I can’t tell if it will apply generally or just vacation homes. It says “gradually”, but that seem to be about the rates, it the scope. And it does not explain how the current system arrives at such low valuations.

They would probably be better off fixing how they asses the value of condos. Which, AIUI (and one have a good explanation?) is based on imputed rent, capped at the rent of the closest example they can find. So no condos get taxed more the

If you are not sure, buy from within the EU from an importer who deals with this. The old system of spot inspections worked because most import volume was from known, repeat importers.

Or, treat 600-625 as a tie, and use a lottery.

We have decades of data (test score vs grades and degree completion). They should gather it up and calculate the answers. Flip answer: the bucket width should be 2.5 times the score improved of a prep course.

The problem is as never the tests. It was pretending that the difference between a 600 and 625 (or whatever) really predicted anything. It was the silly idea that with tests you could produce a fair ordering of students based on potential

I have read the rules are tighter in most EU nations. There is jurisdiction shopping of course. If china or wherever wants to have really lax rules, and that means production moves there, I’m not sure what the answer is. But, for this prod

You write as if it would not be possible to work with these chemicals safely at a reasonable cost, and that's just not true. Other jurisdictions manage this. Corporations naturally seek to improve margins, all the time, constantly. T

I had one job, where at the very end of the process there was a multi-hour evaluation by a psychologist / consultant they used. Went over my full life history, school, jobs, etc. It was all disclosed up front, so no surprises. Not re

One possibility is that wealthy people with few (often just 1) child, a stable home life, fewer financial pressures, etc spend a lot more time on the child. And this keeps them out of trouble more often. Also, a lot of the education around

I think you are arguing inconsistently here. You can't claim at the same time that we should recognize all of the benefits of children (in their adulthood) and at the same time not recognize the cost to society to educate them. It&#x

I know a big factor in Korea is social relationships between the genders (expectations about housework, childcare, etc). The current arrangements are not attractive to many women. How is it in Germany? I would guess better
