Cheap rent talk: my first apartment in Dayton was $395/mo with heat included. This was 2010ish. Forget how much sqft, maybe 500? It was tight. I'm sure I annoyed the piss out of the neighbors with the constant weed smoke and drunken vomiting.

bob dobbs is dead posted:70% of salary goes into the ol vanguard and when the vanguard peeps call to ask how i wanna vote on poo poo i tell en to rely on the immortal science of marxism imo the votes are actually important. now i know what everyone says, it's all a formality, most of it isn't binding anyway, and you'll virtually never be wrong if you simply assume that all management proposals will pass and all shareholder proposals will fail. but consider the position of the major index fund managers. they own large amounts of all the public companies, but how can they exercise their influence? they can't sell the stock because it's in the index. if larry fink tries to tell some ceo what to do, why should the ceo listen? ultimately the votes are the only reason. so this is why stuff like engine no 1 matters

i minored in poli sci and the classes i took for it were mostly rad. but i was a lil activist dude and since i wasnt majoring in it didnt have to take anything i didnt want to. minors were set up so you had to take 4 non-intro (i wanna say 300-level or above, but it might've been 200-level) classes. but my advisor hooked me up so i mostly skipped intro classes. and thats how you end up with four minors lol
