You dont think Obama in 2008 was a real primary? His campaign fought hard for that nomination, it definitely wasn’t handed to them.
Intel could have conceivably competed with them there too. If they were still a competent business and not in a crisis of mismanagement. Its amazing how much better AMD is managed compared to Intel.
That is the downside, FZROX is only available to Fidelity customers. There’s also a potential risk it won’t track total market performance as well as predicted because one of the ways they keep the expense ratio at zero is by only purchasing what is supposed to be an equivalent subset of the total market to keep their transaction costs down. I don’t remember the specifics but I think they leave out lots of tiny companies and its not a significant risk because they couldn’t actually move the needle one way or the other.
If you have an account with Fidelity, FZROX should be a better choice than VTI. Unless you enjoy investing or want to really get into it, either do a target date fund for the easiest and lowest risk, or a total market fund like VTI, or an S&P500 fund like VOO. You really don’t need to overcomplicate beyond that, except to potentially start buying bonds when you are nearing retirement if you didn’t choose a target date fund.
What specifically are you invested in? That chart doesn’t look right if you are investing as you describe.
21,000+ dead and 100,000+ missing sounds like a war is happening in Saudi Arabia. Those are shocking numbers.
In the future when the cops he trained fuck up, they can point to being trained by this idiot as an excuse to get their department more budget for training instead of getting in trouble for the fuck up.
It is pretty ironic the entire time the gun industry was fueling paranoia about the government creating a database of all the gun owners they themselves were secretly creating a database of all the gun owners.
The passkey on your phone stopped working when you set one up on your laptop? I would expect the site to allow one per device instead of one per account.
It’s ridiculous that he still has a security clearance. Anyone else acting out in the way he has been would have the DOD all up in their shit. It is obvious at this point that he is a threat to national security, his public drug use and unhinged behavior alone should have been enough. Now he is getting hurricane rescue workers threatened and terrifying disaster victims into not receiving government assistance, it’s absolutely monstrous and fundamentally anti-American. That he is also trusted with secret information about US national security and receives billions of dollars from the US government is completely absurd.
If she walks it’s not going to be because she has connections, it’s going to be because the prosecutor engaged in misconduct.
Look into the recent construction of the Turkish consulate in NYC and there’s at least some of the answer.
It has happened before, there’s already a variety of sanctions on China.
I’m surprised to see this getting down voted. The Trump cultists are a powder keg, I wouldn’t feel safe in any building associated with Democrats or the Harris campaign personally. It’s not really a surprise they are shooting out windows, these are pissed off people with guns who believe a bunch of crazy shit. If you’re working in a building like this and you didn’t consider this possibility then you are naive to the reality of what you’re up against.
What are the odds of two billionaires sharing a jail cell? Has it ever happened before? Or I guess SBF is a former billionaire on paper so maybe he doesn’t count. Either way, its nice to see the legal system locking up monsters.
I think part of the problem, at least for me, is the horrible color temp most headlights use now. They are like 6500k hard white light instead of something less harsh like around 3500k that is much easier on the eyes. I think the only criteria they care about when selecting LEDs is maximum brightness so this is what we get.
He is a billionaire with at least one private jet, and they have recordings of him threatening and attempting to bribe witnesses.
Vance is referencing curry because Laura Loomer recently said the White House will smell like curry if Harris wins.
Reading over the details, he is fucked. There’s no way he isn’t spending a long time in prison, probably the rest of his life.
I think it will take longer than that, there’s still a lot of rich people who don’t think Trump will really do the tariffs or the mass deportation. Once it becomes clear that is really happening the economy will likely start getting all kinds of messed up fast.
Also, as others have told you, inflation is actually low again currently and that is why rates are coming down now. This is the “soft landing” that everyone was talking about, just in time for Trump to take the helm.
