I have no idea what VOO means.

Since you can read and you have the internet, you could find out what VOO is within seconds. This learned helplessness routine of yours is not believable. You don't need an MBA to open a bank account, or an account with a broker.

Diversification isn't brain surgery. It just means buy different things. Put some into a savings account, some into your retirement account, and some shares of VOO. Consider property, gold, bitcoin, bonds, and whatever else floats your boat. Spend a few hours on Google and you're good to go. You can obviously read and you have the internet so you'll have no issues with any of this.

Diversify homie.

It’s pretty bad. I doubt anyone downvoting you even knows what the Laffer curve is.

To play Devil’s advocate, yes it does. That’s how statistical association works. More Muslims are terrorists, and most Mohammad’s are Muslim. Israel’s airport uses profiling like this and it’s one of the safest, most efficient airports in the world. The West is grappling with what to do with this. We could be safer if we also employed profiling, but we don’t like it for moral reasons.

Almost none. Just be careful who you give your data to.

They really do fuck us in the Nordics. It’s DKK179 (SEK281, USD26) for the family plan here in Denmark. Granted that’s the whole family getting YouTube Premium and Music, but that’s also I think the highest price anywhere in the world.

The war is BECAUSE of Netanyahu.

No, this war is happening because Palestinian terrorists murdered Israeli babies in cold blood. They are human beings with agency. They made a decision to murder innocent people. No one else. There are no reasons, excuses, or justifications for their behaviour.

Let’s see if people like Cosgrove reevaluate their position on cancel culture now that it is affecting them. I’m not holding my breath.

We changed the corporate tax rate in 2017 and 2014 and have been collecting less and less taxes.

As I explained above, this is not correct. In fact, the opposite is true. Tax revenue continues to trend up. They did not not decrease after 2014 or 2017.

I guess my mortgage could be considered bad debt on account of being adjustable interest rate - this is however the most common type of mortgage arrangement in Sweden where I live. This has led to my interest rate costs going up an eye watering 400% in about a year.

As a Dane am I envious of some of your systems like investeringssparkonto, but we have the better mortgage system. My home loan is locked in at 1% for 30 years.

You guys have had ENORMOUS immigration over the last eight years without building homes at commensurate rates. No wonder it placed pressure on housing. I don’t think your government had a realistic housing and immigration plan. I guess that’s why they were voted out. I hope things improve.
