Pretty sure that's wrong. Employer premium contributions for employees and their opposite-sex spouses and tax dependents are 100% deductible as business expenses under federal and state tax law. This is true regardless of business typ

In the US, if your employer pays for your health insurance, they pay for it with pre-tax dollars. If you buy it, you buy with post tax dollars. That's why employers pay for it in lieu of paying you more. If your employer pays for you

I don't think I fit your description of those who don't like the ACA, but I don't like it none the less. I believe we could fix health care costs by removing just one law. Stop making health insurance a tax deductible employ

Yes, as rdl said, buy out of the money PUTS. You'll 5-10x your money. There are multiple ways to take a short position ;) Anyway, this was in jest. But I also wanted to bring attention to the fact that TSLA is in unique position t

>Posessing money makes it easy to aquire things Flat out wrong. There are three ways to acquire things: - Trade (with money or goods of value) - Beg - Steal I ordered that list in order of HARDEST to EASIEST way to acquire things.

About income, no. About stealing yes. If you are on the dole and you are a buying things that aren't necessary to survive, you are stealing. A relative of mine owns several condos and some of his renters are "Section 8". Th

I agree. Two different things being discussed as one. 1) Everyone should have at least one outfit that is super classy. A cheap solution is a Salvation Army or Goodwill store in a nice part of town. 2) People who live on the dole and buy

It's about daylight exposure, not temp. Working indoors is a relatively new phenomenon in humans and effects us all a little differently. When it's dark when you go into work, and you don't have a corner office, and it'

"deniers" Really? You do realize that word is usually used in the phrase "holocaust deniers" and was purposely appropriated by AGW followers to discredit anyone that doesn't subscribe their beliefs. Now that is pro

It seems, at an academic level, the point of all climate research is to get more funding for more research. At a political level, it's about control. AGW is a religion, pure and simple. We are all sinners (producers of CO2), scientis

by IanDrake 13y ago
The problem with your line of thinking is that Climate Change isn't N vs NP. This stops being a scientific problem when it becomes a political one. I'm not going to let someone tell me what I can and can't do just because th

Just thinking out loud here... Can anyone think of other cases where science is used to predict the future of complex systems more than 2 years in advance? I'm not talking about moore's law, but statistical models used to predict

I take 3mg and it works to help me sleep after an hour. I try to get to bed by 10:30. My biggest problem still is that my alarm at 6AM wakes me during my active dream cycle and most restful sleep. I'm not sure how to time shift that

Yes, predictive modeling is easy when the you don't have to prove you're accurate. They just keep building more models yielding new predictions to cover all the bases so, when the future does come, they can claim success and forge
