It's almost as if it were scripted that way. "You'll all be fine, anyone that tries to caution otherwise is a crazy conspiracy theorist or they only care about getting their hair cut or eating at Applebee's and would gladly break into your home and strangle your grandma to death to do it." </quote> ...

Questionmarktarius 05/14/20 1:43:13 PM #45:	TheGoldenEel posted... Thats just an opinion piece the $400 expense figure comes directly from a study done by the federal reserve your article in summation says I dont believe that The article in summation says "here's why that figure is deeply flawed" The question comes from the annual Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households by the Federal Reserve. The report finds, in 2018, that 61% of adults would cover a $400 unexpected expense using cash (or its equivalent). Politicians and many in the media seem to be subtracting 61 from 100, and concluding that 39% of people, to use Warrens phrase, cant come up with the money theyd need to handle this situation. Instead, as the Fed report makes clear, though the remaining 4 in 10 adults would have more difficulty covering such an expense, many of them would be able to make it work by carrying a credit card balance or borrowing from friends and family. (Presumably some of these adults are 18-year-olds borrowing from their parents, but Im not sure about that.) The report states: Twelve percent of adults would be unable to pay the expense by any means. Im dubious about that as well. In any event, 12% is a lot less than 39%. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:939148041] in Economic c...
