01:47 DaemonFC; Brandon Johnson's campaign promises are pretty scary to business.
01:47 DaemonFC; He has not even entered office yet, and just days after he won the election, Walmart fired 1,200 people and bolted.
01:48 DaemonFC; They were on the fence about leaving and waiting to see how the election went.
01:49 DaemonFC; As a large business, they plan for years down the road.
01:49 *darwin (~darwin@7d3n498busjrn.irc) has joined #techrights
01:50 DaemonFC; And they are good at what they do, but Chicago was a gamble. The city already had a lot of trouble and to get Walmart to agree to open stores in neighborhoods that were risky, the city leaders had to make concessions.
01:50 DaemonFC; But it still lost money.
01:52 DaemonFC; Without that Walmart there, other stores in the area and that movie theater will lose sales and they may have to shut down too, due to decreased foot traffic.
01:53 DaemonFC; So it's going to cause the neighborhoods, like Chatham to have giant dead zones where the city approved a massive shopping complex in 2010, and it was gone and dead by 2023.
01:53 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], This is more of the after-effects of the COVID lockdowns.
01:54 DaemonFC; It didn't prevent anyone from getting it.
01:54 DaemonFC; It just destroyed a lot of jobs, even now we still lose jobs.
01:56 DaemonFC; " In Kenya, there are tensions around colorism, class and different ethnicities. But except for South Africa, issues around Black and White identity are non-existent in a lot of African countries, said Karsonya Wise Whitehead, associate professor of African and African American Studies at Loyola University."

01:56 DaemonFC; In South Africa, the government steals White people's property, locks them out of government jobs, and leaves farm animals and crops to die and rot after giving them to people who don't know anything about farming.
01:57 DaemonFC; They have rolling power outages because none of them can figure out how to run an electric grid.
01:58 DaemonFC; Every year since they seized power, the country is getting a lot worse because they're very racist against Whites, and the Whites with the degrees and knowledge to run everything are leaving the country, killing themselves, or on drugs now.

02:20 DaemonFC; She doesn't even know where her 403(b) is.
02:21 DaemonFC; "Oh they send money and I call [such and such a person] when I want some.
02:21 DaemonFC; "They send me statements about how much they're losing."
02:21 DaemonFC; Me: "Why don't you change your investment direction?"
02:21 DaemonFC; Her: "Oh, there's never much in there because I've been taking it all out since I turned 59."
02:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], She didn't respond well when I said "Stop it immediately, quit getting on Amazon, and have them withhold more money in taxes."
02:22 DaemonFC; "And figure out where your 403(b) account is."
02:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I've considered changing the investment direction on Mandy's 401(k), but everything else has done worse than the S&P 500.
02:23 DaemonFC; It's awful out there.
02:24 DaemonFC; "helps reveals"

02:25 DaemonFC; "by one we can say"
02:26 DaemonFC; "Another question: can one actually withdraw a pension early?"
02:26 DaemonFC; You have to prove you're facing a hardship with the Walmart plan.
02:26 DaemonFC; Like sending them a copy of some huge medical bills or an eviction or foreclosure letter.
02:27 DaemonFC; The only reason I put money there is because of the match and tax purposes.
02:27 schestowitz[TR2]; or evidece of fraud :)
02:27 DaemonFC; I don't put more in there than I need to in order to get the 6% match -or- trigger the 50% tax credit.
02:27 DaemonFC; Any more is just gambling with your own money.
02:28 DaemonFC; If 6% works out to about $2400 a year, then $2,400 from Walmart, and then $1,000 in tax cancellation and being in the 10% marginal rate instead of 12%....
02:28 DaemonFC; Maybe it's worth the gamble.
02:28 DaemonFC; But you put in 7%, that extra 1% is all on you.
02:29 DaemonFC; The only way you'd go there is if you're bumping up against the end of the year and need to stay under the threshold for the credit.
02:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Most of the people Mandy works with are basically leaving at least $3,400 on the table by not putting in $2,400.
02:30 DaemonFC; And that would be if you're just earning the starting wage.
02:30 schestowitz[TR2]; i see
02:30 DaemonFC; You let Walmart keep $2,400 and the IRS another $1,000.
02:30 DaemonFC; So if you can turn $2,400 into $5,800, you do that.
02:31 DaemonFC; Well, most don't. They have no idea how our tax law works.
02:32 DaemonFC; The 401(k) won't be a huge source of income in retirement.
02:32 DaemonFC; But it's better than nothing.
02:32 DaemonFC; It may be the difference between not being able to pay your bills.
02:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], The only year I didn't do this was the first year Mandy worked at Walmart.
02:33 DaemonFC; Our combined income was so low that we didn't have a tax obligation anyway.
02:33 DaemonFC; So since the credit is not refundable, it wouldn't have changed anything.

