Is that just the bubble ‘porn’ that went viral in the 2000’s?

It disappeared now. When COVID hit I upped my contribution just to max out when the market was at a low.

The only way for the 401k to disappear entirely is if the entire economy is royally, never before seen fucked and completely collapses. At that point retirement if probably not a possibility anyways.

Any other situation you’re essentially ‘buying the dip’ and will see the returns years from now. Although if you’re looking to retire anytime in the near future it will likely be a huge hit on what you can take out.

It gets better. The cops didn’t receive any punishment because the judge said the cops were scared and that it was OK for them to shoot up the car that didn’t match the description (Blue truck versus white / grey, different manufacturer) and contained people who didn’t match the description (Asian women versus black man).

It gets even BETTERER though. That wasn’t the only vehicle they stopped that blatantly didn’t match the description and they still used violence to stop.

It’s just the default stance. Kind of like assuming everyone on the road is a bad driver and driving defensively as a result. It’s safer to assume every cop you interact with is actively looking for a way to screw you over, will lie to you and will violate your rights given the opportunity. Even if it’s just most, or hell even rare that cops are bastards it only takes one interaction with one to have life altering consequences.

That way you can defend your rights and be pleasantly surprised on the rare opportunity you encounter one who isn’t a bastard, rather than be constantly disappointed (and possibly in jail or dead).

I think it’s simple enough without even using analogies to explain. The unit Watt is Joules per second. Multiply by units of time and you get the total units of energy in Joules. Watt and Watt Hour are just that with without the additional units showing or being simplified.

I mean, they exhausted all their options over the last 21 years and were told in 2018 they should get ready to depart. They then stayed another 4 years anyways after they exhausted all their options and knew if it was going to be enforced they were going to be deported.

The only reason they can claim about raising a family is specifically because the system gave them an huge amount of time to sort things out. But that doesn’t mean the time is, or should be, indefinite.

For all the people literally being grabbed off the streets for a traffic ticket or an op ed article, a couple being given 21 years of litigation and almost 40 years of time here to sort out their status before ignoring the unfavorable outcome doesn’t sound like this just dropped out of the sky.

So what should they have done in there intervening 25 years after receiving a voluntary departure order? Just hope it goes away or is never enforced?

“And so it seemed like the perfect time to allow packages to be delivered to my house, not ask what they are, and when I get the inkling they are illicit do and say absolutely nothing about. Nothing bad whatsoever could come from this”
