They are a stock buyer and holder, so they take part in that pricing. If inflated valuations became a detriment, the stocks would be priced accordingly. We shouldn’t desire unrealistic p/e ratios.

If the valuations are bullshit, then the tax code should call them out on it so that valuations wouldn’t be so inflated. If the valuations aren’t bullshit, then they should be able to sell to get the money.

No, I don’t think a genocidal ethnostate that protects rapists has the right to exist.

I’m saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of “Next generation will be fucked” is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.

Change is not necessarily progress.

They did it to cut off China who was getting oil from Venezuela.

But it’s messier.

Oh boy, guess we can look forward to more vibe-coded slop which will make it an even bigger pain to use.

What we really need is money out of politics and for AIPAC to register as the foreign lobby that it is.

The plan pushed by Cruz and Scott has been sought by conservatives for many years. Under current law, an investor who bought $100 worth of stock in 1990 and sold it today for $300 would currently owe capital gains taxes on the full $200 in profit. But the $100 investment in 1990 would be worth roughly $230 in today’s dollars after accounting for inflation. Under the Cruz-Scott proposal, the investor would only owe taxes on that $70, rather than the full $200. That is why the proposal is known as “indexing capital gains for inflation.”

Ah, so the ultra-wealthy who have been holding during the longest bull market in history can get a massive discount for dumping on us peons?

In my state, republicans slapped on much higher EV registration fees but when democrats came into power, they just left them there. This pattern seems to mirror the national strategy.

Maybe if those individuals are rich. Everyone else has been getting screwed without the government caring for a long while. It’s why so many had foreclosed on their home in 2008 while big banks were bailed out and their execs rewarded themselves with big bonuses.

They should try entering the desktop GPU market.

Guess that plan didn’t work out, huh?

I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.

So does the national debt matter or does it not?

How much democracy did we bring to Iraq?

“The people” rising up and making demands. You seem to think dozens of people making a demand should have the backing of foreign intervention. What do you think of thousands making demands? Why support one and not the other?

so I became a liberal so I can help defeat the republicans.

You mean like the democrats who are in full control of their primary process and who pushed liberal sweethearts hillary, then biden, and then harris down our throats? Those are the liberals helping to defeat republicans?

There were literally thousands of Americans who stormed the capitol on January 6, 2021. Do you think their will to overturn the election should have been carried out?
