Before you answer, I'm not sure you are in the safer of the two testaments in this regard.

I think most if not all municipalities and cities have an income tax in KY. Like in this case I'm talking about Covington of CovCath maga kid fame. My wife was on the road for many years working for the same company with a theoretical desk in the offices that are in the larger municipality centered ...

We see disputes on earned vs lived area taxation all the time in my industry. It's constant squabbles about who is entitled to the income of someone who lives in NJ but works in the city but then moves to Florida to quasi retire but only snow birds.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Do you have municipal income tax?

Yes. 2.5% in the city in question. NYC it's like 3.5 or something I think.

Have found a drink I'm really happy with: 4 oz cold brew rooibos chai 2 oz unsweetened cranberry juice 1 oz caramel syrup or golden syrup Shake with two ice cubes, strain into glass. It comes out super smooth and really nicely balanced. (Though one of the weird things about getting a perfectly bala...

My role is basically being asked what we want to do. Our management structure will basically be doing what most people decide. There's talk of a hybrid approach but my sense is the real estate costs simply won't justify one day a week at the office or whatever. Now, I don't have kids driving me craz...

There’s an underlying premise in our current tax system that urban centers entail a large positive externality to labor performed within their boundaries. Amenities, spillover from network effects like “Wall Street” and so forth. If we unwind that premise, life under Covid showing little actual decr...

Need a better title. Musings on what long run effects if any we may see on urban environments post covid. So I work in most years on a campus for an employer that is by far the largest source of tax revenue for the city in which that campus nominally resides. Let’s call it 4,500 employees at good wa...

For clarity - athleisure is pajamas in this model.

We can probably safely close (clothes?) this thread down. The battle is over, pajamas won. I've been converted. It was already going anyway but COVID killed more fashion sense than people by a mile.

I don't think belief in any proposition is related very much to sincere thoughts that the proposition is true. Not for a great majority of people. It's more like belief in a proposition is an organizing principle for groups of people who can reliably identify the Bad Guys Over There. We call that co...

The only real mistake is insufficient cynicism.

“When I say ‘experts’ in air quotes, it sounds like I’m saying I don’t really trust the experts,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said of pandemic policies. “Because I don’t.”

Also would suggest a $75k cutoff is stupid high for "relief". Which it was. As is demonstrated by the desperate need to buy garbage stocks. Not financial advice.

It isn’t really stimulus. We don’t need stimulus. On the low end it’s anti poverty which is good and anything above like household 40k is pandering.

That I'm not sure about but man I've seen the arguments surrounding fiduciary duty. It may be as you say fully exempted somehow but what I can tell you is groups of lawyers and I can give you the names of firms will spend all day every day for the rest of their lives trying to attach dollar value of...

Sequoia Holdings says employees can draw part of salary in cryptocurrencies Software development services provider Sequoia Holdings LLC said on Thursday its employees can now receive a part of their salary in cryptocurrencies, should they choose to. Under the new program, employees can elect to def...

Wait I'm not Sicilian?

baaa!

If this anecdote is accurate then I have no clue how America recovers. My colleague told me that efforts to overturn the election were wrong, and that voting to certify was a constitutional duty. But my colleague feared for family members, and the danger the vote would put them in. Profoundly shake...

I honestly really and for true think the cost side in the key areas of healthcare and geographically variable cost of living are the 2 most significant features of low income suffering. The general price level is not high. Incomes are rising, low skill slower than most but still. Savings is kind of ...

I mean the condition in recent history is very few people relocating - downward trend for decades. What you see in 2020 is lots of well off people relocating out of large cities. I'm not sure as the numbers aren't in how many people in middle class and down have relocated but judging by rents is som...

General Mastodon has been a transport staple for millennia!

I do feel like some peeps are driving particularly hard at the idea that the summer was NBD, and I don't think that's a reasonable take. It's somewhat connected to the other thing people are doing which is acting like police in large part were super aggressive in responses to the non events of the s...

Nobody like their gallows humor.

Things that make me tired in the never ending cycle of equivalence/false equivalence and in the related space of whataboutisms. - We forget to talk about the thing itself. If somebody built cages and used them X amount to deter immigration and somebody else used the cages 2X to deter immigration, th...
