I have $450k at Schwab and am wondering if there’s any benefit from Schwab if I bump it up to $500k.

I mostly have everything in sgov and tbills at this point in my life if that makes any difference. I moved other money over to Chase because of an offer Schwab wouldn’t match, but I have another $50k. I can add that to Schwab to make it over $500,000 or put more into Chase or Fidelity. I’m all set in living expenses and emergency cash. Any insight or ideas appreciated.

The city council recently reviewed a $430,000 annual contract extension with Flock Safety to maintain the existing camera network.

Were our police officers that bad at finding criminals the other way? I’m talking serious offenders: were they not finding them? What is the data of finding them better now verses the old way for serious criminals? I don’t want to see them fluff the data with reading expired license plates or whatever. They can find those people eventually. $430,000 of my taxes and you should show us the data.

I guess flock cameras read everyone’s license plates and know every person’s whereabouts on that camera for at least 40 days. It just feels so Big Brother tracking…. I’m wondering too, if it’s wasteful spending, and how is misuse monitored as officers in some places have already been disciplined for tracking ex girlfriends and ex spouses. I guess misuse is quite a problem and one of the criticisms.

I honestly want to know if the trade off is worth it. Libertarians are outraged, right? Or no? I think Dems and Rep are on both sides.

What are your thoughts as a community? I used to think that it didn’t matter if you weren’t doing anything wrong, but now I’m finding it a little creepy.

Whaaaat? People, if all that public land goes private, where will you ski, snow mobile, hike and climb? They may not want you on their private property. Even the mountain is in Inyo Ntl Forest.

Had a snow mobile rental guy say the “defund the Inyo National Forest” line to some tourists. Please, does that guy think people want to snow mobile in his parking lot? No, people come up here to enjoy the beautiful national forest land.

Please enjoy and respect our national forest treasures.

‘It is shameful’: Appeal denied in Zack Scrivner’s mental health diversion

“Zack Scrivner abused his own children. He did this in front of his mother, Kathy Scrivner.  She called her sister, Cynthia Zimmer our District Attorney [in Bakersfield, CA]. With his well connected family and laws designed to consider criminals above victims he has been spared any accountability. It is shameful. Every decent person knows it.”

First time for me that a group of kids on e-bikes pulled into traffic and took over the lane. One kid fell off. Could have been killed if I weren’t going under the speed limit!

Of course, no helmets. Some doing wheelies on regular bikes and a couple scooters. Parents… if you only knew your child almost died today…

Hilton chat is a joke.

There is nothing fast or convenient about it. It takes 25 minutes to go from confirm to thank you for being a Diamond member with a person. They are always having technical problems on their end, too, like their cheap system is an excuse to take 45 minutes in chat. I gave it a try, Hilton. No thanks. Diamond desk is better , but for how long? Companies want AI, but it’s shitty AI. Save your money and go back to people.

Edit: Called Diamond Desk. Dine in 5 minutes. Representative Alec was amazing.
