what are the alternatives?
besides Florida, right next to Massachusetts is tax-free New Hampshire fyi...
uh, I know a # of affluent ppl who are relocating to Florida
a lot of ppl legitimately feel that 'trans rights' impinge on the rights of others - eg female athletes. and it's legit to ask whether hormone therapies benefit patients- there have been studies on that in the UK, but the US may have rushed to implement them without adequate safeguards or standards
is a transcript available?
how do you run a business if you're forced to provide service to people who don't pay their bills?
ugh. a GREAT reason to move to suburbs. just do it
u can do that but state & federal capital gain taxes will be a hit of about 30%, the same as a significant market drop. if in your 401k a different story
what an unbelievable asshole
their business section is really terrible compared to WSJ too.
nah - cars are essential. like, I want to get to the office, or go shopping. I came back from the supermarket today with 2 29lb boxes of cat litter, and it was raining. Think that's fun on a bike? Think again.

the owners aren't necessarily trumpers, unless it's a strike by the workers of Fox News. A strike is a blunt-edge tool. And it seems you missed the memo that the working class/ blue collar workers have largely become trump supporters
a strike - would kill the workers, and their businesses. it isn't targeted against the problem. so, it's a bad idea
but
1- the batteries can only do diurnal arbitrage. Shoulder season solar is... worthless
2 - california is not applicable to other markets b/c they have VERY consistent solar irradiance (cloudless days).

Solar is fabulous if you're behind the meter with net-metering, a form of regulatory arbitrage
worthless to the power markets - see spot prices in shoulder season. worthless to power markets = worthless
? New england is pretty north. My panels only produce 1/4 as much in winter vs summer. During the spring shoulder season with peak solar output, the value of production is nearly worthless
"Columbia" = the University
"Colombia" = the country
their position is defensible even if you don't agree with it.
you could say George Santos is a loser too... what gives?
