Why? Because it’s hard to find anyone else there? (Specifically in winter?)

I pay my school tax separate from my property tax now. I don’t think that is uncommon.

IBM (demand generated by rich, poor, & everyone in between) still seems to be in Dutchess County? https://newsroom.ibm.com/US-President-Bidens-visit-IBM-Poughkeepsie

Kinda? But lots of land in timber country isn’t really as valuable as, say, half an acre in a city. But yes, I think it would hit the people in those towns out west that have 6 acres and an empty vacation house.

He provided the demand, and it sounds like it was a temporary demand. I have never heard of this place. How many people work there now? Is this place open to the public?

Yeah, I support a land value tax, so you pay it regardless of whether you are there or not. I don’t think this is true, but I do think that your background & current job might lead you to believe this. Gotta be careful when you ascribe your personal situation to everyone’s situation. The idea...

Feels like you might have a personal interest here?

NY produces data for that. Here’s the AADT for 2019-2021: https://www.dot.ny.gov/tdv It does feel like Friday North/Sunday South traffic is getting heavier to me.

I also don’t like how this dude only communicates through terrible gifs

Of course he’s trying to sell me. Wtf are *you* talking about?

Maybe that’s it. You like the shirts. I don’t usually like to criticize someone’s “art”, but when they try to sell it to me, then I think it’s fair game. And not to be too harsh, but bob would have to pay me $1,500 to wear anything that he posted up here. $5,000 if it’s that terrible telemark...

Yes, I think if Bob pays you $1,500 a year, the thread can stay up.

No. It went okay. Needed more people. Maybe I just need to be more of a relentless marketer.

Yes, I think this falls under “advertising” and not “ski gear”

I hate everything about this thread. I say we delete it.

The next thing you click on if you go to that site I linked to: Sorry, Harv. The solution is political, so you might have to delete the rest of this post: Hit rich people with taxes that actually target them (land value taxes, taxes on stock transactions, taxes on private jets & yachts...

I don’t need to be “good with numbers”. I just need to type $200,000 into that link I put up 2 pages ago: I guess I don’t see anyone “slamming the rich” in this thread. If you think that the statement “Rich people buy things & ruin things that were once cool” is too mean to rich people, you...

Why is this so important to you? To make a dividing line? What do you gain from it? Also, there are levels of rich. People who own car elevators for their houses or smaller yachts inside of bigger yachts are definitely a different kind of rich than a retired police officer who has a $125,000...

Haha, that’s the wrong question, particularly if you are going by income. I think wealth is the far greater tool for determining who is “rich”. If you insist on using income, I think that if you derive most/all of that income from something other than a job (company ownership without actual...
