Reminds me of how Yahoo had a valuation in the negative billions with their Alibaba holdings taken into account: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wall-street-says-yahoos-worth-l...

If you've been selling everything at every vest event, then wash sale rules don't apply - essentially the IRS doesn't want you to claim a loss when you haven't effectively closed a…

About 160 million people either actively voted for this or couldn't be bothered to vote so ostensibly think this is ok. This is what the vast majority wants.

The article mentions mutual interest could be a subtype of fun, but they wanted to make a distinction between when getting together is the goal and when there's another objective b…

A key thing to note is that rent control in SF isn't quite what most people think of. The apartment itself is not locked to a specific price (which is how NYC rent control works, f…

Think of an example such as you'd like a better public school system in your district. If you live in a rural county in Oklahoma of 20k people, you could likely get on the school b…
