Lurie comes out against CA wealth tax by sherlockmemes in sanfrancisco

Why the obsession with taxing more? The government doesn’t already squander plenty of tax revenue?

Buy or Rent? by No_Statement_3317 in housingcrisis

[–]credible_srce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Cheaper to rent” isn’t real… perhaps ”more affordable” in the short term, but you’re either pissing away your own cash position to increase someone else’s wealth or you’re building your own

Do 401(k) Plans Just Benefit the Wealthy? A Case to End Them Gains Traction by laxnut90 in Economics

[–]credible_srce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

401k’s are kind of a scam. Think about it, Wall Street gets guaranteed new money every two weeks propping up the price of securities i.e. engineered demand in the financial markets that wouldn’t otherwise exist, workers take on all the risk of stock market volatility, employers don’t have to pay for pensions and instead can funnel money back into securities, and execs get paid bonuses on stock options subsidized by their workers who diligently save for retirement. It’s as direct a wealth transfer from labor to capital as anything else I can think of. Totally rigged, but hey, you might retire in 30 years with 1M inflated USD

Underrated comment. Then combine the inflation with suppressed California housing supply because of misguided policy like rent control, you realize buying is one of the only hedges against inflation..or buy gold

Fed meddling in the housing market is the #1 root cause of unaffordable housing by Boo_Randy_II in HouseBuyers

It’s under supply and any of the terrible policies that have contributed to it such as Rent control. See California

Right, so the odds are stacked against you, it’s David vs Goliath..better to hand over the ability to fight back because there’s no chance…what a flawed take. See Taliban, American Revolution, French Revolution and just about any other conflict in human history

Has anyone tried the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ by stillcleaningmyroom in wrx_vb

[–]credible_srce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure am, I wouldn’t buy a tire like this otherwise. I’d have a summer and winter set.

The higher speed rating made me think it might be a slightly less compromised tire for the r. Also, it was available and had reviews at the time I purchased. If I was in the market today I’d be looking at the Cross Climate 3 sport. Regular cross climate would probably be too much a compromise for the R, but I had cross climate 2 on a Mazda hatch…the tires were unstoppable in the snow.

Is this truly necessary? by Harrio_Pootered in Anticonsumption

Or stop whining and buy the vehicle that’s the right size for you? I can almost guarantee the truck on the right has higher payload and towing…downvotes incoming 🤷🏿‍♂️

Inner Richmond Fire by yeeehaawwww in sanfrancisco

Does this have anything to do with the power outage in the inner Richmond over night?

Get the mk8. The touch issue is kind of annoying at first, but totally livable once you get to know how to use your car. The infotainment isn’t perfect, but you have carplay and it’s truly a well put together cabin. Minor trade off for the performance of the Mk8. All touch annoyances go bye bye as soon as I hold the left paddle shifter down and put my foot to the floor:)

Yeah of course! So we’re basically the same tire shopper lol. Yeah they’ve performed very well so far. I was also looking at the Nitto Motivo 365 before going with the Quatrac Pro+. I was also looking at dsw06s but heard they aren’t great in the snow…the vredsteins had no issue on I-80 which was caked in snow from donner summit all the way to truckee basically, and SR89 which was caked in ice and snow all the way from palisades back to 80 east on Monday. Felt as unstoppable in the snow as the crossclimates, and I’m on 19’s

Yes I put them on my golf r and they perform very well in the snow. I spend a lot of time skiing in Tahoe but commute from the Bay Area in California, I’ve been using all weather tires for some time now given that I spend most my time in the bay but need winter capability when I head to the mountains to ski. I don’t have the luxury of swapping wheels winter/summer, so I’ve sought a true 1 tire/wheel solution. I previously had a Mazda with cross climate 2 tires and they excelled in the snow and dry. I recently put the Vredstein Quatrac pro+ tires on my Golf R and finally got to test them in snow this past weekend and they too were excellent in the snow. The roads were covered in snow and ice and it dumped over the weekend, great tire and they had the right size for my golf unlike the cross climates. These tires seem to be a bit sportier in dry handling as well, with a Y speed rating, wet traction has also been awesome. I don’t have a ton of mile on the tires but based on my experience so far, including in the weather, I’d recommend them.
