    I’m pretty sure that’s not how that works. The math is the same on either side of the owed/earned determination.

    If you start with 100$, and earn 10%, you now have 110$. If you owe 100$ and it earns 10% interest, you now owe 110$. This happens regardless of how much work that money is able to accomplish at the time.

    Debts won’t grow with inflation, but the math ends up being the same anyways because the actual money amount remains constant.

    More importantly, there is no guarantee of market inflation or deflation, much less a “hyper” version. The debt is a solid realised number. Getting rid of it is guaranteed money saved. Saving money in the market instead is a gamble against that debt, and not a guaranteed result, especially if you’re betting it on a less likely event such as hyperinflation.

    *edit

    And all of this is predicated on an either/or dichotomy. Really, if OP can, splitting between the two options based on their personal risk assessment is the better choice.

    It’s pretty obvious this one in particular is for idiots, but my car’s detect person sensor is so sensitive that it goes off when I have towels in the backseat. My solution was to leave the seatbelts plugged in all the time, but a decorative seatbelt silencer might have been nice. The plugged in seatbelt interferes with the middle seat drop down cupholder, so anytime I have a passenger with a cup we all have to deal with the alarm if they don’t put the seatbelt back in after lowering the cupholder.

    Maybe a rainbow one or something. Make it obvious so it doesn’t get lost in a sea of black carpets.

    *edit

    I did a quick google search, and they’re all “rawr I’m masculine and drink a lot” with a dash of ai-generated “this is safer because beeping is distracting please buy my stuff” articles. Nothing with rainbows. Almost all of them include a bottle opener but default, including the CAT and other ATV/construction equipment style ones. Not worth the effort to support that type of market.

    By miles, frankly. It had been on upward trend for a hot minute, actually. 2024 va had actually managed to change most of their issues into things that only sometimes happened, rather than things that were expected to happen most of the time.

    I can’t speak for every va hospital, but the ones I went to actually had reasonable wait times for providers (compared to the average private hospital, they were better) and for compensation it was miles ahead of of where it was in 2015, which was also miles ahead of where it was in 2005.
