Right we have to talk. You know you brought on my own personal story about gun violence.

You know. I know that's the only way to get to to get a wealth. Is to home homeownership. But everybody doesn't want that goes with a lot of responsibility that i just is.

"Being the same thing is as religion in politics and maybe it's the ultimate religion and politics put together because at the end of the day. It is faith right. You have faith that this thing you're putting into your arm is this thing and it also opens up doors and it lets people okay. If you've done it and you're willing to prove it to other people now you get access to all of the community. What do you think over the long term the community. You're in the fifty percent that aren't taking. Is this a permanent thing. They're not taking it period or is it a. We'll wait and see what do you how do you see this plane. So this is strictly off assumption and opinion so it's not factual but i will definitely i will say that based off of the people i've talked to him i community and other communities if they haven't gotten vaccinated they probably won't You know at this point. You know the even more you know right now what we're seeing lotteries and incentives to get vaccinated then just draws more red flags for people say did i. I think that's like oh. You like really though i mean i had. I had a neighbor. Tell me just recently. It was like nobody's ever given me anything and all of a sudden. You wanna give me fifty dollars just to get a shot and it was like not like i don't trust it so it'd be it becomes it becomes those type those conversations and i just let them if they want to open up about it. I don't even talk about my status with people Just because i don't want to get into that conversation So i leave it along. But if people want to open up to me about it solely fine i'll i just do the. Yeah not thing okay. But then the day and of course everybody advocates for not getting it or getting it depending on what choice they made. But yeah i i again. I thought it was kind of a lack of better words. I i thought it. I thought it was thought it was kind of questionable to when people start. You're trying to centralize things to entrust the group. Right is like we already don't trust you as a collective group. Now you wanna give me money thinking that you could buy me into getting vaccinated like whoo like. I will raise eyebrows to if i if i was coming from their perspective. When you say like the they don't they already don't trust the powers that be you the government. Tell me a little bit about that. I mean so. I think looking at going back to where we started off talking to me and been working until in this blighted area around community development You know that's that's not by mistake as design know we. We're working in the community. Just north the del mar and in a community for people. That don't know. The del mar divide is kind of where they say is like the poverty impoverished line is north of that and south of that is where you have the wash us and the sloughs and the universities in the hospital systems and everything.

It was like you know it's funny. How those natural progressions almost brings you back around full circle later on in life and i think that's what happened for me. You know what i saw. When i was there was kids would go from like happy playing great time. Laughter to instantaneous. It would seem almost that they would get into a fight or they would be ready to throw down like on the scale. That if when i was a kid you you would least see this progression lead up and it would. Maybe only happened once a month. Maybe once every two months but this was happening like multiple times a day and one of the conclusions. I came to but i'd be very interested in hearing perspective on. This is a lot of those kids. Didn't have the language to describe different emotions. They were feeling right so they had. I'm angry they had. I'm embarrassed right. And maybe he didn't even know the word embarrassed but they would feel that right so they were feeling this range of emotions but they only had instead of having a dial where they could change it or check check different dials at the same time. It was very clunky. It was happy angry. Happy embarrassed and that seemed to me to be something that i don't know how you resolve it but it seems something to do with language. Not definitely i think is even more deeper than language right because at the end of the day What you're talking about is a spectrum of emotions right and so they can only.

