    That tax write-off thing they always claim is such bullshit lol, they’re completely abusing their audience’s financial illiteracy to defend their purchases.
    Claiming something as a business expense allows you to use pre-tax dollars to buy it, instead of post-tax dollars. The net savings is the Purchase Price / (1 - Marginal Tax Rate), which in the US for corporations is usually around 26.5% IIRC (assuming they registered in a 0% state Corp. tax place if they care so much about tax efficiency)
    The retail price for an Urus is ~$250k, so they effectively are “saving” $90k vs. buying it like normal (since they’d have to pay $90k in taxes on $340k to have $250k left for purchasing it through their business)
    What they leave out, is that they could just buy basically any other vehicle on the market and write it off instead. Ever notice how huge vehicles have gotten over the last decade or 2, and how 4-door sedans and hatchbacks have gone extinct? It’s because of this exact tax loophole. Most vehicles you can buy these days qualify for writing off in a business.
    Let’s be generous here, and assume that last fact isn’t true. The average new vehicle in June 2023 sold for $66k. If they don’t take the write-off advantage, that’d cost them basically $90k in Pre-tax profits on their business. Instead of spending $90k, they decide to blow $250k on a Lambo Urus, only to turn around and claim “this was the smart decision financially” to their audience. In reality, they spent $160k more than necessary, just so they could avoid $90k in taxes…. and have a Lambo.
    It’s pretty clear that money is a non-factor in this decision, it’s just a post-hoc “justification” they hope no one thinks too long about.
    ---
    I also think it’s extremely telling that of all the models to get, they consistently pick the meekest one. It’s like they’re desperate to make their lives exciting, yet allergic to any risk. The Urus is truly the Soccer Mom’s Lambo

    I think you can also see this effect when it comes to housing production. The vast majority of land in new developments is dedicated to "Luxury" single family structures, while only a comparatively small amount is dedicated to "affordable", multi-family structures. I'm by no means poor, I'm 28 own a business and in the top 1% of income earners in my age bracket. Even then trying to find a home that was affordable, and semi-detached was a fucking mission, and that's primarily because that market hasn't existed in a serviceable level since the 1980's recession. Every new development is overwhelmingly single family homes selling for 10-15 times the median salary, targeting the established upper and upper-middle class, with overpriced condo's as the "affordable" option.

    • @ChucksSEADnDEAD
      @ChucksSEADnDEAD 9 місяців тому +5

    • @lilpwnige
      @lilpwnige 9 місяців тому +6

      @@ChucksSEADnDEAD Building anything can make financial sense as long as you can sell it for a profit. I'm sure in some area's where land supply is low and the ratio of land price to average income is crazy (DT Vancouver, Manhattan...etc.) it becomes harder to make a profit. Induced demand is also probably going to become a thing. But no matter what, if you double the amount of housing in an area, you're going to make that area more accessible.
      I think it has more to do with red tape then anything else. In most cities, building anything but single family outside of the downtown core is difficult. And once you've built single family, the odds of you being able to acquire the property, community support and zoning to build something more dense is expensive and time consuming. This dramatically reduces the profitability of affordable housing.
      My wifes family develops property in Vancoucer. Even if you own the land, it can take over a decade to get building permission for a high density developments. Meanwhile, interest, taxes, lobbying and legal fees are eating a hole in your profitability and there's a solid chance you won't even be able to build what you want. Even if its not affordable high density, the residents still don't want it because they are afraid of property values going down, "poor's" moving in and their back yard losing some of their morning sun. That's why you typically see more affordable housing built in city centers, suburbs or defunct industrial areas. Its hard for residents to argue a building will be disruptive to their way of life if the residents don't exist or are already living in high density housing.

      @JohnD-zh9st It somewhat depends on your market, but in general, the main owners of rental properties are your average middle-aged couple. The kind of people that have done decently well for themselves and either upgraded homes, or bought a rental as an investment. Generally big real estate investors do the same, but they don't really intend to hold it forever. They're generally trying to profit by charging more for rent than they're paying on the loan, with the goal of selling or refinancing it when the house appreciates. One of the things thats driving increases in rent is the feds hiking interest rates, the higher the rate, the bigger the interest payment, the bigger the payment the more landlords need to charge to pay their bills. Hopefully, these hikes will force a sell off, bringing down home prices.

