That's always been the case that the rural backwater hillbilly sister-fucking areas hate the cities. The same is true in California. But it doesn't matter because there are more people in the cities so they have more power so the yokels can't do shit.

Won't matter to me. We'll leave to US to the Republicans.

Nuclear power is great. But I do wonder if they might be targets in a war with Russia or something. Can they be prevented from meltdown in the case of a missile strike?

My house got hacked when I did this once.

Civil war it is.

So? It's probably worth it at this point. I'd enlist.

Don't have to care about being unconstitutional if you're not part of the union.

I'm sure England and the Loyalists thought it was a bad idea and against the law for America to declare independence. What worked in the 1800s doesn't necessarily work today. The union has outlived it's usefulness.

The constitution means nothing if we successfully leave the country it is pertinent to, whether that leaving is peacefully or violently.

I hate that this dumbed down propaganda is the only thing that works on the majority of our idiotic population.

Next election we'll have to release coloring books to explain to idiots why fascism is bad.

Republicans will use this as a reason to argue that we shouldn't teach climate science in schools.

Congrats! I would say don't sleep on the stock market, especially now since a dip/cliff is really the best time to invest to get a good return, but you shouldn't touch it for at least a decade. Generally over a ten year period the market will give you a rate of return better than a HYSA but may be better or worse across short periods of time.

If there is some kind of economic collapse that happens, it's going to affect a lot more than the stock market. Even regular bank accounts will be affected and if your bank doesn't shut down your US currency may be worth nothing. Especially if they get rid of the FDIC like Trump and Musk want.

It's good to have 3 months to a year of expenses saved in an HYSA to start with as a rainy day fund you can use in an emergency (i.e. lose your job/house, etc.). I think there are some studies that a huge portion of the population doesn't have savings to cover even a surprise $1000 expense.

That's more important than putting money in the stock market to start with but after you have that you can put your savings into an IRA or something preferably in a diversified fund. (Vanguard has a few tgat are specifically targeted for retirement at particular years).
