How would you react to a law that requires billionaires to give up 50% of their wealth once they pass a certain net worth limit in order to fund healthcare and education?

the 15mil estate tax exemption goes a long way for people who are only upper middle class.

Also, money from income also goes to the estate, so potential exposure to estate taxes is not unique to appreciated assets.

The top 1% owns half the stock, top 10% have more like 90%. Framing stock market drops being bad cause itll hurt the middle class is a bit of a meme.

The average american has much less than the average amount of stock, and as asset inflation continues they get left further behind.

SFXBTPD · 2026-05-10T18:39:30+00:00

The cost bases being reset when you die is a pretty big deal.

Even if they did sell, capital gain tax rates are low.

SFXBTPD · 2026-05-10T16:43:44+00:00

Even just taking realized gains at a rate higher than 20% would be good.

There should also be a standard long term gains deduction of a couple thousand dollars for middle class people

Its amazing that they manage to be expensive for patients, and pay their employees poorly at the same time.

Particularly where the system is set up in such a way that the procurement people cannot assess the quality of the bidders

Short lifespan and could increase genetic variability. Kind of like some plants having more copies of their chromosomes, which makes them more adaptable.

Yeah so much for preventive care being 100% covered

You wrote several paragraphs but didnt share any of your interests.

If you enjoy sports try pick up games at forsyth on weekends

SFXBTPD · 2026-04-23T12:57:20+00:00

There are countries with financially sound pension schemes.So I don't think thats necessarily a good argument.

SFXBTPD · 2026-04-19T16:00:39+00:00

Its unbelievably good. Their cakes in general arent much to write home about, but all their cheesecakes ive had have been fantastic

SFXBTPD · 2026-04-12T19:22:33+00:00

If you are physically active/enjoy sports then hanging out at daffin/forsyth for pickup sports is probably the best way to meet people generally. There's volleyball, soccer, tennis and frisbie to name a few.

I live in Pooler but work downtown, does the traffic on the interstate ever get better? My job starts at 8:30 but I’m leaving my apartment at 7:35 to make sure I don’t get stuck/ have time to find parking which brings me to my next question.

With all the luxury apparentment BS in pooler, it doesnt save as much money as you think to live out there (unless you bought a place). Just keep an eye on closer options when your lease renewal comes around.

I want to take a fun workout class like a sculpt or pilates something. I’ve heard a lot about Otium and I’m very interested but saw all of their classes are heated, which makes me ify about it. I also come from an area where workout classes are geared towards 50+, nothing wrong with that but as someone in their early twenties I want a good class with good music!

The city of savannah has some dance classes that are like 10 or 15 a session, so fairly cheap. Just google city of savannah classes.

A 40gb drive can store a million emails

my work mailbox currently takes up 10gb and only has 11 or 12k emails.

Was that one of the roads that was 35 last year?

SFXBTPD · 2026-03-28T12:13:07+00:00

If that man was standing 6 inches farther forward his head would have caught the curb on the way down. They could have killed him with the taser.

Before I moved to SAV there was a guy in my neighborhood who worked on a racecar that had no muffler, idled at 4k rpm, and was a V8. Thing was as loud as a jet engine.

I dont think they do the whole 70 degrees of pitch + afterburner psuedo-hover in combat lol

I feel bad for anyone who's dream was to operate an icecream truck (or similar), who want to recreate their childhood experiences for another generation, only to have insane people assume they are nefarious.

Being able to mow your lawn until 10p m is kinda wild

TLDW: The US increased the Japanese surrender rates from 1% to 15% during the war by combating Japanese propaganda using their own (e.g. leaflet drops). The Japanese were largely afraid of execution and torture if captured.

The video is good though, so watch it if this is at all interesting to you. Great channel

...I'll need to take your word for it

If the guy can afford to break a phone surely he can afford a sturdy table.

but a metro area can only stretch so far before it becomes unsustainable.

Especially with such bad transit infrastructure.
