IF the property is sold. In the meantime little or no tax is paid by the owner, and millions of people are priced out of the market. The owner however can borrow against the higher estimated value of their property and purchase more property to pull the same moves again. Wealth concentrates towards the rich, inequality increases.
I suspect a well equipped thief will spot wifi cameras and jam those frequencies but I have no data to back this up, probably safe unless you have the world's largest diamond on display. :)
I thought the central "lie" of negative gearing was that landlords could spend money improving their properties, claim the rent received on said property could never cover the cost of said improvements but in reality be accruing massive capital gains on said property - which will never be taxed until the sale of the property. In the meantime the money spent on these improvements can reduce the owner's income tax, potentially to zero, despite the owner accruing massive wealth (via increases in property value intrinsic to the market and extrinsic via the improvements made to said property) that will not be taxed. Am I missing something?
I've thought about it but I have a sneaking suspicion an insurer would reject/complicate a claim based on details of compliance of the ebike to local regulations.
Mine are hard sci fi, it's ruined me. Whenever social issues come up my natural response is to suggest solutions likely more applicable several centuries in the future. Climate change/major extinction event? Move humanity to orbital habitats and minimise surface visits to required scientific study or biosphere maintenance! Preserve the only known cradle of life (Earth) as the unique resource in the universe that it is. I honestly struggle to think in any other mode lol
Omg I think I might have been an unwitting extra in that movie. But it was 3 buses in a row so maybe it was the 3rd movie in the series. Maybe "3 Late 3 Stop"? 😊
I still refuse to watch Titanic or read Dan Brown novels just because I believe that heterogeneity in human meme exposure might be important. This is easily the weirdest belief I maintain but I'm sticking to it. 😉
And the little girl copying mum's expletives lol
