- Started my 2019 taxes. I have the 3921 but the 1099Bs won’t be available until 2/18. Did most everything except stocks.
- Remember 3k limit capital loss carryover.
- I have so many thoughts on taxes. Strong opinions. Maybe a later post with detailed rationale.
- AMT.
- Filing manually vs private intuit vs checks+balances vs fully automated IRS.
- General capitalism and government’s role.
- Political/financial bedding.
- Data age; law enforcement, defense, national security with information > force.
- Loophole plugs targeting upper affecting middle.
- Itemized use of federal/state services, receipts by individual, opt-in.
- Tech growth and data > centralized policy.
- Govt budgets and legacy corners that should be privatized.
- Online era and internationalism.
- Shoutout to the stranger from yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised. I’ve never read any of Harlan Coben and know very little, but the plot complexity of this series was up to snuff. I raaaaarely read fiction but will look into it some.
- Prepared the full list of scheduled maintenance for the 7500 mile / 24 month mark on the Ducati. I’m currently at 6630, so I have some runway before the light comes on. Many inspections, but the actual work items are replacements of the air filter, engine oil and filter, brake pads and rotors.
