If only there was an agency in charge of monitoring stuff like this so it wouldn't spread. https://www.agri-pulse.com/art...
Wonder what the kool aid drinkers have to say about this?

Who are all these people now claiming that they use this pointless information?
Falling asleep watching Gutfeld on Fox News. By 6am tomorrow they will have new marching orders from dear leader about how he saved this monitoring system from the corrupt Biden administration.
Even more seriously though, California natives both more and less native than me (my father and I were both born here, before that the history gets Mexican, but that covered a lot of ground once) would be perfectly happy if the Hollywood and the tourism went away,
LOL everyone outside of LA hates LA. Dirt bag slutty water thieves.
That must be that risk that they keep explaining they take on board
That is investing in a company, not unrealized gain in general. When you start or invest in a company you are at risk due to flaws in the business plan, flaws in execution, changes in government policy, unanticipated/unpredictable events, etc.
i say the guy is only talking points and he responds with more talking points.
When two California's are discussing something local they don't need to document the obvious that they both already know.
Saying the California state gov't wastes a lot of money is like saying California coastal waters are cold. They are local knowns.
Taxing unrealized gains is problematic. We've reached the point where not taxing unrealized gains is also problematic.
There is another, and more important, area that is problematic. Spending. Unrealized games is just the politician's diversion from over spending.
To create those images I think they dig holes and pop dynamite. I don't think sitting in a bath tub with a bunch of low power emitters is going to cut it.
I was thinking more about receiving acoustic waves and interpreting them to create a 3D image, than generating them.
A relic of the medieval church's tithing practice that unfortunately got carried along to the new world from the old, analogous to the way that encephalitis mosquitos made it to our shores.
Personal realized income taxes are directly proportional to economic output and are the least distortive way to generate revenue.
You aren't a California taxpayer are you?
the median conservative right here folks.
No, California liberals will say the same thing, in private, among friends.
The "innovation" of China "being able to launch new models in 18 months" is f*ing embarrassing.
Not really, it's "innovation" is largely based on General Motors and other foreign research they got their hands on through partnerships that required technology transfers.
Not for them, but for all the stupid, blindingly obvious shit other auto manufacturers just weren't doing at all like "model it in a f*ing computer before going to all the trouble of building a prototype you tenth wits".
That is literally the sort of stuff they got from General Motors in recent history. Prior GM CEOs were careful not to share intellectual property, but the current CEO decided to share IP to get loans and other things that would keep the stock price up and the executive bonuses coming.
China has outsmarted American CEOs, not the American engineers. They think beyond this quarter's bonus.
Once you hit a billion dollars, the government sends you a silver dollar plaque and taxes all future wealth over 1bn at 50%. Once you hit 10 billion dollars, the government sends you a gold dollar plaque all future wealth over 10bn at 100%.
That won't work. Billionaires and their lawyers are way smarter than the legislators who will draft those laws. They will be worked around. A crude hypothetical: A CEO's $21 million salary could become $1 million and an annuity that pays $1 million a year for life. At these levels a CEO normally lasts 6 years. So rather than taxing $126 million you'll tax $27 million and the former CEO will retire to a tax free stated and collect $6 million a year from annuities. Again, just something unrealistic and crude to offer an understandable workaround. And for those of you question that someone would take a lower working salary in working years for generous retirement payouts. That historically has happened. Such tradeoffs have been made by labor unions for many decades. In reality CEOS and their attorneys will craft something way more complex, but the point is really the legislature will be worked around.
