They aren't saying it's priced a little too high, they're saying it's a scam. Compared to those other insurances, it's very cheap. Over a 30 year mortgage you'll pay tens of thousands of dollars in home owner

You really haven’t added anything. You’ve just restated that people that own the mortgage want title insurance to protect them. It isn’t for the home owners protection. It’s the same with PMI. That’s another insurance the lender require

Title insurance is often required by the lender. If I loan you a boatload of money, I want to make sure there isn't any funny business about who owns what when you buy that the borrowed money. If there is funny business, that why I w

Work expenses paid for by an employee are typically tax deductible. This wouldn't be anything new. The expenses paid for by an employer are also tax deductible. This would also not be anything new. The idea isn't that the &quo

For comparison's sake. I have a pretty good pension plan and my employer contributes about 27% of my gross salary to it along with the 8% I contribute. If someone offered a 401k match of 300% on my 8% I'd call that a good deal,

It is interesting. I would have thought executive orders were more frequently used now than in the past. Apparently that peaked 80 years ago.

Good luck trying to stop someone from giving away some computer code they wrote. This executive order does nothing of the sort.

How can an order that puts restrictions on the creation of powerful models somehow be twisted to claim that those restrictions are required to increase the availability of that tool? Further, the white houses stated reason for invoking the

if they're willing to sell illegally harvested wood, then I don't think they have the scruples to care about being inaccurate in their sales pitch

If no one will tell you it’s illegally harvested, they’ll always be happy to tell you it’s legally harvested.

Sure, but at 92% occupancy and a delinquent loan on the building with negative cash flows, the lower valuation removes the ability to sell and come out ahead. They're in a hole, digging deeper and the escape plan just collapsed in on

Extending isn't the right word. You're applying for a completely new one, often with a different bank. The common options are 15 year and 30 year terms. The new one pays off the old one and if it's structured you can even

Renting an EV sounds about the worst experience. If you can’t charge at home then EVs lose a large part of their value. Supercharging is also terrible for charging to 100%, go to 80 or 90. If you’re doing it daily you want to charge at th
