Only playing it.

Holy fuck, guys.

That Chappelle standup is goddamn hilarious.

Is it just me, or is the crop of 2020 Dems unusually filled with liars? I don't try to memorize the offenses, but I'm pretty sure several of them have proven track records of lies. And I can think back to the same thing in other years. John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Hillary. Usually they are in...

I'm definitely ignorant of how inheritance works. Is it fair to say that "taxy" stuff, or things that they (now you) have to pay ongoing taxes on (stock/bond holdings, real estate, businesses, royalties..) are subject to inheritance tax, but non-taxy stuff, like household goods, art, collectibles, g...

Inheritances are income to the receiving party. Forget the estate tax. Tax it within the income tax regime. I'd think that would have the same problems as the wealth tax. If your parents liked to collect art or cars or nice tools or some other non-financial things, and passed them down to you, you'...

Yeah, the train tech out of Japan is amazing. I'm always kind of confused when people refer to the moribund stagnant low growth economy of Japan. The image that conjures up doesn't seem to fit with everything I watch or read about the country. We on the other hand somehow keep growing but our roads...

When I started the PP: VTI was at $75.04 30 year Treasuries were at 2.95% Gold spot was $1,730 1 year Treasuries were at 0.18% VTI was over $154 July this year. I think it was about at it's peak at the time I started the PP, around what it was in 2007 before it crashed. Bonds hit 2.09% in July 2016,...

I realized this when reading your comment: only 5% of people can join the upper 5%, right? Argh, how selective!! If 3% of the middle/lower class joins the top 5%, and if the "middle/lower" is defined (arbitrarily) as the bottom 2/3, that 3% translates to 2% overall. Which leaves 3% for members of t...

I had the opportunity to go to Brown University or the University of Rhode Island. I went to Brown. I have this sneaking suspicion that somehow I'd have ended up in exactly the same place, with a lot less stress, and having spent a lot less of my parents' money. And Brown was "cheap" back then. My ...

On average, children whose parents make more than $200,000 a year score about 250 points higher on the SAT than children whose parents make $40,000 to $60,000. Only about one in 200 children from the poorest third of households achieves SAT scores at Yale’s median. It's almost like there's a big ge...