03:53 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], The banks have grown super tight on issuing new credit cards or increasing limits.
03:53 DaemonFC; They haven't lowered our limits on anything.
03:54 DaemonFC; But they will not budge on increasing credit lines or lowering interest rates on existing accounts right now from what I can gather.
03:55 DaemonFC; The lady at the bank said that they wouldn't even consider my request to lower the interest rate because "I never owe them anything after the grace period anyway."
03:55 DaemonFC; But that goes with what I've always heard.
03:55 DaemonFC; They lower interest rates if you like, max out the card and then call and imply you'll have trouble paying.
03:55 DaemonFC; Then it can go down a few points because they're still going to rape you.
03:58 DaemonFC; If you need a loan and make a major purchase, credit cards are so not the best way to do it.
03:58 DaemonFC; You could apply for a personal loan and get 10-12% even now.

03:59 DaemonFC; A credit card may be 20-30%.
03:59 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Almost everyone has a store card.
04:00 DaemonFC; I asked the woman from Capital One what was going on with Walmart and were they going to change or close our card and she said she couldn't comment on that, but if they did change the terms of the rewards structure and take the Walmart branding off, I'd still have to pay any open balance. I said, "Well, yes, obviously I would.".
04:01 DaemonFC; "I just wanted to know if they would like, grandfather in this rewards structure."

04:02 DaemonFC; I obviously would not be saving a ton of money in CDs if I owed credit card people at 30%.

04:03 schestowitz[TR2]; just to pay for debt or money you never had
04:03 DaemonFC; Old bans that were laying around on state books are being overturned now.
04:03 DaemonFC; Or repealed.
04:04 DaemonFC; The Republican legislature in Arizona previously accidentally overturned a complete abortion ban and set a new one at 12 weeks.
04:05 DaemonFC; The courts are siding with an argument that the recent action by the state legislature overrules a law dating back to a territorial government that was imposed by the feds in the 1800s.
04:05 DaemonFC; And the Republicans lost the Gubernatorial election.
04:05 DaemonFC; So they can't easily change the law when they lose.
04:05 DaemonFC; And they also lost the AG office, so the state is no longer defending the territorial law.
04:06 DaemonFC; Wisconsin's Supreme Court just flipped to the Democrats in time to hear a challenge to an 1849 ban.
04:06 DaemonFC; And Michigan repealed a ban from the 1930s.
04:07 DaemonFC; Also, the Indiana Supreme Court has issued an injunction against the state's total abortion ban that was passed last year.
04:07 DaemonFC; Can't see why they would if they were going to agree with the state and let it take effect.
04:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], They ended up banning abortion in far fewer states than they thought they would.
04:08 DaemonFC; Even "easy" ones.

