politics @lemmy.world•Ted Cruz asks Treasury to approve $200 billion tax cut without Congress
18·4 days agoThe plan pushed by Cruz and Scott has been sought by conservatives for many years. Under current law, an investor who bought $100 worth of stock in 1990 and sold it today for $300 would currently owe capital gains taxes on the full $200 in profit. But the $100 investment in 1990 would be worth roughly $230 in today’s dollars after accounting for inflation. Under the Cruz-Scott proposal, the investor would only owe taxes on that $70, rather than the full $200. That is why the proposal is known as “indexing capital gains for inflation.”
Ah, so the ultra-wealthy who have been holding during the longest bull market in history can get a massive discount for dumping on us peons?

Technology@lemmy.world•The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care aboutEnglish
1·18 days agoThis isn’t the first time that the memory companies have colluded to raise prices. It’s perhaps one of the more extreme instances, yes, but with the AI excuse going away, things will have to go back to reality, especially as China ramps up production and ruins the cartel setup we’re currently stuck with.

1·18 days agoThat’s assuming everyone’s devices crap out during this year or two while the AI and memory companies play pretend that they’re actually going to use up all this memory.

Good thing I don’t care about any of those things enough to pay the rip-off prices. I’m fine with my 4 year old phone and 10 year old PC. If they crap out then I’ll replace them with some cheap old crap. I don’t need high specs, there isn’t much worth running these days.

What we really need is money out of politics and for AIPAC to register as the foreign lobby that it is.
