Fancy that. The two biggest bridges next to major population centers are the most used for suicide. To be fair, New York refuses to release statistics on how often the Brooklynn Bridge is uses for that purpose. https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/1v0tns/suicide_statistics_for_the_brooklyn_bridge/cenpag0/  was informative.

This data says, on average, Democrats feel 33% safer and Republicans feel 30% less safe.

This is exactly why, in my home, I have to have the first bite of cake, etc. Because maybe it was made poorly enough that it'll kill people, and I'm willing to take that bullet for my family. ;)

Fourth fiscal quarter sales tanked 5% from the prior year. Sales in North America plunged 10%. International sales were down 7%. Wholesale sales (aka sales to department stores and other partners) fell 7%. E-commerce dropped 8%. Apparel sales down 1%. Footwear sales down 11%. Accessories sales down 7%.

A little bit of perspective:

• Walmart (WMT) US e-commerce sales rose 22% in the most recent quarter. Sure, Under Armour doesn't sell ground beef and bikes, but e-commerce continues to be a major growth driver for most retailers. Provided your name isn't Under Armour.

• Lululemon's (LULU) sales in the most recent quarter rose 16%. Sales in its Americas division advanced 9%.

"With several CEOs and heads of product marketing in North America over the past half a decade, ongoing turnover of critical leadership has been central to our inability to stay agile and decisive," Plank told analysts on his first earnings call since returning as CEO.

Reminder: Plank has been the constant in the past half-decade during this internal turmoil. The buck has always stopped with him, who is still the controlling shareholder.

So is it a good buy to come back or is it done?

You think this is on someone's property?

It might even be not-for-profit rental income

It is not, because it's to a relative for below-market rent. See Pub 527, page 28 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p527.pdf

Example 5. You rent an apartment to your mother at less than a fair rental price. You are using the apartment for personal purposes on the days that your mother rents it because you rent it for less than a fair rental price.

The relationship of the individual really plays no factor.

If you're renting to a relative for below-market rates, then it counts as personal use. This means you can only claim mortgage and property tax if you itemize your regular taxes and you have to be cognizant of the SALT cap with your regular house. You also can't claim depreciation.

You have to rent to them at fair-market rates, pay taxes on all of that income (but you get to use Schedule E), and then you can give them a yearly gift (mindful of the gift tax limit or you'll also have to file Form 709) to effectively lower the amount they're paying.

There's no point in comparing apples and oranges. You want to compare per capita rates.

Ask your wife to ask her employer - was she reported as a household employee?

Problem is you don't necessarily know whether everything is up to code. For instance, OP has said there's a drainage problem with another concrete sidewalk. What if that's a code issue? Or potentially a code issue to someone looking to cause trouble? The inspector is just coming out because it's their job and the city is sending the inspector. There's no benefit to needlessly antagonizing them and potentially a downside.

But what about when driving at night? We tend to do that so our kids can sleep in their car seats while we drive. And I like eating snacks while I drive.

You just don't want to give them a reason to notice anything else.

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

This. I call it a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I prefer work that's a little more self-directed. I feel like everyone at the magnet factory is acting in lockstep.

Sure! You're not likely to win, but this is America! You're free to file any sort of suit you want and get smacked down for it!

I do a lot of long distance driving and autopilot makes it feel like you didn't just spend 5 hrs in the car.

I thought about it. My spouse and I have parents across the US, so we go on some long roadtrips. But sometimes I'm eating a burger or holding a drink while I drive and I don't want the car to keep bugging me to put both hands on the wheel.

For Elon, the CEO of Tesla saying year after year since 2016 that FSD was less than a year away should be charged for fraud.

He knowingly lied about the timeline

Well, yeah, why do you think Tesla execs have been leaving? Rohan Patel, Drew Baglino, then Musk made more wacky statements on an earnings call and Martin Viecha resigned.

then cutting prices

Let's be honest, a 4% discount isn't abnormal. It's hardly slashed prices.

Then wants a pay package that could afford 10,000 great workers for 10+ years.

Because he knows Tesla is about to get massively sued and he's trying to get out like a bandit while he still can.

Well, I mean it's pretty obvious when concrete/mortar is fresh. OP is looking for a solution and insulting the intelligence of the inspector seems like a decent way to get them to come down harder.

It's 2 + 4 - 2 = 4

That's the difference between Costco and Sam's Club. Sam's Club sells everything you need, while Costco sells everything you want. Apparently an affordable casket is more of a want than a need.
