I haven't checked yet but I spent my evening last night completely rebalancing my 401k and IRA to international stocks and municipal bonds.

If all goes well, my 401k should be executed by now. My IRA I have to do myself but that should be done tomorrow.

InsideNoVA article confirms with link to the university twitter account confirming the action.

PDF is at least kind of permanent. Most restaurants that have qr code set up usually have "surge pricing" that allows them to change their prices on a whim.

Even if there was, look who's in power. Even if judges ruled against Heritage, I'm not holding my breath of them getting any sort of accountability.

Your experience will depend on the instance you're on and the concept can be a challenge to explain to reddit refugees.

I'm very careful how much I support violence on .world for example because they take a "both sides are the same" approach to discourse (aside: they seem to be doing better but I'm not holding my breath).

Your instance (.zip) seems to be better than most.

This chillingly reminds me of the quote in The Hurt Locker.

"I either defuse the bomb or it's not my problem anymore."

If you die, it really isn't your problem anymore. But if you're alive, then you have to have food, shelter, and all that annoying stuff.

We need more young people to run in general. They can hire people to handle social media but we need people who are going to be directly impacted by the laws they pass.

As of tomorrow, my 401k will be 75% in international stocks, 15% municipal bonds, 10% domestic stocks.

I'm making similar moves in my IRA but can't for the life of me see an easy way to make the same changes.

Welp...upper half of the Family Guy color chart.

Serious question though: what happens if this letter hits your spam and you never see it?

Edit: from the article:

Frantz also says DHS has apologized “profusely” for the error, but he’s still frustrated that it happened in the first place.

He also says if you or anyone you know received a deportation letter by mistake, take action before it’s too late.

I felt like Matrix Resurrections was kind of a circle jerk against itself.

Boss: "Mr. Anderson. We want you to write a game for this old franchise"

Neo: "but it's dead. Why don't we make something new, and exciting."

Boss: "💵"

It's a situation where it's a combination of "it works for me so this is how it should be for everyone" and "the world would be so much better if everyone acted this way".

On the surface it makes sense.

But it's almost passive aggressive oppression.

If we have fair elections. If we have decent candidates running. If we assume Trump is going to go willingly.

That's a lot of ifs
