OT:
I have a decent amount of savings in a BoA savings account. It garners a whopping .01% interest (yes, .01%, not 1%).
There's some money market accounts out there that are in the 4.5-5% range, 450x better than I'm currently getting to have my money sit there. Unfortunately they're all with tiny banks that feel like they could be the next SVB. Does anybody have experience with small banks for using them for money market, high-yield savings, or even CD accounts?

Yield is proportional to the risk.
Its not even that good, slightly higher yield and the risk is much higher.

So as long as a bank is FDIC insured, you're golden tbh.

The food vendor for school installed new vending machines. The machine take credit cards now but will charge a 10 cent fee. Worse, much much worse, the price of a water bottle went from $1 to $2.25.
People are upset. Most of the students are poor. When asked, the superintendent said that by state law, school cafes are "enterprise zones." Meaning the school lunch system has to turn a profit.

So much for the big moral panic over kids being marketed to.

I stopped buying water. Another teacher said the same thing too. I just leave a box of Costco ionized water in my car.
I assume a lot of kids stopped buying it too. I hope the students do a boycott or something.

Charging any kind of money for water at a school is the tip of the iceberg in terms of comic book levels of corporate villainy going on right now.
Waiting to hear about a kid bringing in unapproved-brand water, trading for a water, or another kid buying them a water, only for staff to confiscate it and dump it down the drain in front of all the other students. I wouldn't even blink at the headline at this point.

I look forward to school kids being charged for air.

People already are. Air cleaning isn't a public service. You buy a unit, pay to replace the filters, pay for the power to run it, and endure sniping about how you're ruining the environment while companies burn through watts they don't even need, and emit copious amounts of garbage into the environment behind the backs of the lecturers.
The world is in my hands. I must save the environment by carefully peeling the labels off my plastic recyclables, and brush my teeth with with tea tree oil (don't actually do that).
