The money is denominated dollars or other currencies. So if you get say 2.9 percent, but actual inflation is at a much higher rate, 7 percent, you are losing money. You can buy much less stuff than you could have before you put it in there.

Most Americans have a log in with at least 10 options they can choose. I dare say nearly all do.

Everybody who doesn’t live forever “times the market”. Your not describing discipline, you’re describing FOMO. If you believe the AI Bubble premise, and you had discipline you’d keep a lot of cash. Like Berkshire does these days. I call that “timing the market”.

Everyone of these folks can move full allocation to various options like money market or bonds, or international growth, etc. and they should. Oh and after the bailout begins, get out of that money market, because it will be the toilet paper market then.

Is he cooked? Is he even in custody?

Excuse my surprise here. I know nothing about this case. I never saw the tv show and don’t know this person. But, I am so surprised this rich famous guy gets 30 years when my entire 50 plus year life has been constantly peppered with stories of randos getting community service and probation for raping women, and even children. More than one of them have recieved supreme court appointments. What percent of convicted rapists get sentenced to 30 years or more in the USA? I asked AI and it claims less than 4%. Was he not in the right frat or something? Like, remember Brock the fratboy who raped an unconcious woman in a dumpster enclosure and got let off? I don’t understand what goes on, and I don’t trust it. That symbol of blind justice has a terrible conotation in this context.
I’m perhaps being too edgy, forgive me. But, you must see that even if this guy deserves 30 years, which I am not disputing. How is there such a wild variance in American “Justice” ? Its just wild to me.

Wow. You just said “guillotine” and you are aren’t going to be banned for it. Welcome to the fediverse!
I’m already sick of all the back slapping. This is the first time I ever thought of these words. But, really, it’s “thank you Trump”. Now get something done Democrats. Focus on shit that will come to fruition in two years. And don’t make it “we’re going to cut everyone a check”. And don’t make it an endless slog subpoenas and grandstanding. I’ve got a suggestion: breakup SpaceX and nationalize Starlink. They’ve already proved they are a national security threat.