    Sisyphus55 did a podcast episode with a professor explaining marx and a little bit of hegel and stuff, but the most interesting part in my opinion was that he described how the current system is showing flaws it is consistently failing to address, like that polarisation, lack of empathy, reduced social mobility and larger concentrations of wealth, rising tensions between countries, etc. And it just falls hand in hand with this analysis. And it kinda fills me with this feeling of doom, that i think the brazillionaires think they can buy their way out of the apocalypse.

      The minute I knew zhit was fooked was when I tried to discuss wine, at a fancy dinner party my friend invited me to, who made it big and didn't forget his pleb homie. We were having wine, hence the subject matter, and one of the attendants was braggartly informing us how wonderful his wine cellar was.
      I asked if he was a Sommelier. I knew this because I used to be one of those kids who enjoyed reading through the encyclopedias and dictionaries at the library, during lunchtime, very much. Of course he didn't know what it meant. Matter of fact. He insisted I must have made the term up, to which the rest of the newly minted tricenarian elites agreed and insisted that it is merely called a wine expert. I kept quiet, from years of experience failing to have illuminative dialogue with a MULTITUDE of people, and just proceeded to enjoy the wine.
      As the night was concluding, after an evening of being treated like a leper, more so especially by the ladies, one of the guys approached me as I was preparing my 83 Daihatsu hooptie to disembark. He informed me that I was right, which I concurred to, and we spent the remainder of the time discussing philosophy and various other subject matters.
      This was one of the many times I noticed that the rich are seldom just fortunate to stumble into their fortune. Didn't know what to do with that wealth, except boast. And that no matter how much currency you have, you can never buy class nor respect. Maybe reverence, but not respect.

    The problem I see with the circular history theory is that there hasn’t been a period in history where we value intangible information that can be made infinitely, or in simpler terms software, storages of intangible information. We also have never been able to communicate at a level that we are at now. Personally I think that history used to repeat in cycles but the scary part to me is I think we’ve displaced ourselves into a new potentially more dangerous cycle off globalization and degradation of individual culture whilst also having our brains constantly exploited daily.

      Yes, we do live in the age of information, but of what use is information about past cycles if current leaders of our world dont act on them? It's not us making the decisions. Younger and better informed generations do not have a lobby fighting for their interests. Further there are still some fundamental flaws like a monetary system based on debt and the human nature itself. 99,99% of people will always put their own well being over everything else, like "why sacrifcing my best years or my last healthy years to change the system?". Theoretically humanity could solve every single known problem within a year if we would work together and be selfless. The problem is, it goes against our nature of saving energy and focus on self-preservation. Not saying it's impossible to prevent, but modern civilisation will very likely get reset at least one more time until we learn. Things didnt worked out when life was comparatively simple, nowadays life is so absurdly complex, we cant even predict the near future like 1-2 years. Another thing that´s new: we have single points of failure - lots of them like nuclear escalation, tipping points in the global climate system, Super AI take over - all points that are not allowed to happen, not even once - but it most likely will given enough time passing. There is a reason why the rich are building bunkers like never before, better prepare. I did, at least mentally. It´s very easy to flee into distraction, to get lost in the business of life and that´s vicious, because it let´s you forget about the true nature of life until it hits you.

Also something to note is that the LM002 is a conversion of a failed military vehicle, it's reason for production was likely partially recuperation of lost funds developing the platform as opposed to rebadging an existing SUV as the Urus is now.

      If Then thinking as a concept specifically refers to conspiratorial thinking, when there is no quantifiable relation between A and B. Like "IF abortion is made easily accessible THEN the government must be trying to destroy population growth". There's no evidence to relate those two concepts even though the argument makes semantic sense.

      Lol the best we can do is predict a future that suits our present needs. The future is a myth that we need to believe in to give our lives meaning@@artchad
