[00:00]	IsambardPrince	Trump is dismantling the FDIC.
[00:00]	IsambardPrince	I would like to see the states pass laws forbidding banks from operating in the state unless they offer deposit insurance.
[00:00]	IsambardPrince	The state could run the deposit insurance fund.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	let depositors in states that voted for him risk losing all their money in a bank failure.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/europe/budapest-pride-indoors-hungary-closed-venue-intl-latam/index.html
[00:04]	TR Bot	 Hungarian government clamps down on Pride march, citing child protection reasons | CNN
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Orbanistan
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	Part of the EU.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	Isn't there a process to expel Orbanistan?
[00:05]	MinceR	doesn't seem to be
[00:05]	MinceR	looks like the Patridiots for Muscovy are going to take over and demolish the EU from the inside
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	"Gergely Gulyas"
[00:05]	MinceR	maybe the EPP will help them
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	Sounds like me in the morning with the mouthwash.
[00:06]	MinceR	i'd rather not mix goulash with mouthwash
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	You know first it's gurgle-ey, and then it makes that "gulyas" sound when you spit it out in the sink.
[00:13]	CrystalMath	MinceR: just do it anyway and screw the ban, like when serbia banned europride
[00:13]	MinceR	(Gulys means Goulash)
[00:13]	MinceR	i never took part in pride and i'm not about to start
[00:13]	MinceR	in fact, i'm getting out of this horrible city as soon as i can
[00:13]	CrystalMath	yeah for some reason i thought you were all hungarians
[00:15]	MinceR	more accurately, gulys means herdsman (who tends a herd of cows), a soup was named after that (even though herdsmen don't slaughter the animals in their care and couldn't afford beef back then), and then that was morphed into goulash
[00:19]	IsambardPrince	I hate NPR. They're playing 80s elevator muzak in the background while they discuss Trump killing AIDS victims all over the world after my mother and father voted for this piece of shit.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	It's like a holocaust. All you have to do is deny them cheap medicine for a few months and they start dying, mostly gay people.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Yes, my parents are guilty of a "holocaust". More than one at once, actually.
[00:24]	CrystalMath	well countries could help their own AIDS sufferers
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	They should, by ignoring US patents and telling Donald Trump to go fuck himself.
[00:25]	CrystalMath	indeed
[00:25]	CrystalMath	patents are of the devil and should be outlawed
[00:26]	MinceR	or they could embrace the spirit of ruscism and stop doing anything at all about diseases, except for spreading them
[00:26]	MinceR	"you got HIV? too fucking bad!"
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Trump says he may ignore the Supreme Court. That's a neat trick.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Then Illinois can ignore them too.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Maybe Pritzker can ride past it and moon John Roberts.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	If we're going based on "What will they do about it?" I mean, we can start ignoring all Supreme Court rulings.
[00:27]	MinceR	maybe Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Morbillivirus hominis could just wipe out the human species and end this parade of oppression and suffering
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	Nobody has done more to delegitimize this court anyway than the Republicans with their power grabs and perversions of law.
[00:28]	MinceR	or they could just wipe out the Axis of Evil and we'd go from there
[00:28]	CrystalMath	IsambardPrince: i don't recall you being happy when i cheered for Kamala
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	The federal courts are trying to strike down the Illinois gun laws.
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	If they manage to, I'm going to go buy an AR-15.
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	Saddle up, lock and load. :P
[00:30]	MinceR	with select fire?
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	I invoke the Fifth Amendment.
[00:30]	MinceR	though i guess even the nazis don't want to legalize those for civilians because they're hypocrites
[00:30]	MinceR	i invoke the Family Atomics
[00:31]	IsambardPrince	The Supreme Court threw out Trump's bump stock ban.
[00:31]	IsambardPrince	MinceR calls them the one with sour cream.
[00:31]	IsambardPrince	But he forgot one crucial element.
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Tomatoes.
[00:32]	MinceR	lol
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Diced tomatoes.
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Everyone knows to check it both ways. Some Taco Bells charge 10-15 cents more for Supreme than with "sour cream and tomatoes".
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	And some charge 10-15 cents less.
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	They're tricky.
[00:33]	MinceR	:>
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	I caught a McDonald's charging more for a deluxe quarter pounder with cheese than adding tomatoes and lettuce, and requesting two packets of mayo, which the packets of mayo were free.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	That shaved 10 cents off the sandwich.
[00:34]	MinceR	doesn't sound like a lot
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	It's not.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	But it's not nothing.
[00:34]	MinceR	especially if you count the work you do to add the mayo yourself
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	The mayo they add to it is greasier.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	If that makes sense.
[00:35]	MinceR	well, mayo is supposed to be greasy
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	It makes the burger fall apart, but the packet mayo doesn't.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	Which is weird.
[00:35]	MinceR	weird indeed
[00:35]	MinceR	i would have expected it to go the other way
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	Mandy says his friends in the group chat used the pictures of our cats for the chatroom.
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	They've never seen a cat like a Maine Coon before.
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	They don't have them there.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I don't know why I just remembered the name of a band my co-worker created 23 years ago.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	"Macaroni and Afterbirth"
[00:40]	MinceR	:)

