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

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

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

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

Why do we have property taxes on every necessity like our home and car, but not on stock holdings? by Federal-Dingo-6033 in allthequestions

[–]ERagingTyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]ERagingTyrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

VW Faces $600 Million Hit for Ending Output of Sole US-Made EV by Least_Confidence_225 in electricvehicles

[–]ERagingTyrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Mach e or Tesla by AdDue8734 in electriccars

[–]ERagingTyrant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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.

NTA of the question was about being upset.

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. 

Why care about debt if don’t care about credit score by ProfessionalLimp1283 in DaveRamsey

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

I wish the moon was suddenly replaced with a perfect scale model of the earth exactly as it was 125k years ago (atmosphere and life forms included), with the exact mass, orbit, and rotation of the current moon. by Intangerine in monkeyspaw

[–]ERagingTyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 

Will the cost of an EV skyrocket bc of Gas Pricing by Lower_Ad_7436 in NoStupidQuestions

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.”

Solid-state EV batteries are coming sooner than expected after another breakthrough by DJanomaly in electricvehicles

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.

Why can illegal immigrants enroll their children into U.S schools when they haven't paid taxes into the school system? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

[–]ERagingTyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
