    Presidential Elections

    Biden and his handlers are stupid and arrogant - he could have issued a mea culpa for Hunter over the laptop during the debate and chastised him publicly for trading on the Biden name to generate an income and it literaly would have gone away. Now he's going to be impeached FOREVER (quoting...

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    My Newport-based RIA had his client dinner for SV clients up here this week and when talking about Chinese money in OC RE he provided an example of a friend in Newport Coast who had no desire to sell the home he had just finished building, all in for ~$15M excluding the lot which he bought in...

    ICE or EV?

    The incentives were helpful but people buy EVs because they want them. My first M3 base was mid 30s after the fed and state incentives. The 26% tax credit for solar and powerwall was much more of a factor in making that purchase especially given I paid zero out of pocket.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    In tech we typically use deferred comp programs to mitigate taxable income. The Fidelity plan at my longtime emplyer was great but the Merrill plan at a subsequent employer had garbage choices. Some companies restrict these to Director and up.

    Economy and Climate Change

    Does anyone listen to the All In podcast? The latest episode features Tucker, who brought up the 1920s Soviet expedition to map Siberia and encountering flash frozen wooly mammoths that were so well preserved they ate the meat. No current climate science has ever addressed the massive climate...

    USC baseball will be playing there for the next 2 years while Dedeaux Field is rebuilt - finally a benefit for those GP taxes.

    Presidential Elections

    You mean by cajoling social media platforms to censor speech and using the DOJ to prosecute his opposition? Where and how has Trumo acted like a dictator?

    Presidential Elections

    sigh...come on IHO; those who destroyed things and attacked police got what they deserve. But the failure of Capitol Police crowd control was the reason for the spectacle that unfolded, not Trumps' speech or exhortation to March Peacefully and Patriotically, and if you're being intellectually...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Plaid and 911 are close in price though useless options drive up the 911. I have an M3P which speed and handling-wise beats a 911, even on the track (track mode is so rad!) and for $60K - a stupid value that smart people have gravitated to. I've used this anecdote before - when I moved to SV in...

    Presidential Elections

    You must never have taken AP American Lit in high school or you'd be familiar with F. Scott Fitzgerald and his famous quote "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function". TDS is the definition...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    duh - it's the intentional usage of the 911, a car that used to be the natural choice when you got to the point in your life when you could afford a really cool car but now competes with multiple Tesla models

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Did anyone catch the livestream? He just took a bite out of Porsche's brand value by showing the CT beating a 911 while hauling a 911. 0-60 in 2.6! And a true 17' clearance with no differential hanging down means it's also the premier offroader, and dent resitant from ultra hard SS.

    Presidential Elections

    The one downside to Trump from a pocketbook perspective is higher taxes. He'll eliminate all SALT deductions to screw blue states and on his way out as a lame duck he'll sign legislation to eliminate the SS income cap and means test for SS/MC.

    LA Times: Post-affirmative action, Asian American families are more stressed than ever about college admissions

    One of the hottest girls I dated before meeting my wife was Flip. So hot. Short with waist length hair and a huge rack. Looked half but was full Pinoy. She was a Tri Delt.
