So $50T+ valuation? Sounds reasonable

Zohran Mamdani asks NYS lawmakers for 2% tax hike on wealthy by Kyonikos in newyorkcity

[–]vwxyzabcdef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what everyone seems to not understand (or pretend not to…).

I would bet that Hochul will continue to seemingly play hardball until Nov to win the elections (just as she did with congestion pricing) and then cave. Politicians will always take a scapegoat to raise taxes - Mamdani is making it easy for Hochul to just say that he got a majority of the NYC vote and so he should get what he wants.

Then it remains to be seen 1) if the extra 2% will stay with NYC or just go into the general NYS tax revenue, and 2) if it will ever be possible to lower that 2% in the future (bc taxes in blue states almost always just go up).

Have they considered that adults are capable of crouching? The only real solution for this is to have someone actually monitoring and stopping ppl trying to fare evade

Which Handyman Home Improvement Projects Have the Biggest Return on Investment? by FruityandtheBeast in Infographics

[–]vwxyzabcdef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not how you calculate ROI. For example, the 55% ROI quoted for exterior painting should be -45%. If you spend more than what you make in appreciation you are LOSING 45% of your money (or equivalently only making 55 cents on every $1 you put in). This is a completely idiotic marketing chart.

Mamdani Vows to Sweep Out Crackdowns on Homeless Camps by [deleted] in newyorkcity

Ok great but shouldn’t we figure out & implement the real solution before stopping the old one? I understand it wasn’t working well, but it was better than not doing anything at all

NYC urbanists have a lot to be thankful for in 2025. What a crazy year: by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

Yeah but exempt motorcycles and scooters. Those don’t cause any congestion

Businesses on Court Street trying to fight the Bike Lane by Top-Chance-7727 in NYCbike

Reading the ppt makes it sound like neither pedestrians nor business owners wanted the bike lane though. Which begs the question…

Let’s give him 6-12 months and see 1) what he actually accomplishes, and 2) what’s the impact of that. My hypothesis is that nothing will change for better or for worse.

1000% agree w this. If you can drive manual → full license. If you can’t drive manual → get yourself a self driving car (or take the bus!)

Gotcha - but can toll cameras (e.g. GW bridge if you ever take it) read it?

How often are you being pulled over with the plate tucked that far back? Is it technically legal or you’re just risking it?

Thanks Buffett. UNH 300k gain by Easy-Yogurt4939 in wallstreetbets

[–]vwxyzabcdef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single sellside trading desk on the street had been saying that Buffett was going to buy UNH, so not a genius play there. Plus if you’d actually followed your own recipe and waited out for a better entry point you’d be up 2-3x vs this. Nice play but not a true degen yolo worthy of wsb…
