Not unethical to list it high, no.  But to add markups based upon who is buying, yes, and in the case of housing potentially illegal.

Just over two decades ago, I toured a USN minesweeper during a public relations event. They mentioned that they were STILL finding sea mines in the Mediterranean, and only about half of the sea mines that were laid were ever recovered. That’s a pretty sobering statistic, considering how many hundreds of…

Well, flour can explode.  Dramatically.  That tends to make people sit up and take notice.

It seems odd to me when businesses find they have too many customers, and complain about that state of affairs.

Order books are currently insane, though. I don’t see a serious recession—maybe a slackening—because everyone is STILL working through enormous backlogs.  I’ve been talking to vendors whose backlogs are 2X what they previously were.

Yeah, no. That’s the lowest common denominator of meatball sandwiches, to the point that I’d rather have a pre-made salad from my local grocery store. But if that’s the way your tastes run, go for it, my dude. :-)

Two NYC (Atomix, Le Bernardin), one California (SingleThread).

On a related note, I had two nearly-complete loaves of bread mold over the course of 4 days, when they usually last 2-3 weeks. Ugh.

Just wait. XD

I agree with you. I’m always thinking of ways to get to that point before someone gets killed, and that includes the shooter. Stepping down the levels of danger and tension is what negotiation is about, and I wonder what about the situation changed at 4:30am.

At what point does he no longer become a danger?

Thanks, that’s what I was about to ask. Show me the bottom line, not the top line.

You may be astonished to find out how much higher wage theft is than shoplifiting. I’ll save you some Googling: it’s an order of magnitude higher. And there’s plenty of employee theft to compete with shoplifting shrinkage, even beyond that, but I’m guessing that you already know that.

I’d normally say “Don’t tell Scalzi,” but I’m guessing he already knows.

As noted by others below, it’s less about the taxes because of the principal business location, but because of extensive laws and that long history of legal precedence for business law. “Lawyers are EXPENSIVE, yo.”

I gotta wonder how much of the TSLA shine is wearing off, because P/E multiples are responsible for a lot of the recent market drop. TSLA had pretty high multiples, and with an inflationary economic environment, people don’t want to pay those multiples any more.

So?

Came here for this, not leaving disappointed.

Man, now I’m getting very macabre ideas.  Please don’t feed my necromantic imagination.

Interesting. Is any of that $7500 eligible for a tax carryforward into future years?
