      I got a letter in the mail from some company telling me that my local hospital's database had been breached, and to call them to check on it and protect myself. It seemed legit, so I called. They told me I could get "4 years of protection for free".... all I had to do was give her my full legal name, full address, social security number, and a credit card number.

      I hung up.

      Many times, it takes money to make money.

      This!!

      I often think of the example. If someone has $1000 USD and gets a 10% return, he makes $100 USD

      If someone has $1,000,000 and gets a 5% return, he makes $50,000 USD

      And if that happens year after year..........

      @Mik said in Inflation's not so bad..:

      What good will rising low income wages do if it's just eaten by rising prices?

      Exactly!!! Seems pretty obvious. If you are making 5% more but paying 10% more for things.........

      Well, you do the math. LOL

      Actually that math only really works if you spend everything you make. If you have a margin of saving power then inflation that includes salary could still work to your favor. But people generally do spend everything they make, so your point mostly holds.

      Where’d he post? Haven’t seen it.

      He posted twice very briefly, just a few words expressing agreement or whatever. Said something very nice to Jon about his new chairmanship. Easy to miss.

      It’s worth mentioning that she quit talking that way once she got on the court

      Did you just tag yourself?

      Yeah. I’d hit me.

      Really though I was on the phone and it was easier to hit the reply to the last post (mine) then the general reply button which gets obscured sometimes.

      Is Miami safer than Chicago?

      EDIT: To answer my own question,

      Miami has a higher per capital gun violence than Chicago and

      Florida as a state has a higher per capita gun violence than Illinois.

      The guy that shoots you in Chicago will at least speak English, more or less.
