Marc Andreessen says the US needs a $20,000 EV if it doesn't want to 'lose the auto industry' to China
  • The Ford Maverick has gone up in price a bit, but it launched at 20k. It was a hybrid 4-seater with a short truck bed and Android Auto/Warplanes in the Entertainment system.

    That's pretty much everything I want.

    Of course, they made like 12 of them, so the wait list to buy one was measured in years.

    There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?
  • I'm not saying for US citizens and US companies. That's how they avoid taxes - by registering in anther country.

    Any person or company that does business in the US, even tangentially.

    You're based out of Panama? Cool. Pay them what they require, then pay the remaining X that a US company would own to either Panama, the US, or some other country you operate within.

    Don't grant them tax havens.

    I've got a spicy take, but desperately want to get it off my chest
  • Season 2 can absolutely be ignored entirely going into season 3, which is good because season 2 is complete garbage. And that annoys the hell out of me because it's the one with Q, Guinan, and even a brief appearance of Wesley.

  • My solution:

    Your tax burden is your tax burden. If it's 15% and you run off to a country where it's 5% to avoid taxes, that's fine. You can pay them 5%.

    But you're still on the hook for the remaining 10%.

    If the 5% country tries to act as a tax haven and refuses to enforce the remaining 10%, they get a national embargo until they get in line.

    Drop your most "wtf that's not how the world works" from movies/tv shows.
  • Those "smaller rounds" were extremely hot 5.56 rounds - an upgraded version of the rounds the guy above me is saying fires through brick walls and cracks ribs if it hits armor.

  • And why is a school doing a nativity.

    I'm Christian and have taken part in dozens of nativity, but none at school.
