Rutibex posted:negative interest? so i can borrow unlimited money so long as i promise to give less of it back later? the longer i hold the "debt" the less i have to pay? sounds good i'll take 1,000 trillion pounds please it’s a big incentive for banks to loan money essentially, it’s how I have family in Japan that live in an expensive house while not making that much money because if you can get rates below 1 percent that’s free money lol Not sure is Japan is in negative interest still at the moment. when I told them my interest rate for my house in USA they gasped at a super high rate of 4.25( now much lower after refinancing last year)

my current employer’s match is 10% unlimited . it sounds good until you either do the quick math or have worked anywhere else that does like 100% up to X% if you contribute that much. HR tired to tell me how awesome it was and buddy .10 for every dollar I put in is not good.

DMCrimson posted:My hot take on the 529 is that more and more things will be an allowed education-relevant expense and soon, we'll just loving let all childcare funds come out of that dumb 529 plan and let rich people pay no taxes and poor people who couldn't save up will have to pay taxes. Always accurate to expect the worse. that's what the FSA Dependent care is for . Before Covid it probably saved us $700 a year but like every loving plan like this, you need to have the money upfront to pay and then you get reimbursed. Also, some company has your money they can can reinvest in while you have to take time out of your day to file claims to make sure you get that money back. Also make sure your receipt has all of the information on it like tax ids and poo poo. The newer FSA I now use is a lot better with receipts but it's a real chore. Also you can't just be like well this month I'll put in 200 in FSA and next month 100 or whatever. You have to at the beginning of the yearly process tell the provider yeah i want to contribute the full $5k spread out over the year.

Cold on a Cob posted:for those that don't realize what i'm talking about, energy retailers are those door to door people that sign you up for a fixed rate contract. the fixed rate is based on forecasts that let the retailer make a profit so you are almost guaranteed to pay more with a contract for example, if the forecasted avg is $0.1055/kWh they might sell it for $0.1144/kWh with the promise that if the floating market rate goes up you won't pay it. sounds like a good deal but generally speaking it's not - if rates are likely to go up, they already forecast it and built it into whatever rate you pay them. yeah those companies love to hit up poorer communities here, they sometimes dress up like they’re an actual utility and ask to see your bill and then sign you up without consent

Paradoxish posted:, but I'm really skeptical that there's any true reserve of unfulfilled consumer demand right now. it’s all being spent on consumer poo poo right now, there is a reason why I can’t export anything due to the massive import backlog at the ports and dozens of vessels just hanging out waiting to be unloaded and above average empty containers are leaving the USA to get filled in China also since Vietnam and China got their poo poo together with covid their manufacturing got online a lot earlier hell, in KC and Chicago where I send containers at the moment , the rail depots have export quotas now that are filled in like 2 hrs, if you can find equipment maybe after awhile when people pay for experiences again it will be different but these delays are going to be into the late summer definitely

I don’t have that visibility but the BNSF and some other railroads just been straight up embargoing some cargo(like agricultural) in addition to export quotas. everybody that I talk to in our industry are burned out due to this. every week our trade group is like “send a letter to Biden” “ get the fmc involved” like Mayo Pete is going to be equipped to handle this poo poo and lol like any executive of cosco , evergreen, Maersk, etc going to be called up to DC to testify. they would have to be brain dead to get on a plane to congress or agree to a remote hearing. the terminals in USA are just dots on a map. the consolidation of ocean carriers over the past 10 or so years really puts a vice grip on things.

btw I’ve been dealing with this shipping crap for months now , a year ago the issue was lack of vessels or they would skip ports since Asia actually locked down and now for months it’s been that NYT article but they also left out that the railroads are having quotas so i have my truckers waiting days or weeks to turn in loaded cargo it’s basically hosed Midwest agricultural shippers, some ocean carriers flat out banned agricultural bookings from some Midwest locations for awhile , like hapag Lloyd banned ag out of Minneapolis for awhile couple months ago would like to go more at length but I am living this nightmare right now and I don’t know how I’ve avoided a panic attack through this since even though my company is not small we’ve understaffed in my field of intl supply chain so it’s been a real awesome year professionally

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:why would they do this agricultural containers weight a lot more and could displace shipping back empties when we ship ag it is like in lots of 10-25 containers all weighing the max we can load since it’s sold per ton we’ve had temporary embargos in Chicago there is nothing USA can do, there were some shipping act changes under Reagan and Clinton that pretty much allowed carriers to cartel up , I wish I can find citations but it’s what I learned in trade meetings sonatinas has issued a correction as of 16:29 on Mar 8, 2021 |

my container from hell is affected from this, due to logistical issues shipping to west africa back in dec(and now) I found a faster service via west coast via China however I got hit with a random inspection at LGB and us customs took like 3 loving weeks to peek in my container so off it went to China to transload to west Africa where it would be going through the suez but lol owned. should have already been there but whatever . rates to Middle East and Africa have been jacked up because that’s where containers go to hang out for awhile since companies like evergreen can send the empty back to Taiwan or China to get like 10-15k for a box and get it turned 4 times in the same time frame you want to ship to Africa /Middle East.

Bar Ran Dun posted:depending on what your shipment was declared as that destination is going to get you extra attention. an example most carriers that offer service to West Africa will flag vehicles in containers for inspection by a surveyor. CBP I’m sure does the same. yeah, it’s agricultural but it happens . unless my customer wants to pay a lot more I have to use carriers that take forever to west africa.

Bar Ran Dun posted:Global supply chains are going to be less competitive going forward. The container lines are pulling it in hand over fist now. The cheap container freight party is over. trucking has gone up so much right now. Hapag is diverting cargo down to Norfolk due to potential Montreal strike. Chicago is mega congested right now lol. My customers are going to be pissed. My indian supplier advised how much their container costs now and it's jumped $3k additional to USA. Good loving luck if you want to ship to ME/Africa right now too since carriers are jacking those rates up because containers go there to get lost or take ages to get returned.

DoomTrainPhD posted:JFC you can waive inspection? That’s just something you can do? You can just tell the government “Nah man, inspecting this house isn’t necessary, it’s cool, no big deal!” and they will go “lol ok!”? What the gently caress. yeah and it's real bad idea especially in cities where housing stock is mostly pre 1975 homes i expect a lot of affluent people buying these expensive older holes wondering why their kids got elevated lead levels from the old rear end paint.

before covid i'd go into some of the local open houses in my neighborhood of 1920s-30s homes and just look at what windows were replaced or old ones painted a lot but still were functional. If they wren't replaced in the past 40 years and painted i would hope they would be soon or you gonna just get this: https://www.therapidian.org/placematters-grand-rapids-zipcode-49507-sees-40-percent-increase-number-lead-poisoned-children https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2017/11/lead_poisoning_on_the_rise_in.html Mine were replaced in the 90s so I felt pretty good about that. I saw a lot that were not. Lots of beautiful wood painted over probably 50+ years ago.
