There are two possible reasons that someone might be generous with a justice: either because they like and want to support him, or because they want to influence him. The first presents no ethical issues, but the latter does. If there is an

Are you of the opinion that he would decide cases differently if not for those gifts? Because the general consensus is that Thomas is one of the most ideologically pure justices (whether one thinks his ideology is good or bad). I've no

At least those states have a mix of urban/rural/suburban areas. If there were no EC, Dems would campaign exclusively in cities.

I don't super mind it, no. The overall look is much better than I expected.

Counting votes is a rudimentary way to come to the conclusion that it "very nearly went the other way". SCOTUS is much more complex than that, as anyone who follows it knows.

> the 14th amendment only survived by one fucking vote. Slavery was almost brought back? Or are you referring to the birthright citizenship case, which involves an ancillary aspect of the 14th amendment?

I believe Biden granted clemency to entire classes of people, which was unprecedented. Previously it was only done by name, and therefore limited to much smaller numbers of people. Trump may have been more egregious in other ways (and he&#x

Brave has a function to bookmark all open tabs. I have used that from time to time. Or just made a temp file and written all the URLs to it, in case I want to open a few/dozen of them after rebooting.

Is there a special rate for capital gains for real estate? I'm just confused as to why it was framed that way.

What real estate rate are you referring to?

Here's a reliable alternate source. [1] I try to avoid single-sourcing on important news, since most outlets have a bias one way or the other. 1: https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/06/court-allows-trump-to-fir...

No chance 3 ever passes, and a wealth tax would require an amendment unless it is "apportioned among the states" or some such thing (and it can't be because wealthy people are concentrated in a handful of states). Editing to

I restarted my Mac the other day and my free disk space went from 4GB to 40GB. Things are also noticeably zippier soon after a restart. Annoyingly, I can't reboot often because I'd lose all my incognito tabs. It's possible th

Land doesn't have feet, so it can't run away. But the people who want to live on expensive land have feet, and they can most certainly run away.

How much does maintenance cost? When I had a BMW, service was really expensive. Does the fact that most of your miles are on electric change the calculus? Obviously things like tires wear out based on total miles, but presumably some of the

Well, it's an X5 competitor, and it's apparently only $10k more than the base ICE version. Considering this is the extended range EV version, that's not terrible. TFA says pricing for the regular-range version has not been an

Interesting, I find it to be more pleasing than many recent BMW EVs I've seen. I was preparing to not like it as I clicked the link and was pleasantly surprised. Don't love the tail lights, but otherwise it's good/fine t

It's possible, but that would be a pretty relevant detail to leave out. Someone who's getting paid in carried interest is in a very different boat than a run of the mill employee.

Even if someone were spending $5k on housing, how do you spend $5k on utilities and groceries (not dining out, it says groceries)? Also, not having a roommate straight out of college is typically a lifestyle bump in itself. Most people have

I was making a guess based on having earned less and more than that amount. Just checked with ChatGPT and its estimate for a single person with no mortgage interest was $46k in income taxes and $13k in payroll taxes.

Ghost editing the comment, nice. OK well again I think the issue is that you don't like answering questions or defending your position in straightforward ways. Instead you point me to a PDF that does not appear to support your prior re

Using QSBS for the founder and also for spouse/kids, via trusts. It's not really stacking in the 'nested' sense of the word. It's just taking the QSBS exemption, which goes up to $10-15M (depending on year) and then
