Yeah I'm in Southern California and I could buy a primary but I'd have to spend at least $1.25M for a small place where I'd want to live. It just doesn't make sense though. I rented a $2M house last year for $4.3k/m

It may not be typical anymore but CalPERS is a defined benefit plan and the largest public pension fund in the US. [1] The problem is they bump up those benefits when their fund is doing well but when it isn't doing well there's l

There was a Planet Money episode [1] where a bank setup a no-interest loan to a Muslim family because Islamic law prohibits charging interest. In the end it was basically just a workaround that was effectively the same as charging interest

Great points and I think you're spot on. I'm personally a skeptic of the claims made by the AGW side and the alarmism pushed out by so many. The proposed AGW solutions are not feasible worldwide either which is what would be neces

Good points. The airlines definitely push you to register the pets even if you don't want to. I have a hypoallergenic 5 lb dog. She fits under the seat. On most flights they don't care if she is out of her carrier and the only rea

I get what you're saying but your argument is based on maybe 1 college player every few years (Charlie Ward, Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, LeBron, Allen Iverson, etc.) that could be a top prospect in both sports and the rather recent c

There's a lot more spots in the NFL so I don't think it makes you an idiot to go for the NFL if you can do both. Very few can do both anyway. > I can't believe you're making a serious argument that the NFL requires mo

They're not most lucrative if you consider 16 games for the NFL versus 82 for NBA. The NFL actually makes more than the NBA as well (they just have a better revenue share deal, less players, max contract rules, etc) [1]. Injuries are f

So true. I acquired the rights to older desktop software a few years ago that had been in use for about 10 yrs by a lot of users. The original creators only charged $50 one time. Some users thought it was $50 per computer so they would pay

I'd fix that with an air purifier. I have several at my lodge for keeping dust down and making sure those with sensitive allergies don't have issues. I did use it successfully for a funky odor in a bedroom once too before guests a

Yes I pay transient occupancy tax of about 13% which nets my mountain city about 8k extra per year that they wouldn't have gotten from one property. I still pay the property tax too of course. So these cities are benefiting greatly and

They could stop selling the really cheap seats so far in advance which puts them in the situation of trying to scramble for last minute bookings to make it profitable.

by exclusiv 9y ago
But there is really no waste when they sell out 100% of the seats. If people no-show the seat is paid for. The airlines are trying to make it sounds like they are just trying to reach 100% capacity but in reality they are trying to arbitrag

It's not just obtaining the loans but the terms. I know someone who's immediate family doesn't have great credit and/or great jobs. They became a software engineer but had something like an 8.5% interest rate. He worked

I'm not moving the goalposts. If you're a teenager and you don't use a condom or other means and get pregnant - that's on you. You wrote a long retort which ignored condoms. That's unreasonable. If you don't us

Makes sense and I've seen it in mountain & destination communities where a lot of the trash is from transients. However, it's possible that could lead to people not disposing of trash properly or burning it. My grandma used to
