This was a trending topic on Twitter last week, and some of the criticism was how the story ignored the hundreds of dollars this family would have received from the Child Tax Credit to offset the costs. https://www.marketwatch.co

Just some counterpoints: 1. While there might be attempts to "juke" 409a valuations, a tax on capital appreciation still makes founders wealthier if their stock holdings appreciates in value. They might get 75 cents for every doll

A tax on personal unrealized capital gains will not take away any money from the company. It's privately-held, and has no effect on a company's balance sheet.

I really don't like how the OP phrased this one, because it's about more than knowing the value of your car. This paper was published in 1970, but it demonstrated how markets can fail, as well as a method of correcting that failur

I like to wander around art museums, and on one visit, I shared a gallery with what seemed like a private tour group. One woman was conducting the tour for three people, when they stopped at one of these all-white paintings. She was describ

The problem with your logic is two-fold, (1) speech doesn't have to advocate for violence or harm for it to create violence and harm, and (2) you're conflating government with culture. As a group of people, a company is entitled t

On second thought, judging by the endorsement deals of these tennis players in 2019, maybe it is an order of magnitude greater: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2019/08/26/high...

The key similarity in all those situations was a loss of productive capacity. The Confederate currency wasn't backed by any assets, so it lost value as their defeat became more likely. Apparently, it lost 20% of it's value after t

I think the problem is that homes are also designed to cool, efficiently, which is why many a/c and heater units are in the attic with vents in the ceiling. This means that they tend to heat homes more inefficiently than in places that

It might not be fear of a bank run, but of enforcement from the SEC or FINRA for not maintaining sufficient net capital. If they did run afoul of these regulations, it's probably advisable to not admit it on televised interviews. That

Part of the reason is because it's a set order. Consider that in pricing his beef normally, the vendor has to account for three things: 1. Beef that sells within 35 days at regular price 2. Beef that sells within 60 days as a discounte

My problem with his solution is that it lacks two key components of an implementable design, better incentives and a competitive advantage. As a result, you'd seemingly need an authoritarian government to force these types of changes,

There are three things that bother me: 1. Using "true story," then telling a very general story without any citation. That he did it twice was worrying. 2. People like the writer who treat our current understanding of science as i

Price controls is an unfairly simple way to say that the company signed a long-term contract in which the city covered 2/3rds of the construction costs and set the fare at a maximum of 5 cents for most rides for the next 49 years. When
