As of 2021 the science was not settled on the ice loss as a cause or an affect. This article goes into both theories.
We don't need tax credits.
We need Private equity out of the housing market.
We need better safeguards for tenants.
Financial moves like tax credits and incentives always end up benefitting the haves.

WoW: ill never forget it. This was BC expansion and as a Druid I had just recently unlocked flight as part of a huge questline. I was hopping around mining nodes farming for my Jeweler profession when I encountered a Druid nightelf. They had the upgraded bird form (320% speed vs 60%). I must have pissed this guy off or he was bored but he was just stalking me. Eventually he starts fighting me and we had a substantial level difference. I think he was 70 and I was 60. He was going to kill me but eventually I escaped out of combat into bird form. Of course he's several times faster than I am. I had a sliver of health and a single moonfire would've killed me. I am just holding down space bar.. Climbing into the sky. He fires off his moon fire. It should have killed me, but as luck would have it my headpiece gem had a 1% chance to reflect a spell. I had to read the combat logs to figure out what happened, but the spell hit him. The damage caused him to lose bird form and as he was now in combat he plummeted to his death. I landed. Danced around his corpse and went on my way. I could not believe what had just happened.
Capital gains is always taxed at your normal bracket for holdings less than a year old and fall under special long term brackets for holdings >1 year. Those brackets are much smaller than income.
Capital gains isn't the issue. The issue is people taking out loans against their securities or other assets at often very affordable rates (until recently). Those loans are their income, the interest on those loans are deductible and they never have to sell their assets.
As long as interest paid is lower than taxes on capital gains the behavior will never shift.

Chatgpt high level summary:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce received an $800,000 donation from billionaire Hank Meijer shortly after endorsing his son, Peter Meijer, in a 2022 primary. This donation and subsequent ad spending for Peter Meijer have highlighted the issue of "dark money" in U.S. elections, where the ultimate sources of funding are not disclosed. Although the Chamber followed legal requirements, the timing raised questions about the transparency and motivations behind such contributions. The article underscores the broader problem of undisclosed political donations and their impact on voter information and trust in the electoral process.

We just bought the ev Blazer this weekend. Fuck Tesla.
I get different answers.
"It's too late now".
"They're (Dems) are just trying to save face.".
"That bill is so packed with other things... You can't trust it.".
They will just always give their party the benefit of the doubt.
Because all of the red people are retirement age.. 😂
Most Americans have voted for a democrat since 2004. So that's probably true.

Thee term ice cube transcends something as limiting as three dimensional space.
Neither Trump or Biden will reduce the power of the federal government. Some departments may take a hit and others will get a boost but it won't be reduced. Way too much money to be made be keeping the beast of corruption for the rich moving.
Trump who you are voting for by not voting for Biden, absolutely is a globalist... With just the shittier parts of the globe.
Wasn't trump the president who moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? A move done to rally his base. Trump is absolutely pro israel and would love to see college kids shipped to a war zone so they can witness the atrocity of the war they are protesting...
Trump has actually... Proved he's a foreign asset. Put in literally cannot wait for him to retake power so he can absolutely steamroll a legitimate democracy.
Fuck it wouldn't shock me if Trump sold our military to the highest bidder.
Trump is absolutely an elitist... He has a fucking skyscraper with his name on it in downtown Chicago... What part of that screams... Salt of the Earth? What planet are you living on?
I asked what I can do to protect my family from climate change.
To protect your family from the potential impacts of climate change, you can take several actions:Educate yourself and your family: Learn about the causes and effects of climate change, as well as the steps you can take to mitigate its impacts. Share this knowledge with your family members and encourage them to be more mindful of their environmental footprint.Reduce your carbon footprint: Make an effort to reduce your family's greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, such as using LED light bulbs, turning off electronics when not in use, and driving less.Conserve resources: Encourage your family to conserve water, recycle, and reduce waste. These actions can help to reduce your family's overall environmental impact.Support renewable energy: Consider installing solar panels or using other renewable energy sources in your home. Additionally, support policies and initiatives that promote the development and use of renewable energy.Get involved in your community: Join or support local organizations and initiatives that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This can help to create a broader movement for change and can also provide opportunities for your family to learn and take action together.Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest news and research on climate change and its impacts. This can help you and your family to make informed decisions and stay engaged in the issue.Remember, small actions can make a big difference, and by working together as a family, you can help to protect yourselves and future generations from the effects of climate change.
It gave a reasonable answer and didn't discount it as a scam.
I love this comment because I learned something.
From the article, "Supporters of such programs argue that they stimulate the economy: "The level of impact and the amount of benefits the film tax credit brings to Massachusetts is immeasurable, creating local jobs and boosting overall economic activity in our cities and towns," state House Speaker Ronald Mariano (D–Quincy) said in 2021 after the legislature voted to make the credits permanent."
The fallacy:
"Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James Goodfellow, when his careless son has happened to break a pane of glass? If you have been present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them, by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this invariable consolation – "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were never broken?"
Now, this form of condolence contains an entire theory, which it will be well to show up in this simple case, seeing that it is precisely the same as that which, unhappily, regulates the greater part of our economical institutions.
Suppose it cost six francs to repair the damage, and you say that the accident brings six francs to the glazier's trade – that it encourages that trade to the amount of six francs – I grant it; I have not a word to say against it; you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his task, receives his six francs, rubs his hands, and, in his heart, blesses the careless child. All this is that which is seen.
But if, on the other hand, you come to the conclusion, as is too often the case, that it is a good thing to break windows, that it causes money to circulate, and that the encouragement of industry in general will be the result of it, you will oblige me to call out, "Stop there! Your theory is confined to that which is seen; it takes no account of that which is not seen."
It is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six francs upon one thing, he cannot spend them upon another. It is not seen that if he had not had a window to replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes, or added another book to his library. In short, he would have employed his six francs in some way, which this accident has prevented.[1] "
The commentors point: This is a dumb excuse to spur the economy and if they want to do that there are better more direct and impactful ways to spend that money.
Life sucks. Then you die.

Wow. 70% as of 2022.
This made me laugh.
The US is providing funding for companies like TSMC and Intel to buld fabs in the US. The reality is that TSMC is having a very hard time hiring and deal with cultural gaps between Asian working mindset vs. American working mindset. There's going to be some serious pain getting these fabs up and running.

I did this right out of college. I'm not sure if it was the LNAPL measurements or the asbestos abatements but I really needed to get out of that industry.

Eh, but how do we rank if you are flush with disposable income?
Not arguing any of that. The point here is that I find Musk repulsive enough that the Tesla, for all of its superior software, was never even in my decision making process.

Agreed

I'd argue that people can only pay what they can pay. They won't pay extra, they'll buy smaller homes with smaller valuations to keep their payments reasonable. If you can't afford to put up another 1k/month then you won't.

Again, people can afford to move just not for their established QoL. If you own a 4bd house in a good school district are you going to downgrade to a 3bdrm in an ok district? Maybe? Probably not unless the money is good.
Also rich people aren't buying homes with mortgages. They are just buying them with cash... Or putting so much down that their mortgage is reasonable.
Thank you.
Also with taxes going to the government... There is a lot of corruption designed to bring those taxes back in the form subsidies, projects, funding etc. No guarantee taxes end up where they are needed.
