This is exactly what I've been thinking... That this Epstein Files event will be used to: 1) to implicate only Democrats / those on the left; and 2) that it may be used as an event to test loyalty where after no Republicans are seen on the list, the admin will go after people like MTG, Josh Hawley, and Steve Bannon... We'll see

Statements like LLFs come across as a lack of critical thinking.

Typically not a fan at all of mental health care, however, I suggest you work on both your depression and anxiety before you spiral. Come to think of it, I imagine most of your friends here are under mental health care—merely an observation based on the rants and emotional outbursts. ;)

I do like the contradiction of Americans enjoying treating brown people "cruelly", contradicted by an increase in foreign-born workers. I take it when you reference brown people, you are speaking of illegals who have crossed the southern border illegally or overstayed visas, thereby breaking the law?

Likely due to an emotional outburst you had. If so, simply paste it here and I'll comment.

The political thread is all about disagreement of people's takes. Your point is what? That I disagree with your takes-that I find outbursts of emotion lacking rational credibility-that I find people who resort to name-calling juvenile?

Tell me where I'm wrong. I've done all those things and will likely do them in the future. Sometimes we all F up. However, when it's a go-to normal response for a person or a group, it's very telling.

Merely my opinion. Have a great day. :wave:

The political threads are all about disagreements, but if he disagrees with you he'll just say your stuck in your ways and refuse to a have a conversation. He hates name calling, but only if one side does it.

Absolutely. I've audited plenty of pension funds and there are a TON of regulations that you need to abide by.

I don't think people should have access to their SS until retirement. Joe Blow will not make the correct the investing choices to direct it, and the government would have to create an insanely large admin department to just handle the KYC requests that would be needed to handle this. The people who do know how to invest aren't counting on the SS to ever mean anything. Up here it's like 1200 a month, so if I get that fine whatever, but the people who need that should absolutely not be touching it.

These pension funds typically don't operate how you or I would, and operate a lot more similar to a hedge fund. They participate in a lot of private market stuff - ie. mezz financing for promising companies. Which can be scary to the average Joe Blow, but the Funds have a lot of oversight. The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan owned shares in the Yankees and Leafs.

A pension plan as large as the SS would not partake in junk bond buying. It would allow the administrator to use it like a Sovereign Wealth Fund and prop up domestic companies while also earning strong returns for it's pensioners. Also, you'd have the absolute best and brightest on Wall Street angling to manage it.

I know the political angle will be "Corporate crony's taking our money to play with" but this is putting the investment decisions in the hands of the right people. Literally the free market working best. OR the Gov can continue borrowing against it to fund wars and only buy shit ass TBills.

Bush tried this. Would be fabulous but this is living in fantasyland. To do so would require the Gov to admit their beyond crappy caretaking of SS and the money is already spent.

At one point I dreamt about managing my SS like my 401k. Then I woke up.

Perfect encapsulation of the FBolt cycle. 1) Someone posts something 2) He doesn't understand or just wants to disagree 3) Posts a quick hitter with condescension 4) When called out, disappears

But yes, everyone else is emotional LOL.
