@UziCryptoo What does livable mean?

@RDriscollCPA @claudeai There are real concerns about data security, and PII when AI is being used. Giving Claude Code access to your computer will send all sorts of files on your computer to Anyrhopic and Claude will look at all the things you are saying you do not want Claude looking at.

[Nathan Yorgason, CPA @NYorgason]

The things that people are willing to put into Claude, trusting it to be secure, surprises me.

@Billgetzfroggy @tankathon I would prefer he doesn’t climb at all and goes to the spurs. Great organization with a history of developing players

So is an income tax, a tax on unrealized gains for a business?

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold."

So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house?

I didn't sell it.
I didn't cash out.
I didn't make a profit.

But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year.

Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.

@money_cruncher Dave Ramsey’s advice is focused on changing the relationship with money, not always about the highest rate of return

@RealBrittHughes Can you link the article?

[Nathan Yorgason, CPA @NYorgason]

@CMcCulloughEA Sounds like I got lucky when the agent I spoke to first said that it was with international and I needed to call them, and then when I did the agent with international said they would assign it to themselves

@JoeCassandra If you lived like they did in the “old days” you would own a house like they did in the “old days”

@taxlady04 It’s either that, or the IRS incompetent.

My grandpa has told me,
“This issue for people is it’s not often a high cost of living issue, it’s the cost of high living”

@AcdntlyRetired What kind of jet? And do you have a pilots license?

[Nathan Yorgason, CPA @NYorgason]

@BYUBroseph @TexasCowgrl1111 The government wants to tax everything, but my point still stands that property taxes and income taxes (tax on unrealized gain) are not the same thing

@dvh_burner @CougarStats @TheFieldOf68 @ArizonaMBB @BYUMBB @GoodmanHoops @RobDauster Villanova is 21 in net. The rankings that matter most for the NCAA bracket

[Nathan Yorgason, CPA @NYorgason]

@dvh_burner @CougarStats @TheFieldOf68 @ArizonaMBB @BYUMBB @GoodmanHoops @RobDauster You should address the fact your first statement is wrong.

And per net rankings it’s Villanova at a neutral sight

[Nathan Yorgason, CPA @NYorgason]

@dvh_burner @CougarStats @TheFieldOf68 @ArizonaMBB @BYUMBB @GoodmanHoops @RobDauster Clemson was at home? That’s news to me

[Nathan Yorgason, CPA @NYorgason]

This actually looks like a good bracket and system. If only the NCAA wasn’t corrupt

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

Division III uses a metric called the NCAA Power Index (NPI) as the sole criterion for selection and seeding. Here's how the CFP bracket might look using NPI:
