Biden has rational and sane ideas that have a good chance to being implemented. The debate stage is a horrible judge of a candidate’s ideas. I read the more detailed responses from their writings instead. Biden has one of the most well developed plan out of all the candidates besides Yang and Gabbard.

Uber could have some aspects of their operations in low cost states like customer service or AP.  Hell, they could have their HQ in the outskirts of the Bay Area like Morgan Hill and it would still be cheaper and they would still get access to their engineer talent.

This idea would work well in underserved rural locations where it is harder to get people to drive out there than to have a car parked and ready to ferry passengers.  There would also be less people to run over.

Bloggers gotta eat so viewers gotta click. Office space with views of Times Square ain’t cheap, yo.

Honda Element fans rejoice!

I’d love to see the logic as to why the stock is priced the way it is.

For starters, they spent a heart stopping $1 billion on their posh downtown SF HQ. They also were reported to spend lavishly on stupid shit like $200K/year on balloons.

The first several round investors made bank. It is the subsequent rounds that placed nose bleed valuations on a money pit.

Don’t be a cheap ass.  Tip your driver.  Preferably in cash.

They fill out Schedule C where they deduct all allowed expenses under a business before it goes to the income section of the Individual 1040 form. There should not be anything stopping them from doing this as long as they have the supporting documentation.

Sure. What is one or two stabbings here and there during the rush hour commute. It is just another day on the train, right?

My point is massive changes to marginal individual INCOME rates are irrelevant because rich people derive most of their income from dividends, interest, and capital gains, not wages for their cash flows.

My point I was trying to make is the top earners are the people who fund the government. Massive changes to marginal individual INCOME rates are irrelevant because rich people derive most of their income from dividends, interest, and capital gains, not wages for their cash flows.

As with all things in life, the truth is somewhere in between the differing narratives. There will be a population of people who do this for a living for whatever reason. There will also be a population that does this part time and some who are very savvy about how to maximize profits.

“If you want people to abandon private automobiles willingly, invest in GOOD public transportation”

If you want people to abandon private automobiles willingly, invest in GOOD public transportation. There can not be strikes to interrupt service. It can not rain underground. Crime on the bus or subway needs to have zero tolerance. Otherwise, the government will undermine public confidence in the service and…

Marginal rates are not relevant. What matters is the effective rate or what people actually pay. That number has not changed very much over time for various reasons.

It doesn’t. These fuckers should be running their operations extraordinarily lean. There is no reason to blow cash on extravagant office space for their HQ.

You understand fatal deaths are outliers, too, right? Over 99% of drivers don’t kill people while driving on a daily basis.

How about the prior gen Rav-4 with the V6 option?
