@CPATaxTeam@MarriottBonvoy@MarriottBonvoy ruined our anniversary. Went to check in to our hotel after date night and it was under construction. Took 25 minutes to check in. Finally on the way to the room, stepping over piles of dirty laundry in the hallways, and it was gross. They refused a refund.
@HMBohemond And then proceeds to make the WORST Star Wars film of all time. Don’t get me wrong, there’s blame to be shared for TRoS, but damn, JJ, critical miss.
I’m blown away by this. Truly a sign that both parties are bought and paid for if this is allowed to stall the progress of the bill. The banks have crippled our economy before and it’s only a matter of time until they do again. We’re due for disruptive technology.
THIS IS WHY THE BILL IS REALLY STUCK
Mike Novogratz was pretty blunt about what’s slowing the crypto market structure bill. He says both parties want a bill. That part isn’t the problem.
The real friction is BANKS -- especially around stablecoins.
Right now, big banks pay savers basically nothing (~1–11 bps) while earning 3.5–4% parking deposits at the Fed. Stablecoins threaten that spread. If consumers can earn yield elsewhere, deposits move -- and banks make less.
That’s why this is such a lobbying fight.
Let stablecoins compete, and banks either lose deposits or have to pay consumers more. That’s the trade-off lawmakers are wrestling with.
So yes, this is about SEC vs CFTC. But underneath, it’s about who gets to keep the economics of your money.
That’s why this bill is harder than it looks. 👀
NAME AND SHAME
The Ravens @Ravens
The Bengals @Bengals
The Detroit Lions @Lions
The Colts @Colts
The Vikings @Vikings
They honored George Floyd, a career criminal who overdosed on fentanyl but refused to honor Charlie Kirk.
Important to know where they stand!
@FearedBuck Make @PlanetFitness the next on the list. My PF closed for 2 months for renovations. I tried to cancel over the phone and they told me I had to drive 45 minutes to another location to cancel.
@JackPosobiec Same. @TSA removed my iPad from my bag without telling me. Realized when o got on my flight when it was too late to go back. Called security when I landed and they went and retrieved with the location I gave, then charged me $110 to ship it back.
Sallie Mae is a student loan company
American shows a $40k dollar student loan payback amount turns into $118,305.59
You pay over $77k dollars just in interest. This is pure insanity and interest terms like this be federally illegal
“Sallie Mae really got me out here fighting for my LIFE over a $40K loan that turned into $120K — The fact that for financing the money they want $77,383.59 is asinine.
Now back in my day when I was in college, I don't even think I paid that much for the four years I went. So to think they should get that for one year of schooling is insane.”
@flushingitgolf He’s being very careful about what he says on record right now (as probably advised by his PR team) with the non-conforming driver issue.
