Consider SimpleFin Bridge [0] - it's essentially a wrapper around MX (Plaid competitor) that lets you very simply pull your own credit card/bank data for $15/yr.

One option I'd recommend for anyone working towards this is to use the SimpleFIN Bridge [0], which is basically an API wrapper around MX (a Plaid competitor) designed for personal use by the same people that make Budgeting with Buckets. Data security is definitely an issue, but I value having my transactions automatically imported more than I'm concerned about the risk of SimpleFIN being breached.

I've personally used SimpleFIN to provide automatic imports in my own personal, kind-of selfhostable personal finance tool [1].

In that case, shouldn't recessions instantly resolve themselves? When the price in stocks goes down significantly there's pretty much a guarantee that it'll come back up eventually, so wouldn't any prudent investor buy the dip?

As the parent comment said, the only explanation that really adds up would be that the amount of "available money" in the economy must be going down as a result of defaults on credit.

But as a consumer it's very nice to have hours of operation, directions, phone numbers, and reviews all in one place that's linked to my search engine.

I can see how, if Google's top priority is turning a profit, Google having a product so data-rich and unified that it leaves no room for competitors is bad for consumers in the long term. On the other hand, the most desirable option would be a reliably "benevolent" mega-corp that could be trusted to prioritize the user experience while also horizontally integrating across product segments to create a unified service.

They already are - looks like a super cool opportunity, too, 12-18 months in Taiwan!

Does multiple counts served concurrently mean that the effective sentence is just the longest individual sentence?

Also: I'm seeing from various websites that the maximum time-left-to-serve for minimum security (federal prison camp) is 10 years, but nothing definitive - [1] is the most in-depth but only specifies this requirement for male prisoners, whereas other requirements are clearly distinguished between male and female.
