@lomaxx You'd be taxed as if you made $290k that one year, not every year.

This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me.
Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000
I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k
If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year.
Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax
But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.

@ChelseaR19580 @Voltzzzzzzz36 @local_hitler @enzio8843 There is less HIV to screen for here, which is the point of the meme from the OP.
English
@Opcn @Voltzzzzzzz36 @local_hitler @enzio8843 Americans screen for HIV significantly less than Russia do so what’s your point?
English
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Russians view Siberia as only a place to extract wealth from. 1 in 10 oil dollars from siberia go back to pay the workers and drill new wells, and 9 in 10 go to Moscow.

🥴 This is what a typical road looks like in a city with a population of almost 20,000 in Russia.
Zeya is one of the main centers of the gold mining industry in the Amur region.
All the money just went to Oreshnik and missiles to kill Ukrainians.
English
@ChelseaR19580 @Voltzzzzzzz36 @local_hitler @enzio8843 The meme at the top is comparing Russian to American statistics. I'm not sure why ukraine is relevant. It's not that I'm brain dead and can't understand the difference between the two, it's that you need to domore leg work if you are going to argue that it's relevant.
English
@Opcn @Voltzzzzzzz36 @local_hitler @enzio8843 If you are braindead that is, but counties test their population at very uneven rates, each year about 40 million Russians undergo testing while only like 5% of Ukrainians get screened for HIV
English
@ChelseaR19580 @Voltzzzzzzz36 @local_hitler @enzio8843 The new diagnosis per 1000 tests rate in Russia is almost exactly equal to the rate in the US so that is probably not a relevant statistic for expanding on nuance between the infection rate being twice as high.
English
@Voltzzzzzzz36 @local_hitler @enzio8843 Russia has more detected cases of HIV, but there is a nuance as they say

@criticalurban I've lived in dense walkable areas in Atlanta, and Chicago, and grew up in a pre-euclid walkable neighborhood in Anchorage, Alaska.
Growing food in an urban area is kind of a waste of space. It's better to increase the density in urban spaces than to sprawl out to rural ones.
English
@Opcn It sounds as though there should be more density where you live. I live in a very dense walkable urban middle housing rowhome neighborhood, but the developers would love to tear down the rowhomes for apartments, and the urbanists support that. Urbanism is developer propaganda.
English
What does traffic look like: Standing room only on a bus. "Move to the back please."
English
@criticalurban I don't live in a city, I moved to a rural area to take care of a family member and have remained for agricultural reasons.
It's too wide to be a bus, and there is too much structure in the top. Busses get rigidity from the frame in the floor trains get more from the body.
English
@Opcn Now can you tell? The obvious reason why a mass transit does not replace a highway is because of its inability to transport people between unique locations, although buses are a little better than trains. Do you even live in a city?

@elonmusk And America put a fat greedy nut in charge too. Gonna continue to get rougher and rougher on us.

@buildingbulldog weatherspark.com/compare/y/2391… The weather isn't wildly different from european cities with large numbers of bicycle commuters. The big difference is bicycle infrastructure. They have more snow to clear but have to clear snow for cars too.
English
Would anyone from the Bike Cult care to tell us how these are all conditions caused by cars?
NYC Actual@NYCactual
Some fun facts about the folly of permanently dedicating road infrastructure in a northern seasonal climate environment. NYC on average: •125 days of measurable rain • 29.8 inches of snow • 170-180 days with less than 12 hours of daylight • 110-120 days below 40 degrees • 20-40 thunderstorms per year

@SaltyGoat17 Biden's inflation was from restarting the economy after huge deficit spending under Trump. Trump campaigned on deflation, and then kept rolling with inflation.

@fctsMttrLsShttr @potatoslav No duct for an outdoor compressor behind the house. Only two thin copper lines and a small layer of insulation.
This technology works, this technology is easily adapted to older homes. You just keep guessing (incorrectly) about how it works to give a bad reason why it wont.
English
@Opcn @potatoslav But running a duct through the house is costly.
English
@fctsMttrLsShttr @potatoslav That is where you would want the evaporator inside, the compressor can be anywhere outside (or on the roof, or ducted out). You want lights in your bedroom too, but you don't need to run the electricity into the house or apartment through the front wall of your room to do that.
English
@Opcn @potatoslav "I've never once seen a minisplit in the front of a house"
That's where my bedroom is. So that's where I would want it.
English
@fctsMttrLsShttr @potatoslav I've never once seen a minisplit in the front of a house. Mine makes considerably less noise than any portable fan I've ever owned.
English
@Opcn @potatoslav I'm never going to get those. Ruins the façade and makes noise.

@BDHerzinger In the age of drone warfare it mightbe a grenade strapped to a quadcopter that meets the soldier in the trench. How muscular they are might not matter at all.

“Student loan soldiers” my guy good luck coming up against a 225 lb Marine from Missouri in the trenches. Our kids are alright. 🇺🇸
PLA_Overwhelm@junshiguancha1
10 years ago, I said US had the strongest military. Today? China has surpassed America. Advanced tech. Massive production. 🇺🇸US: old junk + student loan soldiers. 🇨🇳China: cutting-edge weapons + patriots. The shift is complete. 2025 V-Day Parade proved it.👇
