#2 and #3 are the same thing

I was going to go through your post line by line, but this one right here just confirms what I said about you not understanding what you're talking about. "Value" vs "unrealized gain" is not the distinction you think it is. Let's say you bought a house for $100k. Now it's worth $300k, but you...

Even $7 is hitting $30 once you add sales tax. If you told me 5-10 years ago, I'd believe it.

Two years ago, you could get fast food meals for $6.25 each? I don't think so. Yes, prices are up, but I think your memory is a bit fuzzy, too.

Almost none of what you said is accurate. You clearly don’t understand how this works and I’m not particularly in the mood to educate you on the basics of tax law, again. Lots of states levy taxes on wealth rather than just gains. Property tax on real estate is the most common, but some also...

Now the neighbor says that the flag went up before they had words: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/us/justice-alito-neighbors-stop-steal-flag.html ETA: both sides sound insufferable.

You’d have to check the proposed legislation to see how that would’ve been handled, but realized losses are handled by allowing them to be booked against current and future gains.

They moved to TX from CA and brought all of their bad governance with them. Obviously.

Gotcha Oh no, it’s my claim. One merely need look at the celebrities each side elects (Arnold, Trump, Reagan, Sonny Bono and others vs just Al Franken), as well as the way celebrities are treated in the respective camps. On the left, it’s just sort of assumed that celebs will be on our side, so...

Gains on which you haven’t cashed out yet. If you buy $1000 worth of stock, and it increases in value to $2000, then as long as you hold the stock, you have $1000 in unrealized gains. Selling it “realizes” those gains.

How do you figure?

I think gender is fuzzier and less binary than many of us have long believed. We also have friends with two intersex kids; whole cultures have had traditions acknowledging third genders or subsets of people who change gender at puberty; and you can grow different parts just by screwing with your...

It’s behind a paywall. The section you quoted does not answer the question. But they do for people who stay there, which means they do penalize you for where you choose to live. The proposed wealth tax would have also applied to unrealized gains. And, again, it was only 0.4% and only on...

I know. That’s why I haven’t accused you, specifically, of trying to paint this dishonest picture. By that definition, I am confident in stating that I have seen 100x (maybe 1000x) as many Christians “grooming” children. Are you okay with saying that Christians are “grooming” their children...

It’s hard to overstate how little I care about these light displays. I tend to roll my eyes at most “awareness” displays and I really roll my eyes at anybody going gung ho with “red white and blue” stuff. If it were up to me, I’d either open it up to local artists to submit display ideas or do...

So your answer to the question of “what policy” is the effect of some unnamed policy? Do red states not have property taxes?

No, and I believe that’s why the term “groomer” was chosen here - because it implies predation. That hasn’t been my impression of these individuals (three of whom I knew before they started transitioning) and what they’ve expressed to me about their motivations. Because that’s what they are...

I’m amused that you chose a video directed at Republicans.
