  1. I'm sure if there were pressures from big beer and big whiskey that he would surely tell us.
  2. I'm no Harris fan but the vast majority of Americans don't follow politics very closely. Therefore I do think Harris who hasn't been much in the news as VP has an opportunity to introduce herself anew to the American public in a positive light.
  3. One thing about Georgia. Yeah you get a one year stay on entry with many passports but to live there longer term there is no guarantee they will keep stamping in on border runs. Also about the Russian draft dodgers. Turns out the leader of Georgia is now a Putin lackey.
  4. Funny. He doesn't appear to care about Finland and Sweden joining NATO. Back to reality. Genocidal fascist dictator Putin doesn’t view Ukraine as a separate sovereign nation. He wants to gobble it up and if not reduce it to dust.
  5. I hadn't noticed.
  6. Thailand is a quickly aging country at similar rates to Singapore. But Singapore is rich and Thailand is still middle income. There are no quick and easy solutions.
  7. Don't show me your house unless you're gonna give me the house.
  8. Biden has a choice unfortunately. He won't be Article 25ed if he continues.
  9. I share your admiration for Joe Biden and his first term. But for the good of the country now it's time for him to accept reality. Of course Harris is the most logical replacement but personally I think Whitmer has a real chance of landsliding maga that Harris doesn't.
  10. Harris has a better chance than Biden. Whitmer would be better as she'd sweep the Midwest. But I think Biden's chances are complete toast. People aren't nearly as logical about issues as you seem to think
  11. For Traditional, you can withdrawal as little or as much as you want after age 59 1/2 (before there is a penality) until the age of required minimum withdrawals. You need to consult charts to determine your specific required minumum. There is no consistency rule. I think you might be talking about mainstream financial advice saying that at the starting age of your "retirement" that you should start at 4 percent withdrawal and then step up a little bit annually to account for inflation for the purpose of PROBABLY avoiding ever running out of money while alive. In other words as you get older that will rise to 5 percent, etc. But in reality there is no logical reason to keep those levels if you don't need the money to live in and markets are way down, etc. Or, on the other hand, there may be very good personal health/financial reasons to increase with withdrawal percentage one or multiple times. So those suggested guidelines are really just suggestions, and everyone would be wise to monitor their own personal situation.
  12. No! 73 for traditional. There is no withdrawal required for Roth.
  13. Yeah the expected cuts unless they reform it are scary. A fix is easy but would require bipartisan action which is the maybe impossible part.
  14. No. It's later. https://www.fool.com/retirement/plans/ira/distributions/ What are required minimum distributions for IRAs? Required minimum distributions (RMDs) are mandatory withdrawals that you must take from all of your retirement accounts, except Roth IRAs, beginning in the year you turn 73.
  15. Polls about a black swan event that is probably going to happen (Biden exiting) are obviously of no value. Any democrat (except Biden) can beat Trump. Not saying they will, but to pronounce nobody can at this point is completely insane. Yes it will be challenging for Harris for sure, assuming it will probably be Harris, but she'll have a chance to reintroduce herself to the public and hopefully present a more popular face and her VP pick will be important. Good chance it will be Josh Shapiro who is a fiery communicator and will bring in swing state Pennsylvania and hopefully the midwest swing states as well.
  16. No the focus is on this election, and I don't accept your fictional narrative that only Michelle can win. But I accept that Biden can't win.
  17. Apparently, he only listens to his wife Jill. I kind of get it. He's come back miraculously before. Namely in his first nomination fight where he was written off as over before South Carolina. But you can't count on miracles when it comes to the ravages of age.
  18. Hardly as Michelle has no interest in running.
  19. The place reportedly has good hygiene. The large pot is cleaned well daily and only part of the "old" broth is added to continue the chain.
  20. This guy liked it anyway. Review: Wattana Panich's 50-Year-Old Soup in Bangkok - Business Insider He compared the goat version to Malaysian / Singaporean bak ku teh, (a dish that I like). So maybe Sanctioned Ivan and the lovely Evalina are yahoos with no taste? I think they had the beef version.
  21. Wearing a Biden hat is not a thing because the democrats are not a CULT! Unlike Trump. So a false equivalence. So much so that most democrats including me want Biden to withdraw from seeking the nomination ASAP.
  22. The restaurant was not pleased. The highlight of this video is the look on the lovely Evalina's face at the first taste of the famous broth. Have you tried the famous (approximately) 50 year old soup? Do you agree with Ivan and Evalina or not? I have a question. Is this like a boat noodle soup where they add fresh pork blood? I ask because of the color of the broth.
