This is nonsense. The tax-free allowance is massive and they're only required to pay tax on all the free money, nothing they actually earned.
If there was 100% capital gains tax on all domestic property, we wouldn't have all that free money pushing up the cost of housing for everyone.
Most homeowners don’t have to pay capital gains on their home when they sell. Thanks to tax legislation from the ’90s, a gain of up to $250,000 for a single tax filer or $500,000 for a couple filing jointly is exempt from tax. That’s providing the sale is of the homeowner’s primary residence and that they meet other requirements such as living in the property for two of the past five years.
They can be in the right context but not when they're comparing interventions which cannot be blinded. And where one of the interventions changes something else (in this case, the amount of other foods you eat if you have to eat two kiwi fruit instead of just popping a pill).
If you live somewhere where the 2 day shipping actually gets to you in 2 days
That's not really true if you need a specific thing, or choice of thing, and not just a generic version of thing. And ...
Often you can get products right from the website of actual brands for the same price. You might not get 2 day shipping, but that’s almost never necessary. If you live somewhere where the 2 day shipping actually
... often you spend a hours finding an item somewhere else and when you go to checkout, they redirect you to their Amazon store.
I fully support efforts to boycott Amazon. But, sad to say, sometimes it's not really feasible.
Conversion is a long process, made considerably easier since Israel came into existence but still not overnight. So no, not tomorrow. But yes, you could probably do it if you were determined enough, or had the right help: How 90 Peruvians became the latest Jewish settlers
Irrational numbers can be rounded to whatever degree of accuracy you demand (or your measuring instrument allows). They're not infinite, it just requires an infinite number of decimal places to write down the exact number. They're known to be within two definite values, one rounded down and one rounded up at however many decimal places you calculate.
No, they don't have to be rational. It's counter-intuitive but you can accurately draw a line with an irrational length, even though you can't ever finish writing that length down.
The simplest example is a right-angled triangle with two side equal to 1. The hypotenuse is of length root 2, also an irrational number but you can still draw it.
I have no idea why people are trying to pretend it's not worrying the owners of these buildings when the owners of these buildings are throwing hissy fits all over the shop.
Yes, obviously. Is the number of employers who no longer need the office space larger or smaller than the number of employers who need more office space?
They're going to make a loss. They do not want to make a loss. No amount of imaginary buyers is going to stop them having to take a loss.
Which is why I said "dangerously close". Office buildings which are empty because they're not needed as offices any more can be sold to developers who will turn them into housing or shops. But with fewer employers based there, demand for housing and shops may also disappear.
So, centrists are very fond of a thing called 'horseshoe theory' which posits that as the left gets further left it ends up meeting the far right.
Fish hook theory is a riposte.

For the right price, yeah. You'll be able to sell coastal properties for the right price too. Just nowhere near as much as you paid for them. They're not interested in getting only some of it back.
It's a very funny video with a clip of Ben Shapiro saying that the coast going underwater doesn't matter because people can just sell up and move. And hbomberguy asks who he thinks they're going to sell to, Aquaman?
It's free money.
