@DividendBreeder Sales tax, income tax, capital gains tax... literally any of the other taxes the government takes from citizens. I hate the tax more people.

For people that believe we should not pay property taxes, how would you propose our society pays for the following? Police and Fire Rescue Public schools Roads and infrastructure Public parks Libraries

@BoomerDivvies having a million dollars is middle class these days.

A couple has: - $600,000 house with $400k equity - 2 paid off cars worth $50k - Investment portfolio worth $650k - Chequing/savings worth $35k - Kids educational accounts worth $80k ➡️ Do you really consider this couple to be millionaires? Or just middle class?

@OCpatriot_ Hot take- teachers are overpaid.

Let's run a little experiment together. First, let's agree on the math: - There are about 900 Billionaires in the US with a combined net worth of $3.2 Trillion. - There are 3.8 Million K-12 Public School teachers in the US. - There are 100 Million Americans on some sort of federal assistance. Let's start with teachers. How much of an increase to the average American K-12 teacher equals "playing teachers what they're worth"? $1,000 a year bump is too low. $10,000? Maybe. That's like $650 more a month. Not life changing but not nothing. But probably still not "what they're worth" so let's go much higher. $50,000 a year? That pushes them into a new tax bracket but it's still likely an additional $2,500 a month on their pockets. Now we're talking. That's $190,000,000,000 a year. Assuming we give teachers a 3% raise every year to keep up with inflation, and that we don't hire any more teachers, we run out of billionaire wealth in year 15. But we haven't yet touched the 100 Million Americans on federal assistance, healthcare, or childcare. So let's hold some of that back for them. Let's say we only fund those teachers with Billionaire wealth for 10 years, or $2.17 Trillion. We still have $1.03 Trillion for those other causes. Let's start with childcare. There are 4.2M children in America today with inadequate child care because their families are at or below the poverty line and their parents have to work and can't afford child care. The data says the very low end of childcare in this country costs $1,200 a month, so we'll use that. That works out to $60.48 Billion per year. Okay cool so we can fund that for 10 years at a cost of just under $605B from that $1.03T we had left after paying teachers "what they're worth" Oh, but we still have federal assistance, and healthcare, and now we only have about $400B left. We said earlier we have 100M Americans on federal assistance. Let's assume all of them need healthcare assistance too. We also said we have $400B left. If we equally disperse that $400B across 100M Americans over 10 years to assist in Healthcare that comes out to... $33 a month in additional healthcare assistance. Well that won't work. But that's all we have left. And then in 10 years we're completely out of Billionaire money and the massive teachers raises, the free childcare, and the paltry healthcare assistance runs out of funding. ...And America's economy collapses because we took the richest, most innovative, biggest job creating captains of industry, and made them penniless. Platner is insane.

@Jason @orenmeetsworld Uber ears?!? The most convoluted pricing middleman of all time..

@orenmeetsworld I just don’t like middle men and absurd gamesmanship in buying objects… too time consuming for me. I don’t want to play a chess game to buy a time piece… I want to understand the price and buy it without worrying — like buying a Tesla or ordering uber eats 😂

@Hedgeye But why?

Turkey liquidated nearly 90% of its U.S. Treasuries

@MarketPalmer_ Minivan

I have no idea why Tesla hasn't come out with a Tahoe-style SUV. Pair that with FSD and it would be one of the top-selling vehicles in the world.

Well argued. The massive long-term increase in spending that has resulted in worse and worse results must be an anomaly.

@TheStalwart Top 1000? How many names are there. This is terrible data

People always get really interested in baby name trends. Here's a stat I hadn't seen before. Of the top-1000 most popular names each year, here's how many were on the list both 5 years prior and 5 years after Kind of surprised by the uptick, but posting for #intellectualhonesty

@BullandBaird Does this include student loans?

Here's a nice comparison between now and the late 90s bubble Household Debt service as a % of disposable income (how levered up are consumers relative to their paycheck) late 90s: 11.25% Today: 9.7%

@RealJustinCooke @Austen No they’re not. Cut government spending, don’t tax more

@Austen Who the hell are buying the 10M - 200M 2nd homes, yachts, and jets then? I’m a capitalist, not a communist, but adjusting tax rates or moderate estate taxes are reasonable positions…

Virtually no one “hoards” their wealth. Pretty much everyone who is rich turns around and reinvests it almost instantly.

I’m so sick of hearing about the hantavirus, and the Strait of Hormuz. Can we please have another Sydney Sweeney news cycle with her gigantic honkers?

@ThinkAppraiser No there’s not

Sometimes I wonder if there’s more to life than sitting in traffic for 3 to 4 hours a day

@ArynneWexler Protect our parks

10 years ago, I went to my first U.S. National Park Since then, I've hiked, slogged, spelunked, snowshoed, paddle boarded, and rappelled 48 of the 63 parks Being born an American is one of the greatest gifts given to me Exploring our parks is one of the greatest gifts I've given to myself America is so big and so beautiful Find your park — you'll be glad you did
