Everything you just said has nothing to do with fascism and is therefore irrelevant to the term.

I'm not saying that any of that is ok, but that doesn't make it fascism.

You are aware that fascism already has a definition, correct? It's not just someone doing something that you don't agree with.

Please don't water down a word that has very serious implications right now.

Around here, it's usually not at a local physical bank. My online high yield savings is currently at 4.5% though; that's where my emergency funds are.

And religion + racism + fear of the unknown + social echo chambers can all be exploited. Remember that MTG floated a few years ago that space lasers caused California forest fires. Never mind the power requirements and ridiculousness that would require.

I think the woman is dangerous as hell, but I don't think she's stupid. I think she uses dumb ideas to mobilize an ignorant base.

No, you don't. You have to pay a penalty if you pull out earnings early. You can take the money you put in out at any time without penalty.

You are thinking of a traditional IRA, not a Roth IRA.

You can pull money out of your Roth IRA at literally any point. You already paid the taxes on it.

You cannot pull more out than you put in though. If you have and properly use a Roth IRA throughout your whole life, you can live for many many years without ever breaching that cap if you wanted to retire a little earlier. You're just reducing your potential total.

The whole existence of an abrahamic God is self defeating at its basic premise.

If God is all knowing, all good, and all powerful, then he either designed all of this, including Satan, as some fucked up experiment, or he is not perfect and he messed up somewhere.

There are no other options.

You need 0° to chill properly though.

Can you name your country? Because, uh... No. If that actually exists where you live though, then that's awesome. We should have that here.

My point was that it's not necessary, and the practice increases the likelihood that the entire bin will be thrown out because some consumer didn't peel them off. Then the company gets to say "we told them to do it, it's not our fault!"

I do peel these off, but I also think that they are irritating and actively hinder the problem at hand.

Nah, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

Ignoring the fact that hardly any plastic is actually recyclable in the first place, your argument is that conscious consumers should accept additional responsibilities on the off chance that it MIGHT actually get recycled?

We figured out how to print on basically any surface a long time ago. How about we hold companies to a standard of responsible packaging, instead of yet again passing the buck to the end user.

Because Tesla was fixing significant safety issues without reporting it to the NHTSA in a way that they could track the problems and source of the issue. The two of them got into a pissing match, and the result is that now all OTA's are recalls. After this, the media realized that "recall" generates more views than "OTA", and here we are.
