I still think anyone can do that, just on a smaller scale. Either way, sounds risky. Stocks sometimes go down as it turns out.

Canada. All of the banks I applied at asked for total assets, including TD and Scotiabank.

I’ve never made 6 figures before, but was asked to show my investment portfolio value when applying for a mortgage as it was part of my assets. Assets the bank could seize if I didn’t pay my bill.

TIL I’m the 1%.

Do you think you are disagreeing with me?

This only sounds bad for people with a love of beer and donuts.

Admittedly, I am included within that group. But if I wasn’t, I could see supporting such variable rates.

It’s neither lol, it’s the people themselves.

Blame choosing to drink alcohol or fly a low cost carrier, but like…really it’s you. Sorry.

Can we…stop yelling?

And that’s why boomers are constantly ‘hacked’.

If you don’t want someone else controlling those things, you do indeed need an account. If you are fine with a physical switch to control lights then just stick to that.

While low risk, I think index investing still counts as gambling. The house maybe too.

Depreciating investments like a car should be ok though.

Race car drivers definitely don’t put both feet on the gas pedal though… Like, what?

Just like it’s not popular in Alaska…

Yeah but guns have become so much more efficient since then!

Naw, they don’t get emotional about work. It’s simply a place they choose to go in exchange for money. I’d worry a lot more about the gossipers and drama people. The people who frame their social life around work…those people scare me.

I’d honestly hire someone who said this lol, they would probably keep their head down and complete their work and then go home.

Meh, I find recognizing I have that ability is actually calming and snaps me out of the depression a bit.

$900 a month is quite affordable compared to hiring a private chef. It’s all relative.

I’m cheap af, but that doesn’t make me ‘right’. If I made $1000/h or something it would make complete sense to pay $30 for a $10 meal each day if it saved me even just 15 minutes of effort that could be put towards working instead. In that case, I’d argue it would be ‘wrong’ and wasteful economically not to use the service.

They didn’t do a proper legalization like Canada though. Just half-assed it.

Don’t underestimate the power of social capital.

Naw, I’m down with exploiting others for personal gain but I simply lack the capital to do so in the same way as the ultra rich.

I’m not going to pretend every low income person is some ethical ideal, because I sure as fuck aren’t.

And that’s why like laws and shit are needed to prevent that exploitation or whatever.

Yep. And I’d argue it’s an almost ethical responsibility for those aware of all this to preserve a media archive via piracy. Sort of like those monks that would repeatedly copy old scrolls before they would degrade or whatever.
