Due to a fire, Artist Alley opening will be delayed for at least one hour due to smoke. Rest assured that Artist Alley is safe. We ask that attendees do not congregate at Arch to allow emergency services perform their duties. In the meantime, Summit and the rest of Arch remains open!

Friendly little reminder that “your brain isn’t fully mature until 25” isn’t just inaccurate science, it’s an idea that is actively being used to strip people of their rights to medical autonomy.

Under current US law, if you founded a company and it has become very successful and you own a lot of its stock, there’s really no reason for you to pay taxes. You don’t have to take a salary, and the company doesn’t have to pay dividends (it can just reinvest profits in its business), so you don’t pay taxes on any cash flows from the company.[3] You also don’t have to sell any stock, so you don’t pay any capital gains taxes.

How do you buy groceries? Well, classically, a bank will lend you a bunch of money secured by your stock, at a fairly low interest rate (because the loan is pretty safe), and you use that money to buy groceries and houses and yachts and things. The loan is not a taxable event. You never really have to pay it back: You just borrow more to fund your lifestyle (and to pay the interest on the loan), and if your company keeps succeeding, the loan compounds at a lower rate than your stock. You keep this up for the rest of your life, and then when you die your heirs can sell some of your stock to pay back the loan. And they don’t pay any tax on the stock sale, because they get a “basis step-up.” This strategy is sometimes called “buy, borrow, die.”[4]

Started reading @matt-levine.bsky.social's Money Stuff newsletter to learn about investing, but instead it has radicalized me by teaching me how rich people don't pay taxes.

Point being, that people in power will always make themselves the exceptions to their own regulations and I think now is a great time to remember that

Secretly asks Denton to give her the [I think it’s like a serum that breaks the algorithm, again the details are fuzzy] which is obviously a huge twist since she’s been the one who’s like “people need to die on their death days” the whole time

And he then gets caught up with this like government conspiracy basically about how to game the algorithm (I read this a few years ago, details are fuzzy) but the big twist at the end is that the senator who is like spearheading the algorithm and is trying to keep any of this from getting out

There’s this book called Denton Little’s Still Not Dead, by Lance Ruben (spoilers for the entire plot incoming)

And basically the plot of this book is that there’s an algorithm that tells everyone when they’re going to die, but this kid Denton somehow lives past his death date
