Show me the bills that they have brought to committee/the floor that actually simplify the tax code to make auditing & enforcement simpler. Don't confuse rhetoric with action.

Just like the market crashed in 2012 with the re-election of President Obama and the market crashed in 2016 with the election of President Trump?

Why should I care what those people are reading or think. I'm not them and they're not me and while some of my interests may overlap with them, it doesn't mean I want to, or will enjoy, reading what they read.

No because it's wrong. The correct way to say this is that by doing a buyback it allows stockholders to realize their taxes at a later point in time since capital gains are only realized at the time of sale. Dividends are immediately t

Google does not have a crazy high valuation. They trade at a forward PE of around 24 which is well within a normal valuation for a maturing growth company.

While true, 20% of a large number is still a large number. It's easy to disregard these people, but they should not be disregarded. They have suffered directly due to the privatization of hospitals and the requirement to satisfy stock

This is a very urban/suburban mindset. There is a not insignificant portion of the population that has no choice and the one place they can get medical care is already over an hour away.

If if there was, would it matter? 144Hz monitors draw a frame every 7ms. What does it mean to have sub-frame latency? Human reaction time is about 250ms. So from the time you see something and ate able to react, over 30 frames have render

Which is why I am a big fan of Analogue which is doing hardware level and accurate emulation via FPGAs. Hopefully they will be able to get through the PS1/N64/Saturn. After that, things become quite a bit more complicated due to

If you mean the whole world, then yes that is (mostly) true, but it is true for every high income nation, and therefore not really informative. If you mean against other high income nation's, then it is only true in the most superficia

This. While I'm sure that city government could have done more to upzone faster, I'm not sure it would matter. The bottleneck isn't restrictions on builders, it's our construction capacity is completely tapped.

Fair != Good. Fair wages for a given position and circumstance can be anywhere on the spectrum of compensation. I currently wish I had a union because I think I was unfairly evaluated in my current perf cycle, but there is no one to appeal

Social Programs are abused, but not nearly at the levels that people assume. In 2016, SNAP abuse accounted for just 0.9% of SNAP benefits paid. This also coincided with a drastic reduction in overall utilization from the 4 prior years. htt

You are making the assumption that all banks have to work the same. Even at a default rate of 20%, that doesn't justify the 300% APRs that payday lenders charge. And I agree that banking is not a sufficient solution, but it is absolute

If that was what payday loans were actually used for then their existence would be a little bit easier to justify. That isn't what payday loans are used for. They are usury of the worst kind taking advantaged of the worst off in our so
