Anoche cenamos en Miami. Llega la cuenta: 20% de propina incluida. Perfecto. Entonces viene el camarero y nos explica que esa propina se reparte entre todo el personal, y nos anima a dejarle una adicional solo para él. Llámame tacaña, pero esto ya me parece abusivo. No es cuestión de dinero; es la sensación de que cada vez te están pidiendo un poco más. Me hizo sentir incómoda. ¿Soy la única a la que esto le parece excesivo?

@Cryptoboyy_Aji As an Xer, I give you grace because you are young lacking wisdom. During Boomer years - pensions removed from benefits, crash of 87, dot com, 9/11, 2008. You whining is a waste of time.

The boomers that spent the 80s drunk driving to $5 steak dinners, buying houses on factory salaries, and retiring at 60 with a pension wants to explain to me why I’m bad with money.
They lived like rockstars on a forklift salary and called it discipline.
I live like a monk on a corporate salary and still can’t afford what they had at 28.
The advice didn’t age well.
Neither did the economy it was built on.

A crazy tax idea for Elon Musk.
He could become the biggest OZ investor in history.
The IPO is the trigger.
SpaceX goes public June 12 under the ticker SPCX and the valuation might go to $2 trillion. The largest IPO ever.
Insider lockup runs 180 days. It expires around December 15.
The day it ends, insiders can sell. Every share sold throws off a capital gain. For Elon, holding billions in SpaceX paper, the gain is staggering.
Under the new Opportunity Zone rules that take effect January 1, 2027, any capital gain rolled into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days of the sale earns a five-year tax deferral.
Sell in late December 2026. Invest in early 2027. The tax bill is not due until 2032.
If the QOF investment is held for ten years, the entire appreciation comes out tax-free. No capital gains. No depreciation recapture. Zero.
But Elon isn't going to suddenly start investing in apartments or hotels in low income areas. He is going to remain obsessed with investing in his core businesses.
Good news.
The town of Starbase, Texas sits inside an Opportunity Zone census tract. Grimes County, where Musk is building a $55 billion semiconductor fab called Terafab, has three OZ tracts of its own.
Elon could sell SPCX shares after lockup. Roll the gain into his own Qualified Opportunity Fund. Use that fund to build infrastructure at Starbase or finance the Terafab site.
Then lease the asset back to the public company.
SpaceX pays the rent. The rent is deductible to SpaceX. The depreciation flows to Elon and offsets his other income for a decade.
Then he sells the QOF interest in 2037.
No tax on the appreciation. No recapture on the depreciation. The original gain that funded it all was deferred to 2032.
The IPO funds the infrastructure. The infrastructure runs the company. The taxpayer pays nothing for ten years and almost nothing forever.
This is the crazy idea.
The mechanics are real. The zones are real. The IPO is real.
I am glad to advise his tax team. 🤠

@BarbellFi I bet 60 year old you will feel differently...

I’m a generous tipper, but remember that restaurant owners need to pay competitive wages and shouldn't rely on customers to cover their employees’ pay.
If I saw this sign I would immediately walk out of the restaurant.

I agree with this! If you can’t afford a tip, stay home

Let’s be clear about what this means: Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court is silencing Black voters.
This is the Republican plan to try and hold onto power.
We must fight back.

The 6-3 majority on the SCOTUS has given some state officials in the South the permission to remove a cast from a broken bone that hasn’t healed — the injury doesn’t disappear just because you stop treating it. #JimCrow will return if we don’t fight it again. The time is now.
