What’s weird about flying places to buy cars? Ever since the internet allowed you to search nationwide for a car, why would you limit your search? I’ve saved thousands buying cars from hundreds of miles a way, even after counting the cost of travel or shipping the car back to me. Family and I have been doing this…

Also “Neither title contender deserved to lose” when Hamilton was soundly beaten on track and only in it at the end due to crashing out his rival violently and without punishment rather than lose yet again as the season was getting out of reach means the author is clearly just a whiny Hamilton fan.

“Neither driver deserved to lose” Really? Tell me you’re a Hamilton Homer without telling me you’re a Hamilton Homer. Lewis got beat this year. Badly. And that’s a good thing, it had become hard to watch F1 yet again due to such dominance, no one likes to watch a “contest” with the same winner every time. After the…

It’s a farce because Verstappen and Red Bull won both championships weeks ago, but might end up officially losing. Hamilton should have been excluded from Silverstone and received a race ban for the move, meaning 50 of his points aren’t legitimate. It’s been a messy season, both drivers pushing the limits a lot, but…

But it doesn’t have to be a million dollars. A few years ago, I refinanced my house to lower my rate and take some money out, used that to buy equipment for a business I was starting and was able to end up with ~$0 in income for the year despite working a normal w2 job all year.

Exactly. Been on the ev train for 3 years, never driven it more than 100 miles in a day. When I need to go farther, I trade with friends or family or rent. There’s no reason you can’t have a car that is great for 99% of your days and use something else when you need to. I don’t and don’t want to own everything I’ll…

Alternate solution, Make them one giant state. Ah, never mind, I can’t pass up the chance to end up with states like “North Minnekota,” “Idana,” or “Kanska”

Education prices are cheaper. It’s not a discount until it’s below apple’s education pricing since they require absolutely no verification or lying to get the education price.

My property tax on my house goes up every three years. Not because of rate hikes, but because of assessed value hikes. I don’t take money out of my house, but I’m taxed on its value anyway. This tax makes absolute sense. And while I know it doesn’t even come close to pretending to think about ever affecting anyone who…

Pay drivers don’t actually pay for their seat, generally they bring investments or sponsorship to the team worth many times their salary. And there are still many pay drivers. Mazepin for one. But even Alonso when he was reigning and recent champion brought more sponsorship money to his team than his salary cost,…

It’s well documented. He’s posted videos of himself groping women for one. If that’s what he does when the cameras are watching, and puts out for the world to see, he must be a real gentleman in private. 

magic mountain is open year round now. If it’s 65 and sunny in January with 10 million plus potential visitors living within a 2 hour drive, why would you close for the winter? They did close most weekdays during the school year in the past, but even then it’s about 450 potential free meals during the year. Plus by…

So a game made by a company that’s never really needed to seek a profit or pay taxes has so many taxes and so few ways to make money that people have to resort to bartering? Color me shocked. 

Speaking of unions, Boeing wants to build all their 787s at the non-union South Carolina plant, but the non-union workers are so much worse than the union ones that many airlines have refused delivery of planes built there. It’s almost like unions not only help workers get the wages and benefits they deserve, but also…

Some are quitting to stop working. At least for now. There’s less crap around to buy, many people have worked more hours for a good long while, savings rates are still at generational highs. Work sucks more than ever. Less childcare is available. Etc. For some percentage of people, it is 100% a legitimate choice to…

It has nothing to do with banks. It’s just trying to stop people who use apps like Venmo to get paid for their side gig avoiding income tax. You can still send $15k to anyone as a gift with almost no scrutiny, you just can’t accept more than $600 as payment for goods/services without needing a 1099. That’s always been…

There. Saved you over $100. 

There. Saved you over $100. 

this is really the story in most industries with staff shortages these days. So much of our economy relied on exploiting and underpaying people until they felt they had no time or resources to train for something better. Giving people time off and a helping hand allowed so much of the exploited class a chance to find…

It only favors union guys when they build it, unless I really don’t understand things. So either Ford moves the EV production to somewhere like the Ohio plant they promised would have it, or they get even less tax credits than Teslas, which get some credit for being US built. Also, I’d favor incentives to buy…

But what if the main goals are to encourage sparks leading toward a potential rebirth of a robust and sustainable middle class? Then you not only want the climate outcome, more EVs, but also the labor benefitting outcome, more money going to workers rather than asshole technocrats. This subsidy encourages Tesla, and…
