I don’t disagree, but it’s an important distinction to make that Apple is not the bank in this scenario. Goldman Sachs is the bank. Apple is basically just whitelabeling in the same way every store nowadays wants you to get their credit card. Macy’s giving you a credit card with their name on it does not make them a bank. Same goes for Apple.
Yes, hence the unusual spike in this case

Why are they reimagining anything? Hasn’t BattleBit proven that what Battlefield really needs is to go back to its roots? Just make Bad Company 3!
The best argument I’ve hard in favor of dealers is that they introduce competition in sales of a single brand of vehicle. Instead of Ford having a monopoly on Ford vehicles and selling for MSRP only, you can shop around Ford dealerships that all sell the same product but have to compete with eachother on price or whatever.
That system starts to break down when, like in recent years, dealerships collectively decide to stop selling vehicles for MSRP or below and all tack on thousands of bullshit dealership markup fees. Also dealerships are exclusively run by scum of the Earth which massively taints the entire car shopping experience.
Pretty sure my dog has built one at this point

The Fed has massively increased interest rates in the past year or so to fend off a recession. That’s in part what led to the recent bank failures, because the banks made stupid investments hinging on low interest rates. As a whole, it’s been working wonders for the economy. Things have been stabilizing and fears of a recession have lowered.
In short, yes, 4.15% is on the good side, but it’s also pretty common in the US right now. Some savings accounts have 5%+ last time I checked, though those are harder to come by and often have stupid rules attached.
