  • Yeah of it’s not AT&T or Verizon it’s T-Mobile. If it’s anything else then it’s also T-Mobile because it will use their network. lol. I haven’t been fucked by Fi yet. Although they did recently change their rates so that basically the price doesn’t change if you have 3 or 4 people on so it’s better to get 4 people to split the bill lower per person. lol.

    I had Straight Talk before this and it was the shitty Walmart one and let me tell you, that shit was sketchy. Transferring numbers was a pain in the ass. Half the time the website didn’t work. Etc. Then they got bought out by Verizon and it got worse as they tried to force people to join and pay like 3 times as much. Jumped ship after that.





  • Yeah I use Fi for myself and my parents. I got my dad a free phone no strings attached for signing up. It was a Moto G 5g or something. Decent phone. Nothing amazing but hey it was basically free and works well. They occasionally have decent deals and are probably one of the better of the cheap services that I have had.

    Edit: if you can stomach paying money to Google that is. I’m not plugging a company. But then tbf there are no service providers in the US that aren’t evil…





  • No but using Robinhood is not a good idea because they screw you on your purchases and lend your shares out without your knowledge or your concentration because, like all brokers in the US, you do not own the rights to those shares. All you are actually buying is an IOU from Robinhood for that stock. If you are going to buy stock you should do so with the companies transfer agent, not through a broker. By utilizing a transfer agent your shares will be in your actual name and cannot be used by brokers to short sell the stock and devalue it.

    Honestly if you are in the US you should really just avoid the stock market as much as you can. It is a ponzie scheme invented by the oligarchy to steal wealth from the working class. That has always been how it is used and it’s only gotten more intricate in how they can fuck you over the years. Check out the movie “The Big Short” and it’s just the tip of the iceberg on how fucked the US stock market is.






  • It will be interesting to see is Australia wages continue to decline and how far the can go when right next to China. It seems that the closer in proximity to a powerful socialist nation, the better you working conditions are as the capitalists have to compete with those conditions. Hell even on the other side of the planet the USSR affected the US worker conditions. They can use the anti-china narratives to prevent similar things from happening for now but when it’s on your own doorstep? When they look over and see Mexico having better working conditions and living conditions (IF Mexico went full on socialism and all that)?
