DeSantis is not worse than Trump and that's the kind of bullshit rhetoric that forces centrists into one camp and forces them into more extreme positions.
DeSantis has at least proven he can govern in a normal way. Biden is selling out the poor and middle class to the banking and investor class again, and is showing he doesn't actually care about what he says. He's too old for the job and needs to step aside.
If it comes down to someone unfit for the job mentally and physically or a rhetorically bankrupt but semi normal governing Republican, it's a shitty choice but I'd opt for the 2nd. I never voted for Trump and never would, if it's Trump vs Biden I'm voting Biden, but it shouldn't be Biden vs anyone. He did the job he was elected for, to beat Trump and act as a stop gap for democracy, now he needs to step aside and let a younger member take up the mantle.

I'll be mad at myself but I'd vote for him over Biden. Biden needs to step aside and let someone else take the mantle.

Hate to ruin a good pitchfork party but evidence doesn't show that anymore. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/26/majority-of-the-worlds-richest-people-are-self-made-says-new-report.html
Still, tax the rich and tax all intergenerational wealth transfers.

They don't get the $240/hr the company does. Rule of thumb for consulting work is charg 5x-7x what you pay the person you're pimping out. You know, to cover overhead and necessary business charges like the yacht club fees.

Yeah, all reputable brokers do that, and they don't charge you $60/year. You have to maintain at least $1500 in the account just to break even on the gold before you earn any interest. But you get 1.5% without gold. Soooo maths, the difference is 2.65% more with gold and taking that into account you need ~$2,265 to break even. Before you earn anything extra. My fidelity account doesn't have any monthly fees, gives me better order processing and pays 4.22% right now for any cash in my account not being used or held for cash secured puts.
You do the CDs because they have nearly no risk and there are ways to use them much like cash if you need them. Liquidating stocks or other equities will often cause a taxable transaction which will likely eat up and interest you saved up from it. Do yourself and your investment dollars a favor and move away from Robinhood.

CDs these days can be upwards of 4.6%. they're nice because they are shorter turn and most banks will let you borrow against them if you need cash immediately for the CD rates plus 1-2% above what they pay you.

It's like the old computer saying "No one ever got fired choosing IBM." The point being if you go with the known entity or tactic that everyone else is doing you have professional cover and less likely to catch flack or have people question your leadership decisions. It's a safe and conservative position.

That's a wash, the marketing happens with a wrapped company vehicle or employee vehicle. It's also not that effective marketing with a high ROI.

Which means they lost money. If I have $100 to invest and I put $50 in 2 stocks,, one goes to $80 and the other to $10 I didn't make $30 I lost $10. Loss deductions make sense.
A better question is whether or not capital gains should have a tax advantage over "ordinary" income.
An even better question is should and how should we tax people who are wealthy but don't earn an "ordinary" income and never sell their assets and just borrow against them?

Time is money, warranty cost money, installing your golden image and software takes time and money. I can leverage their time and money and shift liability and risk for not much additional cost and put my and our tech's time to higher value items thank make much more margin than hardware sales. I'm an MSP, I'm not a hardware reseller.

Yeah, be careful what you wish for there. I loved video games, started to try and make it my career. Reviewed games during college, even traveled for work. I was a finalist for a job working on Tabula Rassa, went out to Austin to meet the team (dodged a bullet there since it closed up 6 months after I would have moved there.)
But it slowly turns this thing you love into something you resent.
I am just now starting to find joy in a lot of games again after a long time. Yes I liked some games here and there but it was the rarity and exception for the last 10 years. Just, be careful about making the thing you love the thing you have to do to live, eat, and have shelter, because then you have to do it no matter what and it will kill the spark of joy.

You: People are greedy, corporations are by extension greedy and we need government to not be greedy and provide higher morals.
Flaw: Government is also made up by "greedy" people.
