Learned to play air guitar with that song.
Rain and snow flurries yesterday, lightening up today. hovering around low 40s day and 32 night.
Found a Credit Union offering 5.25% on a savings account. Voting with my feet and money and opening an account.
The banks get away with raising their rates on a whim but never raise it for savings accounts.
I do see it as conspiracy to defraud but all the state and federal AGs are tainted and owned.
I'm fighting back by taking business away from them by lending money to close family at 2% interest.
I'm still making almost 2% more than the interest I earn for having it in a savings account, which is .005%.
I stay away from any financial instrument because I demand instant access to my money.
Because of my age, the Feds are forcing me to take money out of my 401k account which they expect me to spend ( go shopping!--Bush 2007), or put it in the stock market, or put it in a .005% savings account.
Plus, the govmint get the tax revenue.

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Reuters) -President Joe Biden won almost all the Democratic nominating contests on "Super Tuesday" but a sizeable protest vote in Minnesota and six other states against his support for Israel again raised uncomfortable questions for his reelection campaign.

With almost 90% of the expected votes counted in Minnesota, 19% of Democrats marked their ballots "uncommitted" to show their opposition to Biden's backing for Israel's attacks against Hamas in Gaza.

The "uncommitted" vote was also on the Democratic ballot in six other Super Tuesday states - Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Tennessee.

Support in those states ranged from 3.9% in Iowa to 12.7% in North Carolina, with more than 85% of the votes counted in each of those states, according to Edison Research.

The Israeli military action has created a humanitarian disaster and killed over 30,000 people, Palestinian authorities in Hamas-ruled Gaza say. Israel is responding to Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks that killed 1,200, according to an Israeli tally.

Students, suburban women and liberal Jewish activists were among those who joined Muslim Americans to vote uncommitted, Edison said.

More than 100,000 people, or 13% of all voters, staged a similar protest in Michigan's Democratic primary last week.

Organizers in Minnesota had said they did not expect the protest to attract the same level of support as it did in Michigan, home to a large Arab American population. Instead, its share of the vote was even higher.

"That is a powerful way to send the administration a message," said Christian Peterson, 22, a law student at the University of Minnesota. "Biden needs to stop sending military aid to Israel."

Pro-Palestinian Democrats
The most striking result from a Democratic contest — excluding American Samoa — came in Minnesota. And it was bad news for Biden.

A campaign to vote “uncommitted”, driven by pro-Palestinian dissenters unhappy with Biden’s policy on Israel and Gaza, drew almost 20 percent of the vote.

Organizers of the effort noted that they had campaigned for just one week and spent a paltry $20,000.

The result outstripped the one achieved in Michigan last week, where 13 percent of Democratic primary voters chose “uncommitted.”

I thought this might be a good time....
