Does the entire world forget that the Congress calls the election after the electorate votes on Dec 14th?

I can do the math on SWR’s, but always happy to have the input of this forum, be it positive, constructive, or a really unique perspective. I’ve been lurking on a FIRE journey for a while, and here is where I am:
2.3M in retirement assets (30% have been taxed)
8k a month in expected expenses…continued in comments

Currently making 56k as a first year Tax Staff, what percentage or ranges should I be looking towards ? Regionally known firm.

Prometric is closed until May 31 all across the country.

Has Bain started taking from tier 2 colleges as well? I could see lots of posts for hiring by consultants with no post saying criteria of college! I wonder what is up with that! As far as I know they dont take from any college apart from Top 5-6.

My best friend has Celeste!

Any thoughts on meditation? Has it helped you?

Hi everyone, I’m Matt, the Cofounder and CEO of Fishbowl. I’ll be hosting a Fishbowl Live convo this Thursday at 8 PM EST sharing experiences that I hope are helpful for this community based on the 3 startups I’ve launched.

Ideation… product iteration… fundraising... it’s all fair game. You can join us by tapping on this link at 8 PM EST on Thursday:

Hi all, welcome to the bowl.
Program managers, project managers, scrum masters.

Anyone else permanently remote now and considering moving or have already moved? Where to?

Does Gartner Gurgaon provide free employee to and fro office transportation?

Awfully quiet here. I have been looking at news and seeing weird stuff. Do 70% of Republicans really believe that Trump lost due to voter fraud? That is an insanely high number.

Biden's handlers request breaks every 30 min., and decline ears to be inspected pre-debate despite agreeing to a few days ago. Biden's team is looking for any type of available safety net.

I just want to say that I still support police officers across the country. I know that these are tough times for everyone and while I condemn the officers that use lethal force on unarmed civilians...I understand that not all officers act like that. I would probably get thrown out if this were any other bowl.

54 members is inadequate for this to be any use. You need to actively promote and increase membership

I'm a Bernie supporter who got invited here because I debate in a reasonable manner. I was reading some reasonable posts talking about how ridiculous it is to call Republicans racist all the time.
On the left it is frustrating because there is a president who says racists things (from mex are rapists to there are fine people in Charlottesville etc...) and enjoys 80% GOP support.
We clearly agree racism is bad - how can we work together to resolve it? Where does it break down?

More people died of covid under Biden than under Trump.

Thoughts on the 2,000 dollar stimulus proposal? I personally think it’s not needed. Theoretically if you are getting full unemployment plus this 2000 a month you are making close to a 70-80k salary. Some people might roughly double their salary that they had when they were working. In addition, people like me (under 130k AGI) would qualify and I always could use money but it’s not needed.

What are your thoughts on the quick turn around to replace RGB’s seat with ACB? And how the the line of separation of church and state seem to be getting thinner?

It's oddly quiet in this channel. Happy Thanksgiving you all.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;
(cont'd)

Regardless of the details of the incident in Central Park, I’d just like to point out one thing. That lady was probably a very outspoken liberal. Yeah I’ll take that hypocrisy to go, thanks.

I joined politics with Trump.
What's this a MAGA =\= Republican?
Sounds like its just to say Republicans aren't deranged crazy racists. On policy level, isn't he quite conservative?

"Even if #CovidVaccines are appropriate in all circumstances, the decision to be vaccinated must be left to the individual. It's never appropriate for a government to force individuals to subjugate their rights for the public good. Individual rights are the bedrock of freedom."

I just watched Trump Card! I liked it a lot, I knew many of the things Dinesh talked about, but learned some too. Anyone else see it?

Welcome to the bowl. This bowl is to have discussions on current events without being insulted for your opinion based on other fishes hatred of republicans because of Trump.

So what are everyone’s thoughts on reopening? I know as of 4/22 Massachusetts only has 21 deaths in the under 50 age group. I think time to re-open but precautions in place and elderly stay quarantine

Who knew, Brett Kavanaugh is a (hack) partisan operative and a pretend justice. Exactly as the framers intended. Thoughts?
