E-Commerce, the Asymmetries Need Redress
Here is a screen shot from Amazon:
Ignore the product for now. Look at the three pricing structures. One charges tax and shipping and has the highest price. One just tax, but a mere 7.25%versus the actual 8.25% or as much as 10.75% in nearby municipalities. Then there is the middle product price with no tax and free shipping. Head and shoulders the best deal. I don't mind consumption taxes like sales tax but i do mind them being unequally applied. Besides, who's to konw if that lowest listed price but taxed if the tax actually makes its way to California? Any bets?

Good morning all.
Two links today that you may enjoy:

I thought this was a pretty good read on the issues.
And we are having our local fishing tournament. over 125 boats entered. If you look at the participants, you can see pictures of many custom cold molded sportfishing boats, plenty of which were built in NC.

Something to do before the Canadian GP...
Try to find the video of Ricard Hammond crashing the electric race car concept vehicle.
A journalist driving more than he could handle. Mouth overloaded his brain?
Those guys were funny for a while, but show lasted too many seasons...
One more and I will quit. This is from Ritholz.
Brandolini's principle dictates that refuting bullshit requires an order of magnitude more effort than creating it.

Response to last thread. DAWG hahahahahaha.
Poor, poor poor lower middle class dawg. Hahahahahahaha .
I'll trade our net worth for yours!!!
90% of everything is shit-- Sturgeon
That's aspiring lower middle class. 😝
Admit it. Next time the cat gets out youbare going to use that line.
that R/C plane is pretty cool. It would make a nice addition to the DAF (Dawgfornia Air Force).
For Cinco and sm_labdlord. A perfect liberal or conservative litmus test.
Are deer:
A. Bambi
B. Antler Rats
B
You -might- be a conservative.
Antler rates need wolves or more hunters who live to eat gardens.
BTW, the same is true for wild turkeys these days.
That's a possibility
Really? They were so rare when I was growing up that it was an event to so much as see them. I do knoe Ben Franklin held them in high regard. Maybe a good thing he didn't prevail and name them the national bird.
I met the hub AR a Goldwater meeting, temember? What I am, or am cost to, is a Bull Moosian. A Bull Moosian who recognizes that times change, and who doesn't like to see people starving, even if they deserve that, and who thinks that if enough workers are gonna be eliminated from jobs because of robots, that there should be a minimum income for everyone. And that the tax rates of Clinton I should be reinstated. Monopolies should be "busted" etc.
I didn't know turkeys had become a pest. A few should be bred back into to domestic turkey line.

Originally, the Treasury and Office of Management and Budget indicated the ceiling would be hit sometime in the fall, though the exact timing is only a best estimate.
Mnuchin said recently, however, that the pace of tax receipts the department generated was slower than expected over the past few months.
Hmmmm...
I think they were wiped out in Mass. These birds ancestors came from Penn back in the late 70s IIRC...
The reason is, those who can control when money comes in, usually the rich, are waiting to pay, hoping for a tax break. Which I sincerely hope they don't get
Trickle down does not work.
Trickle down damps out quickly. Rational predictable tax policy works forever.
Yep. If only we had that. Have we ever had that?
No, no modern nation-state has wver had a rational tax policy. We got lucky for a while with slow moving changes but that too has passed. In Dawgifornia there are several classes of laws that do not take effect until after the next election and in extreme cases until the legislator retires. Parlimentary pay raises being in the latter.
That's never bothered me. Mostly they aren't being paid enough; if they were actually doing a job, instead of merely being obstructionists.

Okay...in the face of a weak economy and flagging tax receipts, the Fed will raise rates...WTF!?
You say that like it's a bad thing... Does it bother you when the dims obstruct the operation of government with these demands to investigate a conspiracy for which there is zero evidence?
Oh, more than zero,.much more.
Weird, I agree.
There is a psychological argument to be made there, that it makes us look bad. Make if just an eighth maybe?
Did I ever mention? Lobbyist licenses are auctioned in off years. Too the highest bidder using an open outcry white board process.
I had a discussion with a fellow UU lady. I maintained that Trump was crazy, she said he was merely senile.
Alas, I think you aren't kidding.
House up another 300$. House really working hard.
Wakey wakeys. I'm supposed to do a lot of exercise and rehab today and I'm all achy. Lots of financial info this week. I'm seeing standing on corners. Reasonable amount of construction. Help wanted signs. On Brevard, space coast. Very few abandoned buidings. When they build something in the vacant ot where the k mart used to be
Anything, then property will be here.
Proserity.
Prosperity, dammit!
Beggers standing on corners---very few. Need coffee. Spelling errors worse than ever.
Trump may impose steel import barriers.
Along with his execution orders he demanded a bunch of reports, a lot of which have passed deadlines. And which may or may not be made public.
Wasting agencies time???
Bernie speech if I ed that the Dems need their own good proposals and candidates, not to slide in under Trump's idiocy.
Yay Bernie!
Nobody out there? Helllllpp! Trump's got me and I can't get up!
Good Morning from the road!
Kalirado is cooler then NE. Nice ride with the hills still green.
Those agencies work for him. Anything he asks for is not a waste of time.
Did he grab you!?
7am 51 degrees. High of 72 at 3pm when the gentle ocean breeze kicks in.
I'd post new pics of the tomato wall but that would be mean.
N I! Post those pictures. I got some sticks.to attach them to. With Velcro plant pieces for their delicate stems. Planted more marigolds.
Hahahaha
The Democrats have no message, not on economics, not on taxes, not on jobs, not on failing #Obamacare. They are only OBSTRUCTIONISTS
truer words have never been tweeted...hehehe
Bullies who having lost the ball wont let anyone else play.
they are good at making signs and walking in circles though..so they've got that going for them.. ;<)
Stupid me. I thought with a weekend to reflect that we would wake up with RUSSIA! No longer an issue worth covering. Instead D.C. & MD are suing Trump.
I don't think they have standing to sue. Neither does hub.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Hard to call paying for a hotel suite a gift or fee.
That high is below the temp when I left the house this morning... Ugh... Two more days of this... And it's not even Summer yet
Ya think they plan to flip the checkerboard over when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling?
There's profit, which should be put into a blind trust.
I'm sure Trump knows who is staying there.
