  • No interest paid to US when swapping back?

    People are saying there’s some billionaire that Trump is bailing out.

  • I wish they were a professor of baths

  • Thanks for the details but as I understand it it’s swapping US for Argentinian currency that then needs to be paid back? So I guess it’s technically giving money in the sense that Argentinian currency is trash?

  • Can somebody please clarify the actual transaction here? We’re not simply giving Argentina this money. It’s a swap or a loan, right? Who know if/when they’ll pay it back, but I think it should be clarified.

  • I think this is a deeper decision than just folding to corporations. Lots of people probably don’t want it either.

    How does one ban PFAS tho? And what does that mean for the consumers? Maybe lots of cooks prefer nonstick materials. It’s so widespread too, how would you effectively ban PFAS?

    I personally do not like cooking on stainless steel pans because it sticks so much. Cast iron pans and woks are good but not for all purposes.

  • You’re right, and it’s because I voted for Harris. Good thing other people were smart enough not to.

  • Yeah I used to have a long commute, and had a Q50. I was leasing my car so didn’t want to take it to the track, nor did I have the money at the time to race it, so it was just vehicle to get me around. Definitely had fun with it, but when I started working from home it just sat there a lot. Got an old SUV for other purposes and had to run it just so the battery didn’t die. Eventually sold it for a newer SUV.

    I get it tho. Don’t need a fancy car. Funny people associate downgrading your car with hard times. I wish my new car was paid off, but I use every bit of it.

  • I hope you find the argument you’re looking for.

  • You are fired up. Good for you.

  • I wasn’t avoiding anything. I just wasn’t talking about it. In fact the post never even asked about why things are the way they are.

    Do tell all knowing one.

  • It’ll just be easier to replace

  • It’s gonna get better. Life is cyclical. You can’t expect everything in your life to be rainbows and sunshine. Times will be hard and out of your control. You have to be prepared to deal with that.

  • Yes. They’re watching from their cozy rooms, on their expensive iPhones, eating their yummy snacks. Gonna take A LOT more for Americans to react like Nepal or Madagascar.

  • I’m no world traveler or political scientist, but of the handful of places I’ve been outside of the US they seem to have just as many same or different problems. I think it’s a grass is always greener situation. Much of the world would trade places with an American if they could. Granted education is a big factor in making that decision, or not.

    Every government is just pulling on different levers and creating different flavors of the same problems. Some people have socialist programs, but spend a lot on taxes. Some people have low incomes, but cost of living is more affordable. Some places have lower cost of living but standard of living is lower. Then you got all varieties of societal stuff.

  • Just wait til we’re cyborgs. How do you express your personality?

  • Wise words. Heroin is okay as long as you stop when it doesn’t fit in your budget.

  • Just another form of expression and status. Think of it like fashion. We “wear” our cars for a big chunk of our lives.
