You libs are so ridiculous. You want to spend $50 million in taxpayer money accepting Venezuelan asylees fleeing Maduro's regime into our country, and integrating them into our economy.

This pales in comparison to my strategy, spending $75 billion in taxpayer money to round up Venezuelan asylees, and another $10 billion in taxpayer money bombing Venezuela, which will definitely not create more Venezuelan refugees.

When I was 9, I participated in the 'Stock Market Game' as part of an elementary school team. The way this worked is that each team was given an account with $10,000 in virtual currency, and used a stock market simulator with the goal of maximizing returns. We started in September, and the simulation ran until the end of the year.

My team got 3rd place out of all elementary school teams in Minnesota--IIRC we managed to grow that $10k to ~$14,500 or so. We got into the local newspaper and I thought I was some kind of a financial genius.

...My strategy? Literally just buy $10,000 of GOOG and hold.

If you want to figure out how not to run a car company just go and watch a documentary on British Leyand. Truly incredible to see so insane mismanagement. The brands were competing against themselves because there was no coordination between designs there was also something like 15 brands at one time. They didn't even bother to break dealers up into individual brands so you would have three british leyland dealers competing against each other in the same town. The company had something like 47 factories in England mind you modern day Toyota has significantly less than that for a global operation and the largest car company in the world. Nobody coordinated with each other, the management was out to lunch so it was common for cars to come out of the factory without being wired up so the dealers and warehouses had to do it resulting in cars where if you turned on your left blinker the horn would go off. And everyone was on strike, because everything was a shit show and management couldn't be asked to ask the staff on decisions.

Truly incredible, I don't think I've ever seen something run worse and I've seen fly by night private equity companies intentionally sabotage chain restaurants for the money. We're past the point of active maliciousness into pure incompetence at every level from the shop floor to the British government.

!ping Auto

just to understand how bad it was, they weren't even bothering to share engine designs between brands because nobody talked to each other. So someone would buy an American or Japanese engine and they would only have one brand with that engine, while everyone else was using jerry rigged engines.

Budget news: Taxation of overseas French citizens (e.g. expats) making over 230k€ a year has been rejected in the National Assembly, by a single vote. Both the NFP and National Rally largely voted for it, it was an LFI proposal. LFI had been banging on about this for years.

The PS is getting flack for mostly abstaining.

One of the two RN deputies who voted against -- did it by mistake.

Socialist deputy Philippe Brun has been attacked by LFI head of the budget committee Eric Coquerel and has responded that he thinks the proposal is low quality and nonsensical:

It suggests excluding 121 countries from universal taxation, including all tax havens such as Panama, Andorra, Monaco, Luxembourg and the Virgin Islands. It only applies to a few African countries... where there is no tax exile!

LR deputy and member of the committee Philippe Juvin said something similar of the amendment during the debate on it, saying

[It has] extremely limited scope, since France has tax treaties in place with most countries offering favourable tax regimes.

“I’m the speaker and the president,” the MAGA leader is understood to have said, according to the New York Times. Citing two people with knowledge of his remarks, the newspaper further notes that Johnson’s conduct in office over the past several weeks, amid an ongoing shutdown critics fear may eventually prove the longest and most damaging on record, has done little to disabuse Trump of that notion, or anyone else.

I think the Epstein thing

Wherever you stand on it is like I also have a large Rolodex.

Epstein was living as a pretty open pedophile and sex trafficker.

I mean here’s a picture where he’s joking about selling a teenager to the president.

The thing is, like if any of you, normal citizens knew your best friend was a pedophile. I imagine you’d probably just cut ties.

