I've always felt this way about lucid dreaming. How do I know if I am aware during my dream, or if I am just dreaming that I am aware?

Or the asset you bought with that debt, as real estate has normally kept pace with inflation. Or stocks. Both might see temporary shocks though.

Blackrock owns 60 billion dollars of real estate in a 36 trillion dollar market. They don't matter.

Your debt is losing value at the rate of inflation, and you are paying less than the rate of inflation for that debt. If I'm paying 2.9% on -800k and that -800k is inflated away at 8.6% then I'm making 5.7%.

I hate Amazon until I try to use anything else. I hate the ads in search, that is not what search means to me. If I search 5.11 pants and buy the first thing I see, I won't get 5.11 pants. It feels like the cheap Chinese brand for anyt

I don't see any 15 dollar heavy cream at Whole Foods via the Amazon app. The 365 brand is 4 dollars. Highest I see is 6 dollars. This is in Los Angeles. Changed my zip to 94105 which is the most expensive zip in SF and I still don&#x27

Technicalities of the language matter with respect to laws. To the second point, that sounds like a failure of the government to provide clean energy. In Los Angeles, we get 16% of our energy from coal and 28% from natural gas. I do not bla

I thought the plug was good. I'm looking to start a startup soon, so I've been consuming a lot of this type of content. The topic is echoed among a lot of VCs right now, the charts were nice, and it tied into the app plug well. I

The whole reason I wanted to take up camping was to understand what I can eat in an emergency situation. Now I own a camping stove, a few fuel canisters, some boil in bag rice, and a few large cans of plain freeze dried chicken and beef. Ad

You're putting landlords should lose money before there should be abundant and affordable housing. Landlords still lose money, these policies remove housing from the market, cause distortions, and lead to the luxury / affordable s

Isn't that unfair to someone else who wants to live there? It just seems like the first to arrive is the lucky one.

We do that for pharma companies. [1] The system you purpose is not a loss some times, it is a system that can be abused all the time. Who says landlords aren't losing money? I am currently taking a loss. Two units are rent control at 6

If you are passing laws to dictate what someone does with their property, then society should cover the losses. If they are free to do as they wish with their property then the landlord can cover losses. You're suggesting we privatize

There are floor area ratios (FAR) now that prevent small units. I have a 6500 sqft lot. I can build 14 units. I have a FAR of 3, so 19500 sqft / 14 units is 1390 sqft per. Zoning is your problem, not who is building. Developers and lan

It's amazing how poorly people here frame this. I just watched the Strong Towns video on LVT and it makes a ton of sense. It would effectively lower taxes on developed properties and raise taxes on empty properties. That sounds like a
