I'm almost in the middle of the quadrant. I think in the good ole days that was called a social libertarian. I'm really not surprised.
Sometimes I think that, whatever little time he actually worked when he was in the Whitehouse, he worked at maneuvering a way to transfer money from the US Treasury to the Trump bank account. (While his family worked on maneuvering a way to exploit …
Not quite my case. They owe me; I don't owe them. I was just trying to make a funny and guess I failed. Anyway, after my husband died in 2022, they pulled my unprocessed 2021 return to process "manually". After that who knows what they did with it. …
Does that mean I have to forgive the IRS their penalty for not completing processing for my on-time 2021 return? (I finally asked my Congress Critter's staff for help with this.)
@davidrmoran Delaware state retirees don't get COLAs. The legislature can vote an increase or a onetime bonus but rarely does and never is it guided by inflation considerations.
The society needs to let the science run where the science goes and divert their own energy in coming up with ways for all humanity to share the rewards and establish a equitable way of patrolling the direction of the applications.
In the town I live in the median price of a house is currently a little more than 10x the median household income. Even if $500K is excessive, the younger you are, the more you need to just sustain a middle-class existence.
I've started doing returns through Kohl's. I take the stuff to them along with a printout of the QR code Amazon generates. Kohl's usually gives me a discount coupon to use inside the store. Never gave them a sack of broken glass though.
Just another one of those rich people who are beyond the world I live in and pretty much can do whatever they want. Some people like some of them. I kinda like this one. I don't know much about otherworld ethics, admittedly.
Relax, somewhere there is the real.... I died and this is my hell; you continue in a sane, alternate life, not my eternity where I just drug my memory of you. Believe me, it cannot be real....
The trend of the thread DID take me there. I was thinking that all the "young", well younger, fund-alarmers are getting old. Then I thought of Ted who inspired the Comments+. Getting toward Christmas and I miss Farmer Ted most around Christmas.
I just don't hold with high political offices being reserved because of, as Catch so eloquently phrased it, "race and genitalia".

@msf I think pre (in brackets) is my favorite html tag at MFO. Not perfect, as you acknowledged. But it makes the cleanup in Column lineup much easier.
Sven, If you scroll down at your link there is a copy button for HTML. I clicked copy and then pasted it in this comment. This is what I got when I posted it.
M* Rekenthaler mentioned exposure to international as one of the main drags on target-date retirement funds in a column this past summer.
Just thought I'd try to show what a dragging portfolio Vanguard's recommended retired fund has been the last …
I haven't looked at DARPA efforts for years. I briefly reviewed proposals for them (eons ago) and had a small startup effort funded that wasn't renewed. I am pleasantly surprised if they are getting back to their original mission. For a while, at th…
