@fandompulse Amen!

@julianviader Judged in a global and historical context, they are.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@MaMoMVPY Other than personally insulting him, what’s your responses to his actual arguments?

@eurofounder This parody account kills me!

@getsharkproof @vrexec Mutual fund gains get taxed. Gains from the sale of a primary residence, up to $500K for a married couple, do not.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@vrexec Your appreciation rate is pretty low. Gains on the sale up to $250K for individuals and $500K for couples are completely untaxed, unlike any other investment you can put the money into. Finally, rental rates on homes of that caliber are quite high. But an interesting exercise.

@Microinteracti1 Ever heard of the saying "cut off your nose to spite your face"?

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@compliantvc Hilarious parody!

@neeratanden When people talk about the dumpster fire that is CA, do they mean the scenery?

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@iresmoran1 @Matt_Pinner Literally the two worst-performing states in the Union. Illinois is insolvent, and CA is a dumpster fire. Please, please run that ticket!

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@Matt_Pinner I call it a landslide for the Republican ticket.

@UziCryptoo Administering a mortgage is not a small thing. Conducting a foreclosure is a huge hassle if they don't pay. Your "investment" is highly illiquid and tied up for up to 30 years. Put the money in an income-producing ETF that earns as much or more, and you can get it any time.

@StephenBright @tinainvirginia @RogerSeheult @americaforevs @Delta @SkyWestAirlines Yeah. Actually, everyone onboard was polite to the young woman, and I'm glad they were, because who knows whether she was in on it or not. But definitely some really bad tone-deafness from @Delta and especially @SkyWestAirlines

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@MKE_NGK @tinainvirginia @RogerSeheult @americaforevs @Delta @SkyWestAirlines I'm fully relaxed. Why so defensive? Just wanted to explain the details, because I was there.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@RogerSeheult @TyTyrone4 @Delta @SkyWestAirlines Yes. I was in IC, he was in 2C. By the way, for all the nasty people who have responded to your original tweet, imagining there's some good reason, there isn't. I've spoken to the airline. It happened exactly as I said it happened. I was there. The airline doesn't dispute it.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@TyTyrone4 @RogerSeheult @Delta @SkyWestAirlines This one didn't age well.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@MDCurator @RogerSeheult @Delta @SkyWestAirlines Yep. I was there.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@MKE_NGK @tinainvirginia @RogerSeheult @americaforevs @Delta @SkyWestAirlines Not sure what you mean by "source," @MKE_NGK? I was on the flight, talked to the crew, sat in front of the guy who was moved out of his seat, and sat immediately in front of the young woman who was seated in his place. I was there.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@highbrow_nobrow What a dope.

[Paul Brown @pfbrown86]

@rallenac @dchersh Healthcare and higher education too! Same phenomenon.
