So no.

MS and AR even have more lenient marijuana policies. At best, TN is slightly better than Alabama.

I like that idea, because it taxes people with stocks and not those without. Like taxing smokers, you only pay if it's your vice.

But that's effectively a tax in the wealthy so it's never going to happen.

Just go to taco john's. God drat

Taco Johns is the whitest goddamn "mexican" restaurant. You might as well have said Del Taco. They're based out of Wyoming, famously known for their hispanic populati... Oh, it's mostly white people.

I mean, if you like ground beef, lettuce and cheese mashed in a corn shell with no seasoning or spice or even the slightest sensation comparable to that of a heating blanket on low, right on, but then you probably live in the midwest, where salt, pepper and butter are as good as it gets for seasoning and spices.

Someone should start a competing chain to taco bell and just use all of taco bells' thrown out recipes and menu items.

I was in the market for a used car at the beginning of the pandemic and seem to remember a lot of people speculating that the used cars would drop in price as it went on.

am I not remembering this right?

Are you not remembering the Hertz rental car stuff where they initiated bankruptcy and then tried to sell a lot of their fleet at pretty much straight retail used prices? Even used rental cars in a bankruptcy firesale are overpriced.

There are no deals.

Also cash for clunkers took a lot of good jalopies off the road, and crushed them into useless cubes before salvaging any useful parts. Granted, that was a decade ago, but that was also the last time you could reliably find old Camrys for $2k and Hyundais for a grand.

You can try your luck at hail damaged and salvage title cars. I drive a hail damaged car. It's fine, after replacing the engine for reasons not related to hail. And I live in Colorado so it's bound to happen eventually, just beating mother nature to the punch. Not going to be able to finance a salvage title though.

I grew up in the ocean of corn between Kankakee and Champaign. You don't have to tell me about it, I'm aware.

But I mean, significantly loving cheaper out there, and it's not a complete wasteland of jobs. The pay is crap comparably, but if you want a big dumb cheap farmhouse with so much space your heating bill becomes larger than your mortgage in the winter, then rural Illinois is perfect for you.

Yeah but if you have to commute in a rural area, why the gently caress would anybody choose Illinois over west Michigan when west Michigan is just just as cheap with 100% less boring corn fields, cheaper sales and property taxes, and lax gun laws?

I live in Colorado now, so I couldn't tell you why someone would stay willfully in Illinois. Hell, I left in '99. Tennessee sucks, too, btw.

Every once in a while I look at houses around where I grew up. $50-100k is a livable house there, but then small town property taxes kick in and half your mortgage goes to it. Whole loving region is a mess of old people because everyone under 30 has fled. Just collapsing under their own weight.

We have those cults in Colorado too. It's the one time county sheriffs are useful.

Not even kidding, San Luis Valley just wrangled up a few killers after finding 3 sets of remains on a desert lot. Bodies were identified from teeth found in a fire pit.

the weekend is for setting up hot new trades for Monday morning not this

we make money moves here

anyways

the solution to overdraft fees is to never ever use debit or checks and just put poo poo on credit
and then remember to pay off the credit charges before they come due

if you can’t do the latter you can lie spectacularly on your application about your income and maybe they give you a $10,000 credit limit

and then, I mean, if we were in better times you could go to the dog races or something

My poo poo solution to avoid a bunch of overdraft fees was to pull a bunch of cash to pay bills with. Yeah it still sucked paying an overdraft fee, but it was one for a $400 cash withdrawal at the ATM instead of 6 trickling in when poo poo was paid on my card.

I had/have poo poo credit and I was in the middle of a divorce at the time. No one was going to give me another credit card at the time. My finances are fine now.

The real financial trick is to have your only source of income be untouchable veterans benefits. But you have to have been dumb enough to enlist first.

it's my understanding that this doesn't actually work as well as it should because nowadays you can't park your RV just anywhere and finding a spot ends up costing you "rent" anyway

BLM land. You can camp for two weeks for free on patches of land (overwhelmingly out west) owned by the government. When that two weeks is up, you pack up and move to another chunk of BLM land.

You're not holding a job while doing that, though.

Lot rents around here (Colorado Springs) are loving hilarious at camp sites. Like $700-800/mo before any electric or water fees. That's lovely 400 sq ft apartment money.

Fed interest rates. They're effectively nil, so your savings account interest is going to be lower than that. Why pay you .009% interest when the Fed rate is .01%?

Not actual numbers but the point is the same.

It's actually a joke because Iron Mountain is a big corporate shredding company

it's more funny that cramer is just pwning all his wall street peers

And archives. They store all sorts of poo poo for rich people and corporations. I had a pre-construction gig once and had to do a bullshit survey of one of their facilities. The place was a mix of corporate documents, pieces of art, first editions of rare books, original recordings to a bunch of music around a century old, that kind of stuff. It was a pretty curious place that just happened to have giant shredders. If you have money and want to pay someone to store something in specific conditions, Iron Mountain will make a space and charge you a bunch of cash to keep it in their facilities.
