    Toyota moving to Texas

    Several physicians in training have recently told me that Texas is now not on their match list, due to the repressive political environment. I wonder if the South is going to become a medically underserved area?

    Observations from the front lines of the Irvine housing market?

    Why so nasty, TestingIrvine? It is hard to see how a 50% appreciation of house prices over two years is sustainable. Its even a bit of a stretch to see how 2019 prices are sustainable, but I suppose with WFH for the silly valley set, it may be.

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    This is only true if you charge your batteries for free, like at your office.  Otherwise, you need it account for the electricity costs (whether via company or amortizing your rooftop solar).

    Pfizer CEO Says Fourth Covid Vaccine Dose "Necessary"

    That said, if I was advising an older or immune compromised person, I would suggest that a 20-30% reduced risk of infection might be significant for their prognosis/survival.

    coronavirus

    Isn't this in line with expectations?  95% of deaths are in old people, who are highly vaccinated, but most of these deaths are due to cancer/coronary/etc, not covid. So you are just saying "old people die"...what a surprise "Fully Vaccinated now account for 9 in every 10 Covid-19 Deaths in...

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    half of buyers have incomes less than $140k?  (and I personally wouldn't call $140k household income Beemer class... * The average household income for EV buyers is about $140,000.

    I-Bonds...a great place for idle cash

    They are only an inflation hedge right now, since they have no base rate. I wonder if they will return to having a base rate, like the old days, if the FED increase the prime rate?

    Asbestos in old homes

    Isn't it the opposite?  many 50s-70s houses have aluminum wiring, which is subject to oxidation, and might need to be replaced with copper? I've never heard about anyone replacing copper, unless it was super old with bad insulation or knob-and-tube. Thanks for any clarification!

    Breaking a lease

    If you don't have a legal justification to break your lease, the good news is that you might still be off the hook for paying all the rent due for the remaining lease term. This is because under California law (Cal. Civ. Code ? 1951.2), your landlord must make reasonable efforts to re-rent your...

    Breaking a lease

    Don't landlords have an affirmative obligation to mitigate any losses by renting as soon as a replacement tenant can be moved in? I think in the current rental market that any tenant lawyer could get any loss of more than one month tossed by a judge in a quick second.

    Trial

    Efficacy against *infection* appears to wane for omicron (not delta), but protection against serious disease/ICU/death apparently is holding up well.

    coronavirus

    I can't believe that I'm partially agreeing with the purple poster...at least about letting them cull themselves. The problem is that they still want to use up the hospital resources once they are ill, jeopardizing the rest of us if we happen to get in a car accident or have a health...
