a pragmatic system of legalized crime through guilds, with the Thieves Guild and Assassins’ Guild handling their respective activities under the watchful eye of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch and the Patrician, Lord Vetinari.

You sick bastard!

If you really want to see fucked up, watch Sybil

Yes, but if she doesn’t keep making more people homeless she’ll be out of a job!

You’re thinking of educated people, the people who hate California could never think things that far through. They are the uneducated masses who eat up what fox news sells them, and then regurgitate it. They’ve never talked to a minority or someone outside their economic class. They know their small reality, and can’t conceptualize a society bigger or more complex than that.

I’m guessing it’s harder to secretly sell bigger subs though. Though I bet it happens.

Also, at some point you couldn’t afford care anymore. So you would have stopped treatment and died.

Yes. The young are reckless causing most of their accidents. We do what we can to prevent those accidents, seems like we could do a lot more. The old have accidents from downsides of aging/slowing reaction times/health issues. We can definitely do more than just hoping their kids take the keys away before it’s too late. One idea is regular driver’s tests starting at a certain age.

Not every 70 YO is the same health. Some can barely see at that age, or at night. There are also plenty of health issues or medications taken at this age which could affect reactions or alertness. Not saying it can’t happen to the young, but it’s far more prevalent.

A convicted murder, who was also suspected of being a serial killer, …

For me, I woke up around 8, got ready around 1230, worked 1400-2200, went to bed around midnight. It’s not 8 hours before work, but enough to ease into the day.

Second shift is the way.

Or like look at the size 3 they currently are wearing.

It has “returned to the mean” as far back as we can look. It doesn’t mean a special year, but as best we can see, it will eventually return to that mean.

It actually matters less to people just starting. At that point it’s more about the number of stocks you buy than the value of them. The value matters later when you have a ton and your contributions are tiny compared to the actual swings.

Knowing the menu, reading your table/having people skills, juggling 4-5 tasks at a time.

I’ve never been a waiter, I could start doing the job tomorrow, but it would still take a few weeks to get really good at it.

They are, but what’s affecting people now is the concern.

Say you’ve been investing for the past 10 years. You put in 5k a year. 5 years ago you had 33k saved after interest. You kept contributing, and a few weeks ago you would have 105k. With the drops in the mark the last week, you suddenly have 95k. You lost 10 grand, which will take you two years to put back in. Not to mention we’re expecting a major drop today, you might lose another 10k in a few days. That is what gets people panicking and selling.

The reality is they haven’t lost anything unless they get out of the market. They still have the same number of stocks, and the value of those stocks only really matters when you sell them.

Most people are losing more than 5000. In the US, stocks and bonds are a big part of most people’s retirement. So people in the 50-60 range average 400k+ in the market. Meaning this last week they have lost roughly 40k.

Over 30 years with the ups and downs it averages 10-12% a year. So while this year will probably be bad, next year or the year after will probably be exceptionally good.

You shouldn’t be invested that heavily in stocks at that age though.

Yea and fucking Jeremy was stirring the clam chowder with his dick again, and this time it was as the inspector walked in! I mean sure, it’s impressive but you can’t let people walk into that blindly!
