Hahaha this. I remember watching a video where an art critic tries to explain this work without saying "it's early erotica". Was it sister Wendy Beckett? Drawing a blank, this was in middle school art history class.

Yes OXSQ is a BDR firm I like. IEP is Carl Icahn's conglomerate that yields 15%.

Anything less than 20% is what you're looking for. If you expand to foreign markets like the UK, they're entire stock market is set up to prefer dividend payments over share price.

I avoid miners and commodity stocks like rio tinto though I did time the commodity boom correctly to get their fat dividend they had not that long ago.

When everyone is expecting a recession, one does not come.

Expecting higher inflation and flat to slightly reduced growth (aka stagflation). Find dividend paying stocks that actually keep up with inflation (10-20%). They exist and have track records of maintaining this pay out, you just need to find them.

Maybe, just maybe instead of liveable wages we should be asking why the hell are our fixed costs so high? How about instead of jacking up wages, we lower the costs that make those untenable wages tenable. Start b eliminating real estate investors and forcing landlords OUT of residential real estate entirely. Gasp I know, denying monopoly cash to the parasite class.

Ok, so I'll have chatgpt write my 15 page research paper with citations. I'll then spend 1.5 hours rewriting and proofing it as opposed to the multiday researching, outlining, and writing I used to have to do.

And with all of that extra time, I'll study for your "exams".

Just replace chatgpt with Wikipedia, did this for 4 years of uni and another 2 at an ivy n school. No one was the wiser and now I have a cushy MBB job to show for it.

Look at Paris Hilton. Do you think she cares about subjects she doesn't know whilenshe gets chauffered around on her rolls Royce, eating meals made by a personal chef, in her Beverly hills home?

The answer is no. A life of material richness vs being poor and highly educated. Ask a postdoc this question and I bet the majority would take lifetime wealth to having to slave away in a lab.

I went through college using Wikipedia to not only make my outline but also provide citations. I'd then rewrite the articles in my own word. This greatly reduced the amount of preparation needed prior to writing. No shame, the majority of research papers done in unis are silly and regurgitation. Really technology is just getting good at eliminating busy work which will be the death kneel of liberal arts. Double rant: college is largely a waste of time for liberal arts classes.

Sounds like I triggered an academic. Do us a favor and get the COVID vaccines. It's "safe and effective" like running untested code directly on production.

Honestly, anything that makes ivory tower alphabet soup credentialed academics seethe is a good thing.

I'll make sure to add this one to my watch list.

Because 4 hour work days aren't tenable. Here's a novel concept Why do we have 7 day weeks?

Why don't we have a 6 day week with a 2 day weekend? That way we get the benefit of 4 working days, we can standardized the calendar to not have this 31, 28 day nonsense (30 days only), and more importantly working day lengths stay the same. We just get to the weekend faster.

I propose the day to be deleted be Saturday because Saturn's mythology is a righteous c*nt.

Here's a calendar of what a 6 day week would look like https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/calendars/images/9/93/Cale...

The "disabled" metric is a joke. A lot of NEETs aren't really disabled and are gaming the system with fake diagnoses and are outright lying.

There's a whole class of these guys who have basically retired on the state dime and use MGTOW tropes like blaming women, the work force, home ownership, etc to justify their laziness.

I used to be sympathetic but when you meet these guys, they're basically a "big rock candy mountain" hobos and have a myriad of personal problems they refuse to fix since the state freebies make it possible to live this way.
