OK, I thought something like that. But doing that for rent forgiveness seems iffy, in that it'd be the landlord's choice, and not something that the tenant does.

Are there tax implications for rent forgiveness vs lease defaults?

What symptoms from it do you have? I can only stand it at night.

Hey, wait until the US midwest goes dust bowl.

Well, Russia doesn't seem so happy about global warming. I gather that melting permafrost screws up gas production. So maybe they'd want to work with the US.

Based on my experience, the standard dosage for rheumatoid arthritis is 400 mg/day vs 600 mg/day for COVID-19. To start with, anyway. I opted for 200 mg/day, and my rheumatologist concurred.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan too. And this is a great summary and perspective.

Yes, for sure. You have experts who admit that they aren't sure, and then say what the evidence seems to show. And you have bloviators who spew BS, based on some more or less hidden agenda. But about global climate change, it's cr

You're using "direct persuasion" differently from parent. And I have no clue which is accepted. Parent seems to equate "direct persuasion" with "charismatic persuasion", but for you it seems more like coer

Yes, I ought to read that. From the Wikipedia article: > On the other hand, writers such as Marvin Olasky justify Bernays as killing democracy in order to save it. In this way, the presence of an elite, faceless persuasion constituted th

Before reading TFA, I was thinking "What's their agenda?" / "What's in it for them?" / "What's their bias?" etc. But this is a deeper cut. However, in looking for kayfabe, there's

Well, are lions and tigers "friends"? Or wolves and coyotes? Or brown bears and grizzlies? With various human species, it could have been more complicated. Slavery would arguably have been likely.

I get that these are hardware/software issues, but this is the same deferred maintenance gotcha that's plagued public infrastructure generally.

Sure, there are many reasons to introduce tax credits and other complexity. But that doesn't mean that they're all the same.

By "brain dead", I meant that I had difficulty focusing, and felt somewhat sedated. But then, I take so many drugs now that it's hard to really know which are doing what. I mean, I could have increased the modafinil dose. But

Well, keeping track of metformin use would be pretty easy. You could even exclude those using it from trials, unless they signed off after full disclosure.

OK, so this is a little sobering for someone on 200 mg/day hydroxychloroquine for rheumatoid arthritis. And they were thinking about doubling that, until I complained that it made me feel brain dead. But then, the naproxen that I'

That sounds extreme, but many businesses weigh profits vs liability. For example, there are old industrial areas pretty much everywhere contaminated by all sorts of toxic waste. There was a furniture refinishing business not far from here,

I agree that "[a]voiding taxes by legal means, is neither illegal nor immoral". And if that were the whole story, it'd be no surprise that those with more taxable income and resources would pay lower tax rates. It's true
