    Why not all aviation fuel being taxed at the same increased amount?
  2. JoeWeber
    Maybe. Perhaps they could lower fuel taxes on flight schools or other essential to the pipeline of airline pilots fronts like DZ's. Once you get past the idea that there is a free market and that it's harmful to take more from the morbidly rich and then take less from those who are just getting by suddenly a whole new world of seeing things opens up.

    Because rewriting the the tax code to get them to pay more on their earnings will never happen and a luxury Jet Fuel tax should be low hanging fruit in a sane world. People won't quit being rich over it, so I say have at it. Seriously, Bernard Arnault is the worlds richest man and he got there selling useless, overpriced crap to rich people. Kudo's to him and to celebrate he can start paying a crapload more for his Jet-A. Next up: all of the super rich assholes who flag their multi hundred million dollar yachts offshore to avoid US taxes. Well, screw them, too.

    And an even larger share of Republicans think greedy free market capitalism dominated by pseudo monopolies that aren’t restrained from raising prices or putting fewer chips in the bag has zero to do with inflation.
  5. JoeWeber
    Seriously.
  6. JoeWeber
    Yes, but I did mean liquidity. Stocks, bonds, etc that are liquid but inconvenient or expensive to sell.

    Noted it is, talk about scoring someone with impeccable credentials.

    I found one in our swoop pond when I finally had enough and drained it. Couldn't know for sure whose it was, given that GoPros were lost regularly before clamp downs happened, but with editing software I was able to determine the owner whom I contacted to come to the DZ and retrieve it. What they didn't enjoy was watching the footage of an insane low turn that they only survived because a hero pulled them unconscious from the water before they drowned.

    My Euro denominated investments serve a purpose. I actually don't have any real understanding of the relationships. But I do have them and they are underperforming the Biden economy without question.

    Hmmm.. Where did you get that MBA? Liberty University? It is an article of understanding in business that you might need to allow your debt to outpace income as you gain share and presence in the market. In our case, it's a global market. In my case, because the US economy is roaring, my dollar denominated investments are doing well, my euro investments are doing poorly. Go figure.

    Sure, but don't most of those have enough unencumbered liquidity to make the loan easy? I'm thinking that Trump Tower isn't a juicy cross collateralization asset, nor any of his other properties.
  12. JoeWeber
    Should being the operative word, Alice.
  13. JoeWeber
    Clearly I need to gun out more.
  14. JoeWeber
    Been there at a seriously lower level and not only is it easy the rates are great. Even if he has $400 Million that could easily be the floor of what his current lenders require for liquidity. There is still a week to go, that his lawyers have been begging for lower amounts or just an IOU for three weeks tells it all: he is broke.
  15. JoeWeber
    As any MBA can tell you, any two coinciding events, at any point in time, is invariably predictive of the future.

    And eyewitness reports are notoriously unreliable. I live on the water most of the year and travel the world regularly. The times they are a changin', and so are world weather patterns. Things invariably occur at speeds to slow or too fast for most folks to recognize or, owing to our short life spans, to care about. I'm not emotional about it, as I've posted here many times, I don't think there is hope owing to our true natures.
  17. JoeWeber
    No thanks. I'll instead rely on my critical reasoning faculties.
  18. JoeWeber
    Some folks are just a bit more a product of their environment that others, I guess. If you live on top of the Marcellus Shale formation you think fracking and oil production is unbeatable. Even the Mifflin County Amish are in on it, buggying all the way to the bank with their signing bonuses.

    And the first car tailpipes released a whole lot more particle pollution than horse tailpipes. But we hung in there and things got better.
  20. JoeWeber
    Tay Tay? I thought we were Swifties or Boaties or Swift Boaters or something. What did I miss?
  21. JoeWeber
    And the hits just keep on coming. SDNY suddenly releases 31000 pages, recordings and notes two weeks before trial forcing Bragg to grant a 30 day delay, Trump requested 90, for the defense to review the information. Damn, they are good at what they do, no doubt.

    richravizza has long since lost his novelty even in an open house. Mod's, please stop responding to him as if he's a _____________________

    Okay, McRaven was the head of the Seals when Bin Laden was taken out. Good. Eve Longoria was on a housewives show? That's worth $50 Million each for whatever good works they can imagine? And how ever did Bezos's girlfriend get her job? The morbidly rich need to be seriously taxed.
  24. JoeWeber
    I think she was chosen because she was "Women of Color". Then House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina wanted Biden to choose a black female so he did for the political benefits. I see zero wrong with that Biden decision. What is wrong is that there are folks who because of that political reality, or not, cannot get their heads wrapped around the fact that she has accomplishments in leadership positions and would likely do no less of a half assed job than any white man. Beyond that, and most importantly, is that the alternative is Trump and anyone not seeing that as a worse outcome has some serious cognitive disabilities.

    Sorry for the delayed reply but I'm still getting caught up after a trip. I chose to have a femoral rod removed for the marrow regeneration and immune system benefits. It's really a no big deal surgery if you aren't too delicate.
