$300 Billion is both a huge sum for the individual, and a tiny sum for the world economy.

Lead by example, educate, and leverage.

Lead by building or converting one town to car free and 100% renewable.

Educate people on how to improve the world. Creating or buying radio and TV stations, producing entertaining programming.

Leverage by buying large fractions of companies to change their policies. Setup investor funds to do the same. Ensure all people I employ are paid well and treated with respect.

Oh shit

I asked similar a while ago.

There are packs setup for teaching the card game. “My first battle”.

I have a card shop nearby with low quality, loose cards for cheap. Find one near yourself and take the kid shopping. 😁

Learning where your money goes.

Fill your time with free things that you think are healthy. Walk. Invite friends over. Go to the library and get something for the night (book, movie, video game).

The more free things you do, the less time spending money.

Someone else’s opinion of me is none of my business.

It may still hurt, but maybe not.

Impact?

My company sells services to companies trying to implement it. I have a job due to this.

Actual use of it? Just wasted time. The verifiable answers are wrong, the unverifiable answers don’t get me anywhere on my projects.

Moved forward large purchases that cannot be delayed 5 years.

I am not changing my investments. My predictions on market impacts tend to be wrong. The stock market and the economy are not the same thing (market can be up during recession).

I am working to get healthier and update vaccinations. I don’t know what is coming but being able to run, climb, and lift are versatile.

There are a number of ineffective charities. I wouldn’t donate without vetting.

Edit: Okay so the scam could roughly be like this. Legitimate company funnels donations to a charity run by CEO’s spouse. Charity funnels 90% of funds to “overhead”, 10% goes to specially selected recipients.

Payday loans.

The smart part is realizing the havoc payday loans inflict on one’s finances.

We are. Just in opposing directions, imperfectly, and poorly.

Have you considered joining a group of like minded people with whom to coordinate? That might move the needle in your preferred direction.

Sure. Not as a regular thing, but as a fast meal before a long drive through an area with few options.

I wouldn’t suggest it daily.

Stop blaming Biden for shit he didn’t do. Microsoft has been an illegal monopoly for decades.

Yes.

By Planning.

I didn’t think it would work for the first 10 years. I just wanted to eat better cat food in retirement.

Pursuing higher paid jobs when I can. Changing jobs periodically. Pursuing higher pay until the pay asked for my soul. Then stepped back, changed jobs, and make way more for less.

Paying down debt when possible. Building up to a constant dollar figure of debit and investment per month. Growing that when I can. I now save 40%+ of my income.

Keeping my spending low by prioritizing my time on free things. Prioritizing the money I spend on high pact purchases.

Planning with 4% rule. Works out to needing 300 times your monthly spend in savings. Driving that number down. A $15 a month expense requires $4,500 invested to support.

A great market runup.

I am glad I did too. My friends are dying. One’s 40’s are rough.

Fascinating article. Baiting the right to read it, then dropping truth on them?

Jenna Ellis, a suspended lawyer who used to work for Donald Trump and who pleaded guilty to “aiding and abetting false statements” in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia, posted an article of Biden biting a baby on X, writing: “How is this real?”

I don’t know what you do, so this may not help.

Sometimes the exhaustion is more habit and expectation. If you don’t go home one day, do you have more energy? (Just answer to yourself.) Like one week you were exhausted, but then home became exhausting by habit.

Honest Answer: Legal requirements.

Local offices have more competition.

What mass transit program is Musk trying to disrupt now? (As he did California’s high speed rail with the Hyperloop.)

Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.

For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.

(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)

engaged to be married

Gonna be weird when the ‘spouse’ changes in the photos.

Any bets on why the fiancé was not in photo?

Thank you for the reference link.

China has one hell of a note on that page:
