I need more context. What are elderly Belgian women known for?

This. I built a new machine and assumed the PSU was the least likely to be the issue. After testing the video card, ram, cpu and motherboard… I tried my spare PSU and it worked great. smh

I think so anyway. I haven’t checked.

Yes write off rules get complicated fast. People generally agree with the very simple example I’ve given but all you have to do is ask “What if you bought a drill while building the fence?” and you’re gonna trigger a whole host of opinions.

But I think sometimes people only see the complicated examples and think “write offs are a scam got it” so I think it’s important to provide an example where most people would generally agree it’s not. It helps people realize there’s some nuance to the discussion.

That being said: Tax the fucking rich already.

I’m seeing a lot of complicated explanations so I’m gonna go with a simpler one.

Say you build a fence for somebody and they pay you $1000. You have to report that income to the IRS. Let’s say the tax rate is 40% so they say “Well you owe us $400.” But instead you provide them with receipts saying you bought $500 of supplies in the form of lumber, screws and such. You have “written off” your expenses and shown the IRS you really only made $500 so you only owe $200 in taxes.

You’re not wrong but it is encouraging to read a sensible take from someone like him once in a while. It gives people hope to keep fighting.

He actually was lecturing current executives. Admonishing them for behaving as if employees would give a shit about a rising stock price.

Improving walkability or public transit won’t matter if people can’t afford to live there.

cities/countries find another way to bring people in.

What you mean like affordable housing??

Because most shareholders are boomers.
