Spirit Airlines will let you fly mask-free for a $2.50 upcharge. For $10 you can cough directly into your neighbor?s face.  >:D

Paul Krugman became a lightning rod for criticism because he openly shills for the Democratic establishment. This is something that a pure academic rarely does, especially rare for a Nobel prize winner. And to make it worse, he often goes outside the area of his expertise to make predictions...

Social media is definitely part of it, but does it account for the entirety of the polarizing shift? ( in this case straight down the Male / Female gender line) I also don't think social media alone is causing the change in role politics play in people's lives. For example, recent polling...

Recent polling numbers are interesting Men College + went from D +16 in 2018 to R +10 now, a total shift of R +26 Men no College went from R+8 in 2018 to R +20 now, a total shift of R +12 Women College + went from D+34 in 2018 to D +38 now, a total shift of D +4 Women no College went from...

Scandinavian Designs in Irvine has leather sofa at very good prices too

From what I've heard, they had windows tinted with reflective films. During daytime you couldn't even see inside the house from the outside. They still had regular crew servicing their yard. Maybe that's why no red flag were raised with the neighbors. Good insulation / construction quality led...

Both car handled the track really well. I would call it a very even match in terms of handling. Taycan just did not come close to Tesla Plaid on any linear acceleration. On turns, I noticed it much less. But coming out of turns, the Taycan has a very slight delay when pushed to accelerate. I...

Yes, it was the top trim GT.

Thanks! There was no EV6 unfortunately. And I never did get a response on why. Weird  ???

We got the track for the whole day so it was a lot of fun. Tesla model S plaid - just insane acceleration. I think the quarter mile time was just over 9 seconds. Unbelievable for a production car. Even the fastest Porsche Taycan Turbo S could not keep up. Taycan - drove the 4S not the Turbo...

Millennials hold 5.8% of all wealth. There are now 41-year-old Millennials. At the same age, Boomers had 21% of all wealth. Seems like legitimate gripe to me. As for the title of the "shiattiest generation" -  More female boomers live in poverty than female millennials. And over 40% of...

My timing was great or more accurately I was lucky. I invested most of my down payment into stocks and got in at almost the bottom. I think by the end of 2013, my initial investment already grew big enough that I could buy the house I wanted in 2009 with cash outright. We thought about buying...

My mentoring advice is derived partly from my personal experience. I was financially ready to buy in 2009, but waited until 2016. That decision benefited us financially and really forced me to learn how to invest. I talk about opportunity cost / job lock because it's personal experience too...

My model X can go about 350 miles, so it's getting pretty close to your need. But it does charge at a slower rate so might not work for you. I've heard from friends that Tesla supercharging stations can charge 800 - 1000 miles/hour on model 3 or model Y. Why not just rent a car for your 0.1%...

There are plenty of EVs in the 40-50k range now. Model 3, Mach-E, Kona, Ionic 5, ID4, EV6 etc And there's 10k incentive combined on most EVs (state tax rebate + federal tax credit) If you also factoring in the lower cost of ownership over 5/7 years, it's not that much more expensive than a...

I test drove the model S Plaid for the first time this past weekend and the acceleration is just insane. Also drove the Porsche Taycan 4S. It is very nice, but just completely got smoked by the Plaid. It was not even close. The Plaid was so insanely fast, it beat out the fastest Porcshe Taycan...

Of course you could, but we are not talking in absolutes here. You're less likely to. It's still more cumbersome than walking away from a rental. Still more financial flexibility because you could easily adjust by rent a cheaper unit, get a roommate etc. I chose to become a homeowner too...

Our electrical grid is graded D+ currently. Most of the transmission & distribution lines were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s with a 50-year life expectancy. The growth of EVs is actually forcing much needed upgrades in our energy infrastructure.

So having more freedom to make different lifestyle choices is viewed as suicidal by some ?  :o And on the financial side, there's more to consider than just cost of rent vs cost of owning. In my industry, switching jobs every few years is the fastest way to increase your salary, especially...

California?s size and geography inflate the ?fixed? costs of operating its electric system. It includes maintenance, generation, transmission, and distribution, and public programs like wildfire mitigation, CARE, and other programs driven by clean energy and electrification mandates as well as...
