Marketing came to the conclusion that people dont know what they actually want. They decided to lump in engineers and programmers as well, since they started abusing their goodwill.

This is more or less the go-to standard in the usa. One property manager handles possibly hundreds in an association, or dozens of townhomes, and will refuse to speak to you directly, except through a maintenance request system. Its incredibly depressing

>As I am fond of saying, he’s always “a day late and a dollar short” by ‘exposing’ scams after they have already run their course or ‘rug pulled’

So.. the author wants him to tell us before it happens, and be right?

There was one going on with MrBeast and some crypto, and there was one of Paul brothers and his scam game that he predicted correctly before it went south?

Should he stop explaining these scams after they happen, too? Why is that such an issue?

What a sad way to live life, for a man to miss the chains he wears in enslavement, for he knows nothing else

I miss when the internet had less people

207 billion to fund sam altmans greatest con on the world. Will it also be treated as "too big to fail", and be bailed out in the future, when it inevitably fails to deliver?

> Do you really want to use a phone's on-screen keyboard to type in your family's passport details, address, then credit card numbers, then review all of this to ensure your $2000 purchase doesn't have any typos or mistakes?

Not only do they type it in, they let them save their information...

Slightly off topic

Are there any services on the market that allow you to self host email, but have your email forwarded to a reputable service to send / receive on your behalf?

Thats my ideal dream of self hosting email - encrypt and own the hardware, send and receive through a reputable ip to not deal with the politics and oppression of abuse by conglomerates

> Fidelity uses those funds as marketing, and they make up for it with all the other services and funds they offer. It's intentional, and it's working.

> Vanguard is more and more becoming a group that just wants to run ETFs and if you want to use them, they're making it harder and harder. They recently dumped all their 401(k) and similar plans from being in-house to some other provider.

If this is true, then it must for individuals.. My company moved a little over a year ago TO vanguard for 401ks

About 20 million votes less than the 2020 election, with about 15 million less for the democrats, and a measely 4 million less for the republicans. Thought that was interesting.

Regardless, keep up the good work!

The article seems lacking, and doesn't give much background on how we got to where the title came from. A shame, really. Im sure there're better articles out there
