Wow. 70% as of 2022.

We don’t need tax credits.

We need Private equity out of the housing market.

We need better safeguards for tenants.

Financial moves like tax credits and incentives always end up benefitting the haves.

I manage a service engineering team for semiconductor equipment.

I did this right out of college. I’m not sure if it was the LNAPL measurements or the asbestos abatements but I really needed to get out of that industry.

Yeah. I don’t think banks will give a shit as long as the properties are insured. The banks worry is probably shifted to making sure that the insurer has enough capital not to go under in the event of a single catastrophic event where the insurer goes bankrupt.

Can you elaborate what your point is?

Data is 6 months old but total profit at the time for TTM was $350B across all ten top oil companies.

Chatgpt high level summary:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce received an $800,000 donation from billionaire Hank Meijer shortly after endorsing his son, Peter Meijer, in a 2022 primary. This donation and subsequent ad spending for Peter Meijer have highlighted the issue of “dark money” in U.S. elections, where the ultimate sources of funding are not disclosed. Although the Chamber followed legal requirements, the timing raised questions about the transparency and motivations behind such contributions. The article underscores the broader problem of undisclosed political donations and their impact on voter information and trust in the electoral process.

Also with taxes going to the government… There is a lot of corruption designed to bring those taxes back in the form subsidies, projects, funding etc. No guarantee taxes end up where they are needed.

Neither Trump or Biden will reduce the power of the federal government. Some departments may take a hit and others will get a boost but it won’t be reduced. Way too much money to be made be keeping the beast of corruption for the rich moving.

Trump who you are voting for by not voting for Biden, absolutely is a globalist… With just the shittier parts of the globe.

Wasn’t trump the president who moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? A move done to rally his base. Trump is absolutely pro israel and would love to see college kids shipped to a war zone so they can witness the atrocity of the war they are protesting…

Trump has actually… Proved he’s a foreign asset. Put in literally cannot wait for him to retake power so he can absolutely steamroll a legitimate democracy.

Fuck it wouldn’t shock me if Trump sold our military to the highest bidder.

Trump is absolutely an elitist… He has a fucking skyscraper with his name on it in downtown Chicago… What part of that screams… Salt of the Earth? What planet are you living on?

Unfortunately this would require empathy. Not to mention it may lose value for shareholders.

This hotel bar has way too many people at it.

Probably my favorite scene in any anime.

The US is providing funding for companies like TSMC and Intel to buld fabs in the US. The reality is that TSMC is having a very hard time hiring and deal with cultural gaps between Asian working mindset vs. American working mindset. There’s going to be some serious pain getting these fabs up and running.

I asked what I can do to protect my family from climate change.

To protect your family from the potential impacts of climate change, you can take several actions:Educate yourself and your family: Learn about the causes and effects of climate change, as well as the steps you can take to mitigate its impacts. Share this knowledge with your family members and encourage them to be more mindful of their environmental footprint.Reduce your carbon footprint: Make an effort to reduce your family’s greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, such as using LED light bulbs, turning off electronics when not in use, and driving less.Conserve resources: Encourage your family to conserve water, recycle, and reduce waste. These actions can help to reduce your family’s overall environmental impact.Support renewable energy: Consider installing solar panels or using other renewable energy sources in your home. Additionally, support policies and initiatives that promote the development and use of renewable energy.Get involved in your community: Join or support local organizations and initiatives that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This can help to create a broader movement for change and can also provide opportunities for your family to learn and take action together.Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest news and research on climate change and its impacts. This can help you and your family to make informed decisions and stay engaged in the issue.Remember, small actions can make a big difference, and by working together as a family, you can help to protect yourselves and future generations from the effects of climate change.

It gave a reasonable answer and didn’t discount it as a scam.
