  • At the end of the day the Democrats failed to make a compelling argument to enough people to win.

    Talking shit about people who wanted them to be different is pretty stupid. I see this all over here and it’s basically just doubling down on some of the attitudes and holier than thou bullshit that is what lost things for us here.

    FWIW I voted for them, while also wishing they were different, and being deeply upset with some of their positions. I’m not who you’re attacking, but you aren’t doing anyone any favors with that nonsense.





  • Because the way marginal taxation works if you make 300k you paid all those extra brackets tax hikes before you got to 300k and started seeing the lower marginal rate.

    So to see your impact you add every changed number from the left up to your income, that’s your impact.

    Yes it takes a positive turn at 300k, but you’re already deep in the whole and don’t turn to actually positive until around the final bracket.





  • I did something similar years ago with a house built in the 30s, but notably lived in it quite a while first which influenced my decision. In the years leading up to the moment of convenience for plumbing access I had all sorts of issues with water shifting ground, your experience may be different.

    Anyway, I fully gutted and remodeled because I was tired of constant surprise urgent issues. The pipes I discovered were a mashup of galvanized, copper, pex, and even a little lead on one drain.

    I installed a full home run led system beside the existing plumbing and then cutover to that one day and regret nothing.
