You happen to have a source for this? I can't seem to find much.
Will stores be checking the serial of every bill they take? That doesn't seem scalable. I'd expect they would just be not recirculated the next time it's brought to a bank. Or if it has to be in stores, by checking the series, not serial.
The upper crust in that photo looks amazing
Well if I wasn't done using discord already, I'd for sure be done using it now...
This isn't necessarily about justice or guilt. They aren't being imprisoned or sentenced. An organization is choosing not to permit them where their members & the public gather, for "protection".
If these individuals were suspected of being in contact with a dangerous contagious disease, you'd hopefully not find it unscientific to minimize risk by telling them not to come to a convention.
But being a child rapist, or ASSOCIATING with child rapists isn't a contagious disease. No, but due to their association to members of a prolific child trafficing ring, they may be considered a higher risk for a certain subset of convention-goers (which claims to offer fun for people of all ages)
I've used betterworldbooks in the past. New & used.
Has anyone found the full videos? Allegedly there are 3 10-20 body cam footage videos as well as other documents. While theseblityle highlights are great, it sure would be nice to review in full ourselves.
These look amazing!
That sure looks like the same outfit to the individual on the ground to me. Thank you for sharing the additional info!
The ability of Kate to pipe selected text through shell commands is very nice. Ctrl+\ or whatever it is.
Personally, I prefer Vanguard over other US brokerages, say Fidelity, Etrade, Schwab, etc because the company itself is owned by the funds you purchase, rather than outside investors. As weak a reason as that is.
i've previously read that many non-us banks and some brokerages don't like (read:may refuse) doing business with americans because the USA has strict tax rules and need for disclosures (I think if the cumulative total of all a citizens foreign accounts is over $10,000 it must be reported). If you have recomendations for foreign brokerage accounts, i'd be interested to know more.
The vast majority of americans do not have significant disposable income, and will be primarily investing in their 401k (employer match for a certain %, as well as tax advantage), if at all. Typically employees are locked into whatever brokerage their employer opts into. Without a 401K, they might instead be using an IRA for tax advantage, but I doubt there are many foreign financial institutions that would/could offer a US IRA.
That may mean that convincing your American friends to move accounts could be difficult (or impossible) vs just having them invest more into foreign funds at their US brokerage(vxus, etc).
"Rendering my cash invalid with no recourse" might be on the extreme end of this, if the places that its checked are ATM and banks - so long as it's still exchangeable for goods/services (e.g. not being checked by stores)
I'll keep an eye out for kore info though.
But yes, with serials are tracked when taken from/put in ATM/bank, it is not anonymous. Potentially breaking larger bills at common places (stores/gas stations) could mitigate this, but theres still information about where you've been inherent in that.
