I completely agree with you but unfortunately public opinion doesn’t always work that way. People are irrational and don’t understand how numbers and statistics work. They hear ‘driverless car caused fatality’ and brains will just turn off.
Won’t someone think of the children?!?
You can’t possibly be this dumb
Haha I said literally that exact same thing to this asshole the other day word for word! Or maybe it was another moronic asshole on lemmy, there’s tons here and it’s hard to tell them all apart. But this guy is definitely a particularly bad and aggressive flavor of stupid for sure.
…yeah I think I’m done here.
Thanks. I post a benign thought that i found interesting and this lunatic goes berserk. I’ve been on tons of forums on the interwebs for decades now and so far lemmy has more idiots and assholes than anywhere I’ve ever been, and they’re super aggressive too. Seriously considering deleting my account here.
If only Kenny had managed their HOA health plan and gone to see his doctor in time.
My god man I wasn’t attacking you give me a fucking break. It’s an interesting thought and I was genuinely interested in exploring the concept in an empirical analytical manner. There’s tons of hard data available to analyze and draw inferences from. We could’ve had a nice discussion here. But instead you turn out to be a raging cunt and go full attack mode. I just don’t get it.
This should be on a national level like every other industrialized nation offers.
No disagreement there! Only comment is that Kenny in 5D can’t possibly be worse than Carol in HR lol
I always wondered why neighborhoods, HOAs, and apartment buildings etc don’t form their own insurance plans to entice people to live there. Businesses get better rates for group plans so why don’t other organizations? Insurance isn’t my field so I don’t know if it’s possible or how it would work, just curious.
So that’s a no, you’ve never looked at a balance sheet before in your life. You don’t know any key ratios, you don’t know how to compute profit margins, return on equity, efficiency, and other metrics. You don’t know how to find this data, or what to do with it when fed to you. You don’t know how to compile all these data and analyze it to make inferences. You refuse to look at data presented.
You don’t know how to substantiate your own point: “margins are fucking fat in this country.”
So you go around mouthing off about shit you don’t understand, have no way of verifying or refuting, you are hostile towards someone presenting these data and analysis in good faith, and then fall back to ad hominem attacks for good measure.
And somehow I’m the asshole here.
Yeah I think I’m done here.
I was hoping to flip Texas blue in 2028 or 32 but I guess not. It’s extra frustrating because you know all this insane shit they pull is specifically designed to discourage liberals from moving in.
8 day old account, second post is to be an asshole to me for no reason. Classy. You’re either a bot or another shitty lemming. You’ll fit right in here with all the other insufferable shitheads in this forum.

I feel like for $7.5 billion they could build a city wide monorail system with tons of stops. Charge a few bucks a ride and it pays for itself. Or make it totally free and see what happens when your city suddenly has total freedom of movement. Bet it would have huge economic benefits for everyone. (So of course it’ll never happen.)
What an interesting strategy. All this time we’ve been worried about deep fakes and stuff unduly influencing public opinion. Kudos to them for just shamelessly making shit up, very innovative, I’ll give them that.
In my direct experience (albeit anecdotal) this is not simply a joke, but reality. So many of my colleagues have this fear, especially the younger ones, and with everyone demanding full remote it fucks my shit up real bad when they won’t even answer the damn phone.
What council? Wouldn’t their insurance be on the hook then? Eventually somewhere an insurer has written a policy for that $10m cliff side house. Per my previous point, hopefully their actuaries accurately priced the risk.
All capital gains and losses foot on schedule D line 16 and flows into 1040 line 7. The worksheet below breaks out items treated differently like section 1250 recapture, qualified dividends and LTCG:
https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/capital_gain_tax_worksheet_1040i.pdf
It’s all income, just different tax rates and rules.If you want higher LTCG tax rates sure, crank it up I don’t care.
Wealth tax is NOT simply asking for higher tax rates.
Wealth tax typically includes unrealized capital gains. All unrealized gains eventually become realized one way or another. At that point LTCG tax or estate tax applies.
Taxing unrealized capital gains is a terrible idea. Wealth tax is a terrible idea. Income tax is just fine. Income tax includes realized capital gains. Crank that rate up if you want. Just no wealth tax. These are completely separate concepts.
Understand now?
What gets me is the rabid hatred for any and all things finance/accounting/economics/business etc. These people have never looked at a balance sheet in their lives and don’t have a clue about anything technical in these fields. And yet they have extremely strong opinions about technical shit they don’t understand, and express these opinions for loudly and confidently. Drives me crazy.
At least with the house on the cliff example it’s the insurance companies paying for it though right? Hopefully their premiums were priced appropriately and the insurer doesn’t raise everyone else’s rates to cover their folly. I’ve no doubt they would if that’s the case, but I presume their actuaries did a decent job computing that risk so who knows.
Reminder that Rick Scott’s insurance company was responsible for one of the biggest Medicare frauds in history under his leadership.

He also didn’t let his administration use the phrase climate change - in a state with 1350 miles of coastline : https://www.npr.org/2015/03/10/392142452/florida-gov-scott-denies-banning-phrase-climate-change
He was voted in as senator replacing bill Nelson, an environmentalist, mission specialist on a shuttle mission to space, and all around good reasonable guy.
Fuck Rick scott and fuck Florida.
