ParticipantDon’t harp on stupid crap. My 1990’s investment in Beanie Babies is sure looking good right about now.
In a hyperinflationary environment its possible that I may recoup my costs. But in case of hyperdeflation the beans may be removed and boiled for temporary sustenance. They just don’t make investment opportunities like this every day.

I was thinking along similar lines. The credit cards benefit from the “free” services when we slip up and service fees apply, for whatever reasons. Ending the “free” portion of their services sounds more like a move of desperation than a sound business plan.
Unfortunately, we will bail them out. So there is no incentive for them to make sound business decisions.

Participant“Prop. 13 has done a tremendous amount of damage to the state’s fiscal situation and, as your examples illustrate, has many negative side effects.”
despite proposition 13, property tax revenue has gone up nearly 10% annually for the past decade. This is much higher than (the official rate of) inflation during the same time period.
If we are nearly bankrupt after a decade of 9% annual increases in property tax revenue there is nearly certainly a spending problem rather than a lack of revenue problem, in my opinion.
Nice charts here in around the middle of the page:
