Put a percentage of every paycheck into an index fund (ex: VTI) and sit on them for a few years. You too will have capital gains.

Average returns on index funds are 6%-8%/yr, compounding. They are a solid long-term investment.

Tesla is not Musk, yes companies are taxed differently than individuals. Notably by profit, not income.

Musk paid $11b in capital gains tax when he sold, that is how capital gains taxes work for everyone. Same as you and me.

That's cute, coming from the country currently invading and attempting to annex huge swaths of Ukraine.

I read the tweet. He is either referring to the people who are no longer there as being gone, or he is referring to the software, which is still here, as being gone. It seems clear he is referring to the people who are no longer there as being gone.

Yep, that is how capital gains works for everyone, including you and me. You pay taxes on them when you sell, when you have income.

Try to set it so nobody owes anybody much. If you fall too short on withholding you can end up paying interest on the difference.

Not at all. Musk is well known for having paid over $11,000,000,000 in taxes in a single year.

Bringing in additional American military support now, getting American development dollars later, adding local Ukrainian jobs, all in exchange for additional Ukrainian tax revenues from mined minerals sounds like a win-win-win-win.

Dow....drop...450 points

That's 1%. Which means we are pretty much at a wash for the last week. Pretty minimal.

The article even mentions specifically the Dow Jones and S&P 500. Both of which are up this week by amounts that completely offset those future losses. I honestly have no clue what the article is talking about, it doesn't seem to conform with trivial-to-search reality. We are just where we were last week, a place that is massively up over any notable time period before.

They will also need a $500 deposit to ship you the chromebook, refundable after three months.

If you self host

It's always fun to host a private game with your friends and tell them to just go to myname.whatever rather than listing out a full IP.

To encourage more manufacturing in the US. Such will not be exposed to the tariffs.

Russia shouldn't worry about a US missile defense system. Assuming Russia isn't planning on shooting missiles at the US.

The title that the 'US economy slows in the fourth quarter' is flatly incorrect. I checked the archive of the article and OP's title is what the article's title used to be. Reuter's apparently doesn't know the meaning of words until after they publish articles.

Fourth-quarter GDP increases at 2.3% rate

That is still growth, and a fair bit at that. The growth slowing means there is still positive growth. Saying the 'US economy slows' means there is negative growth, which is demonstrably not the case, as per the data in the article.

Edit: Added info about the historical title of the article and removed an incorrect statement on my part that OP mis-titled the post (Reuter's mis-titled it, not OP).

Yeah, this is basically the least offensive thing possible that ensures the lights stay on.

When I switched away from gmail, I found it to overall be pretty straightforward. Whenever I would log into a service, I update the email. Any service I didn't log into clearly doesn't matter enough to me. My gmail is now a spam account for old shit I don't care about.

Direct link to Executive Order

Yeah, seems to be the carrot and stick approach. Biden provided the carrot a few years ago (subsidies for new US plants) and Trump is providing the stick (tariffs for offshore imports).