"Go get that one thousand dollar credit at odu dot com slash twist that's od. Oh dot com slash twist odio dot com slash service. So now block has after doing a couple of projects and we'll talk about one of the phoenix rising one in auburn washington. In a moment you said hey instead of selling developers who would then get this massive equity value We're going to become a real estate developer in addition to making the modular homes and the modular home system. Yeah and i think part of that is also so mico. Ceo nelson you know. it's also a mindset right. nelson's been a developer for thirty years. There's a perspective that you have is developer. When you think about you know the buying the build and then owning the build financing to build paying taxes on the build getting rents on the build the economics of that dwarf the product sale and so looking at what would it mean to design and engineer and build a product that the first time we look at a site. We know that it'll be approved. We know how to how perform and we know what it's costs will be is sort of something that's never been done in the industry before so having having that engineering done upfront and available in three d. connected to our earpiece system means that as a developer. We have an advantage that no other developer. possibly have. Because we've basically vertically integrated the process and taken to your an original analogy the idea of building a car in your driveway every time. It's not even it's not even that it's building a different car every time and so even even if you have the same car and you sent to everybody respects and he said here's what it is you can build it. Here's what the cost of it. It's like saying to someone. I'm not going to build you a car. But i'm gonna tell you that there's something called a car and then you're gonna have to figure out who you're gonna work with to engineer all the different parts of that car then figure out who's going to supply you with the parts to build it. It's a crazy process so by getting all that engineering done upfront. It gives us this position as a developer which was mentioned before nelson having that perspective when you think when you think about how to develop real estate and then you think about the input of the construction process. It changes all the thinking on the product development side so the product that you would develop to go and sell to developers. You're trying to think about you. Know what is the pipeline of sales. I can get that. Developers will purchase developers. Aren't looking for you to actually make a whole bunch of innovation or create new analog intellectual property. They're just looking for a commodity input. That's why it's always kinda struggled in that space. So the other thing that we had to do in our our projects including the phoenix rising project. It wasn't just doing the build of engineering. The building getting it approved also all the process of being a vertically integrated developer. lot of. that's contractual. So it's like how. How does the flow of risk work. How does the work. How are you transferring. Ownership of this project which part of the business does the build versus which one develops the real estate. So it's a sort of comprehensive business model as much as it is a sort of innovative Product so we did the phoenix rising project for one point. Five million dollars The floor plans are two hundred eighty square foot studio a three hundred forty square foot one bedroom all made in our factory we shipped it there For i think about one hundred and twenty five or one hundred fifty adore hundred. Our hundred twenty-five door people can work tehran Price per square foot. Which i know you don't you're reticent to talk about Let's talk about who this was built for. Who's living in the impact. It's having on that community. And then let's talk about the build quality of these because the thing that i was amazed at when i visited the factory Which with mitch. Kapor who's also on the board and investor in the company was just the the the quality of the build and what you're able to do in terms of energy efficiency and higher quality. So start with either one. Who's living there or the quality level and what innovations. We had an in that version of blocks. Yeah i think that so. A lot of it with with the phoenix. Rising project was honestly if we were not a vertically integrated developer. The project just never would have happened because a lot of a lot of the alert alluding to at the beginning you know the way that the market works. Both refundable and market rate is very complicated. So there's a lot of complication as to like how something goes from being a piece of land that on which it's legal for you to build something to having something completed that people are paying to live in and how they pay for it. So for instance for the phoenix rising project if we were a traditional developers the traditional not for profit housing is developed usually develop through low income tax credits. Right and so low income tax credits. Legally the only way that you can you can go out and submit and rfp to build something if you're a modular builder. You're you have to legally sell your to a partnership that includes an architect the general contractor developer. So that's how it set up so the state state of washington had allocated some money that they wanted to try some different things with. They called it their innovative housing fund and they had allocated a small amount of money and they said we want to go. Try something different if they had put that out to tender. If they had just said you're going to give this up to the county the county is gonna put out an rfp. We would never be able to apply for that because we're not under the umbrella of an architect General contractor which means you know. We just wouldn't do it that way. So we had to work with the senator to have the money funneled through direct appropriation. So we said to the senator. We need you to say that this money is going to be appropriate for this specific project if you can do that. The legally the money's attached to that project then we needed to provide the contract structure. So that the not for profit who owned the site that was legal to build on could contract us to deliver it as a design build vertically integrated modular developer basically. Was you know we gave them a cost and a schedule and all the risk was on us. We said look. We're going to deliver to you at this price on the schedule. Your taking no risk in this. You're going to draw down the money from the state when you draw down from state you're gonna pay us. That's the nature of the contract. So it's it's Really difficult to actually find sites. If you're developing a new building system our new product and you're going through these rounds of prototyping one of the most challenging aspects is to actually be able to find sites that you can build on because traditionally if you have a factory it's not all kinds of developers will come to you and safe. You can build it for me for this cost. I'll give you two hundred unit project to go build right and then you've gotta go figure it out and then you actually don't develop that much product innovation because the projects do bagan in the end. You probably do some framing. And that's enough innovation at that stage and then you're locked into that. Because that's what the market wants you to build so the phoenix. Rising project was a huge success in that we pushed it through from both regulatory and a finance perspective which was probably the more difficult aspect of what we did. So the people who are living there. phoenix rising is run by a group called valley cities in valley. Cities is a not for profit that operates in puget sound area.

I mean, I mean, I suppose is studying, you know, go out. Quick. Give me a little bit, You know, I mean, I had a you know everything but study even though my parents really Try to be strict. You know, my father lectured all the time. As opposed because he was working and then he'd lecture me. I guess it didn't do any good, You know, but its ultimate I guess it's something e. I don't know. E wanted to get out of there. I went toe. My parents said. Well, if you're gonna leave, you don't want to go to school here. You have to go to military school. It's fed about four days of military schools that I go back to school, you know? And e talk to most of my friends. I mean, probably my background was probably different than most, because I've never excelled early in life, and I was We got into college because they had to accept me because I had a standardized test that I Scored well enough that the school had to take you and they flunked out two thirds of the freshman class. They tell you looking at left and looking. You're right. The person sitting next you won't be here next year and So you know, kind of a wake up call. But I also knew if I wanted something we didn't I wasn't doing anything for my parents. I wasn't left anything and they had nothing to give me. You know, so I knew Where was you know is either sink or swim? And then when I got to college, that's when I really kind of started to be able to do well to receive Florida then so I could transfer to Michigan and then law school and then I got my masters in tax law. Which I excelled in, and it's probably the best year of school I ever had. That really had found something enjoyed. It always get good marks. If I liked it, you know, I didn't like the subject. I didn't do very well. Confidence. I mean, you know, you have to first find your confidence. That you can succeed and do something well, Excel. Continue on me, as they say Success breeds success.

