  • When you start investing, just put your money in and just don’t worry about it. It’ll grow. Just keep adding to it. You’ll get there.

    Probably some of the dumber advice i’ve received.

    You have to look at your Stocks. You have to look at your 401(k). You have to look at your investments.

    Unless you like to wake up one day and discover you don’t have enough money. Then go ahead and follow that advice of just set and forget it.

    The only one that might make sense with is if you’re putting your money into the S&P.

    Even then, I still would pay attention to what it’s doing.





  • Others have mentioned how bad the TSA is, but with they aren’t mentioning is why it is so bad. It’s basically the third rail of . As soon as a politician starts to suggest that we redo the TSA they are accused of being weak on security and weak on terrorism. So because of it, there’s no real way to change what exist all they can do is add another layer. And yet the bad part or messed up part is still in place. Even TSA agents know that half of what they’re doing doesn’t make any sense.

    And by the way, when I say half that’s a figure of speech, not a literal.

    If the TS agent doesn’t do exactly what the rules require they’re just fired. Once you get fired from a government job good luck on ever getting another job in the government.

    Instead of the politician, sitting down and asking what is working and what is not working and rebuilding the TSA. It’s just used as a for political, cheap shots and a way to attack the other side. Both Democrats and Republicans are doing the exact same thing. Anybody who says otherwise just lying to themselves

    Insane amount of money are spent for just a small benefit. Meanwhile, it screws up travel time. There’s a reason why some people stand in for hours just to get on an airplane.















  • Fair number of answers, no one saying what country they are from

    US here, we had to ask but it was basically always a yes.

    Reasons for a no:

    Middle of a test

    Middle of explaining something important, then you might be asked to wait a few minutes

    If you were just abusing the system asked always asking just to get out of class they would probably start saying no. If you had a medical issue you could always meet the teacher after class or before school and say you have a medical issue that prevents your from waiting. It it was a sudden thing like diarrhea… Well just get up and go.
