Unquestionably they lead to fuel switching, that's the entire point to price carbon. So for sure, if you're pushing it for ideological reasons only and don't grasp the economics behind it you certainly run the risk that the fuel switched to is worse if there aren't any options there. I saw an...

It's an interesting question you bring up. One important additional item to add to things to think about is that futures curves in a somewhat storable commodity like oil don't necessarily entirely reflect the consensus future price for that commodity since if the futures get too out of whack...

What about the kid who by accident of birth is born to dirt poor parents. All the same at the end of the day as far as impact to the kid.

You can leave IB like all of us have been advising for years here for exactly this reason!

Authoritarian government retreating from democracy and restricting the media along resurgent anti-semitism. What's not to like about Poland, at least for the MAGA crowd.

You're right that B is a problem, but not necessarily always a problem. Reading through this thread it's apparent that there are 2 groups talking past each other a bit. Group 1 is rightly cautious of data mining, which is what you're describing. As a result, they feel that using testing to find...

Since we make up a miniscule percentage of the population and a rather unsympathetic part at that, we're going to need to come up with a more compelling reason than that!

For sure I'd never pay estimated taxes beyond what I'd actually earned up to that point in the year.

And then the news would be 24 hours of atrocities and horrible shit going on and they'd still miss some group being wronged. Like I said, world peace and world hunger are synonymous with intractable problems. Been problems since the beginning of time. Lot's of us care a lot and are doing what we...

I would have to go back to look up the details, but basically there's a way you can account for all your money coming in during Q4. Maybe search for inheritances or something because I think that's what it is kind of designed for. Keep in mind that you would have to actually be in that...

Maybe read the instructions on the form 1040-ES you linked to? "If, after March 31, 2020, you have a large change in income, deductions, additional taxes, or credits that requires you to start making estimated tax payments, you should figure the amount of your estimated tax payments by using...

There are all kinds of horrible things going on in war zones all around the world, plenty of atrocities of that type even in Nigeria not involving anything more than evil in its many forms. Turns out world peace is really damn hard, so hard that it's used as a metaphor for any intractable...

I could have sworn Republicans were for state's rights? Isn't he a federal legislator and this is a state pension fund that he has absolutely no jurisdiction over? Who the fuck cares what he thinks any more than any other citizen of the state, tell him to take it up with his state legislator...

The IRS are the ones who publish the safe harbor guidance, take a look at the last paragraph. - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/the-basics-of-estimated-taxes-for-individuals

That's a little bit like saying that someone who just filed for personal bankruptcy 2 years ago is a good credit risk because they're starting at such a low point and don't have much debt!

Hey if you enjoy it then absolutely you should do it. Like I said, I spent an hour working on my car with my son last weekend because it was enjoyable. And if you want to take a break for 30 minutes to go get a smoothie, by all means take a break and go get your own smoothie. Just don't try to...

Daddy made $50,000 a year in his highest paid year, mom was a homemaker. Both were "cheap as fuck", luckily I was able to get into a service academy because they couldn't have paid a dime for college. That's one reason they stayed lower middle class, they valued their own time so little. There...

I run my own business. Every extra hour I devote to that is an hour I make a hell of a lot more than $35. But I could be a construction worker or a factory employee who could volunteer for overtime, same difference. And yes, I absolutely pay someone else to clean my house, I take my car through...

If it takes you 10 minutes each way to drive to the smoothie place, plus an additional 10 minutes of getting ready and out of the house, waiting in line... then you spent 30 minutes of your time. I don't know about you, but I earn way more than $35.74 an hour. So not spending $17.87 to avoid...

In their defense they may go from a Fed hearing at 10 to a hearing on the Palestinian peace plan at 2 to a hearing on offshore oil safety at 5. Even the range of subjects on a given committee are far beyond the level that you or I could ask intelligent questions on all of subjects. So they hire...
