@Etsy another long time customer here whose account you suspended without recourse or information. The link you post for “help” is an endless loop of FAQs and finding an actual customer service email address is nearly impossible. I sent a message three days ago with no response
@Wise quotes zero fees on a transaction, runs the transaction, charges over 100% of the transaction in fees, two screenshots showing the fee quote and the charge provided immediately to customer service and after an HOUR of runaround, they claim it's not their problem. THIEVES.
@Finance_Nerd_ Income fluctuates, and expenses fluctuate. If you treat your marriage like a partnership, you are joint earnings pay for your joint life. Your “allowance” is your individual salary. That is true shared finances and eliminates strife.
@Finance_Nerd_ Rather than fund the joint account from individual accounts, flip that. Every $ either of you earns goes into the joint account. From there, you both get the same amount paid to your individual accounts.

Yglesias’ understanding of smart conservatives:
When you strip away all the clowns and grifters and morons and hacks and other weird Trump-era cruft and just focus on smart conservatives who know what they’re talking about, this is what you find at the core: Guys who think that they’re Nietzschean overmen and that all this spending on people who are poor or sick or old or disabled is “waste” that holds the country back as we race toward Mars.
I wish he would give names! I sort of have this view but I don’t think anyone else does.
In my experience, the people who want to cut the budget in realistic ways are Paul Ryan types who believe in free markets and have a worldview based in Christian charity, while the guys who talk about Nietzsche and such have internet brain worms and think the federal budget is made up mostly of diversity bureaucrats and shrimp on treadmills.
Combining actual knowledge about the federal budget with a Niezschean worldview is quite rare. If you know such people, introduce me to them, because I would like to be their friend.

Musk has the right to suspend whichever account he wants to suspend — including this one.
But his behavior should conclusively put to rest the tiresome canard that he’s pro-“free speech.”
He isn’t.
He’s pro-free-speech-he-supports — and nothing more.
