And do you really think the government would return the taxes on those (as yet unrealized) losses, after collecting then on the (as yet unrealized) gains?  Yarite.

You weren’t taxed on the increase in value of your property. Real estate taxes are different and have a different basis than income taxes. If you sell your house, and make a profit on it, you pay income tax on those profits at that time, not before you sell. Again, real estate taxes are a different thing. Now, if you…

The time from creation of PPP to distribution of funds was incredible. The volume of loans this created was insane and was not anything the SBA was setup to handle. Sure, there were some problems but overall it was amazing how well it went.

Who cares?

If you try to narrow the program to keep out people you think don’t deserve the help, you run the risk that people who really do need it aren’t able to get it.

I mean, any benefits program that is deliberately drawn broadly to avoid shutting out people who need it is going to run into this—if your inclined to you’re going to be able to find recipients who, for one reason or another, you think don’t “deserve” to get the money. Personally, I like programs with broad access…

Yep, all I learned from this blog post is that I apparently live in a mansion.

Is it OK to hold a little cardboard sign? Yes. Should she have been more aware of her situation at the time? Yes. Does this same thing happen thousands of times in every Tour de France with far less catastrophic results? Yes. Do drunken idiots do things that are 100 time worse that this in every mountain stage of the…

Yeah, totally justifies shooting down a civilian plane...

Lol. Really? You honestly think it’s a bad thing that ICE can use github...? This cancel culture nonsense is exactly why Trump is going to win in 2020. Every single action like this further alienates those of us who actually want to beat Trump in 2020. Pathetic.

Do you REALLY want a world where every company feels compelled or encouraged to deny basic services to political opponents?

Thing of it is, in the United States of America, administrations can and do change. By the very will of the American people. This ain’t China.

Are the same people arguing that MS should decline to do business with particular customers, over an issue that they personally find morally objectionable, the same people that are saying a baker has to bake a cake for a customer to use to celebrate something they personally find morally objectionable?

It is currently unknown which of the dozen remaining Democratic presidential campaigns is among those targeted.

AHHHH Yes gizmodo. Orange man bad

That’s the problem though, generally both sides want symbolic change, like the main argument in the US is to ban the AR platform, which accounts for less than 300 deaths per year (300 per year is all rifles in all formats). Symbolic change is pretty much doing nothing and patting their selves on the back for it.

While we need to fix up and standardize the laws across the US (the disparity from state to state alone is pretty bad), I wish they’d standardize the definition of “mass shooting” the numbers that shows over 200 this year include two people shooting at each other in gang activity, people on private property, etc..

You forgot to mention the birth certificate looked shady as hell (didnt even have his mothers name on it) and he was picked up in the company of another illegal person.
