Counter Terrorism Officer: Sir, do you know what these Instant Pots can be used for?
Redditor: Are you KIDDING! What can’t it be used for – Yogurt, rice, slow cooker – I can make corn bread and BBQ chicken at THE SAME TIME!!
Officer: …..
Redditor: Wait, come back – you gotta try my cheesecake! It’s KETO!
Haha
Mr. Bettinger, who said he frequently consults with Mr. Schwab, still chairman, said he is unfazed. “The rest of the industry ends up having to copy us anyway.”
Schwab article is an interesting read – but to be honest what it sounds like to me is that Schwab said “We suck. We should do something different. Hey – Look at Vanguard, they are doing well. We should be like Vanguard”.
I mean they implemented a lot of things Vanguard doesn’t have like the checking account.
Wsj article behind paywall
Google Anti-Paywall Extension – they should have it available for both Chrome and FireFox – you should find it after running into some reddit threads. Actually – here is the Github page for it: https://github.com/nextgens/anti-paywall
I downloaded it just now because (I too) wanted to read that article badly.
Does this work for you? https://share.qz.com/news/2410169/body/
@qmc That worked, thanks!
