McKinsey consultant, which means a very expensive corporate idiot


Really they’re just really expensive therapists CEOs hire to say what they want to hear.

McKinsey was just paid $40mil to consult WBD on splitting up.

Before that they were paid $30 to consult on changing max to hbo max

Before that they were paid $40 mil to consult WBD on changing HBO max to Max, and before that…

They were paid $50 mil to consult Discovery on its merger with WB.

You can’t make this stuff up.

I reckon that could feel a little 'paycheck to paycheck' for this context.


On the money board, people believe paycheck to paycheck happens when you can’t pay cash for your vehicle, and have to take an interest bearing loan.

When the true meaning is when my lawn guy asks me to prepay so he can pay to repair his work truck.
Money is disposable for the beach house owners in the NE. There are numerous stories about beach homes in Nantucket and cape cod that only have a couple years remaining until they wash out to sea, yet they still routinely change hands for $500k+…just to enjoy a couple remaining seasons.

I’d be surprised if the sennheisers weren’t the best option for that price.

I’m struggling with this one. If it was posted on the OT I’d think he was trolling.

Doing well financially

To date I’ve paid off about 4/5s of my nuisance debt.

Only a little bit more to go before being debt free with exception of mortgage.

…but still living paycheck to paycheck.

This feels like a “fixed income” variant thread.

Their upside seems limited. Targeting the untapped market of customers seeking $500 loans strikes me as a solution looking for a problem. Not to mention the ungodly number of micro loans needed for growth.

Real financial institutions have explicitly stated the demographic isn’t worth the hassle, which is the only reason the customer base is available to Chime.

Normally I’d joke that’s not the hairline of an A1C.

But, that statement wasn’t written by an E1…that poor kid has no idea what his girlfriend just did to him.

Any F125 reviews?

I fired the game up and was immediately impressed by the graphics.

On the other hand, I struggled to immerse myself in the story.

While it seemed logical to race for my father’s F2 team, it got a little zany when I fell ill and my sister was forced to step into my seat to save our legacy.

I’m still eagerly awaiting the stats for all the bambushkas they proudly issued AK-47s.
I’d be happy to go out like David Carradine to be a billionaire.

After scouring the internet, the overwhelming advice was the secret to overcoming NAV erosion with YM is the DRIP. That advice feels like trying to succeed at roulette by just doubling down until you win.

Nonetheless, I bought 100 shares of ULTY @6.20 this morning to test that approach. Let’s see what fate shall bring.

Will be far worse than that.

It’s hard to forget the video of the captured Jordanian pilot that was set on fire in the cage.
Everyone knows straight white guys select “decline to answer” the demographic surveys.

I can accept Lockheed grouped its employees into perceived demographics behind the scenes, but I’m calling BS that they went so far as to label groups as “favored” and “disfavored” and put it in writing.

It’s a feel good story. She couldn’t afford to feed her first child yet SNAP made her comfortable enough to have three more.

Good luck. As an experiment, I did the same a couple weeks ago. Got in at 23.50, after the dividend I’m only down .97.

I feel like a gambler chasing the next hand.

They’re just butt hurt their monopoly is over. Will have to spin off the pharmacies from Caremark insurance which they own and use to reimburse under the cost of the drug at every other pharmacy while paying themselves higher rates for the same drugs.


This defies reality. Aetna’s tiny compared to the other healthcare providers. If local pharmacies are being strangled, UNH and Humana’s PBMs play an oversized role in the problem. Removing Caremark from CVS’s vertical doesn’t help.

If this bill passed UNH would just be one step closer to becoming Highlander.
