Yall suck. He isn’t the HC and is fact leaving. He could have left this morning. CFB is in a bad place

Agreed that call sucks. It was called because the WR stopped.

It’s not just us, officiating has turned into a clown show

For which call? What happened with th sharp reception that Fritz was so pissed about?

Can you say “mid-level convertible” one more time?

I've focused on trying to find a good used Miata (probably MC class).

MC = Mid-level Convertible?

The non playoff bowls aren’t going away and nobody is forcing you to watch them. If they don’t interest you, do something else. Problem solved.

Right. I never understood how people want to make such a huge deal that they are worthless, etc. you don’t have to watch it, but the stats count and the re W/L does too.

What happens with taxes if he donates all the winnings to charity?

Would max out at 60% deductible in current year. If taking the lump sum donating all would result in over $100M in taxes owed (after giving all the money away, would owe over $100M).

However there would be supplemental pay withholding on the lump sum, so not really possible to donate all, around 25% is withheld. Same situation they would get $50-100M at filing

Long story short, this would be a very bad tax move.

If it’s the same time, I take the route least likely to cause trouble.

Both routes are 7.5 hrs. The mostly interstate state route is 70 miles longer,

70 miles out the way is really out of the way. 70 more miles that could have a wreck. Would likely never make that choice.

It’s not what he said, at least not in the clip on the OP. He basically just said he wants to be aware of actions that could deflate the market.

I’d like to hear of any measure that puts deflationary pressure on housing that could be considered a good thing for consumers or homeowners in the US.

I agree that the thought of building sounds miserable. Major renovations can be the same and requires a lot more planning on your part than you would think (flooring transitions, existing openings, matching old with new, etc). The amount of work and closeness to the project to make sure everything goes right might not ever make it feel “new” and you will notice all the depreciation.

That said, we went through this after Ida, and basically got priced out while fighting with insurance (costs went up 10-20% that year), but Cretin homes was very friendly, helpful and transparent with pricing and what you get. They seemed to be pretty solid mid level, we talked to some ppl in the neighborhood that had them build (old neighborhood) and had good things to say. But at the very least, you can see one of their models and they will give you a base price, which at the time was around your range. So I think a visit will give you that baseline you can work off of. Just be mindful of other land improvements like driveways and landscaping as their price is just the main structure.