[01:20]	IsambardPrince	"Infested rats: Landlord charged with attacking tenants made racist comments"
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	LOL
[01:32]	IsambardPrince	He's 73 years old. Like a hate crimes enhancement means anything.
[01:32]	IsambardPrince	Most old people are just completely brainless.
[01:32]	IsambardPrince	Whatever they once had is just gone.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	It says he "sat around listening to conservative talk radio" until he was radicalized to the point where he killed a 6 year old.
[01:34]	IsambardPrince	This is really the level of mind rot these old people have. They have nothing to do all day except sit around and lose their mind.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	Like my grandmother. Every day for 20 years she cowered in fear that the end of the world would be in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 (Y2K)
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	She fell and hurt her neck and in the hospital in 2015 (iirc) she was saying that "they're going to destroy the power grid on Christmas because they hate Jesus.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	And all throughout the 90s there was always a day the world would end, that came and went, and it was because Pat Robertson said the homosexuals something or other, this or that.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Being old turns your brains into swiss cheese or something.

[01:51]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, This is new.
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	The Treasury is now posting the rates each bill, note, and bond fetched at the most recent auction.
● Feb 28
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	Unfortunately, this county is governed by tax and spend liberals.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	I mentioned that we should hold off on the property tax hike for the forest preserve district last year, and voted against it, because we needed to "keep the powder dry" and see what happened as far as our federal grants for more important programs.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	But they raised the taxes and issued over $60 million in new bonds for trees, grass, and snakes.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	Now the governor complains that Trump is ignoring the courts and continuing to freeze $2 billion in our federal grant money.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	Which is about 3% of the state budget for the year.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It does force the state to cut. The governor already called for the repeal of the illegal immigrant healthcare program.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	An audit showed that it cost over $1.4 billion since 2020 when it was projected to cost $140 million over the same period of time.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	By "immigration advocates" who did the projection.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	The same audit found that 400 people who qualified for Medicaid were improperly enrolled, including over 6,000 that had Social Security numbers which made them ineligible because undocumented immigrants don't get those, and over 7,000 that just straight up lied about their immigration status or birthday, including at least 1,000 who had lawful permanent residence.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	The ones who lied could be charged with crimes and forced to pay it all back.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	And it won't look good on a citizenship application.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Might even cause them to lose the green card.

[21:12]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-pi, Mom opened some sort of credit union account that's not insured by the NCUA (the government).
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	They have "private insurance" that advertises "for credit unions who don't want....undue outside interference".
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	You know, an oversight board. :)
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	Making sure there's actually money in there.
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	Watching what the credit union is doing.
[21:14]	IsambardPrince	I can't think of a legitimate reason why they wouldn't be an NCUA member unless they're back there taking horrible, maybe even illegal, risks, with your money.

● Feb 28
[22:01]	IsambardPrince	There's no benefit.
[22:02]	IsambardPrince	WF doesn't pay interest. They just figure out ways to steal and nickel and dime you to death.
[22:05]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-pi, I used all sorts of messenger programs back then, I had accounts on YIM and AIM too, Pidgin's OTR plug-in meant that it didn't matter much if their server was not secure (it wasn't.
[22:06]	IsambardPrince	So basically it turns the tables, right?
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft or whoever just becomes a facilitator that is running the server.
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	Suddenly anything they intercept is pretty much useless.
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	If they have a security breach, it's just junk data.
[22:08]	IsambardPrince	When the AGs of various states plot against the Trump administration on Microsoft Teams, Microsoft is intercepting and storing this to give to Trump.
[22:08]	IsambardPrince	So the federal government knows what they're going to do days ahead of time.
[22:08]	IsambardPrince	They might as well have Donald Trump and his Cabinet in the Teams space with them.
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	Vladimir Putin too. Hell, invite Lukashenko too. He's big.
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	You ever see Putin and Lukashenko next to each other? It's like Lurch is standing next to Putin. I'm surprised the Russian media even allows this.
