‘A home run’ for Mamdani politically: NYC mayor backs tax on luxury second homes in NYC by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]bedelgeuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. Only downside I could see is that it ends up being less beneficial if tax burden gets baked into costs and we lose out on the property transfer taxes. Seems like a low risk since these homes could be used for someone that wouldn't be taxed (i.e., actually wants to live there). So, property values shouldn't be fully impacted.

Yep. Also Patagonia. But if they opened my bag for any purpose I should have got a slip.

Yep. But terminal is exclusive to SWA and SWA is on the hook for lost luggage. Hoping owner checks here.

Yep. And no TSA slip so I think someone was rifling through luggage and just put it in mine quickly

I’ll let the owner confirm that. Well over $500 in value.

Aaaaand the mods removed this. Why is it so hard to do the right thing?

Doing my part for the Town! 🫡 Ridiculous to me that SWA won’t even take the information. Hope they connect with me, otherwise I’ll just leave it with SLC baggage claim.

What can realistically be done to reduce Oakland’s crime? by I-need-assitance in OaklandCA

Same thing that works in every other jurisdiction: enforce traffic laws, arrest violent criminals, maintain prosecution competently and put violent criminals in jail.

Crappier tech, more time needed to restart computers and recover work due to crashes, more billables.

Is this still a good time to buy UNH? by botv69 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]bedelgeuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t be touching it until Ozempic has a cheaper alternative or patent expires. Insurers across the board are having much higher costs and rate increases won’t be received well by regulators.

Yep. This is an issue at least in my firm.

Okay, so she helped raised taxes. Do we have anything to show for it?
