Tax math: it's the marginal tax rate you have to look at for deductions, i.e. the rate you'll pay on the next dollar you earn, or save on the dollar you deduct. We don't have a flat tax at the Federal level, or most states.

If the houses are unaffordable, then they will remain unsold. What am I missing? Maybe people who have more money move in from elsewhere. Or else the seller drops the price, or pulls it off the market. One last possibility: someone buys it

Only people whose knowledge of history begins with WW II think everything is Munich, and that analogy applies to everything. There was 6,000 years of recorded history before Munich. It's not always correct to think that "if we app

The advantage of Reddit could also be seen as a disadvantage: There are SO MANY subreddits. It's bad in that you don't always know which one to go to. Good in that if you don't like one, there's another one that's v

Ah, Marxism: that 19th century idea that refuses to die no matter how often it fails. You would think, wouldn't you, that the several dozen countries over the last 100 years that became avowedly Marxist, and turned into prison farms th

> The Post kept track of the lies. The paper calculated that by the end of his term the President had lied 30,573 times. There it is right in the first paragraph. Does The Post keep the number of Biden's lies? At least CNN listed th

I'm not a denier of AGW. However, I think you're wrong to lump all those people in with anti-Darwinists. AGW comes freighted with Green baggage, and some of the people who reject it are largely rejecting the Green baggage. They

Or don't have any choice. One test of that would be, do they opt for more personal space if the chance arises?

The "harm" is that you're competing with more people for parking, sidewalk space, spots in the gym, space in the supermarket aisles... on and on.

No, it's that humans don't like crowding. More competition for everything.

Yes, better not look at the data, because that's what the Bad People do.

Shortcut for reading these comments: if anyone says "conspiracy theory" or "anti-vaxxer" you can stop reading them right away. They're just ideological warriors. Being scientists, we can design a longitudinal test (

Rather than think of REDACTED as "labor" it might be more helpful to think of him as a star NBA player. The term "labor" applies more to the players in the D-league. If you're Steve Ballmer and you want Giannis Ante

You could research that; of course you'd have to control for "having committed a crime in the first place."

Actually, that's provably false: older people commit fewer crimes.

"Of cuz" ?? I or anyone else could certainly do like you do. I'd just read China Daily https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Daily and repeat what they say.

"low quality" means "CCP doesn't like it?" Let's suppose, hypothetically, that you wanted to demonstrate that you're not a CCP troll. What opinions do you have that contradict the CCP's position? (I d
