They haven't done the research nor are they likely capable or motivated to.
For most people, stock market investing is pretty easy:
    - Buy VTI. If possible, do it in an IRA or 401k.
    - Hold on to it.
The Bogleheads philosophy absolutely works.

The challenge for many is having funds to invest, especially if they do stupid things like gambling in prediction markets.

Note that not signing up for your IRS online account (and others, like social security) comes with its own risk - it makes it easier for a someone else to claim that account, and then redirect the payments and correspondence to to themselves.

Yes, there are checks and safeguards to try to prevent this, but
a) Authentication is a very hard problem to solve.
b) Much of the privileged data used for this authentication was just given to Palantir et. al. by the DOGE assholes.

"And less than two miles across the state line in Southaven, Mississippi, is an xAI-owned energy plant with over two-dozen towering gas turbines."

"The hearing centered on a then-proposed permit allowing an xAI subsidiary to install over 40 permanent gas turbines at its Southaven plant. Those machines would replace 27 temporary turbines that have operated without permits for the better part of a year."

I skimmed a couple of your links. They:
a) did not disagree about the realignment, just the cause.
b) were heavy with purple prose, and light on citations.

Guess you had to resort to petty insults since you are losing so many arguments in the thread you started.
- "supposed to" is not a synonym for "I wish it was"
- I haven't made any statements about LinkedIn's quality one way or another.
- I do not plan to respond to any more of your posts.

My point is that the people worried about 'destroying Confederate history' are much more worried about the 'Confederate' part of that phrase.

No idea why that would be specific to California in any way, or how a couple of examples demonstrate a negative.

And are you seriously trying to make an argument that the Democratic Party of the Lost Cause era is the same party as today?

There are a bunch of vertical tab extensions:
https://chromewebstore.google....

Every time I've tried one, both in Firefox and Chrome, there's been something clunky about it.

Many of them could not hide the horizontal bar well, so sometimes you had tabs at both the top and the bottom. Others had trouble integrating with UI elements at the top of the window. Often you had to set preferences deep in some config files.

Apparently tabs are deeply integrated into the browser code, and the extension hooks simply didn't provide everything needed.

That same integration issue also means that tab extensions have have access to everything, and therefore create a security issue.
