Theres an important distinction in deferring taxes versus avoiding taxes. Every time they buy a peice of property there’s taxes on the sale. Every year there’s property taxes (very high in WA), then finally there’s a sale and guess what?

Approximately how much were you spending on traditional versus LED lighting? Also, what’s your electricity cost? Here in the Bay Area my costs are approximately 30c kWh so energy saving are quickly and easily net positive.

Doesn’t this in some way betray the encryption? For example, if multiple users had illegal.csv in their accounts, getting access to one user will allow you to prosecute any of them without decrypting their data because they will all share t

OPs point is still good though. Retail investors can often have “one-up” on the industry. Investing into that edge can be a real advantage.

Your fears are greatly overblown. Haven’t we been able to “Photoshop“ people convincingly for a very long time? People are less sceptible to this than you think. Even when scandals do break, it’s not a picture or video that’s proof, it’s a
