There were many new tax deductions, but they did not apply to the wealthy as they were phased out at higher income levels.

Nah. It's got its original 340 V8, but bored, stroked, ported, forged crank & rods, gear drive, roller cam system. Dynoed at 400 hp. I can't remember seeing another one (Dodge Challenger) on the road for decades. My original p

Some animals are social in behavior, others are not. Humans are social animals. Why would one believe that social behavior is learned, not inherited? Selective breeding of foxes has turned them into social animals.

I've eschewed collision insurance, and what I've saved on those premiums is far more than the cars were worth.

I would certainly agree that one gets taught more refined and nuanced notions of right and wrong, but those are innate feelings. At least for me. I recall seeing a TV show where they studied very young people by putting them in right and wr

I have other memories when I was 4, and talked about them with my parents years later. Another significant one is I wandered away and got lost in London, and some cops noticed me and picked me up and took me to the station. My parents fille

> You expect this behaviour from a first-timer in the sim, not a commercial cargo pilot. I'm curious - are commercial pilots reprimanded for doing a go-round after messing up the approach?

The most ridiculous one was a poster who claimed that MCAS would run the trim at double the rate of the trim switches. The trim motors only have 2 speeds - on and off.

Before going any further, I suggest taking a deeper dive into Standard Oil and its so-called "monopoly". Start with "Titan" by Chernow. SO was basically convicted of "making too much money", and the government

Being an employer means you will find out. Employees are not weak and feeble. They quit all the time for more money elsewhere, or just don't want to work. And there's NOTHING you, as employer, can do about it.

Not my experience. I accidentally killed a baby bird when I was little. It still hurts when I think about it. Some kids are indeed savages. But not all of us.

That simply was not true for me.

A good doctor will present many options for you. I had hernia surgery a while ago. I went over the options with the surgeon, the varying surgical methods used, including doing nothing about it. Medicine is not "if A then B".

I miss the 70's when I was in high school. I had a great time. It's one reason why I drive a '72 Dodge. I feel like a kid in it every time.

> Children have no concept of violence or empathy or right or wrong This is not correct. I remember having a sense of shame when I was 4 when I tried to hurt another kid. Kids will also hide the things they do wrong, because they know it

A turboprop is a jet engine :-) Today's high bypass jet engines also qualify as a turboprop. The sound of a Merlin V12 coughing into life is just pure joy. My dad had the best job in the world flying P-51s (powered by Merlins). I hired

Cutting consumer prices by 70% is not "abusive". SO's market share never exceeded 90% and it declined during the years of the anti-trust trial. By cutting launch prices 90%, is SpaceX also an abusive monopoly?

Not true. For every medical condition, there are a very large number of treatment options, with a wide variety of efficacy, pain, and cost. For example, I bet you could enumerate plenty of weight loss options off the top of your head.
