  1. Wordle 1,370 6/6 🟨🟨🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  2. Yes. Might talk with my aunt about that.
  3. I came to edit to add: He's on Medicaid, so there won't be anything after estate recovery but I am wondering if money in his account can be used to pay for cremation. If not, it'll probably be on me and maybe an aunt to pay for it.
  4. Necro bump because it was the most relevant thread to come up under "estate". My dad is dying. He has no will and very few assets. He lives month to month off of social security and disability, so he basically has whatever his last payment was. He rented a house with a friend and has a couple of storage units with some furniture, small appliances, and mementos. The only heirs are me and my brother. I don't want anything and my brother (who is constantly on the verge of homelessness) can have whatever is left. What is the best and simplest way to go about this situation? A quick Google search says I might be able to use a Small Estate Affidavit? Thanks for any guidance. Doing this from out of state so simplicity is a priority.
  5. A reminder that there are still fundamentally good, courageous people out there.
  6. Without starting a new topic, I suppose this is the best place for this info. Everything you wanted to know (and probably way more) about trade deficits and what they actually mean about our economy. Here's the summary from the end of the piece (titled "Things Everyone Should Know About Trade Deficits"): So, trade deficits don’t hurt jobs or growth, aren’t trade or economic scoreboards (especially bilateral ones), and can’t be fixed by things like tariffs or subsidies. They’re not a drag on growth, and they don’t represent lost American wealth or a debt we must repay. Trade balances can tell us stuff about an economy—but much less about a nation’s trade policy and much more about its citizens spending and saving, as well as the economic and noneconomic forces affecting those millions of individual decisions. In the United States, much of the stuff our trade deficit reflects isn’t a problem and, in the case of our attractiveness as a global investment destination or the U.S. dollar’s importance in international commerce, is decidedly a good thing. And outside of a recession or the world ditching the dollar, government efforts to shrink the trade deficit will fail unless they fundamentally change Americans’ savings and investment decisions or unless Washington finally gets its fiscal house in order. Indeed, if policymakers and wonks—despite all the above—still feel compelled to reduce the U.S. trade deficit, eliminating our bloated federal deficits would be the most straightforward and benign way to do it. Funny how none of the trade deficit worriers ever mention that.
  7. Some options White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs said are still available: impose sanctions on all Russian banks, sanctions on Chinese banks that are working with Russia, and additional oil sanctions
