Venmo has a limit of $3,000 per transaction so I think this is way overblown. I doubt you can buy a supreme court justice for a max of $21,000...

My ‘05 Jetta GLI was the most fun car I’ve ever known. With a few modifications it was a rocket and handled great. If it was AWD it would be perfect. I imagine the R32 and S4/RS4 would have been great too. 

Excellent shitty beer take. Miller Lite is fantastic. My family is very proudly a “Miller Lite” family.

Yeah I see what you mean. Not from the south so my perspective is likely wrong. Just trying to give a little consideration for the fact that people are shaped by the culture they are raised in and unfortunately sometimes that culture sucks (I.e. confederate flag waving south).

Okay so almost every person in the south is racist since they almost all have confederate flags somewhere. Not to mention those pictures are from before the country at large decided all people with confederate flags = racists. As I understand it, that flag is an identification with southern pride, which is also…

Robert Schiller’s Checklist for if something is a bubble...

What? It’s right here in the comment above mine...that’s exactly what you said.

If you just assume everyone should be automatically incentivized at $5M/year then you don’t understand how human behavior and capitalism function. You can’t just stick a ceiling on earnings cause $5M seems like “enough” to you.

Yes, the biggest barrier to upward mobility (besides inherent racism, sexism etc) is education.

90% income tax if you make over $5M a year?? What is the incentive to try to make money then? If you remove incentive to succeed (financially) uncapped, then you create an overall regression to the mean.

Potentially dumb question, but why don’t we start just shooting down the missiles they lob over Japan? Preferably Japan would do that but seems like they need some more equipment. I know the Standard Missiles are only test-proven in small sample sizes but if we can do it, shouldn’t we? Imagine if someone was lobbing…

I really wish they would go public so I could invest. One of my favorite consumer products companies. Everything they touch blows the competition away for half the price.

I really enjoy the Merritt Parkway in CT. No trucks, tree lined and set up in such a way that there aren’t many places for cops to hide. Thus, everyone drives a brisk 80 mph in a 55 zone.

Very well said. I graduated from college and started working at a startup made up of ~15 highly paid, executive-level people and myself. I quickly realized that they were all resume-padding, absolutely worthless, high-functioning morons.

They are very different. If you hit the ice with the force people hit the boards with you’d break bones. The boards are actually quite forgiving (relatively speaking). Ice is like hitting cement.

It’s because anyone with half a brain wouldn’t go near a political career. And those who do generally end up having to pander to the uneducated masses or the incumbent idiots to keep their job.

Russia runs and maintains all the air defense stuff as it’s theirs. Probably not a good idea to fly 1,000lb warheads into those.
