The problem with buy and hold and pretty much every current strategy is that its distorted by the huge 40 year bull market we've seen in the USA. Every American asset has gone up big time - of course "time in the market" is a

The hate on big Pharma is crazy to me. They're actually a pretty small part of the healthcare bill: 8.9%. Even if drugs were free your health insurance bill would be pretty much the same. https://www.ama-assn.org/about&

Nobody reads any more. Tiktok and other SM is the rule. Most of the stuff I read is clickbait I regret. I dont think I can even sit down and comprehend a multi page article any more.

CO2 removal sounds like its a necessary process to reverse global warming. However at this stage its kinda dumb to try to extract CO2 into solid carbon when in nearly every country in the world is still burning coal producing CO2.

$3.7 million though? Does it include a farm? I thought house prices in California were crazy.

Jersey City banned AirBnB many years ago already. No rentals allowed <28 days. Edit - actually they are just strictly regulated. I know my friend gave up hosting after the law went in. https://www.airbnb.com/help/art

To be fair Oracle is a ** company relying on a 50 year old monopoly product. Apple Amazon and Google are a different league.

I think because in many places in the past people coped fine so there is a scare that this AC popularity will increase energy usage. You are correct that Heating in cold climates probably is worse. AC has the advantage that the load matches

I live in NY metro and my 2 bed apartment has $2k/mo city tax. As cities get denser costs get more expensive. I replaced my HVAC, hot water heater and rebuilt a bathroom and it cost me the same price I could buy a whole detached house

Fun fact, 2022 population in NYC is just 6% higher than it was in 1950. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_York_City . (though probably is more like 10% this year)

Finland is a very poor comparison to USA. It has a small, largely static population of virtually all white people with lots of cheap land. Of course homelessness isn't a problem.
