He was literally “some guy at the local course.” Tour caddies don’t get 10% of winnings just for carrying bags. If you could make a living on tour with someone who only carries the bag, no professional golfer would employ a regular caddie. They’d grab a local every time and save themselves the 10%. The dude made a…

Plausible. The hard part will be pointing this finger at political enemies without divulging they deduced this shit from the metadata that runs over AWS...

Take your damn star...

What is, “Start with a large one?” I’ll take Dad jokes for $400, Alex...

The dealer isn’t stocking shit. They call out to a local parts house or buy from the same online distributors. And the only thing they are eating if the part goes bad is labor. No one is saying they can’t make money. But a 100% uplift on the price I, as an individual, can buy the part for is obscene. (Because they…

I get the closure part. But...

I miss my 88 targa so much, now...

His base doesn’t fly.  Other than that, I agree this forces their hand.

This is straight-up dumb. If she can’t vote for a spending bill that includes funding for ICE, she is completely off the board and everyone knows it. It wasn’t a deciding vote, today. Doesn’t mean she won’t always be a deciding vote. There are other ways to abolish ICE.  (I still think she is pretty awesome...)

Gardner has crossed the isle on this budget shit, though.  (At least he said he was going to.)  To many federal employees in CO to ignore.

Sales taxes, even “luxury taxes,” tend to be really regressive and create a lot of black/grey market economies.  If you want progressive taxation, income/wealth taxes are the way to go.  Note: you literally cannot buy the foodstuffs you mention within walking distance where much of the working class poor actually…

Note: Short term capital gains are currently taxed as ordinary income.  I messed that up.

I’ve been arguing this for years. Treat all income the same!

I’m not saying it isn’t fair. I’m saying it isn’t necessary, and only really stupid people will get caught by it. The truly wealthy don’t earn money the same way you and I do. The compensation packages these folks put together for themselves are tailored to avoid as much income tax as possible. They routinely shift…

This is currently correct.  

We are on the same page for the most part. I’m just arguing that separate taxation for capital gains is actually the more glaring issue if you really want people who are already wealthy to actually pay their fair share to support the public infrastructure and rule of law that actually make these kinds of earning…

Extreme marginal tax rates are bullshit unless you do away with “capital gains” as an income class. Treat all income the same and you don’t even need a marginal tax rate above 45-50%. Plus, you have the added benefit of actually getting “old money” to pay their fair share. The reason the truly wealthy are able to…

Because he wants to make sure you are someone who pays their bills.  Evictions cost money...

The only weird thing I notice is his completion stats for right and left sides of the field. His percentage is substantially higher on the right side. Not sure if there is something funky with his footwork/motion, or if its just that they tend to put Ross on the right side of the formation. ESPN pointed it out after…

If you don’t have reliable broadband, you aren’t going to have 5G coverage anytime soon. 5G, using 5G spectrum, requires fiber or cable backhaul VERY close to the user. (Think 100M to 1KM.) IF a carrier chooses to deploy 5G tech in some lower frequency bands, then you do overcome some of the distance requirements.…
