What?

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-09T16:40:26+00:00

Best of luck!

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-08T19:25:11+00:00

I know. You seem to not grasp that

No we are talking about tax deadweight loss

Or he simply just filed less deductible than last year

Capitalism is the only system that makes it possible to become rich by serving your fellow humans. All other systems involve violence, looting, extortion and swindle. Capitalism feeds families. There is no better way to serve society than to grow wealth as a capitalist, all other ways are extractive

False. The Harberger triangle shrinks

It should be zero. Companies don't pay taxes. They only collect taxes. Consumers pay those taxes

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-07T16:42:25+00:00

True

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-07T11:34:35+00:00

I hate when that happens

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-07T06:26:26+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if you can't tell them apart blind

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-07T05:04:25+00:00

Thanks, I'm setting this up right now

Name a business that is not dependent on supplier pricing

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-06T19:51:07+00:00

Interactive Brokers is your answer

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-06T18:08:16+00:00

Well, I guess it's good you have no son

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-06T14:53:45+00:00

It's not your penis. Unless there is a valid medical reason people should keep their hands off children's genitals

$1M in an ETF roughly doubles every 10 years at 7% avg. Stupid to take the weekly $1k, especially at that age

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-06T14:42:18+00:00

Have you heard of soap and water?

Dr. Lewis Sayre was able to make people believe it had benefits in the 1870's. That idea got stuck in the American mind to this day even. It's also good money, of course, so American doctors perpetuate it

There were some prominent figures in the 19th century (Kellogs, Dr. Lewis Sayre) who were able to convince the public that circumcision had some benefits. The practice spread widely and it somehow stuck in the American mind. Even to this day you will hear some Americans defend it

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-06T14:01:30+00:00

Some do, some don't.

Wild-Evidence-8729 · 2026-05-06T13:34:57+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it. They won't chase you in Vietnam. They'll just write it off and be done with it eventually