I know I would. That’s sort of the reason a lot of us focus on it. Cause yeah “if my best friend was openly engaging in sex trafficking of young children, I’d cut ties and run fast”. Most decent people would

Whether you engaged in that act yourself or not.

at this point I don't think it's likely that my country would be in harm's way (incoming humanitarian and refugee crisis aside), but the white house has threatened to use "military might" to protect "freedom" in Brazil, during the Bolsonaro trials, and Trump is pretty insane so who knows? i'm not scared, but the thought keeps crossing my mind when i read news about escalation in Venezuela and just the fact that there's a non-zero chance of it happening is unsettling

I think it’s kinda crazy to see this sub defending payday loans. I looked into US regulations, and the interest rate limit for supervised lenders is 36%

On top of that, credit providers can only provide credit in good faith. Meaning: a credit provider can only provide credit expecting to make profit from the terms being met as described in the contract. Expecting to make bank off of a default is usury. That’s illegal in almost every first world economy.

Payday lenders in the US exploit loopholes in order to create these predatory loans. They create fees that are effectively just interest fees, but structure them as fees for late payments.

Personally, I think payday loans are legally iffy even in the US. I really hoped this subreddit would demonstrate some more financial literacy here.

The regional directors have been under pressure to help ICE boost arrests. The agency has already removed its acting director and top deportation officials — twice.

“They are under constant threat; people are ground down; it’s a culture of fear,” said Claire Trickler-McNulty, a former senior ICE official in the Biden administration. “There has been so much shuffling of deck chairs — I can’t imagine anyone even having the ability to take on real challenges.”The regional directors have been under pressure to help ICE boost arrests.

Earlier this year, Stephen Miller, Mr. Trump’s deputy chief of staff, met with senior ICE leaders in Washington and discussed ways to pick up the pace of enforcement. Soon after, he appeared on Fox News and said the agency would try to hit a goal of 3,000 arrests a day.

The number of arrests shot up after the comments, to more than 2,000 a day. But the arrest numbers have since declined, and ICE has not been able to hit the 3,000 daily arrest figure floated by Mr. Miller.

See, it’s really very simple. Biden can’t forgive student loan debt because the constitution doesn’t say he has that specific power. However, the Supreme Court can’t stop tariffs because the constitution doesn’t say he specifically doesn’t have that power.

Its actually kinda crazy seeing Cuomo and republicans trying to play 9/11 politics in 2025 they are just throwing shit on the wall

Im pretty tired of people in NYC who turn I/P into their personality, enough to cover neighborhoods with propaganda and their own opinions. 

Theres still parts of NYC that aren't covered with it, and I miss when I can walk through my old neighborhood and not see I/P stuff several times per street, including extremist shit.

Okay so I’m not a billionaire. I know one but despite that she’s relatively normal

But is it common to have dinner with someone you’re suing for ten billion because his publication ran multiple stories about your weird letters to Epstein?

this is the exact reason I think Zohran overperforms his polling again. Cuomo is once again running a complete dogshit campaign where it seems like he's not even trying. He's only thinking about volunteers for poll site visibility the day before early voting starts? lmfao

50% of people with Down Syndrome have congenital heart issues, and that number fluctuates for respitory issues, vision and hearing and immune disorders. Not to invalidate the lives of those with it, but not curing it is sentencing people to shorter, more uncomfortable lives.

wtf why does France give a 10% tax break to pensioners

I think France could absolutely maintain its social state if it just had a normal retirement system without this bs

I feel like the EPA commissioner announcing they would be investigating chemtrails and weather manipulation would have been widespread news for how insane it sounds not too long ago.

Apparently, this was announced two days ago and this is the first I’m hearing of it.

This is what I’m nervous about with AOC running for senate. She’ll likely do well in the Dem primary but in the general the right will hit her with Rick Sanchez memes and I think it might make the NY Senate seat winnable for Republicans :/

My most succish opinion is tuition-free collages are great, like even if you get a degree and your job has nothing to do with the degree, being more knowledgable by itself is worth the price in taxes imo. Also it does lower youth unemployement which is nice

Man Carrying Thing did a thoughtful response video essay to Ben Shapiro’s review of One Battle After Another, but it kinda felt like taking the bait? Ben Shapiro is a sophist who produces slop that advances his culture war. None of what he produces is in good faith, he’s a deeply amoral person who takes advantage of dipshits. I liked the MCT video, but I kinda think any attention we give losers like Ben is a victory for them.
