It’s also more if it’s a joint account.

I think it’s a strength because I don’t want to chat with fascists, thanks

A sexual predator that decided to be called diddy is a little on the nose.

🎶 Ain’t that America? Home of the fee, baby! 🎶

That’s likely most 401ks. They’re a very large company so they’re going to be in just about every stock market index fund available. The classic advice for 401ks is to use index funds because their fees are so much lower than managed funds, and you can follow your portfolio by following the S&P 500 instead of having to worry about what particular stocks a fund manager picked.

Fund managers also tend to do worse than the market more generally, because a lot of them are really bad at their jobs.

MAGA pitches a fit every day of the week that ends in y.

Mugshots are also designed to make people look bad because it used to be a way that criminals would use for self promotion.

Versus now where only presidents use them for self promotion.

And the media covered it like a horse race and pretended it was totally normal to have a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the government run for president.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

It’s a subject I follow more closely than most I bother with.

Tea bags – depending upon your locality – are also a large source of micro plastic consumption. I’ve switched to loose leaf but it’s ridiculously expensive and very worse.

Has anyone written a sci fi book where an AGI is developed while we still have this IoT slop everywhere? It’d be a funny premise to have an AGI take over the world using smart light bulbs, alexa speakers, and humidifiers and stuff.

It is, though rarely they’ll reimburse you for out of network stuff as well. I got a COVID vaccine from rite aid and because Kaiser wasn’t fully stocking it at the time they reimbursed me.

They also only provide coverage in certain regions, so if you’re completely out of their regions and network they reimburse there too. They do this through a “travel card”.

Even low balling people on the fucking reward money. Cheap fucks.

Running business like a business is already a disaster.

COVID was the most transparent upwards transfer of wealth I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

Nobody noticed it at all, but it happened.

To get us out of the COVID market crash (which should’ve been allowed to happen in a “free market”) we got a Fed that was actively buying financial products to keep the market from imploding.

Even this quote employs weaselesque wording that defers to anonymous “critics” to make an accusation while maintaining a filamentous veneer of objectivity.

You can make completely opposite company-wide decisions as a CEO and justify them using shareholder supremacy. It’s not a falsifiable position because you don’t know what making the other decision would’ve done to your profitability. That’s my point. They have agency in their decision making. Obviously, sure they’re in service of profits, but there are numerous strategies to get profits. That’s why CEO is a job.

Lol yeah the CEOs hands are completely tied. /s

You could instead claim to want to grow subscriber numbers by better service to either customers or the employers that often decide whether or not to use your company for insurance.

His was one path he pursued toward profitability and growth, but it isn’t the only arguable path. The CEO determines what internal metrics are important as well as a strategy to try to hit them.

You can justify completely opposing company strategies on just about anything by appealing to “shareholder supremacy”.
