Has anyone used Temu? I’m trying to buy something I only saw there that’s not even available on Etsy. Have you had an issues or credit card fraud with Temu? 😆

I take issue with the human slavery part of Temu.

The

"I can't prove all of the businesses I patronize don't use forced labor so I have moral justification to feel okay about supporting the ones that for sure do."

has always been a weird take for me.

Levels of exploitation are nuanced, but I have always regarded human slavery was one people could for sure agree on. Turns out some people think that cute outfit is worth.

If you're genuinely curious. These are a handful that are well documented by both the government and press (foreign & domestic) in recent years. SheIn. Temu. Any shrimp farming based out of Thailand. Coffee beans.

If you're really curious about forced labor's impact and the degrees it impacts the supply chain. You can start with the department of labor lists of known offenders and work your way out.

In general when thinking about the purchase of any item. If the price is ridiculous cheap, then that item is provided to you at the expense and lives of others.

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am.

I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).

This is just a straw man argument.
