Re: Biden’s ‘aggressive’ use of a tax loophole he’s trying to shut down

I can’t view the article, but I’m familiar with the concept. I think your former boss was way too conservative on that. I agree. His other partner had no formulas like that for the salary / Sub S split. Were you a Sub S? If so, what was typically your split? In recently reading how health insurance...

Re: Fox News

If FNC was a church, it would be called Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage. It is unwatchable for me, and I agree with their positions. It seems like it’s designed to rile up old people, and is successful at doing just that with my parents. They have it on all the time, like it’s another utility in the ...

Oh no!
Where I'm from, the locals are terrified of libertarians. Democrats, Republicans, they can understand. Libertarians are a huge boogeyman for some reason.
Nobody likes libertarians. It is our lot in life.

Or maybe people are in fatigue on the whole subject and want to move on with their lives regardless of who's right and who's wrong.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

I went into a big chain hospital today. No masking requirements for entry or otherwise. I gather that this is still not the case in some US states? In my part of Western Massachusetts it is always masks for anything medically related. I think that might be the only places where that is the case. No...

Re: Are you positive or negative on the future?

Here is a 6 minute video by John Stossel on the subject. It features the constantly wrong Paul Ehrlich (Population Bomb), Greta T, and a guy, Marian Tupy, who argues the other side and has written a new book, Superabundance.

Re: Tucker Carlson: Biden is Done

I predicted that they would dump Biden early in his term. Using the info from the laptop. When it didn’t happen, I figured they realized they didn’t want the embarrassment of President Harris. So then I figured they’d allow the laptop stuff in time to make sure he doesn’t stand for reelection. The d...
