That's fine.

This is assuming I actually believe they have to increase prices for this

I mean, what do you guys honestly think would happen if people collectively just stopped acknowledging insults towards them?(obviously this is a hypothetical and would unlikely happen due to the nature of humans but I am curious to know what you guys believe the outcome could look like)


I have no idea with this being an ideal to reach for, but most people who say people shouldn't let insults bother them, are just as emotional over different kinds of words.

Like, you (not you specifically) can't both say words and speech are the most important ideals, while also saying people shouldn't let words hurt them.

Like, everyone is emotional. Just a matter of what they're emotional about

Temeraire is a series of nine alternate history fantasy novels written by American author Naomi Novik.[1][2] The novels follow the adventures of Captain William Laurence and his dragon, the eponymous Temeraire, and reimagine events of the Napoleonic Wars with "an air force of dragons, manned by crews of aviators".[

...which is why state and federal tax rates should be flipped anyway.

As-is, the "reward" for a state spending relatively-high taxes on more services should be "this state has more services!" not a back-door federal subsidy.

Well SALT serves the purpose of avoiding double taxation which is inherently wrong. The problem is, its in place for low income people but not moderate to high income people. So if you make a low income, you can write off those state income and property taxes off to lower your federal tax bill. But if you make a moderate amount of income you can't, so you get taxed twice.


For most poor people, they probably take the regular deduction

you poor bums are just looking for handouts, at least thats what you guys are projecting.

SALT cap also hurts property value, people are less willing to spend money and thus all property values go down.

Not to mention its essentially double taxation. Theoretical numbers, if I make 100k, lets say I pay 30% of that to the federal government and 10% of that to the state government. If 10k of that is going to the state government, then shouldn't the government only tax me on the rest of the 90k? I'm getting taxed twice on that 10k and thats money I never even see. Same goes vice versa. And what does that money fund? It funds state programs so the federal government doesn't have to.

All of this just makes logical sense. But I guess low socioeconomic classes are associated with low IQs.


Actually not trying to be snark but you're asking why do they calculate both federal and state income tax based on the same AGI?

Hmm, if they had a state AGI, wouldn't that actually end up being higher. Since the AGI is gross income minus federal deductions, any kind of state based AGI would actually be higher wouldn't it?

Writing calls and puts is pretty much theta gang. You need a bit of capital and a good knowledge of options.
How did you write that call option for AMC to expect it to be less than $87.20 by Friday? I want to try something like that some time soon.


When purchasing a call, you can choose to "buy to open" which is what most people do. They pay a premium to open the contract.

You can also "sell to open". When you sell to open, you're writing those calls that people are "buying to open". So they're paying you that premium. So you get that premium.

If the call expires worthless you keep that premium and you're done.

If it goes past the price and they execute the contract, then they pay you 100*strike price for your 100 shares. So even if amc is at $90 a share, they'll only pay me 80*100.

Only write calls if you have the actual 100 shares. This is called a covered call.

Don't write a naked call! One where you don't have the actual shares as collateral.

Imagine you wrote a $30 call. Then amc jumped up $60.
Well now you gotta buy and give someone 100 shares, but they'll only pay you $3k. So you gotta buy it at market price. As opposed to you already having the shares you bought at let's say $10, and that's what you're giving up

I get that. But the effective tax rate ends up being just as much as the marginal if not more if you include state income taxes.


But, that's always true. 80k-86k would have state income taxes. 86k-90k would also have state income taxes.

unless your state and local taxes are causing the issue, it is absolutely not true. Federal taxes on income dont get high enough to create a plateau.

You didn't understand what I was saying. Its not that the money plateaus, the cost/benefit of working that much plateaus. Do you guys even read?


I guess I don't think taxes would really make the difference in that. The cost benefit of working 80 hours instead of 40 hours is overly due to the leisure time you lose. Would you really be fine working long long hours just because your tax increase by a few points?

Like, I get what you're saying, but I don't think taxes are really the issue.

In fact, I bet you're making the common error of working over time and seeing how much is withheld from your checks. And assuming that you're being taxed more for for overtime pay, than for regular pay.

When the issue is overtime pay is just withheld differently, but it all evens out when you file your taxes

I think it hurts productivity tbh. I was just looking up a job offer for x1 salary and I put it into a calculator to see my take-home which is z1. Now if I work extra, or just be more productive in my given time, I can make x2 amount of money which is a significant amount greater than x1, but my new take-home z2 is barely higher than z1. If you factor in things like time, rest, leisure, etc, its literally not even worth it to work more. Theres a certain point at which the cost/benefit plataeus, but that point comes relatively early IMO with higher taxes. I just don't like that.
