This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

banks usually offer savings accounts exactly for this purpose. they are very low percentage, so you don't get much income from it (unless the saving are like upwards of tens of thousands USD). the main benefit is that its usually enough to offset inflation

Fully online banks offer a significantly higher percentage with the downside being you have no physical place to withdraw from in an emergency (most have strict ATM limits). I keep an emergency fund in a big corpo bank so I can get it anywhere in the country, then all the other money is in a fully online savings account.

This is much better than it all sitting in a checking account gaining nothing, but maybe not quite what they meant if they already do this.
