I was trying to imagine a number for myself. If I received something like 25% of my projected lifetime earnings I would probably invest it and reduce my monthly savings to $0.

What's a ballpark on the percentage of lifetime income that would be life-changing? 25%?

I love California, it's incredible. They built a hundred miles of world class mass transit and then zoned all the station areas for parking lots and detached homes.

Trump routinely fucks up the sequencing of his shakedowns. He has no concept of thinking on the margin, so he repeatedly creates situations where the marginal cost of defecting is zero.

The last time a team came back from and 0-3 deficit to win a spot in the World Series: 2004. The Red Sox won four straight. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was on the Boston roster during the series. #nlcs www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2...

Cosmopolitanism is a foundational democratic value. All anti-cosmopolitan ideologies are just different flavors of volkism.

Americans rarely consider how broad European taxes are when advocating for their adoption over here. California's proposed wealth tax would impact a couple dozen households. A Norwegian wealth tax would be levied on a couple million households in California alone due to *much* lower thresholds.

This is a pretty great credit card sign up bonus if you're looking to finance a big expense. It's rare to see 0% promo APR *and* a healthy bonus with no annual fee. Nice option if you're about to buy a cargo bike.

Some really nice protected/separated bike lanes in Tampa, Florida.

Two way protected bike lane with cyclists on it. A sidewalk is to the right and car lanes to the right.

Green protected bike lane next to car lanes.

I'm glad to see Republicans eating shit, but the recent gas/diesel price spikes are strong evidence that my preferred regulatory regime for cars would result in a coup if ever implemented
