It was fun until I got hit by a car when biking back from work. Now I just drive to work due to the risk of injury from distracted drivers and getting doored in bike lanes. It's really unfortunate because I'd rather bike, but the

People that are wealthy enough don't really pay income tax. For example, one loophole during the ZIRP era was that one could get a very low interest rate loan (<1% APR, so effectively lower than inflation) against appreciated securi

Prop 13 is one factor that's driving the cost of housing up in California. Vacant lots are taxed based on their purchase price, so there's no real reason to develop them when the land value keeps on rising while the taxes don&#x27

What's a niche thing today can become a common thing in the future, though. For example, exposure bracketing and stacking to get HDR images had to be done using dedicated software fifteen years ago or so, but nowadays most cameras and
