Nowadays, people don't seem to even understand the definition of a fact...

They tax you on the difference of what you paid to Oregon ($0) and what you would pay to California (~10%, or $200k for the example).

He pays more than AMT. AMT caps at 28%, but he'll pay at 35%. The crossover point is somewhere around $400k.

You pay state sales tax based upon where you garage or hangar your vehicle. When you buy a $2M aircraft and hangar it in California, the state sends you a bill.
Of course, you can hangar it in a tax friendly state like Oregon, but then the aircraft isn't nearby.

Let's say you save 200w for 6 hours per day by using a more efficient lightbulb. That's 1.2 kw hr per day, or roughly 4mJ.
Given that a gallon of gas weighs about 3 kg and therefore has about 120mJ of heating value, this saves the equivalent of about 4 oz of gasoline per day assuming 50% efficiency. Is legislation for is really warranted?
If they would fix the awful public transit in the SF bay area, we'd be saving something significant instead. Or if we had diesel cars, or stopped drinking bottled tap water.

Foxconn is Taiwanese.

There is no substitute for ForeFlight on an iPad. I'm not carrying a laptop in the cockpit to view charts, and it saves me hundreds of dollars a year compared to paper charts. You go fly a plane with a smart phone and a netbook in your lap and tell me that it's better.

Another FUD article. Apple doesn't restrict open source apps from their app store.

For example:

Many of which electric cars fail at too. They are poor at top speed (lower continuous peak power, typically limited by battery discharge rates and thermals) and cornering ability (heavy - look at a Tesla vs. Elise). They're way more costly, because batteries are expensive. And they're not going to get cheap, because lithium ion batteries already have economies of scale. EVs have great off the line acceleration and are quiet, but that's about all that's going for them.

A Tesla costs more than twice as much as the Elise on which it's based without the performance. Why is it the shit?

So you're equating wealth itself with crime. If that's not class warfare. I don't know what is.
N.b., there is always someone who has less than you who wants what you have. Be careful what you wish for.

Evil bankers won't buy me a house. Boo hoo.

That just drives the cost of goods up, since they charge merchants the 1-2%. On large dollar items, sometimes you can negotiate a cash discount.

The problem is that wealth redistribution requires at least some level of thuggish behavior. It might not be apparent in a large scale, where the IRS and threat of prison do the dirty work, but would quickly become apparent in a small scale, such as a town of 100. What if, in that town, 99 people went to a guy with an order of magnitude more money and said "give me your money, or we'll throw you in the jail"?

What about the people who borrowed from their banks, bought houses, rode their value up to 5x their real value. Cashed the equity out to buy cars, vacations, luxury goods, etc., and then let the houses go into foreclosure?
Same thing.
