The Fed has massively increased interest rates in the past year or so to fend off a recession. That’s in part what led to the recent bank failures, because the banks made stupid investments hinging on low interest rates. As a whole, it’s been working wonders for the economy. Things have been stabilizing and fears of a recession have lowered.

In short, yes, 4.15% is on the good side, but it’s also pretty common in the US right now. Some savings accounts have 5%+ last time I checked, though those are harder to come by and often have stupid rules attached.

I don’t disagree, but it’s an important distinction to make that Apple is not the bank in this scenario. Goldman Sachs is the bank. Apple is basically just whitelabeling in the same way every store nowadays wants you to get their credit card. Macy’s giving you a credit card with their name on it does not make them a bank. Same goes for Apple.

Another helpful community lost to the data blackhole that is Discord :(

The best argument I’ve hard in favor of dealers is that they introduce competition in sales of a single brand of vehicle. Instead of Ford having a monopoly on Ford vehicles and selling for MSRP only, you can shop around Ford dealerships that all sell the same product but have to compete with eachother on price or whatever.

That system starts to break down when, like in recent years, dealerships collectively decide to stop selling vehicles for MSRP or below and all tack on thousands of bullshit dealership markup fees. Also dealerships are exclusively run by scum of the Earth which massively taints the entire car shopping experience.

For those without a Twitter, like myself, who can’t view the context, here is a screenshot I stole from some random news article:

It’s a Twitter clone with a smaller but higher quality community. If you liked Twitter you might like Mastodon. If you never liked Twitter, odds are you won’t like Mastodon either.

IMO, it still suffers from the same lords-and-peasants system as Twitter since it’s entirely follower based.

Candidates must receive 40,000 donors, including at least 200 unique donors in each of 20 states, to qualify for the August debate.

It’s an expensive attempt to attend a debate.

Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.

I welcome the extra content and massive expansion of the fediverse! Having millions of users has its advantages. Smaller communities will still exist.

So much smoother! Thank you for all your charity and hard work!

Thank you! My favorite RSS app got suddenly over run by ads a few years ago. I’ve been lacking a replacement ever since. Feeder is exactly what I needed!
