They can beg, but considering how many vaults killed all their residents? Sorry no sale. There’s a lot more tucked up ruins than vaults that worked as advertised.

You fell off so why would anyone listen to anything you have to say

I wonder if he still has his billion dollar tax free Roth IRA money

If only congress would outlaw big banks/hedge funds/investors from buying all those properties with cash.

I mean there’s so many homeless in the Bay Area on account of the tech industry

Soooooo anyone think the rents will come down?

Very engaging argument you've got there.

Very engaging argument you've got there douchebag. At the end of the day it turns out you actually were just full of shit!

If there were a market for stupidity, I’d want drilling rights to your head.

I've heard and already dismissed everything you could possibly tell me on the matter. It is all obfuscation and bullshit. Don't care, go away.

Don't get me started on what a con game the financial system as a whole is. The entire purpose of modern finance is to keep labor productivity high and wages low. Every policy is crafted expertly to disadvantage people who work and prevent people in the bottom 50% from climbing out.

Nah, most of these places that set up "second headquarters" in recent years were setting themselves up to exit Silicon Valley way before this happened. It's fucking expensive to own and operate out there, and as long as they can offload while prices are high, that's a big bonus to shareholders.

Cool, engaging discussion. Don’t challenge yourself in anyway, you’ve got it figured out already, and anyone who shares anything that doesn’t fit, be mean.

Even worse, that's why we don't have to pay as much tax for the money our money makes for us as you have to pay for the money your sweat makes for you.

I mean usury was considered immoral at one point, working for koney never was.

It would make sense because in some loans SVB gets percentage stake in some start ups.

I'm ignoring all this because it reads like it was generated by ChatGPT

He left facebooks board I think in 2020 maybe a bit early so he could be more politically involved. He’s also probably part of the reason trumps campaign ran such a great social media presence in 2016. I’m sure his Palantir company and access to Facebook was extremely valuable back then.

Shame but interesting tidbit.

You have an incredible attitude. Tax policy is fascinating and worth investigating. There is a long history of why the preferential capital gain rate was instituted, and the benefits resulting, the most important at the time was stimulating investment. With the present increases in wealth disparity, there are calls to shift policy. Somewhat recently there was a 5% increase for high income earners, and variations of the Build Back Better Act attempted to make more material changes, but did not pass.

Before tax policy, maybe research the Dunning-Kruger effect.

And? So…?

"It's too complex for you to understand, that's why we don't have to pay the government as much for the money we get as you do for the money you get". Yeah fuck off conman. They better fix the problem soon or people like me will find nasty ways to fix it ourselves, including destroying the US economy.

If you believe tax policy is simple, you’re probably not digging deeply enough into it.

As it should be. When a common man can’t buy a home where they work, then the market is wrong.
