This is an elegant solution / argument about the value of “unrealized gains” and whether we should tax them.
If you’re using them like they’re worth something, they’re worth something.

It’s always funny how taxing unrealized gains is a no-no but borrowing against it is fine.
How about we make borrowing against any and all unrealized gains an immediately taxable event.

Property taxes are like libraries in that people would scream they are an impossible leftist fantasy if they hadn't already existed forever.
No my man, the answer absolutely involves taxing those gains.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Have fun in Bumshart, Nebrahoma I guess.
While supporters suggest the proposed tax is needed to fund health care, critics call the ballot proposition an effort to “destroy tech in California.”

I have a suspicion this might actually be true of everyone with any chronic condition that you are just hearing about for the first time. 🤔
PSA: it’s 2025 and I am pretty sure every single person you have ever met who mentions they have seasonal depression to you has, in fact, already heard about and tried the lights and vitamin D supplements

People don’t love all these giant data centers being built, so my wife and I are offering an alternative: a good ol’ fashioned mom-and-pop data store. Small, cozy, a place where we know you by name and offer you a donut and coffee while you check the data of your financial crimes.

We should abolish congressional districts and hold all elections for Congress at large, electing the top N vote getters.
If a region has a strong enough identity that it needs a specific candidate it will get one because people will vote for them.
Also, abolish the senate entirely.
