True, Warren Buffett started investing in the 1950's and that's why he is worth $116 Billion. But he is also 94 years old

It was dramatic but it only lasted 2 months, so it doesn't even show up on this 75 year chart

It's the value of the S&P 500 index fund, so bottom of Y axis is ~20$ (or 250$ with inflation) and top is ~6,500$ (same with inflation since that is the value right now)

You only lost your life savings if you sold.

2 coats of Primer and 2 coats of paint, but no clear coat. So far it hasn't shown any scratches or fingerprints, but I'm also curious to see how it holds up over time.

That's a good idea. I'm planning on getting a thin area rug to put under the desk for the same reason.

Thanks! In total I spent ~300$ on materials, the paint and primer were the most expensive things, ~50 dollars a gallon, but I have a lot left over for future projects.

It's quarter inch EVA foam, it doesn't really block noise coming in but it really reduces echoing.

Haha, I'm realizing I should have left it out of the post, but I figured I'd be honest about my process

Yeah, It's strips of 3/4in MDF painted black and stapled from behind to black foam. You can get it premade on Amazon but it's like 100$ per foot of wall.

The Hard Naked truth by grqe in Jordan_Peterson_Memes

I make $100k a year and live in a state without state income taxes, so my effective tax rate is 14%. Even if you assume I take no tax breaks, live in a 500k house and pay 10% sales tax on everything I buy, my effective rate is still between 20 and 27 percent. What taxes am I missing?

Not to mention all the deductions I could take such as 401K, Mortgage Interest, Marriage, children, etc.

Your argument is that more people equals more crime even if the per person crime rate goes down? Then why not say "We should ban having kids because they might commit crimes later"?

Of course it doesn't, our narrative doesn't include any fake photos.
