Exactly.

Exactly. This is how the balance works.

It is, but the majority of Americans can still probably afford some form of investment.

Did you miss the part where she had to put up a million to begin with?

The point being isn’t that Americans can’t invest—of course you can. The point is is that Rich people are playing an entirely different game than the average person. Propublica did an entire expose on how the rich uses existing tax laws to further enrich themselves, ensuring that wealth stays among the few, further…

These type of posts make one realize how little most people know about commercial loans. For something as boring and ostensibly predictable as a gas station with an assumedly decent track record of business, a bank would ABSOLUTELY loan someone the money to buy it. Banks love low-risk, predictable investments in which…

Sure, the law is applicable to both the rich and poor in the same way that laws banning sleeping under bridges or begging in the street is also applicable to both rich and poor.

Democrats are currently working towards repealing the SALT tax deduction caps—which will put more money into the hands of the wealthy, and less money into things that would benefit the public. 

Naw, it’s rich people’s math. She leveraged a million dollars. Poor people don’t have a million dollars.

Naw, it’s rich people’s math. She leveraged a million dollars. Poor people don’t have a million dollars.

Assuming she actually had an income tax bill of 1.1 million+, she also got to convert her regular income into capital gains income. She’d pay 23.8% on the depreciation amount vs the 37% she pays now. So essentially the government would pay her $145,000 to buy real estate, though property taxes would eat that up pretty…

She does go on to explain that if she sells the property in the future for the same price, she’ll owe taxes on that $3 million again. But until that day, she’s basically getting an interest-free loan from the government.

Agreed. The apocalypse jokes are getting OLD. The Walking Dead is done, we’re finished churning out zombie movies every year. We need to come up with something new to talk about with 4x4 adventure vehicles/campers.

This particular truck looks to be dumb because its entirely too large for pretty much anything other than driving to an established RV park.

I’m a fan of post apocalyptic fiction, but I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it’s a combination of over saturation of zombie shows and actual pandemic fatigue.

You can sometimes be a bit over the top, but this is pretty spot on. In the early days of blogging, you had weird people doing weird stuff for a small set of hyper online readers, but the writers weren’t all connected to the same social ecosystem.

Basically every online media outlet that in the 2000s and early ‘10s was an edgy independent outlet is now publishing endless low energy content and literally all written in the same exact voice and perspective because 100% of these people are spending most of their working day on Twitter.

My take for what it’s worth, the dodge 5500 or Ford 550 based versions that gxv sells would be a lot more practical for real off-road use. These along with their other heavy duty versions just seem to big for what they are made for

Nope. We have to pretend that someone who just moved to NYC to be a blogger is worried about the upcoming need to be a survivalist.
