Quote from johnny88 :
T Bills are still more attractive then CDs unless the CD have a substational higher rate. CDs are callable, that means the bank can decide at any point to just return your money and not pay you the full amount. In addition there's the state taxes on CDs.

T Bills aren't callable and they're not taxable via state income taxes.
not all CDs are callable. yes to state taxes point but that really only eats up .25-.40 points (for the size I'm purchasing, which is significant) so if a 3-year cd is paying me 5.40 (non callable of course) and a treasury is paying 4.xx its a no brainer in that regard.

but I do agree that normally treasuries are the better buy. its why I hope they rise a bit more so I can grab the term and % I'm looking for.

except when job doesn't even pay to owning a car or rent for that matter.
the jobs are pointless then like in CA bay area right now or NYC or LA lots of useless jobs that should be removed just because they cannot pay shit.

rather the business owner offer shelter and transportation at least as a bare min to work its basic slavery model
yeah... it doesn't seem like you know what slavery means.

It's unfortunate that so many people can't delivery more value to society so that they are worth getting paid more. We need to do a better job teaching people to deliver value (upskilling) so that they can live comfortable lives.

Quote from gallymimus :
You should be empathetic to how often people are taken in by this. Imagine a single mother, broken car, has a job, it isn't walkable, it isn't bussable. She needs a car to work, shop, take her kid to school. Many cities are structured like this.

A car dealer tells you the payments are $350mo. It's 10% of your take home but 80% of your pay in your pocket is better than losing your job. Interest rate never even comes into consideration in many of these situations. Getting to your job, feeding your kid and surviving another 6mo is all that matters.

Not everyone has the luxury of saying "24%? that's for idiots."

the bank doesn't even make a killing because the risk adjusted real return is probably 7% due to how many people default on the 24% loans.
Or you have good credit but dont know how to buy a car and the dealership sells you or lies to you into a 24% or more rate which happens AAALOT

Well, if by parasitic you mean trying to make money then all banks, businesses and people are parasitic.

Such is the nature of being a living creature fighting entropy LOL

Just because you know have enough awareness of the market to recognize shady businesses doesn't mean you have bad credit.

Pro tip: open a high yield money market account, not a CD, rates are comporable, and your funds are fluid, and, rates will continue to rise more as the inflation damage control marches on.
