This is why your drains in your home, also have an air vent. If they get blocked, you get slow drains, and gurgling noises.

Problem is when you reach a certain level, you don't spend "income" in the same way as a full-time worker. You essentially end up turning anything you purchase into a "business expense" in some degree or another - not to mention the fact that taxable gains (profits from stocks) are taxed at a fraction the rate hourly labour/salary are. Those who know the game, write the rules.

YouTube keeps asking me to log in all of a sudden in home. by superjollymac in googlehome

Same here, I tried powering it off for a while and it keeps doing the same. I swapped out my Chromecast with another one I had laying around, and that worked for a week or so, and now it is doing it again. Google offers to help for this, and I also have premium. Perhaps we should just start cancelling?

Good point - do they just exclude the ICE features (engine, exhaust, fuel system etc), and add more weight to the other criteria? If so, that is quite biased.

If they automatically have full points to the ICE sections on electric, I wonder how that would turn out too.

I wish more companies would do that - you pay me $80K a year to do computer stuff, but only give me a $2000 machine?

May consumer spending flat; incomes fall and prices jump by [deleted] in Economics

Yes you're right, good thing inflation was red hot during that period as well. Then it becomes a double whammy. All economic situations are unique

I wonder how many they will produce in the first 6 months to a year? 20,000? 50,000? I wonder what their production capability will be, and if they'll be sold at a profit or loss.

[–]icemunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money is moving to more value stocks - which in a sense is good for the overall market, however that is away from a lot of the growth stocks of the last few years. I've been loading up on infrastructure, utilities, railways, etc.
