My experience visiting the Mona Lisa was being disappointed how small it was hanging on the wall, looking even smaller surrounded by all the protective glass, and then even smaller because of how far back the crowd has to stand.
That was a split second thought, interrupted by being aggressively pushed forward so that people behind me could get a better look with their cameras, while I'm pushing back, trying not to trample a tiny kid standing in front of me. Easily the worst part of my visit to France was seeing the Mona Lisa.
Most of the people that talked up the 2nd amendment and that bought a bunch of guns are cheering on what's happening, so they won't fight against it. They're not phonys they're part of the dictatorship. It seems they like when other people get hurt, as long as its not them.
They just don't know history enough to realize, eventually it will be them. Just give it time. The only people that are truly safe from a dictorship are the dictator. Even his inner circle, a dictator will turn on a dime if they perceive disloyalty, or fear being usurped, or you made them look weak by doing a bad job, etc. Literally no one is safe but the dictator, that's generally why everyone is scared shitless all the time during times of dictatorship. No one is safe.
Oh I fully agree, just pointing out another situation where the fair value purposely didn't keep up with inflation to keep people down.
Not accounting for inflation over 47 years, you can contribute LESS now than you could when the 401k was created:
$23,500 today vs $30,000 back in 1978.
with Inflation thats just insane:
$23,500 now vs $148,000 back in 1978.
It gets even worse, look up the 'pull up the ladder after I got here' actions they took since the 70's in the USA. Back in the late 70's you could contribute up to 25% of your salary up to $30,000 a year. Do you know how much $30,000 a year in the 70's is today? $148,000 you should be able to contribute to your 410K if we lived in a fair world.
I noticed this too, him and TokenBoomer posted nonestop about how people shouldn't vote for Biden/Harris, and now that Trump won, they only post the aftermath of their decisions and never information for protests or any info to help get us out of this situation. Just more negative news about Trump doing bad things.
It really does seem like they got what they wanted and are happy Trump is in office, otherwise why bother putting up such a fight before the election and now passively sit by and go 'oh yeah, btw guys, this bad thing also happened today!'
There's no protests, call to arms or any fight in their messaging. I think they absolutely wanted Trump to win.
Not familiar with macbooks, can you replace the wifi card to a supported one? Or is it integrated?
