@robertgraham I don't know billionaires, but this is something that people with assets do to avoid (or at least defer) taxes. Perhaps your explanation is deferral?

Financial firms advertise. https://t.co/QS8RvwT8L4

@sharintaint @LinkofSunshine Also NYC has some private gated communities within the city. Mostly on the outskirts. You often have to be nominated by current residents to move in. Can’t drive or walk in without being vetted by security.

@baryontensor It's not so good. It also often ads ", huh" or some other word to the end of sentences.

@asanwal @auren And it doesn't matter after your first job? Unlike in (for example) France.

@johnarnold In the US, there is a history of estate taxes arising as a tool against forming a permanent aristocracy.

@gabeaudick @pitdesi @tothemoontradi2 I assume he means he can plug them in (maybe with an adapter) but they refuse to charge. Probably unable to negotiate some charging handshake.

somehow related to these negotiations:

@pitdesi @manas_mody I have known a couple of people in the SF Bay Area that were involved. One is still a member as far as I know and the group arranged her marriage to another member.

@Buddhagem @shaneferro Why did the collide? Was someone in the wrong lane? Passing?

@toly Most car grills these days are mostly for show / fake. Modern cars require a smaller air intake. But I think you know that. ;-)

@vishalraina @pitdesi OK, so I see it has nothing to do with a mortgage. Why did the original poster mention a mortgage as the discussion point?

[John Eisenman (Jice) @jiceman]

@vishalraina @pitdesi So if someone buys a home without a mortgage, they don't have to pay property tax?

[John Eisenman (Jice) @jiceman]

@vishalraina @pitdesi But, I don't get the link between property taxes and whether or not there is a mortgage on the house? What is the logic that makes people suggest no property taxes once mortgage is paid?

[John Eisenman (Jice) @jiceman]

@vishalraina @pitdesi In CA we have Prop 13 (some other locations are similar). Property taxes for long time owners are much lower than for recent buyers. This distorts the market and tends to keep people in place. My friend (long time owner) calls it "rewards program" for long time CA residents.

@PhilSustainable @constans Milk bottle deposits at Whole Foods are $2-$3 today.

[John Eisenman (Jice) @jiceman]

@PhilSustainable @constans Probably does more harm today since most people recycle curbside without a need to collect.
Perhaps 5¢ is too low. Same since 1982 which would be 18¢ today. Glass bottles ~100 year ago had 2¢ deposit which is almost 40¢ today. But probably no deposit needed any more.

@YouGet1ShotAtIt Interesting, Japanese sochu is now covered as well as Korean soju.

[John Eisenman (Jice) @jiceman]

@YouGet1ShotAtIt None of the Lebanese restaurants in the area bother to get the license and serve Arak. They should band together and get an exemption similar to Korean Soju.

@robertgraham As a tech person, Apple's current brand seems to be the default pretty good that mostly just works. Good but sometimes quirky UI/UX with nice design and modest price premium.
Buy if don't want to geek out on the category. Expect something nice that works.

@robertgraham Not a Bose fanboy, but it was associated with my university so I know people. Friend was in charge of their headphone division at one time. He said a lot of cost was the R&D they do (and others copy) and designing their own manufacturing lines.
Pilots also swear by their headsets
