| IsambardPrince | "Pritzker poured $58 million into the 2020 campaign advocating for a change in the state constitution to allow for an income tax structure that would charge higher rates for higher levels of income. | Nov 02 04:45 |
| IsambardPrince | For nearly six decades, Illinoisβ had a flat income tax that charges one rate each for individuals and corporations regardless of income level. But Illinois voters ultimately rejected the proposal to change it, leaving the tax rate at 4.95% for individuals. It only received 46% support, far below the threshold needed to change the state constitution." | Nov 02 04:45 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The lofty goal eclipses OpenAI's $500 billion Stargate initiative. But like its rival, Meta can't actually afford the infrastructure project CEO Mark Zuckerberg has promised President Donald Trump. | Nov 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | For Meta to realize the $600 billion goal by the end of 2028, it would need to increase its capital expenditures nearly threefold from the $70-72 billion it expects to spend in 2025. | Nov 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Zuckercorp has already warned of "notably larger" spending in 2026, but the company earned "only" $62 billion in profit last year, up from $39 billion in 2023. So even if it used all of its near-liquid assets β as of Q3, Meta had about $44.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and other marketable securities β and plowed every dollar of profit into bit barns for the next few years, Meta would be hard pressed to pull this off." | Nov 02 05:08 |

| nobody | so i got another three years at most, until the next one is hitting, not knowing if this would pass financial department supervision | Nov 02 06:32 |
| nobody | and if financial department objects, i'm left alone with a hike i can't pay for | Nov 02 06:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Right now, landlords moved so fast and raised rent so high that they've hit a point where they are having trouble finding stable tenants | Nov 02 06:32 |
| IsambardPrince | And the cost of evicting someone can be $20,000 or more by the time you figure in lost rent and tenants stonewalling you and courts being backed up. | Nov 02 06:32 |
| nobody | yep, it's distinct issues, new real-estate constructed for tenants and existing ones | Nov 02 06:33 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't necessarily net more money raising the rent at a certain point. | Nov 02 06:33 |
| nobody | new real-estate inflates +100% and more (in Munich it's up to 25β¬/mΒ² COLD) | Nov 02 06:33 |

| nobody | corporate slumlords | Nov 02 06:34 |
| nobody | currently i am residing in NΓΌrnberg though, not Leipzig | Nov 02 06:35 |
| nobody | i do know however Leipzig reported rent hikes alike, and city real estate "sold" to "investors" (in New York and elswhere) | Nov 02 06:35 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I got my Extra Help with Prescriptions back. | Nov 02 06:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I noticed an odd thing. | Nov 02 06:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They said my premium would still be $5.30 when that should comfortably be paid for by the Extra Help, so I researched this. | Nov 02 06:36 |
| IsambardPrince | It turns out that due to wonky regulations, that $5.30 couldn't be legally paid by Extra Help because the plan is considered an "enhanced benefits plan" not a "benchmark plan". | Nov 02 06:36 |
| IsambardPrince | So I switched to a benchmark plan with a higher premium, and the government will be paying for all of it. | Nov 02 06:36 |
| IsambardPrince | The formulary on this one is different. I suppose there's a logic to this though. | Nov 02 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | The really expensive drug that I take moves from Tier 4 to Tier 3 on the new plan. | Nov 02 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Meaning cost sharing goes down from 50% to 15%. | Nov 02 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | So Medicare costs themselves more money on premiums, but saves money on the actual prescriptions. | Nov 02 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Medicare Part D gets money from the government and money from premiums. | Nov 02 06:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The premiums are all over the place. | Nov 02 06:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Without the subsidy, the cheapest 2027 plan I saw was $5.30 a month on the beneficiary's side and the most expensive was over $230. | Nov 02 06:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Mind you this is just prescriptions. | Nov 02 06:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Not hospital or outpatient. | Nov 02 06:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | what drugs? | Nov 02 06:39 |
| IsambardPrince | I know it was only $5.30, but if I can get out of it just switching to a plan with the same benefits, why pay it? | Nov 02 06:39 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Oh God, there's a list. | Nov 02 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Including one that Medicare is banned by law from covering. | Nov 02 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | So I have to use a prescription drug coupon for that. | Nov 02 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], The one that's really outrageous, even as a generic, is Depakote ER. | Nov 02 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | For 270 of them, generic, which is for three months, I would pay over $350 with Wellcare Value Script Part D with no extra help. | Nov 02 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Or $52 with a GoodRX coupon and not even using the Part D at all. | Nov 02 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Or about $90 with the Wellcare Classic Part D and no extra help. | Nov 02 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Or $5.80 with Extra Help. | Nov 02 06:43 |

| IsambardPrince | Most states have banned paddling, because physical punishment backfires. It backfires. They know it backfires but right-wing states like Indiana still make it legal to this day. | Nov 02 18:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Studies have consistently shown that physical punishment doesn't make people respect rules, it makes them despise authority figures. It makes them more likely to be arrested later in life, or be diagnosed with a mental illness. | Nov 02 18:38 |
| IsambardPrince | About the only thing it does other than make people despise authority figures is, it makes them go "I need to be better at avoiding detection. I can't be so blatant." | Nov 02 18:39 |

| IsambardPrince | Nov 02 20:33 | |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody in leadership seems to care. The message is "Sure the current interest rates will add another $300,000 of Added Pain and Regret bringing just the mortgage to over $600,000 plus property tax, all your utilities, full homeowner's insurance, and a repair set aside of $6,000 every year (which is almost 8 months rent on an apartment in that same town all by itself), but you'll have it just in time for the nursing home.

| IsambardPrince | In the Downfall scene (excellent movie, btw...), the rage isn't just that Hitler is losing; it's that he genuinely believed the rules of reality didn't apply to him, and that other people existed solely to execute his directives. | Nov 02 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Nov 02 20:34 | |
| IsambardPrince | He spends a good chunk of the movie with Russian shells landing on top of the Reich Chancellory building upstairs from the bunker and the once-feared Wehrmacht being reduced to the Volkssturm and Hitler Youth brigades that got a few minutes of training on surplus WWI rifles and copycat sten guns and Panzerfaust grenades, yet believing that Steiner's army unit that doesn't exist anymore will turn the tide of the war. | Nov 02 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Nov 02 20:34 | |
| IsambardPrince | When a parent spends decades spending recklessly, treating retirement like a secondary checking account, and assuming their children will simply absorb the financial consequences later, they are operating under that same grand delusion.