Interview With Shawn Van Dyke
"John thanks for taking the time to come and chat with us today. How's it. How's it going on doing great man. Thanks for having me. will you give us. I read your bio on your website. But will you give me in the audience of big picture of your background and kind of have to where you are now in. kind of. Give us the backstory. Yeah sir so by education and training or by just sending a lot of tuition money to the university of tennessee. I eventually ended up with a couple of engineering degrees. So i started my career in construction even though that might offend some people when this always used to be an engineer i make fun of engineers used to be one but i got a degree in civil engineering and then a master's in structural engineering and then went out and did the engineering thing for several years and then realized i don't really know how to build anything and i wanted to get out on the job site so transition from i'd say transition from engineering into construction. I really got laid off from the engineering firm. Heart was working for In went and joined project management team for large commercial contractor that. Put me out on large commercial sites Building all sorts of seven are really really like that Did that for a few years than my way. Up working for some architects and then for real estate developer Doing construction management so. I ended up traveling around the country building commercial real estate projects. You know big stores in the out lot developing out lots and all of that kind of stuff in that for several years. And by this time i was married had five kids now so the second kid was on the way my wife was like. I'm glad you're enjoying your job but You gotta stick around mean. I was on the road three or four days a week wherever the projects were so. That was my first business. Started back in. Two thousand five was a construction management and real estate development company. I'm here in knoxville tennessee. So as doing that work here locally then two thousand eight hit and banks were not lending money to real estate developers anymore So i transitioned from there and started a remodeling in general contracting business People these days called a pivot. I didn't realize pivoting at the time. I just time. I had four kids. Three four came back them So put the tool belt on and started a small construction company. Built it up from there and then one of my subcontractors might trim and melwork subcontractor young guy. We went to church together. His business was blowing up because he got into the high end. Trim and melwork work Market here in our area and typical difficult construction business owner great craftsmen horrible business person and he approached me one day and said man. Your i like the way that you run your construction business and everything's always organized I wanna talk to you about how to run a better business. So we met up for lunch and was talking to him about that and giving them some tips and tricks. And and i didn't know he was interviewing me at the time he said. Okay well i think. I need to hire somebody to run my construction business. Much mill work company and He's an acid yeah. I think you should do that. Because you're a horrible business person but you're an awesome. You're awesome craftsmen in great with the guys out in the field and the work was just unbelievable and he just said okay. I want you to do it. And so i thought i was like i got my own thing going on. I'm okay and he's a great salesman and he's like listen. You have a small construction company is gonna take you twenty years to get where you want to be. I'm already in those projects as a subcontractor we've landed some really high end stuff but this business that we just acquired meaning that the projects coming up he said it's gonna put me out of business doing these projects because i don't know what i'm doing and He he so he said I want you to come and run the business. And i thought i bluff bluffing okay. The only way. I'm going to run your business that you let me run the business. You run the field our on the business. But i'm i'm in charge of the business side of it. And he said no problem and he literally pulled out of manila folder with the entire business and it just random paper. Here's the business slid across the table and said you run it and went home talked to my wife and said this is a crazy idea. This is really stupid but my friends gonna suffer and he was right. It was an opportunity to get on some really into high level projects high end projects that i'd already always been wanting to do in such kind of step back and said all right. Maybe we should do this and So bit the bullet went on went. Joined that team as a as the chief operating officer and at the time we had six guys out in the field in within eighteen months we were at twenty two guys in. He was in debt and not making any money. And we kinda turn that around and and that wasn't all me. We had great team a great owner. That had a really good vision and i was just the execute and putting systems in place. Oh did that for about four years and then got another crazy idea saying. Hey what i've done with my businesses and now with this treadmill work business. I think i see the problem here. Within an industry. I can help a lot more business. Owners with systems. All i know construction. It's all i've ever done so after about four years of being the executive there. I left that that job and started writing books and and speaking at industry events and now it's four years later and i've been doing coaching and consulting work strictly for construction business owners since those back in twenty sixteen. So yeah right up for years. We've been doing this Before we move on but are you recommending to your kids. They go to college. You spend a lotta time in college. You said a master's in engineering of some type so talk about that for a second. Are you gonna man. You're gonna make mom hears this. He's gonna get offended. And it. Every time i say but m. i. encouraging my kids to go to college no not specifically i'm encouraging my kids to develop skills in areas that interest them and figuring out how they can make money at it now. Some of those things that some of my kids are interested in now will require them to go to college. But especially as we're seeing in twenty twenty man colleges change. They're still the same tuition rate but they're not allowing you to go on campus and all of the other things that higher said that here's where value is. Now they're saying nope can't come to campus. We're going to do all virtually. So i think the whole world has changed so but to answer your question. No i don't encourage my kids to go to 'cause. I don't discourage them from going to college. The i feel like it's my job as a parent when you're out on your own which i got four boys in a baby girl. I say baby girl. she's five. She's always going to be my baby girl. The boys they're on their own at eighteen. You better figure out how you're gonna make money at eighteen and if that means you're going to college then you know what i took me. I was on the five year plan to get my undergraduate now. Four year plan right but i worked the entire time and paid for most of my most of my college through work. They can do the same thing so And it looked statistically it takes most people at least six years to get an undergraduate degree and only forty percent of incoming freshman even graduate with a degree at all. So yeah do. I encourage them to go that path. Only if it interests them. Only only if that's that's where their future light. Hey you know. One of my kids wants to be a doctor yet. You probably better go to college. I have several of them that are interested in computer stuff in graphic design and other things and got my fourteen year old son this year to start working for a contractor and over the summer and he came home with more money and more cash in his pocket. And said yeah. That's what happens when you go work. And that's what happened with skill so

