I believe it, this is new stuff being built, not the entire energy grid. We’re a long way off from completely renewable/clean, but we’ve definitely been building a ton of it recently

it is this weird measure unit used on planet Earth majority of nations. The rest of the galaxy is obviously using the proper units of random feet, as defined by the great emperor of Mars on the year of the horse 10 millenniums ago.

Being robbed of 12.4% of my income for a ponzi scheme that will be insolvent in 10 years seems like it's really serving me /s

am i the only one seeing hairy robert downey jr. as iron man

Funnily enough, BMI isn't actually unitless. It has the units of kg/m^(2).

The bonds that the trust fund holds are a unique series issued to the trust fund. You cannot buy them anywhere else. Makes it easy to default on them without harming the value/credit associated with other US bond series.

"The full faith and credit of the United States" is valuable only for as long as we can levy sufficient taxes to cover our bills. After that point, very bad things start happening very quickly.

I've been advocating for privatization since the Reagan administration. As things stand right now, I and my cohort are about to take it in the shorts because propaganda beats facts.

I hardly believe it. It’s very difficult that clean energy can non renewable sources as the available data shows

That really sucks.

I think, with this data, if I were single, I would switch to focusing on black girls as sort of a moneyball exploit of a market inefficiency.

I wonder if it is just pair matching, where black women too are way more likely to swipe right on a black guy, and it’s just that there’s an uneven distribution of ethnicities?

If an app had 100 guys and 100 girls, and people were 33% likely to swipe on similar skin color, but only 10% likely to swipe right on different skin color.

If 90% were white and 10% were black, the white people on average would get 10 white matches (90 x .33 x .33) and 0 black matches (10 x .1 x .1).

Black people would get 1 black match (10 x .33 x .33) and 1 white match (90 x .1 x .1).

Either way it’s basically racism/prejudice. But it’d less terrible if it were reciprocal, rather than one race rejecting the other disproportionately.

Actually, I was curious, so I looked it up.

It turns out that black women do strongly prefer black men over white men, to a slightly strong degree than white men prefer white women.

What’s missing is the black men do not seem to prefer black women. It’s one of only two exceptions to people preferring the same race aside from white men slightly preferring Asian women.

The most mutually disagreeable combination seems to be asian men and black women who just avoid each other like the plague.

It seems like the most charmed life’s are Asian women, Latina women, and white men.

And, you’re absolutely validated in your assessment that black women get it the worst.

You’re all speaking in tongues. What is this cm kg jibberish?

I’m so glad we improved the program back when we thought government ought to serve the people.

If it got to that, then you have to add whatever they print out as a bailout “to restore faith in the American banking system.”

And Grindr, apparently...but I not sure which is least exploitative, fortunately not needing to use those myself!

Exactly that cost curve is going to continue going up and the income isn’t going to trend the same way. Currently the fund is collecting 95% of what it needs to pay annually. If we run a 5% deficit against the trust, the trust will be emptied in 20 years. Because the of the difference between incoming money and outgoing benefits the trust is expected to be exhausted by 2033-2035.

It can be solved at anytime, but solutions today will be far less painful than solutions in 2032

FDIC does not keep enough money on hand to fully insure all banks, you know... they really only have about $128b which is < 2% on the entire US banking industry.

What everyone fails to realize as they are arguing is that - multiple Presidents have used the SS Fund as their own personal piggy bank for projects. I believe it was Nixon that first took the lid off this (don't quote me) and made it so the government could take from this for other projects. If we put the lid back on, problem solved.

Keep it under $250k, pal :)

Yeah that’s possible. I’d really want to see how much of their deposits are from accounts under $250k vs Commercial.

Congratulations on being a top>5% in attractiveness. That amount of matches is absolutely fucking insane.

We know that by 2035 something will have to give. Everyone who is going to pay into it is born already, and we know who will be retiring and how long they will live on average between now and then.

Unless we drastically increase our young legal immigrant labor force, increase retirement age, reduce benefits, or add funds another way, that Asset Reserves line will start and exponential decline.

It isnt a trivial matter, but if we do something now, it may never be an issue. But it is a real and valid problem that is getting worse everyday.

Great results! I'm in a big city and get a lot more matches, but end up on fewer dates. I get bored really easily and have also been ghosted, too. I've done 3-4 dates in the past months and almost instantly lose interest, as at my age (39), most people have some pretty heavy baggage that turns me off. I'm still happy as can be single, but wouldn't mind finding that special partner.

Is it possible to scale the dots based on size of total deposits?

[removed]

Yeah I think it’s wild that one company owns all the apps except bumble. I do think of the apps in the match group portfolio, hinge is the least exploitative?

I'm confused. Is social security going broke or not?
