I disagree with the assertion points 1 through 6 are factual. Those are all extremely broad generalizations based on assumptions you hold. Some of those things do happen on occasion of course, but it’s not a railroad track of 1 leads to 6 with no other possibilities. The financial industry is heavily regulated by the US Gov’t which exerts control to prevent much of 1 - 3 on your list.
Well I’ve lived through poverty and the Debt Trap and worked my way out of it into success and stability, but if you want to ignore my advice that’s your problem. My financial literacy allowed me to buy a house and land.
You have no fucking clue what I know about, actually.
I could ask you the same thing, and it would be bullshit to me, just as whatever I reply with would be to you. From my perspective you’re in some dumbass communist fantasy based on the internet ramblings of children.
Sure thing Lenin, and I am the walrus.
Anyone who has access to the Internet can begin learning the basics of financial literacy right now. That is the only barrier, other than being literate.
Here are some basic tips that could get someone with zero financial literacy started:
Don’t use credit cards unless you can pay them off before interest accrues at the end of the month, otherwise you are wasting money and entering the Debt Trap.
Don’t use Doordash and other expensive delivery services, pick up your own food or make it at home.
Make a budget, which should at least consist of a list of your monthly expenses such as housing, food, utilities, etc, and keep track of what you spend on it.
Subscriptions are leeches, don’t subscribe to anything that you can avoid.
If you have an employer provided retirement plan, always put in what they will match so that you get the full match (free money).
Yes of course it is sustainable. We have the resources to do everything we need for hundreds of years here in the USA without any external dependencies. The disaster recovery and continuity plans and infrastructure are already in place to ensure that the US government will continue through a variety of apocalyptic scenarios.
Actual financial literacy is crucial to success as an adult. You can complain about The System all you want but it will likely still be in place after all of us are bones in the ground, so make use of the resources you can achieve something with.
They finally invented the face-storage device seen in the John Woo masterpiece Face/Off
Degoogle and you might not have to worry so much about battery life. I almost never have to charge mine overnight, just once every couple days when it gets low.
Have you read the source code for the programming for those chips? Do you know exactly how they work?
Voice recognition is highly subjective, and some of you actually trust billionaire’s companies enough to take their word that their devices will only listen for certain special words? Ridiculous.
No politics in this post, only business
I’m in the USA and I get 3 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 2 “personal days” which are also PTO, and more sick time than I am ever able to use up. I think I have over 200 hours of sick leave PTO accrued.
This is not a basic entry-level job though, it’s after climbing the career ladder for years. It would be much nicer for our country’s folks if everyone was allowed as much PTO by all jobs.
No it was quite a lot more than “a marketing guy” - there were pages and pages of details about their Active Listening program on their website, investor presentations etc. They went far into detail about how much they could listen to and what they could do with all that audio data.

That’s a BS reason. I have 2 members of the Baby Boomer generation in my Signal contacts, they use it all the time with no problems. It’s no harder than iMessage to use. They would like it better when they see that Signal doesn’t gimp the image quality between Android and iOS phones unlike iMessage
The problem with closed source apps is you don’t know what else is going on in the background and what else it might have installed or connected to, unless you have debug logs for everything it did and know how to interpret all of that. I wouldn’t install any app from the facebook company on any device I use
Just another reason not to watch them. I don’t want to watch any videos of talking heads. There’s no reason that I need to watch a video of someone’s face talking about anything.
The vagina stretching thing would only happen if the woman had successively larger penises entering each time, so if she had a lot of sex with multiple partners who all had the same penile girth, it should remain the same relative size.
The heckin’est of chonkers
It really seems like you’re imagining a bunch of things I never said anything about, because you want to get on your soapbox and talk more about poverty. Everything I suggested is completely achievable by many of those in poverty, to which I speak from personal experience.
