A good discussion on the "All In Podcast" of the FTX debacle.

I'm holding out for the hot virtual sex with super models.

Just did my month end tracking and Oct was a good month in a bad year. The big question is- can Tech make a comeback? or will Energy keep rolling?

I have had this happen a time or two with contracts I've written. The usual culprit is one spouse has a blemished credit report and the other spouse can qualify on their own.

Every time I see one of these stories I wonder who these morons are that would believe the sales pitch?

I'm surprised he got almost 3 years for $10,000 bucks worth of fraud.

I saw that too. I think they have their numbers backwards.

It's hard to get anyone to work at these facilities so they end up having to pay more to attract employees. Add in all the other rising costs it's easy to see where they need sharp increases.
