% match -or- trigger the 50% tax credit. [02:27] DaemonFC Any more is just gambling with your own money. [02:28] DaemonFC If 6% works out to about $2400 a year, then $2,400 from Walmart, and then $1,000 in tax cancellation and being in the 10% marginal rate instead of 12%.... [02:28] DaemonFC Maybe it's worth the gamble. [02:28] DaemonFC But you put in 7%, that extra 1% is all on you. [02:29] DaemonFC The only way you'd go there is if you're bumping up against the end of the year and need to stay under the threshold for the credit. [02:30] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], Most of the people Mandy works with are basically leaving at least $3,400 on the table by not putting in $2,400. [02:30] DaemonFC And that would be if you're just earning the starting wage. [02:30] schestowitz[TR2] i see [02:30] DaemonFC You let Walmart keep $2,400 and the IRS another $1,000. [02:30] DaemonFC So if you can turn $2,400 into $5,800, you do that. [02:31] DaemonFC Well, most don't. They have no idea how our tax law works. [02:32] DaemonFC The 401(k) won't be a huge source of income in retirement. [02:32] DaemonFC But it's better than nothing. [02:32] DaemonFC It may be the difference between not being able to pay your bills. [02:33] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], The only year I didn't do this was the first year Mandy worked at Walmart. [02:33] DaemonFC Our combined income was so low that we didn't have a tax obligation anyway. [02:33] DaemonFC So since the credit is not refundable, it wouldn't have changed anything.

[03:54] DaemonFC But they will not budge on increasing credit lines or lowering interest rates on existing accounts right now from what I can gather. [03:55] DaemonFC The lady at the bank said that they wouldn't even consider my request to lower the interest rate because "I never owe them anything after the grace period anyway." [03:55] DaemonFC But that goes with what I've always heard. [03:55] DaemonFC They lower interest rates if you like, max out the card and then call and imply you'll have trouble paying. [03:55] DaemonFC Then it can go down a few points because they're still going to rape you. [03:58] DaemonFC If you need a loan and make a major purchase, credit cards are so not the best way to do it. [03:58] DaemonFC You could apply for a personal loan and get 10-12% even now.

[04:03] schestowitz[TR2] just to pay for debt or money you never had [04:03] DaemonFC Old bans that were laying around on state books are being overturned now. [04:03] DaemonFC Or repealed. [04:04] DaemonFC The Republican legislature in Arizona previously accidentally overturned a complete abortion ban and set a new one at 12 weeks. [04:05] DaemonFC The courts are siding with an argument that the recent action by the state legislature overrules a law dating back to a territorial government that was imposed by the feds in the 1800s. [04:05] DaemonFC And the Republicans lost the Gubernatorial election. [04:05] DaemonFC So they can't easily change the law when they lose. [04:05] DaemonFC And they also lost the AG office, so the state is no longer defending the territorial law. [04:06] DaemonFC Wisconsin's Supreme Court just flipped to the Democrats in time to hear a challenge to an 1849 ban. [04:06] DaemonFC And Michigan repealed a ban from the 1930s. [04:07] DaemonFC Also, the Indiana Supreme Court has issued an injunction against the state's total abortion ban that was passed last year. [04:07] DaemonFC Can't see why they would if they were going to agree with the state and let it take effect. [04:08] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], They ended up banning abortion in far fewer states than they thought they would. [04:08] DaemonFC Even "easy" ones.

[04:09] DaemonFC That is happening. [04:09] schestowitz[TR2] true [04:10] DaemonFC They pushed on abortion and they flipped the balance of power in several states. [04:10] DaemonFC States that will now go further and repeal a lot of these voting restrictions too. [04:11] DaemonFC So like, the Republicans have Florida, but did they just lose Michigan and Wisconsin? [04:11] DaemonFC I mean, it's more trading territory than a decisive win. [04:12] DaemonFC I can't do much to keep them out of power federally. I made absolutely sure we were counted in the 2020 Census as living in Illinois. [04:12] DaemonFC Mandy can't vote, but by living in Illinois and being counted here, Illinois has more representation in the federal government. [04:12] schestowitz[TR2] "One thing that does annoy me about Roy Schestowitz is that he lives in a country thats more well-adjusted, where it seems that even if people struggle a bit, they dont resort to rampant criminality, and he gets to take pot shots from the cheap seats from the UK and act as if shoplifting means they ran out of money and needed diapers, some chicken, a package of carrots, but no.

" [04:13] schestowitz[TR2] No, she is still there [04:13] schestowitz[TR2] her kids hare it [04:13] schestowitz[TR2] *hate [04:13] schestowitz[TR2] she just... tolerates that [04:13] schestowitz[TR2] because parents do what kids want, right? ;-) [04:14] DaemonFC Oh, I thought you said she was escaping Portland and coming back. [04:14] schestowitz[TR2] it's complicated [04:14] schestowitz[TR2] i hear contradictory stories [04:15] DaemonFC To be fair, I don't much like what Illinois does, but they scare me a lot less than what Texas or Florida will do. [04:15] schestowitz[TR2] i don't want to harm her privacy, but i can say [04:15] schestowitz[TR2] she is back to work [04:15] DaemonFC So there's no real gain in trying to duck the Census. [04:15] schestowitz[TR2] her husband got a massive pay cut [04:15] schestowitz[TR2] and the kids want to leave [04:15] schestowitz[TR2] she finds that Americans are lying, unreliable etc. [04:15] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], She's lived in one of the worst places to live.

[04:17] schestowitz[TR2] since you mentioned "Bign News "(did not know such a thing exists) [04:17] DaemonFC I said "It's a photo ID. Illinois is a government." [04:17] schestowitz[TR2] you injest like 1000+ sources [04:17] schestowitz[TR2] then analyse them [04:17] schestowitz[TR2] and do processing before studying them [04:17] schestowitz[TR2] so we can also keep up with patents, politics etc. [04:17] DaemonFC I think the fact that Walmart couldn't make it in Chicago says more about Chicago.

This is a criminal matter. This if now formalised. [04:25] schestowitz[TR2] My wife and I are coming to collect our funds from NOW: Pensions this week. Please specify the time that best suits you. We live not far from your office. [04:25] schestowitz[TR2] Suffice to say, repeated lying by your staff -- including by managers -- will be duly noted. We trust neither you nor Sirius. [04:25] schestowitz[TR2] The sad thing is that pension providers have helped the perpetrators of crimes, covering up for them instead of working to protect the victims, who are the people's whose money is actually making its way into the accounts of reckless gamblers at the pension firms. Who do you work for? Are you working for employers who commit crimes instead of employees (whose money you are taking)? [04:25] schestowitz[TR2] Silence on this matter won't help you. Au contraire. Please respond today." [04:26] schestowitz[TR2] They kept lying to cover up prior lies, in effect lying to me like half a dozen times already. It's circular and when challenged on the lies, more lies follow. Those people are handling (gambling with) people's money. Trillions of dollars are managed by those sorts of firms. [04:26] schestowitz[TR2] Many technical people suspected something was amiss and when phoning Standard Life we were only obstructed, so in effect Standard Life allowed the fraud to carry on. Standard Life cannot simply pretend to have not benefited from this.
