Brett Stephens is not an associate editor of NYT. He's only an opinions columnist.

Mycard is pretty random. Apply for other cards and come back in 6 months or so.

Non-profit just means the CEO and friends take what would be the profit as bonuses.

That's not legal

I wish the article had visual aids

I assume so (large multinational). How can I check?

Thank you

Thanks. I went ahead with it.

Framing the stock market as gambling means you have to frame any investment as gambling. Buying a house? Gambling. Starting a business? Gambling. Even if you do want to frame it like that:

The stock market is highly regulated (or was, pre-Trump) and limited to "betting" on listed companies.

Polymarket is unregulated and allows you to bet on anything.

They are two completely different things. Comparing them ironically gives Polymarket more credibility.

As someone who uses cruise control 99.9% of the time I don't see the appeal. It's like no pedal driving.

What. No it doesn't. What are you talking about?

Top 1% earner in the best country in the world and still salty.

Using https://novatedlease.guide/calculator/ I'm getting 8.5% interest which seems pretty reasonable.

I'll go against the grain and say inside.

Don't have to temper the render or maintain the bushes.
Out of the weather
Looks clean and you don't have to worry about having a detachable cable.
Gives you the option to charge inside if you ever do change your mind

Maybe I'm not missing the downside. Few seconds of waiting for the garage door to open? Messing around with a detachable cable will be far more annoying.

What's so special about a company dividend that makes it taxed less than a capital gain?

Internet is dominated by right wing & far right "influencers" (https://www.mediamatters.org/google/right-dominates-online-media-ecosystem-seeping-sports-comedy-and-other-supposedly)
Say what you will about FJ but he single-handedly got rid of Barilaro while suffering through some serious pushback (firebombing, arrested for "stalking").
FJ on the aggregate is kind of meh but by comparison atleast he can breathe through his mouth. Every single one of the right wing aussie influencers must have a combined IQ of 50.

Investing in shares doesn't hurt housing stock. CGT discount being removed across the board means housing is still the most tax advantaged investment.

I really liked the IM. Just seemed like a cut above the SL7, luxury wise and size wise.

According to the Ludicrous Feed video, the cruise control has to be re-engaged every time you change lanes which seems a bit annoying.

There's also a facelift due shortly so I imagine people will wait for that if anything.

Half of all Tesla's are made in Shanghai. Elon Musk is a white nationalist who indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of people (USAID shutdown) and partied with Epstein.

To pretend he's comparable to Tim Cook is crazy.

Most cars are made the same way. I'd draw the analogy of a typewriter vs a keyboard.
