If I can just jump in here for a sec... I couldn't help but notice...

I think the real crux of the matter is whether people actually have the right to try treating themselves with nothing but donuts.
In my book? Nah, they don't. But—and this is a big but—they absolutely have the right to find their own path to getting healthy however they see fit.

To put it another way: you’ve got professionals handling actual medical care, whereas some random advice on a message board about "curing" stuff with pastries isn't exactly medical treatment.

So, my final take: just rename that PDF to something like "alternative health" or whatever.

Stipe Petrin

So, what do you guys think—do you side with Stipe Petrin on this one? He’s basically saying that once those folks get elected to Congress, their pay should stay exactly where it was before they even stepped foot in the building. Like, no big mid-term raises just because they landed a seat. You guys with him?

Hey, quick question—is there any way to toss a poll into a thread that’s already up and running?

It wasn't worth it, really. I mean, there was zero reason for me to go back and edit my posts, and even less reason for the mods to step in—which is pretty obvious since you ended up restoring a post I actually wanted gone.

Use the Insert image option, unless the file size is massive. I restored the post.

I will, once the post actually exists! It’s kind of hard to use something that isn't there, just like how I used it when it was still live.

PS: honestly, there's an add-on for vBulletin that handles automatic Reeseing for images—it would be a total lifesaver if you guys just implemented it instead of making life difficult for the users.

Go back and read that opening post again—but this time, take your sweet time with it.
Then, go check out the deleted one. And I mean, really look at it.
Notice the difference.

So, basically, I dropped two posts with the exact same text but used different links in the thread. One of them got nuked immediately.


Can someone please just give me my post back?

P.S. Daniel Ward87, look—I’m more than happy to walk you through how to actually upload an image online and grab a link for a forum. 👍 It seems like you're struggling a bit, since your post got deleted along with all those helpful comments trying to point out where you went wrong.

March 28th
Basically feels like waiting for those massive federal reforms from Paul Peterson2 to finally kick in 🙄

Basically, looking for a different bank.

But which one? Have you guys decided on the best option yet? Right now, I really need a solid checking account—both domestic and foreign currency—and I’ll be looking at taking out a loan sometime in the next two years (thinking about building a house, maybe some kind of investment loan).

edit: also, having a killer mobile app like the one Bank of America has would be pretty huge.

Don't sweat it, people aren't going to lose their cash; it'll just flow from one pocket to another.

Board Member
Lorenzo Ramajola (born '75) earned his economics degree at the University of California. Back in 2004, he joined the UniCredit Holding Company within the Integration Office. Fast forward to 2008, and he moved over to ATF Bank—one of the UniCredit Group's subsidiaries—over in Kazakhstan. There, he took charge of Planning and Control, Asset and Liability Management, and Capital Management, eventually stepping up to become the Board Member in charge of Finance Management in July 2011. Once ATF Bank was sold off, he circled back to the UniCredit Group in August 2013 to join the M&A team.

The exact same thing happened in Kazakhstan, and honestly, it’s going to happen here in America too 🍿

Zira is headed straight for paradise (well, basically a total meltdown) in just about a year!

Just look at how many Zira branches they’ve shuttered over the last couple of years versus how many they've actually opened—spoiler alert: it's not looking good.
And how many branches are even left in downtown or the greater metropolitan area of NYC? Not many!

Moving everything over to IB? Yeah, okay, sure. As if. 🙄
Bank of America has officially jumped into first place!

But hey, let's ignore the stuff the average customer actually notices for a second.
A few months back, the middle and top Management at Zira were having a massive identity crisis. Nothing weird, you might say—they love shuffling things around every few years. But man, those business calls were bizarre—like putting the HR director in charge of Finance? Talk about a weird shake-up.
But hey, if they think that's a genius move... whatever.

Anyway, let's get right to the heart of the matter.
The Fed Chair Vujčić basically handed the Zira Board of Directors an 8 (that's eight, folks!) member group.
Is there any other bank in this whole country that operates with such a weird, uneven number of board members?
How are they even supposed to vote or make decisions without a tie-breaker?!

Are the red flags starting to pop up for you yet?

Zira just hired the perfect employee to finish the job: someone whose sole mission is to kill the bank!
The client behind the scheme? The Italians.

By early 2017, Zira will be gone. Maybe Bank of America grabs them, or maybe we'll see the biggest shareholders play it smart under Luković's leadership... we'll see.

Honestly, you just gotta tackle that by setting up some solid anti-spam filters and a CAPTCHA right in the admin control panel—kind of like how you'd enable automatic image resizing so you aren't constantly nagging users to resize their own files manually, you know?

That’s definitely the move I’d make...
