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.
Straight out of Futurama:
"Did many people drive in new York city, Fry?"
"No way! There was too much traffic!"
Lmao those were real?? I've gotten a bunch of those and assumed it was scammers taking advantage of people. I mean I guess it still is scammers, just didn't realize it was coming straight from the horses mouth. Taco? From the tacos mouth?
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.
Hah! Jokes on you, I'm finishing up my play through of dungeon siege before starting any other games this time! I will probably resinstall it after this though...
Shhh, let them keep getting caught
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.
