@premium Hey X. I’ve been a paying customer since it became possible to do so. Now I’m suddenly locked out of Premium despite paying through iOS. Which sucks as I can’t DM you for support when Premium disconnects!

It’s a real kafkaesque situation here. Any advice?

@xwanyex Here comes the standard NIMBY whine fest, which can be summarized as: I have better taste in architecture and design than you do, ergo I decide what you can do to your home.

@xwanyex I often think of politicians via a riff on the closing line from “The Usual Suspects”.

That the greatest trick they ever pulled was making us think they matter at all.

@xwanyex Visions of the anointed. It’s not possible for them to be wrong in any way.

@aaron_renn @FischerKing64 This describes my entire extended family. The old Rockefeller Republican crowd is mostly extinct in NE.

@MostlyMonkey Exactly right.

@PayNoTack You’re quite literally buying the sizzle and the steak (or chicken).

@LeylaKuni Just buy the publicly traded option at that point. At least you’re liquid.

@bendreyfuss Your ancestors farmed the left bank of the Euphrates? 25 will do. A bog in County Cork? 85.

@bendreyfuss The only thing important to be gleaned from this data point is what SPF you should buy.

@Duderichy Jesus. Skewness. For one.

@waitbutwhy @charea They should just steal the watch UI.

The answer is “many”.

Because if you follow the general advice in the thread, you can use maturing securities to fund your early spending, buying time for equities to appreciate. And in this particular time span, those low rates drove excellent equity returns (the ZIRP phenomenon) which could be harvested in turn.

The battle is between your ears. Don’t panic and follow a plan.

Rinse, repeat.
