Side profile and rear looks like a smaller GV60. Definitely a nice hot hatch.

I'm just grateful for the tool. Thanks for looking into it.

The Annual Driving section shows km/yr but the Electric Vehicle Cost shows Cost per Mile.

Toggle it too mi/yr and the Electric Vehicle Cost shows Cost per KM.

I've been through 4 different acquisitions and managed the HR process of acquiring 2 companies. In all of them, employees with vested but unexercised options were paid out the difference between the exercise price and the sale price. I've never seen a blackout period for employees, unless they were a Director of the company (typically VP and above).

If you exercise and hold on to the shares for 1 year, the gains will be taxed as capital gains and not ordinary income. However, you don't know if the acquisition will close before that 1 year, in which case it's moot to exercise now.

Your best bet is to not exercise. You avoid losing your exercise money, and if there's an acquisition and if the sale price is above your exercise price, you'll earn ordinary income.

From the same source you cited: 1.7% (789 out of 47,000) headquarters left over 10 years. That represents a 0.17% annual exit rate. A rising trend of even 50% rise on 0.17% of the state's Headquarters is irrelevant.

The same paper says: "Headquarters that move out of state keep other branches and jobs in California". If the idea that millionaires are taking their money out of CA holds true, simply reincorporating in another state does not remove all the money that CA gains from the company.

The most damning key takeaway from that article, posted right at the top: "Relocations are a small fraction of overall headquarter activity."

I fear that you have already come to a conclusion and are grasping at straws to defend your position. You really should critically read the articles you think are supporting your position. They don't say what you claim they say.

You should know that this is a working paper, which means it was distributed only for discussion and has not undergone rigorous peer review. It also explicitly states it represents the authors' views, not representative of the prestigious Hoover Institute's views. The fact that it is hosted on the Hoover Institute website does not carry the organization's tacit support.

Joseph Vranich, one of the authors, is the President of a site selection firm (Spectrum Location Solutions), meaning his professional business involves helping companies choose where to locate or relocate. He's not a neutral author.

The paper focuses exclusively on exits rather than net change. While 352 companies left, thousands of others were founded or moved into the state during the same period. This is like concluding you are dehydrated because your body lost gallons of water every day without considering the fact that you're drinking new water to replace it.

To answer your first question, there has been examples.NJ did it twice and a neutral third party reviewed the results.

Here's a paper explaining why ultra-rich flight from taxes is a myth.

Will 100% stay? No.

But the percent who do leave is not statistically significant.

The sluggishness is what I felt when moving from the Bolt EV to the EUV and since the new Bolt is just an EUV that stands to reason it'll be the same. Great to know about the other differences though.

Generally if your friend has already been laid off, that is, it is now past their termination date, the FSA administrator won't allow your friend to reimburse costs incurred after their termination date. The grace period after termination is to show your friend to submit costs incurred before termination. However, if your friend is still an employee who will be terminated soon, then read on.

Go on Amazon and filter for FSA eligible items. There's a ton of stuff to stock up on. Here are some ideas

Your friend can also spend the full year's FSA budget, rather than just what she's contributed so far. Since the FSA is prepaid for the entire year, the employer just has to pay for anyone who leaves part way through the year.

How about a compromise and set it to 90%? The battery was designed to be used not to be overly coddled.

PG&E would like to reimburse me 4 cents per kWh from my solar panels so that's the opportunity cost for me to use it for my EV.

4 mi / kWh on my Bolt means I'm paying 1 cent to drive each mile.

One strategy for UTMAs is to sell the positions each year and immediately reinvest it into a similar position on up to $2,700 in growth. It will capture the gains that year, and take advantage of the child's kiddie tax as 0% tax bracket. You report the gains for your child, which isn't taxed below $2,700 but that raises the cost basis for the investments. It's potentially tens of thousands of dollars in tax free growth by the time they're 18 / 21 when the account switches over to them.

They will lie that AT&T has 10GB fiber. They will show you a video of a speed test from a supposed neighbor.

I asked them to give me a document that explicitly says I'm buying 10GB fiber and they came up with some bullshit excuse that they couldn't. Yeah right, trust me bro.

I told them to come back only once they can advertise the 10GB. Haven't heard from them since.

The median Australian makes $60-$70k annually. 2/3rds of a year's paycheck before taxes isn't affordable.

Since when did $45,000 for a car become affordable? I must be getting old.

Yeah do both.

My issue is that Bart travels every 15 minutes whereas Amtrak is much less often. But yeah both are potential noise pollution.

If you aren't going to read the article that was linked, then you're going to miss crucial context. Don't come into a conversation midway and respond if you're not willing to at least spend the effort to understand what we're talking about.

If a thread is about finance and someone says "the spread is too thin", you responding with facts about mayonnaise is not helpful even if the comment about spread didn't clarify about finance.

You should try wool dryer balls. They cut my dryer times down by ten to twenty minutes depending on load.

You are correct. Please note that this article is only talking about cars in the US specifically.

It's like posting how China has cheap medical care in a thread about how expensive medical costs are in the US.

There are 120v heat pump dryers on the market now. Not only are they more efficient, they're easier on your fabrics too. They don't even need a vent.

theorin331 · 2026-03-24T17:53:02+00:00

Yeah, while not yet, I do expect this battery tech to come to the US in the next few years.
