I am no CFA or professional Ivy League finance person but the envelope math tells me approximately 14K people are about to lose 70% of their investment.

I have a question for you about the savings rate for ATC. Is it possible to have too high a savings rate, in terms of both planning for a comfortable future and enjoying experiences now (for me it’s mostly travel to foreign countries).
Also, how does a pension figure into the savings rate?

We just went sole source power bi for our shop. More of a financial and utility decision than an aesthetic / data decision. Lower data proficiency organization so it was a fair trade off, but I can see wanted more “umph” (so to speak) in our visualization tools.

Thank you. I knew there was a word, but figured my long winding answer would suffice

How much of this is WWE “beef”? Much like the Iron Sheik and Hacksaw Jim Duggin being rivals and then getting caught in a car drunk together when the cameras were off?

We also use the suburban home as a graphic how things got bigger than we needed.

I agree. Ever since I read hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, I wanted a babelfish.

To me language is one of those things that require being present. I’m sure a device will be invented that can sort of do the job, even seamless, but shit what do we miss out on offloading that to a program.
Just another obstacle to real human connection.

There is a great book called “A More Beautiful Question” one of its central tenets is that information is cheap and inquiry is valuable. Changed how I looked at both my approach to work and learning.

You’re discussion with Sarah on The Secret Pod was one of the best. This idea that it’s the culture really has me thinking about how do we navigate that instead of people. Culture is the consistent actions of people, so maybe it’s less changing hearts and minds than it is engaging arms and legs.

Counterpoint - We don’t have the racial animosity the Tea Party had. I guess we could use class but politicians did a hell of a job dividing us along those lines as well.

He should threaten to not support the OBBB and its tax cuts for those greedy CEOs.
It would be the ultimate 4D chess move.

Heh… my adult car is 7 year old Toyota. Cars are definitely a “good for you, not for me” product.
I will take the great mileage, low maintenance car and use the savings on travel

Aristotle:
“We are what we repeatedly do”
Not sure how we get the public to stop believe words and put more weight into actions/character, but failing to do so has been detrimental to us.
This is not sky falling, just wanting us to be better.

This is a sharpen the pitchforks response. Hard to be a fan of markets, when those that have so fucking much fail to realize that those just trying to make good on years of toil would like to retire without worry.

It might make me look old but good coffee doesn’t need anything else…
… although I do have a cortado from time to time.

I feel this. My grandmother grew up in the depression, and the knock on effect being a scarcity mindset and protecting principle.
My grandma had a saying “make a dollar, save a dime”. I am mathematically saving a quarter these days. I worry I won’t spend in retirement, even though my plan is solid

My only worry is they still have a narrative that at a certain price will back stop the losses.
