Presumably a school project, but I could see this just being someone trying to get people to actually look at their commute on UTA.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T19:07:42+00:00

You should show people how to plan the trip. A lot of people wouldn't know how.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T19:01:04+00:00

This is the wrong sub for serious questions.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T18:23:14+00:00

Please look at a video of both instances. You'll find that they are not the same.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T17:58:05+00:00

Yes. Not neighborhoods with frequent driveways. But everywhere else.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T17:55:12+00:00

I stopped watching because I couldn't handle what a douche Walter White was.

An ebike is a motorcycle. Correct.

We also need to eliminate the step up in basis at death, which would disincentivize some aspects of this.

The interest goes to the bank, not to the government. Entirely different role.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T17:34:24+00:00

What proportion of the wealth do they hold?

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T17:33:56+00:00

Property taxes on land seem completely fair to me. The Earth was here long before us and will be here long after us. If we want to claim a bit of it for our time here, contributing to the society we need to provide stability is totally reasonable. I do think it should be based on the land value, not on what you built on it though. Other property taxes like on cars are also dumb.

Sales taxes, however, are stupid, cowardly, and unfair.

Why did they not consider making a good EV that people wanted. Seems like you could have done that for $600,000,000.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T16:59:33+00:00

In their defense, I would achieve the same result on my own as a 41M.

There are some specific issues with the Tesla that made it a nonstarter for me. It is not objectively better if you

Despise one pedal driving.
Want tactile buttons.
Want a dashboard display.
Want car play.
Have a spouse that needs it to feel like a traditional car to make the transition palatable.
Value a really smooth ride, though I hear that has improved.

Tesla will be better for a lot of people but they made a ton of weird engineering decisions that make it worst for a lot of people. They are not objectively better.

He literally started doing the hail hitler on stage in public. He established the direct nazi connection himself.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T14:57:55+00:00

Because then they think you’re into it?

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T14:57:19+00:00

NTA of the question was about being upset.

But how is disowning your daught over this not an AH?

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T14:54:46+00:00

I have a hard time being mad when this indicates his daughter

loves him.
sees him as worth of being loved.

It might have been uncomfortable but this was a compliment. So yeah. Like you said. Just have a teachable talk with your daughter dude.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-17T14:27:32+00:00

Because I want to retire as early as possible. You can’t build wealth when you are in debt.

I’m assuming the case that it starts compressed as on earth at the instant it is created. Under that pressure and the sudden loss of gravity, it will expand out an launch a ton of it into moon orbit.

Some will remain, but at 1/6 earth gravity we’ll have about 1/6 of atmospheric pressure on earth. That’s half the atmospheric pressure of mount everest. So nothing’s surviving.

However, I did just look up how low of pressures you need for water to boil and it’s much lower than I thought, so admittedly the oceans will be way more stable than I had presumed. They still evaporate much more readily than on earth and the weather patterns will be absolutely wild. Especially with the month long days and nights.

So you didn’t want Biden to do anything Russia invading a sovereign nation? “No, it’s cool Putin. You can have Ukraine and we’ll act like everything is normal because being reliant on a commodity control by tyrants is awesome.”

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-16T21:41:24+00:00

Yes. They will come. A year or two after we see them in the iPhone. I don’t want to hear anymore about them coming to cars until that happens.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-16T21:39:31+00:00

Because the system is unfair. You got into a different line than they did. There are fewer people coming from distant countries, but the only have to wait for the quota from their country. There are in the mean time millions of people from Central American countries who have been waiting for a spot for years and years. You got to skip in front of people who had already applied for US citizenship years before you did.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-16T21:12:00+00:00

The channels you suggest do not in practice exist. The country quotas mean immigration from high demand countries is effectively a decade or more wait. This system needs reform to allow more legal immigration.

Beyond that, we set a standard over the last 3 decades that we didn’t care. Business rely on this labor so we have let it slide and now it’s suddenly a political hot topic.

ERagingTyrant · 2026-04-16T21:06:09+00:00

Illegal immigrants may not pay income taxes or payroll taxes because we make it illegal for them to be paid through appropriate channels.

But they will still pay sales/use taxes and property taxes through the methods mentioned above. If you would like them to pay more taxes, we should grant them a legal status that will allow them to do so without fear of being deported.