04:09 DaemonFC; That is happening.
04:09 schestowitz[TR2]; true
04:10 DaemonFC; They pushed on abortion and they flipped the balance of power in several states.
04:10 DaemonFC; States that will now go further and repeal a lot of these voting restrictions too.
04:11 DaemonFC; So like, the Republicans have Florida, but did they just lose Michigan and Wisconsin?
04:11 DaemonFC; I mean, it's more trading territory than a decisive win.
04:12 DaemonFC; I can't do much to keep them out of power federally. I made absolutely sure we were counted in the 2020 Census as living in Illinois.
04:12 DaemonFC; Mandy can't vote, but by living in Illinois and being counted here, Illinois has more representation in the federal government.
04:12 schestowitz[TR2]; "One thing that does annoy me about Roy Schestowitz is that he lives in a country thats more well-adjusted, where it seems that even if people struggle a bit, they dont resort to rampant criminality, and he gets to take pot shots from the cheap seats from the UK and act as if shoplifting means they ran out of money and needed diapers, some chicken, a package of carrots, but no. Its so they can run back to their apar
04:12 schestowitz[TR2]; tment that the government pays for between prison stints and watch their new 80 TV, with the Playstation."
04:12 schestowitz[TR2]; Fair point
04:12 DaemonFC; So where immigrant non-citizens live has bearing on how much power that state has.
04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; "His sister recently escaped from Portland after living there for a few years and hating every minute of it. "
04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; No, she is still there
04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; her kids hare it
04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; *hate
04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; she just... tolerates that
04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; because parents do what kids want, right? ;-)
04:14 DaemonFC; Oh, I thought you said she was escaping Portland and coming back.
04:14 schestowitz[TR2]; it's complicated
04:14 schestowitz[TR2]; i hear contradictory stories
04:15 DaemonFC; To be fair, I don't much like what Illinois does, but they scare me a lot less than what Texas or Florida will do.
04:15 schestowitz[TR2]; i don't want to harm her privacy, but i can say
04:15 schestowitz[TR2]; she is back to work
04:15 DaemonFC; So there's no real gain in trying to duck the Census.
04:15 schestowitz[TR2]; her husband got a massive pay cut
04:15 schestowitz[TR2]; and the kids want to leave
04:15 schestowitz[TR2]; she finds that Americans are lying, unreliable etc.
04:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], She's lived in one of the worst places to live.
04:15 schestowitz[TR2]; got a middle finger from another driver on the road just about a week after she came
04:16 DaemonFC; Yeah, tell her to come to Chicago.
04:16 DaemonFC; They got guns here.
04:16 DaemonFC; :)
04:16 DaemonFC; Guns and no FOID cards.
04:16 DaemonFC; Naughty naughty./
04:16 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: sorry for change of topic
04:16 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], The Post Office wanted a second photo ID for my PO Box.
04:16 schestowitz[TR2]; so we've developed some tools for better curating news
04:16 DaemonFC; So I said, "No problem." whipped out the FOID Card.
04:17 schestowitz[TR2]; since you mentioned "Bign News "(did not know such a thing exists)
04:17 DaemonFC; I said "It's a photo ID. Illinois is a government."
04:17 schestowitz[TR2]; you injest like 1000+ sources
04:17 schestowitz[TR2]; then analyse them
04:17 schestowitz[TR2]; and do processing before studying them
04:17 schestowitz[TR2]; so we can also keep up with patents, politics etc.
04:17 DaemonFC; I think the fact that Walmart couldn't make it in Chicago says more about Chicago.
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; the "news" services like Gulag and B0ong are censorship disservices
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; they always were
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; but it'll get worse over time
04:18 DaemonFC; Small business owners were ruined in the "unrest" and had to flee.
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; they exclude more sources
04:18 DaemonFC; Walmart took a while longer to give up.
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; even in the languae desired
04:18 DaemonFC; What is going to happen now?
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; because "hostile" or "fake news" or "rusha"
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; they are filters not for truth
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; but for agenda
04:18 schestowitz[TR2]; in microsoft's case, covering up crime and incompetence
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; <DaemonFC> Small business owners were ruined in the "unrest" and had to flee.
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; this was long in the making
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; bringing millions os slaves
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; emanciupating them
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; giving them no health coverage
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; and talking down on them
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; then voting for shits like Trump
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; to keep them down
04:19 schestowitz[TR2]; and embolden slave owner mindset

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; the class stuff
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; sent this message
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; "
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; A few days ago Standard Life sent a whole bunch of us a formal letter concluding that Sirius had engaged in pension fraud and stole money from us for many years. This is a criminal matter. This if now formalised.
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; My wife and I are coming to collect our funds from NOW: Pensions this week. Please specify the time that best suits you. We live not far from your office.
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; Suffice to say, repeated lying by your staff -- including by managers -- will be duly noted. We trust neither you nor Sirius.
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; The sad thing is that pension providers have helped the perpetrators of crimes, covering up for them instead of working to protect the victims, who are the people's whose money is actually making its way into the accounts of reckless gamblers at the pension firms. Who do you work for? Are you working for employers who commit crimes instead of employees (whose money you are taking)?
04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; Silence on this matter won't help you. Au contraire. Please respond today."
04:26 schestowitz[TR2]; They kept lying to cover up prior lies, in effect lying to me like half a dozen times already. It's circular and when challenged on the lies, more lies follow. Those people are handling (gambling with) people's money. Trillions of dollars are managed by those sorts of firms.
04:26 schestowitz[TR2]; Many technical people suspected something was amiss and when phoning Standard Life we were only obstructed, so in effect Standard Life allowed the fraud to carry on. Standard Life cannot simply pretend to have not benefited from this.
04:27 schestowitz[TR2]; Forgive my cynicism after being secretly robbed for years by my employers whom I foolishly trusted, as did my colleagues (they were robbed too).
04:29 schestowitz[TR2]; The main criminal, the ringleader so to speak, not hides in some 'basement' (by the looks of it, a tiny apartment) somewhere not far from the Gates Foundation.

23:02 TheRealPhanes; i think what's going on there is you've got a whole generation of fuckheads who bought into the educational institution pyramid scheme of the west and are in crippling debt after pursuing degrees that are almost worthless in their field of study, which has contributed to a massive and categorical distrust of authority
23:03 TheRealPhanes; so the degree kids are going in thinking they know more, and, honestly, they end up in management positions because HR is clueless about how this actually works
23:03 TheRealPhanes; so they are rewarded for their error
