The two properties aren't really similar
Are they at least similar or potentially similar uses? I’d get in touch with an intermediary or a CPA and run the questions by them. I’ve seen dissimilar properties used in a 1031, just needs to be reasonable. I think focus tends to be more on value of each.

What’s the property you’re looking to give up?
Theres no “relief” from cap gains, it’s a deferral. New property needs to be equal or greater value.

Your inability to think logically about the future has probably cost you a lot of money in your life.
What was illogical about what I said? As of today, Waymo has the only full self driving taxi that can be used by the public. Tesla has none and has no approved full self driving. So the fact Tesla can produce a robo taxi cheaper means nothing until they have full self driving approved for public use. I’d say that’s actually a logical explanation of the situation vs the hypotheticals required to defend Tesla re: robo taxi.

The economics are in Teslas favor, not Waymo as anyone who has studied the topic can tell you.
The economics for vehicle price don’t matter with no approved fully autonomous driving and Elon may have just set Tesla back in getting anything approved.

Not trying to be argumentative or suggest pediatricians push vaccines just to make money. But isn't it important that parents understand these financial incentives exist?
The incentives come from insurance companies and the government and often are a net loss to the practice/provider. Vaccines are a public health policy to prevent terrible diseases we have all but eradicated via herd immunity. There is little to no profit motive on the practitioner side.

Because none of what you copy/pasted from ChatGPT takes into account costs. Pediatricians don’t earn their living from vaccines and it’s ridiculous to suggest that. To cover my bases, I also asked ChatGPT…funny how the question you ask it matters, huh?
quote:
Yes, pediatricians can make money from administering vaccines, but it's more accurate to say that vaccines are part of the services they provide, and like other medical services, they are reimbursed for them. Here's a breakdown:
1. **How Pediatricians Get Paid for Vaccines:** * **Reimbursement**: Pediatricians buy vaccines upfront (sometimes at significant cost) and are then reimbursed by insurance companies or government programs (like Medicaid or the Vaccines for Children program in the U.S.). * **Administration Fees**: In addition to the cost of the vaccine itself, they typically bill for administering the vaccine, which includes the time and supplies needed to store, prepare, and inject the vaccine.
2. **Profit Margin is Usually Small** * Vaccine costs can be high, and reimbursement rates from insurance vary. In many cases, the profit margin is small, especially for practices with a high proportion of Medicaid patients. * If reimbursement is too low, some practices may actually lose money on vaccines unless they negotiate better pricing or billing strategies.
3. **Why Pediatricians Still Provide Vaccines** * Vaccinations are a core part of pediatric preventive care. * Keeping children vaccinated is important for public health, and most pediatricians strongly believe in their value. * Offering vaccines in-office is more convenient and ensures better compliance with immunization schedules.
Bottom Line: Pediatricians don't generally get rich from vaccines. While they are reimbursed, the profit is typically modest and often just helps cover the cost of running the practice. Their motivation to provide vaccines is usually grounded more in medical ethics and public health than in financial gain.

Tulane med school does them for free if you’re okay with the data collected being used for an osteoporosis study. When I did it, they gave me a $25 Amazon gift card for doing it. Not sure if that’s still the case.

Standard deduction is adjusted for inflation every year and it going up will definitely help people. The standard deduction is also not the topic of discussion here.

Your hourly employees are making $20-30 an hour. Thats max $1200 a week or $60k a year and many are less than that. You arguing for taxing their overtime while you make $300k or more a year is why Mitt Romney Republicans lost every major election before MAGA took over
My math might be bad, but as I understand this to work and based on a 52 week year, a single person working 2600 hours for the year at $30/hour would save $33/week. It’s not nothing, but it’s not huge in the grand scheme of things. Policy to lower cost of living would be better, IMO.
re: New Car Ceramic Coating
Posted by jordan21210 on 5/23/25 at 9:25 am
Worth it probably depends on the vehicle and how you use it.
If I had a new luxury or sports car that wouldn’t be driven a ton, I’d probably get ceramic coating professionally done with something like CQuartz.
If it’s a daily truck/suv and something that might see off road use, probably not worth it. Just use a good durable wax like Collinite.
Either way you go, neither are coat it and forget it. For optimal durability you still need to do routine maintenance washes.

Which is exactly the problem with this. It’s a bait and switch for people who don’t understand taxes.

Why they decided to pick and choose overtime and tips is beyond me.
Because the people shouting how great it is don’t understand taxes. Reality is, it’ll mainly benefit the wealthy (unless there is an income limitation) and will cost the government tax revenues with no proportionate reduction in government spending.
