Not really. See table 2 here (a ways down the page)

Cold generally slows degradation.

But using them at cold temps is bad

True, but anything over that just counts toward estate tax, which has the aforementioned exemptions.

The funny thing is, the gift wouldn’t be taxed anyway. It’s certainly valued less than the multi-million-dollar federal lifetime gift tax exemption (and no state has an exemption under 1 million, either)

Mars was full so my ancestors had no choice but to come here :(

I know this is a meme community and probably not the right place to ask. But the meme prompted my question and I promise this is a good faith question.

If labor is entitled to all it creates (i agree! In principle), who determines what that is? For example - someone operating an injection molding machine might “create” a million doodads in a year. But the machine and the material and the electricity and the QA of those doodads are all created/done by someone else. How is that divvied up?

Personally I am leaning toward UBI funded by a capital tax, along with a functional labor market, as kind of a solution here. But I’d appreciate any easy-to-digest references.

Is there any evidence the money was used inappropriately or stolen? How was she paying her living expenses? How confident are you that she shouldn’t have needed the cash just to live?

It sounds like maybe you have more context to the situation, but I just want to say that cash-out refinancing on its own isn’t necessarily predatory or malicious.

The curve is clearly concave-down, indicating that, in fact, the number of facts per fact decreases as facts increase.

NYTimes reports that IDF claims Hamas killed them shortly before they were found. I thought I recalled seeing elsewhere that they were claimed to have been shot, but I can’t find that source at the moment.

Of course, how credible is the IDF?

they get audited, at least, yearly by law

The IRS doesn’t audit annually, companies hire 3rd party auditors. And it’s not a tax requirement, it’s a public-company requirement.

Yes there is a difference, but LLC is a legal concept, not a tax one. The IRS taxes sole proprietors the same whether or not they have an LLC.

Tax entities include sole proprietorship (default), partnerships, s corps, c corps. Any of those can be LLCs, but they don’t have to.

Profitability is just a proxy for whether someone is legitimately running a business, or just trying to save money on their hobby. Businesses can deduct expenses, hobbies cannot.

So if you are running an etsy store or an engineering company and buy a 3d printer to make parts, the cost of that 3d printer is subtracted from revenue for tax purposes. If your “business” is actually a hobby, it’s not legally a business expense and therefore it’s not deductible

How many times did you reboot it?

Three, you always tell me to do three

They should duke it out with the guy from Your other post

I haven’t seen it in person, but one of my kids lunch options is a “turkey and cheese bento box” that sounds suspiciously like a lunch able. My state has universal free lunch (and breakfast! Which is equally as vapid, nutritionally)

Got any utube videos about it?

Except…they didn’t keep up that same rate? M2 ij Jan 2020 was about 15.4 trillion, in April 2024 it was 20.9 trillion. So 26% of M2 supply was created since 2020, not 80%, not 95%.

Fair. When I read “no one actually wants to use nukes” I think “no nuclear power’s public geopolitical doctrine involves a nuclear first strike.” But individuals will not necessarily toe that line.

“Tech” is a conflated term. The way I read OP is that they don’t want their cars main user interface to be a smartphone app. Doesn’t mean the car can’t be technologically advanced.
