Is red lobster run by sovcits? Was the article written by sovcits? Where are the sovcits, Mr Bones?!

I have been to some nice places for seafood, but in my city there’s only red lobster if you need a crab fix. It does the job, but it’s getting pricey for what you get.

Sorry I guess then I don’t understand the distinction you’re making? It’s not as though stocks are not liquid (or that margin loans are not) or that stocks are all funny money. I suppose if the tax rate was so exorbitant that selling stock would tank the share prices these ultra wealthy folks are holding them I see your point. I don’t think these numbers are that high though.

I agree if you’re saying that the cash-out net worth of these people is lower than their market valuations, but I doubt that it’s so much lower that they are no longer ultra rich. Besides, stocks are still assets to borrow against which is how the game is played at that level, so while the number is “fake” it’s also kinda not.

NBD, I saw this first actually.

True fact. That said, where I live A10s fly out of Grissom AFB still all the time.

Cards… Yes…

And my axe!

Yeah it’s taxed at a much lower rate. Short term capital gains is a real bitch. Long term isn’t so bad unless you’re liquidating a lot… Like enough to buy a house or car or something we are discussing now. Over 450k ish is taxed 20%, but you can get a margin loan for 3 to 12 percent AND it’s tax deductible lol.

Really, if you aren’t rich with stock you are getting F-ed in the A…

Well, if you take the current US “budget” as $4T per year, it’s a bit over $10B per day. So yeah it runs for more than a day.

Of course, this should be treated the same way as if you were to lose your job: you probably cut your expenses so as not to spend all your money in the first 2 weeks. Maybe the US would finally stop paying for tanks the army doesn’t want?

You’re mostly right here, except stocks are an asset you can take a loan against with a margin loan or a line of credit. I suggest if you are doing that it SHOULD count as realized gains because you absolutely can use such a loan to buy a house, a car, a yacht, an island in the South Pacific, or an aircraft carrier.

Or at least the same number of numbers.

That definitely looks like a guy who would have ploopy open source headphones.

Needs washed, but you can just heat the oil on the stove if you’ve seasoned the thing in the first place.

Better than the original. It totally slaps.

Thx sorry I didn’t read all your comments in the post, I was using that question as a proxy to whether or not your discussion was in good faith. It seems like the answer is yes.

I frequently wonder how many better metrics are available that just aren’t as easy to capture as stepping on the scale, grabbing blood oxygen, and taking blood pressure. I’m sure that part of the balance is value of vitals versus time or effort to collect them.

If more poeople had your perspective, I wouldn’t be constantly tempted to block this community. On my other account I did block after about 2 weeks. I have a bicycle, electric cars and work from home, but I can’t bicycle my 4 year old to swim lessons two nights a week 25 miles away. I have other kids and other time obligations you know? Doing the best I can, but it takes a car for now.

What science would change your mind? There’s never going to be a magical cutoff number for cholesterol or height or weight that separates healthy and not healthy.

Heuristics are useful tools and sometimes that’s the best you get. You need water to live, clogged arteries cause heart attacks, insulin resistance leads to diabetes. Exactly how much of any given thing causes bad outcomes is going to vary case by case, but doesn’t negate trends.

I say all this as a former wannabe body builder who hasn’t had a BMI under 25 in about 20 years, but I still know a BMI of 60 or 80 is no good.
