Comments: This is insane Reza: "According to Fidelity, couple needs $1.5 Million to retire reasonably "
Comments: Hamvatan what you say is factual and sad at the same time. Also the fact is that many in the US are in denial about this or think that as soon as Trump leaves everything will go back to the good old times!
Comments: This means US middle class is eroding at an unprecedented rate
Comments: It is hard to explain to people what the difference between median n means here so basically we have a super skewed distribution here. Most Americans can hardly save enough to retire by 60. According to Fidelity, couple needs $1.5 Million to retire reasonably the fact most have less than $1.0 Million is scary as fuck
Comments: Faramarz, US has already passed becoming a 3rd world country in many aspects. It has become a Banana Republic with a lawless government at this time with high cost to return to normalcy.
Comments: Watch the chief lunatic torpedo all of this. The thing is that if USA walks away and fighting resumes, lunatic will be in deep deep doo doo.
Comments: • Latest on negotiations: The US and Iran are moving closer to an agreement on a one-page memo to end the war, according to a regional source, though Trump officials cautioned talks have previously fallen apart at the last minute. President Donald Trump issued a new warning to Iran, saying the “bombing starts” again if a deal is not reached. Tehran said it is still reviewing the latest US proposal. • Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy said safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is possible under “new procedures,” Iranian media reports. It follows Trump’s announcement yesterday that the US will pause its effort to guide vessels through the strait while maintaining its blockade of Iranian ports. • Netanyahu seeks updates: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding talks today with Trump administration officials about the negotiations between the US and Iran, according to an Israeli source. Israel is concerned, the source said, about potential last-minute US concessions aimed at securing a deal.
Comments: So much difference between mean and median. USA is becoming like a third world country!!! So sad.
Comments: Americans have not suffered, really suffered in a very long time. Since the Great Depression, US and its citizens have enjoyed a relatively stable lives. It kind of ended or to put it in better words, started to go south after early 2,000s. Majority of Americans don’t have enough savings to last them a month if shit hits the fan! They lose a job and before you know it, they can’t effort the mortgage or the rent. They barely have enough to feed themselves some decent food. Medical expenses are so high that many avoid seeing a doctor who might tell them they need certain medications which they can’t afford. I have traveled through the country and the middle of the country looks like a 4th world country. Cities with healthy economy related to manufacturing have become ghost towns. 1/2 to 2/3 of the businesses have closed. Hospitals and clinics are closing due to low demand and high costs. Roads, bridges, transportation and other infrastructures are from 50-100 years ago. In the meantime, a very small group of people are becoming richer and richer everyday. The whole country has been divided and people just hate each other. Young people are just giving up. No matter how much they try and study and work hard, their future is bleak at best!
Comments: The stark difference between mean (average) and median is the most telling story here. There are few really high net worth accounts and whole lot of fuckin broke ass Americans. This is truly sad
Comments: Just some stats for your old asses to chew on 1) Avg balance of 401K(and similar savings) in US by age 60 $537,560 2) the Median balance however is $180,000 3) Balances $1 Mill or more 2.3% or 70,000 accounts in whole US of A 4) Balances of $5 Mill or more less than 0.1% but number of accounts unknown as individuals with high network don’t participate in surveys 🤔
Comments: One more lesson: Not every regime is a pushover like the Pahlavies. IRI is armed to the teeth with one million ground force just in Sepah. The idiot and lazy shahollahis needed a better plan than someone else should go and upend the regime so that we can come in for a three week visit. MFs are the picture perfect vatan foroush. Now they are hitting the UAE stone to their chest. ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") True definition of harjAyi.
Comments: Lessons learned from the past few months! The more you push a regime like IRI, the harder they push back. Unfortunately for the people of Iran, that will not change anything for better. IRI only cares for their survival. They have been preparing for this for 40+ years. They have seen and studied what happened to the neighboring countries and their leaders. They realize that their survival doesn’t depend on logic, only force! Once again, that means more pain for the people! Simple lesson for the world is to avoid doing what they did to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and… the only way is to get them to open up to the world. The more they push them to the corner, the harsher the response!
Comments: On the SOH I have had several conversations with a few Shahollahis. The thing is that they get upset when you say anything against the Pahlavis. They are god's incarnation and could not have done any wrong. When I showed them a video that was posted here about Bahrain and how all these discussions about SOH would have been moot, they start claiming that even if Iran had Bahrain, which is clear across the Persian Golf, still Iran would not have the right to claim sovereignty over its territorial waters. The thing is that if Iran had Bahrain, most of the Persian Golf would have actually been considered internal territorial waters of Iran. They argue anything to exonerate the Pahlavis. Then they somehow assume that all these Persian Gulf countries have a right to the water way. This is the biggest misunderstanding. Does every country on the planet have a right to a water way to get to the open sea? The clear answer to that is NO. The best precedence is the case between Turkiye and Russia. UN gave the control of the strait of Bosphorous to Turkiye cutting off Russia's direct access to open sea. Since then Turkiye has managed the Bosphorous with great stability and Russia has had no issues as long as they play nice with Turkiye. Iran is asking for the same rights.
Comments: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXj--DTkZLh/ Great explanation of SOH shit show
Comments: Exactly. He should use some of the BS art of the deal he always goes on about. He should just say u have Hormuz, but do not enrich to weapons grade and allow inspections. then walk away from Hormuz, pull your troops from Europe too and say you are focusing America first, energizing your base. I bet you IRI would go for that. Then turn around and tell american people that mission is accomplished. We destroyed all Iran's nuclear capabilities and will have UN inspectors there to make sure they wont restart again. His base would get re-energized and buy every bit of it. The only problem here is the lunatic yaboo. If Trump is strong enough and does this, yaboo will then start working on the democrats.
Comments: Ted Turner founder of CNN passed away
Comments: At this stage, a mission accomplished, would do.
Comments: This is amazing to me! Just a day ago, IRI was shooting at a US frigate and supposedly hit UAE. Then they published a map declaring all of UAE coast as under Iran control. ![[rofl]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif "Rofl - :lol:") Today Trump pulls the rug from under Operation Freedom and plays nice saying an agreement based on Iranian conditions are near. I wonder how Yaboo feels about this. The thing is that this is the first sane thing that Trump has done. He is destroying his presidency and the world economy. Logic dictates this has to stop. A logical president would simply pull back and say we made a mistake, lick his wounds and focus on restoring the rest of his presidency. Reagan did that after the Beirut bombing. Simply puled all American troops out of Lebanon.
