Why would a Chinese citizen want Russian citizenship? That seems like, at best, a lateral transfer?

If you have a Republican representative, now would be the time to remind them of their power and responsibility in this situation.

This is on the GOP in congress.

Billionaires keep closing pressure release valves. They seem very much to want to find out what happens if there is no legal means to stop them.

Read everything you wrote again but realize you're talking about the wealthiest dude in the world who was hawking his own shit and this was the result.

He literally has more resources at his disposal than any other human and this is what he produces, I guess as marketing?

What the fuck is going on?

Yep, really depends on your personal feelings around your money.

I am generally a used car kind of guy, but this is how trade-ins work. For some people, they'd rather just not have to deal with selling a car even if they could get a lot more for it. The dealerships provide them that service at a significant cost. 🤷‍♂️

Works just like that. Dealer takes your trade-in, usually paying you a decent amount less than you could get selling it yourself (this is a spot where you have rk make a time value for money decision). You apply that cash to your new car you're buying from them.

The dealer (if they are good) cleans and fixes any issues with the trade-in and either sends it to auction or sells it on their own lot.

The Shawshank Redemption would also like a word.

I ran a BBS back when the computers had to screech at each other and I always described the feeling of the rise of the internet as "moving from a small town to the big city."

I very much appreciate this analogy.
