They should have fixed it by making the smaller sizes "Manatee Grey".   Fixed!

I'm not sure if you're an investor or not, but I do this for a living.   For the layman, you can just invest in an index fund.  I recommend an S&P 500 index fund which will track gains and losses in the market index.  Since the 1920s, 100% of all 30 year periods has given a gain, and most gains are compounded better ...more

"College majors make more" is not really the issue.  The question is - would you be better off not spending the money on college in the first place?   If I had money to send my son to Harvard for four years, I can show, mathematically, that he would be better off if I invested the money at a modest rate, and he worke...more

So a car with a 1/3rd chance of burning to the ground is the car of the year?   It sounds more like wishful voting.  We wish this car worked the way it was promised because there would be cleaner air, and bees and butterflies, and lolipop trees.   Are we now to assume that we vote for things based on their INTENTIO...more

You think solar panels are free?   I priced them for my house.  They came in at $80k and with a government subsidy, I was still to pay more than $60k.  Then the economics get even worse.   Those panels will 'pay for themselves' in 26.5 years.  That means I'll hit break-even at that time.  The problem?  They last 25...more

The #1 alternative fuel vehicle in the US, by quantity, is natural gas.  I bet most people assume it is hybrid.  In fact, nat-gas vehicles outnumber hybrids by nearly 2 to 1.   When the government started subsidizing the private sector to move in this direction, natural gas was missed.  But it is most noteworthy the ...more

Make less. ...The IRS has a similar philosophy. The odds of an audit for incomes over $200,000 jump to about 3%, and for those making more than $1 million, it's about 8%.   Make less?  Is that where we are now?  I'm supposed to make less because of fear of the IRS?  Send people home and say "Come back next January, w...more

So when the person who really won in that area turns in the ticket, she will claim that person stole it.   Guess what?  That's not new.  If you have the ticket and it bears your signature on the back, it's yours.  That's been done in court on more than one occasion.   It was a made-up story from the beginning.   ...more

First, we need a new tax system.  Yes there are elderly and children in the numbers, but they are historically 20% too low.  People who qualify for EIC pay no fed income taxes and get some back that they never paid in.  Others have complex shelters and use "loopholes" (which is a word for 'laws' that were intentionally...more
