This seems like a good a thread as any. My kid turns 20 this year. He's in college, and we should be in decent shape so long as nothing tragic happens. He's gotten some money from folks for school, but since school is okay-ish I'm thinking about getting him to put some money away to forget about. I'm considering total stock market index fund. I have zero experience doing any of this. Is it literally as simple as going to Vanguard.com, signing him up, and giving them $3000? I'm not really looking for investing advice. Unless an index fund is beyond stupid (which I don't see how it could be), I really just want to make sure it is as easy as it sounds.
Why was it ever at 55%. I'm not a big "kids-these-days" guy, but what the fuck? What did he ever do to get 55% approval rating with anyone except Republicans?
I'm sure something will be released that will only have the names of political enemies. The timing will be intentional, and the base will accept it as gospel.
I think the list should be expanded. My neighbor rents and his landlords are a group in Singapore. I think any person or group that owns more than 10 residential properties should see their property taxes increase 25%, and if they own more than 50, it should increase 50% more than 100 would mean more than a 75% increase in property taxes. The revenue that's generated would go to helping first-time home buyers with a down payment .
Unfortunately, this can't be pinned on one guy. Trump is the catalyst, but this is the culmination of decades of work by people way smarter. It doesn't end with one guy's death, it'll take a huge overhaul. Remember, it'll only be bloodless "if the left allows it to be".
You know what else people love? Doom and Gloom. Sounds like a certain poster I know. As for celebrities, we'll get Susanna Hoffs to endorse you since y'all go way back.
Elections only have consequences for liberals. Every bad thing that happens is the result of something Obama did 10 years ago. Sorry, this isn't changing in our lifetime.
