People should be much more upset about their work only offering them a 2% raise per year and acting like it’s a big deal Just to keep up with the increase in the cost of living, you would need at a minimum a 4.2% each year in a national...

Repealing Act 10 would cost taxpayers over $2 billion every year, and Mandela Barnes thinks you should just deal with it. He said if it costs “a billion to $2 billion per year, we have paid so much more in terms of consequence.” Higher taxes are always the Democrats’ answer.

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country. We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

Qullamaggie on Minimum Account Size to Make A Living Off Trading vs. Trading While Working “What do you recommend as a minimum workable account size for your swing strategy? If you want to make a living, probably 500k at least. Or 300k. If you’re only gonna swing trade. But if you work full or part time, and trade part time, and you don’t need to take out money from your trading accounts, you could do it with 10k. If you double your 10k every year, after taxes, you’ll have 20k the next year and 40k the year after, 80k 160k 320k. Even with a small 10k account you’re gonna have millions after 6, 7 years. Once you get profitable. Assuming you don’t put more money in it. But if you’re gonna live off of it, you probably need at least 300-500k. Because with my strategy you’re gonna go sideways - your equity gonna go sideways for months and months at a time every year. The markets we are in right now, it’s a rare market that doesn’t happen most of the time. Right now, it’s almost too easy; everything just keeps going straight up. It’s the best time for my swing trading strategy, but most of the time, it can be a struggle.”

I was proud to sign the legislation we brought forward today for the first above‑inflation uplift in over a decade to the Minimum Income Guarantee. This will support around 150,000 working‑age adults with the cost of living, helping them keep at least £400 more each year.

Anti-luddite Joe Lonsdale: “You need to destroy some jobs for the country to do better.” “You want infinite jobs? Ban farm tools. We’d all be poor and everything would be more expensive.” “The only way we get wealthier is doing more with less.” “It’s ironic we have this luddite fear— it’s the only way we solve our national debt crisis. It’s the only way the working and middle class can more easily afford healthcare, cost of living, nice homes.” “A lot of young people now, especially in cities, can’t afford the cost of living at all, they can’t afford to have kids. It’s a mess.”

Companies are going way too far to try and sell you products Just to buy 2 new windows, a company came out and said you have to - Do a 3 window minimum even through you only need 2 - Sit through a 90 minute presentation on the history of the company, the founder, their story - A presentation on windows, how windows work and why their windows are different - A pitch on the state of the economy and inflation - A horrible negotiation experience on the cost of the actual windows This is actually happening at a lot of places. A similar experience of mine was I literally went to get an oil change at Mountain View tires and they wanted me to come out to the car and go over a full vehicle diagnostic that they would first need to take over an hour doing. They said it was policy It’s all to upsell you. Even places like valvoline make you do a full vehicle inspection now so they can go over it with you and upsell you on repairs

Politicians are making some pretty bold claims about the cuts they will make in Wales to save money. The problem is, their maths doesn’t add up. Here are 3 things that, even if you cut them, will make very little difference to the amount of cash Wales has: --- The Nation of Sanctuary. A scheme to help (mainly Ukrainian refugees) contribute to Welsh society. Cost = £10m/year = 0.037% of the Welsh budget. --- The planting in Uganda. A scheme that offsets 25% of Wales’ transport emissions (not bad for the cost of one 3-bed house). Cost = £270k/year = 0.001% of budget. --- Scrap 20mph. This would actually COST £40m in changing the signs back. It also would cost the taxpayer more through increased casualties and higher insurance (about £90m a year). It is fine to want to scrap any of these policies if you think the money can be better spent elsewhere. But politicians need to stop pretending it will make any meaningful difference to the ability of the Welsh Government to deliver public services. They are rounding errors on a spreadsheet.

The cost of living has Americans losing it over how much we are forced to pay for things we already own Once you buy a car then you have to insure the car, then you have to pay to register the car every year, then you have to pay for Smogs and more I added all this up - Registration, License, Taxes & Fees averages $813 per year nationally (up to $1,000+ in CA) - Maintenance, Repairs & Tires roughly 800–$1,400 - Insurance is $1,694–$1,715 per year nationally, this is much higher in California - Fuel, Gas or Electricity is roughly $1,950 per year nationally The national average to one a new car in America is about $11,577 per year. This is on top of owning the car with interest fees This is ridiculous

It’s not crazy, it’s like you said it don’t meet the eye test but it’s actually the honest to God truth. You take Rudy Gobert off any one of them teams he’s been on that made the playoffs year after year, after year. His ability to stay healthy people don’t talk about that. How are you the best defensive player but you’re not available.” (Via ToTheBaha)

.Illinois Tollway wants to hike your tolls by 57%, and automatically raise them every two years after that. Is a $26.5 billion infrastructure overhaul necessary when the tollway board is already sitting on a $1.3 billion surplus? A few facts up front: >The 15-year plan would raise passenger tolls by ~45¢ per toll (57% overall), costing average commuters over $225 extra per year. >Commercial trucks are facing a 30% toll increase, which would add to the cost of consumer goods across Illinois. >The tollway is currently in its second year of a fully funded 7-year capital plan ("Bridging the Future"). >It is already taking in $1.3 billion more in revenue than it costs to maintain the roads. Our team joined WTTW - Chicago PBS's "Chicago Tonight" to break down the numbers and explain why lawmakers should reject this plan.

Elon Musk: Why a 1 Terawatt AI is impossible on Earth?? "My estimate is that the cost-effectiveness of AI in space will be overwhelmingly better than AI on the ground. So, long before you exhaust potential energy sources on Earth, meaning perhaps in the four or five-year timeframe, the lowest cost way to do AI compute will be with solar-powered AI satellites. I'd say not more than five years from now Just look at the supercomputers we're building together. Let's say each rack is two tons; out of that two tons, 1.95 of it is probably for cooling. Just imagine how tiny that little supercomputer is Electricity generation is already becoming a challenge. If you start doing any kind of scaling for both electricity generation and cooling, you realize space is incredibly compelling Let's say you wanted to do 200 or 300 gigawatts per year of AI compute. It's very difficult to do that on Earth. The US average electricity usage, last time I checked, was around 460 gigawatts per year. So, if you're doing 300 gigawatts a year, that would be like two-thirds of US electricity production per year. There's no way you're building power plants at that level And then if you take it up to a Terawatt per year, impossible. You have to do that in space In space, you've got continuous solar. You don't need batteries because it's always sunny. The solar panels actually become cheaper because you don't need glass or framing, and the cooling is just radiative"
