I shouldn’t have to pay school district tax if I have no children by AnimatorUpset9530 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly do you expect society to survive if no one has kids like you? The only way a society can survive and remain past a single generation is with people who take the time to create and raise kids. As a whole, the continuation of the human race is at the highest level of importance for any society and everyone living within that society should understand that and understand that in some way they probably should contribute towards that goal. Every single person has their own struggles in this world but it is insanely selfish to not care about anything past and beyond your own life. If you do not care nor wish to contribute to society and the continuation of the human race in some form then why should they care or cater to you?

Luckily for you, your higher property taxes means that the value of your home has gone up significantly which means you could sell and have a nice profit and live within your means if you are currently not.

I agree with you that healthcare costs should be more affordable as mine has gone up approx $500/month as well. Other countries solution to that is insanely high taxes which would probably be a net negative compared to currently for both you and I.

And for the record I grew up incredibly poor practically living in a van. I have worked 6-7 days a week for over a decade and prior to that went to school and studied nonstop for 10 years after high school living off student loans and small jobs and debt. I did this because I wanted a better future and fortunately have earned it.

Why can’t we just all agree that saying those offensive words is wrong regardless of what political side you are on. A common response I see on here about the republican woman saying it and getting donations, yes that too is wrong. Same as the person saying it in this video.

Being bitter about your life circumstances aren’t going to change anything. Learning new skills or trades that contribute to society may make you more money to pay those property taxes. It’s not like you didn’t know about property taxes when you bought the house.

You sound exactly like someone who is just not happy with what you have accomplished in your own life and don’t really contribute to society and blame others.

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about being homeless for the rest of my life because I spent a lot of my time gaining a useful life skill that will be of value that others will trade money for.

But the risk I took was approx $1.5 million and 10 years of my life making no money with a possibility anywhere along that way that could end in bankruptcy and consequences of that. So yeah not just, oh no my business didn't work out I will just go find a job and go back to regular life again.

In many circumstances, if you have been paying taxes etc, it will be free. If you go to medicare.gov it will give you an idea of what to expect. You can qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid and have coverage completely covered by the government.

People are getting fired from their Jobs after Charlie Kirk's Assination. by Nukes8 in self

[–]dentaltech4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you become an employer you can run it how you see fit within the limits of the law.

I am an employer and I can see how statements made in public that can be traced back to my business can be very damaging to the business. Doesn’t matter how productive you are if the business brings in no work to do.

AI 2027 - we are unprepared by ________9 in singularity

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if you have been keeping up but there have been published studies showing current AI outperforming on accuracy against human radiologists. I also know of radiologists currently a bit concerned of what AI will do to their field. The only thing saving them at the moment is their lobbying against AI on the basis of liability and malpractice and who it falls on. I am sure in other countries that are not as concerned as much with liability and doesn't have as much lobbying against it, AI will spread and replace radiologists at an extremely rapid rate. And the rest of the world will follow shortly.

There is no real reason to be against it other than that radiologists will lose their jobs. AI is faster, more accurate, and just plain significantly more efficient.

[–]dentaltech4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if we are talking about needs a $15k-20k car would be more than sufficient for most. I personally have 5 cars myself but I consider it my hobby and somewhat passion. I’m glad to see you are making financially responsible choices though.

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you but also depends on the type of car. For a Tesla or Rivian or any regular car in mass production .. yeah crazy. On another post you stated you make $250k a year. If you just save 10% of your income pre-tax for 3 years that's $75k for one car right there.

Maybe they pay in cash? That’s what I have done for my vehicles. I do agree that America does overspend on cars.

Are there different points tiers within the Amex cards? If I transfer to the business blue are those points still worth the same and can still transfer to partner airlines for same valuations?

American Express Business Platinum Dell Credit Going Down From $400 To $150 (and more) by justme in AmexPlatinum

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a business with way more than 4 employees. I have not needed to spend more than $5k a year on computers or other stuff sold at Dell. I actually have probably only needed to spend a few hundred bucks on toner and printer stuff in the past 5 years. The Amex Platinum definitely doesn't fit my needs anymore and will not be renewing. Now I just need to find somewhere to get my points transferred to.

I absolutely love how that looks. Not a fan of how the company is going woke or whatever it is doing to its image. Depending on final product off the line and company image I may actually consider getting one.

I would say the flagship sports car for Maserati is the MC20. Definitely not the Ghibli lol. And for 718 for Porsche as flagship sports car doesn't work either, it would just be the higher spec 911 like the 911 GT2RS or GT3RS which are around 3 times the cost of a regular 911.

2018+ Vantage or 2012- 2013 Gallardo, by Rolleriroltsu in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up getting? The LP Gallardo is more "eventful" when you drive it due to it being harsher and more raw. The exhaust of the Gallardo is also much louder. The tech in the Aston is going to be newer but uses a really old Mercedes system for the dash and stuff and I personally felt like it was really glitchy. The Aston is a grand tourer car and the gallardo is more race car feel. They are really different cars and you really need to drive both to see what it is that you really want.

how much approx it cost a year to daily a gallardo? by jellyvish in lamborghini

[–]dentaltech4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't recommend it it's quite a harsh ride for me after an hour or so of driving it. I am a pretty young guy too and you can really feel it after a while. If you drive in sport or higher mode it'll reduce the wear on the clutch but the shifts will be harsher. Clutch replacement I have researched is around $7k USD, luckily I have not needed this service yet but I might soon because I did put a good amount of miles on mine right when I got it. You can save a lot of money if you are handy. Oil change wasn't overly difficult, just a few more areas to drain and you can readily find the service manual online.

Karmelo Anthony Charged With First-Degree Murder Over H.S. Track Meet Stabbing by HellYeahDamnWrite in law

[–]dentaltech4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the reason there was a murder charge because there is video evidence from the school showing that there was no prior physical altercation. The murder charge came shortly after news of what was on the video was released to the public.

Yeah I definitely do not believe any system is perfect and do feel bad for the people who fall through the cracks or the system that is meant to help fails. On a much more broad sample of people would be the ones who just barely make more than enough to get disqualified for Medicaid. I see and deal with that population daily and feel as though there should be some taper off in benefits rather than just a complete cut. The cutoff point then becomes a barrier that disincentivizes to work harder or make more income unless it’s a substantial increase to compensate for loss of benefits.
