In August, voters can choose whether or not to approve a 0.2 percent sales tax — that they already pay — for another 20 years. This revenue will go towards STA’s Moving Forward Plan. One thing it would pay for would be to put more bus stops in rural areas @kxly4news

Want to hurt significantly reduce your chances of financial freedom? Buy too expensive of a car. Want to ensure you work until age 70 with no retirement, except Social Security? Roll negative loan balances from one car loan to the next.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter

The US auto loan crisis is accelerating: The average amount owed by underwater car borrowers rose to ~$7,200 in Q1 2026, the highest on record and the 4th consecutive annual increase. Over the last 4 years, the average amount owed by negative equity car borrowers has risen +71%. Overall, ~30% of car buyers who traded in a vehicle in Q1 had negative equity. This comes as pandemic-era vehicles, bought at peak prices, have lost value faster than borrowers can pay down the loans. This compounds existing pressure on auto buyers amid elevated vehicle prices and interest rates. Auto credit stress is spreading.

We have a moral obligation to provide basic health and survival services to every person in our country (even illegal) either by means of government assistance or creating an environment for them to provide it for themselves. That said, our borders should be secure and illegals should be deported as quickly as possible to minimize the burden on taxpayers.

@OutdoorFinance A "9-5" is never just 9-5 (regardless of actual work hours) But as a small business owner, my hours are whatever they need to be. Some flexibility but some much longer days too.

I think the worst part of working a “9-5” is not feeling in control of your time. My normal work hours are 7:30AM-4:30PM, but really that means waking up at 5:30AM and getting home by 5:00PM. That’s almost 12 hours of my day dedicated to getting ready, commuting, and working.

Because you don't understand the point of Matthew's gospel, re-read what I wrote! It wasn't God's purpose for Matthew's Gospel. John's Gospel includes the statement because it directly highlights His purpose on Earth. 'Investigated carefully' in no way means he wrote down everything. Not sure why you think it does. Read John 21:25. Not everything was written down. Solves YOUR 'issue.

If Matthew was an eyewitness apostle, why didn’t HE record “no one comes to the Father except through me”? He had every reason to include the most important sentence Jesus ever spoke. He didn’t. Third, Luke explicitly says he investigated carefully (Luke 1:1-4) and got his material from “those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses.” If “I am the way” was circulating among eyewitnesses, Luke would have found it. He didn’t. The eyewitness argument actually deepens the problem. It doesn’t solve it.

"(Saying) you have to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior or you won't get to heaven makes no sense." Rev. Anna Flowers of the United Church in Walpole argues that "I am the way, the truth and the life" is NOT literal, & that there are many valid religions and ways to Jesus.

You do know that Mark and Luke are secondhand accounts, right? They only recorded what others told them. Mark is essentially a speedrun through Jesus' ministry, and it is thought that Luke got most of his information from Peter and Matthew. Matthew (record of Jesus' genealogy) and John (record of Jesus's divine purpose on Earth) were the only 2 (of the Gospels) who spent time with Jesus during His ministry. Taking this into account, it makes perfect sense why this statement only appears in the Gospel of John.

And you still haven’t answered the actual question. Why didn’t the most important words ever spoken in human history, the words that determine the eternal destiny of billions, get recorded by Matthew, Mark, or Luke? Three gospel writers documenting Jesus’ ministry in detail. Not one of them included “no one comes to the Father except through me.” No epistle quotes Him saying it. One author recorded it, writing last, with a stated theological aim. If Jesus said it openly, that silence is inexplicable. Insults and verse dumps don’t answer it. The question is still on the table.

Washington state is likely adding an income tax for all. I was talking with a friend about accelerating Roth conversions while the tax isn’t in place. The planning never stops.

Following Jesus was never a promise of a pain-free life. It's a promise of His presence through the pain. The most radiant believers aren't the ones who've avoided sorrow. They're the ones who've learned to hold joy and grief in the same hand. Their hope doesn't deny the tears; it endures them. That kind of faith preaches without saying a word. "You will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy." — John 16:20 Who in your life has modeled this kind of joy-through-tears? What did you learn from them?

@GenXmillionaire Ah, so a large Roth conversion (or multiple years of them) will reduce or eliminate the subsidies. That's a tough call. Trying to reduce possible future taxes by losing the subsidies today. If I had a magic 8 ball, I'd let you borrow it! 😂

@GenXmillionaire I think if WA can figure out a way to implement more and more taxes they will. It's better to be prepared either way.

@MELLCBBB The money was earned before the tax but I will be withdrawing it after. I assume they will still tax it. What would you think?

@InvestFreedom05 And most people don't have one! When your expenses are 95-98% of your income it leaves very little room (if any) to build even a $500 emergency fund!