Trump tax returns: How rich Americans avoid taxes
"A New York Times investigation into president trump's tax returns found that in some years he paid little or even no taxes. Now, he is not the only rich person to not do. So the tax code favors people who live off of investments including a lot of people in finance who run hedge funds or manage money. Here's NPR's Jim Zarroli. Morris. Pearl is part of the one percent. He's a former managing director at the giant investment firm blackrock. He has an apartment on New York's Park Avenue, and he lives off his stock investments. These days Pearl says, the taxes he pays are lower than ever I. For instance, have not worked since twenty fourteen. All of my money comes from investments I'm doing fairly well, but my tax rate is in the teens. That's right. He pays a lower tax rate than the average teacher or letter carrier Pearl is a millionaire even chairs an organization called. Patriotic Millionaires, and he thinks the way the tax system works is disgraceful. Our system allows rich people particularly real estate developers and investors to pay far lower taxes and people at work for a living US tax law was designed to be progressive meaning the more you earn the more you pay, but it doesn't always work out that way when president trump was running for office, he promised to overhaul the tax code. It is riddled with loopholes that let some special interests including myself in all fairness is gonNA. Cost me a fortune this thing believing. Belief. This is not good for me. The tax bill trump ultimately signed into law in two thousand seventeen got rid of some deductions and loopholes, but it retained one provision that mostly benefits rich people as Earth tax loopholes go one of the more known textiles because it is. So ridiculous Charles con is with the strong economy for all coalition, a group of community and labor groups. He says people who live off investments such as stocks and real estate are taxed differently than people who earn salaries, but instead of paying the income tax rate, which could be as high at the thirty seven percent. They pay capital gains and the capital gains tax rate tops off at twenty percent. Trump's tax bill also retained another very controversial provision. It allows money managers and hedge. Fund titans to take their salaries as investment income meaning they pay that lower rate. Trump insists that his tax cuts helped fuel an economic boom at least until the corona virus hit here he is at his State of the Union address. Soon, after signing the bill, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history. But Economists William Spriggs of Howard University says the bill kept some rules in place that benefit the rich especially people such as president trump who made their money in real estate and sprigs says that by cutting corporate taxes, the bill helped fuel a long rally in stock prices and that's benefited the rich even more people owning stocks where the big beneficiaries because their income was going up whereas wages stagnated even through the recession, the stock market has continued to do well, people who own stocks have seen their portfolios grow and they continue to pay much lower taxes on the prophets they bring in.
Freakonomics
Is NYC on its deathbed?
"Last month executives from more than one hundred and sixty of New York City's largest employers, banks, and law firms, sports, leagues, and Real Estate Developers sent a letter to the Mayor Bill De Blasio. They warned that his poor management of the pandemic was threatening long-term damage. There is widespread anxiety the wrote over public safety cleanliness and other quality of life issues that are contributing to deteriorating conditions in commercial districts and neighborhoods across the five boroughs. The five boroughs of New York. City to see you know are the Bronx Manhattan Brooklyn Queens and Staten Island. Also just so you know Bill de Blasio is Democrat who even before the pandemic was almost comically unpopular. We don't need to get into the details, but if you want to read up on him, just do a search for de Blasio that's DB L. A. S.. and. Then arrogant or hypocrite even schmuck. Considered this campaign ad from a fellow Democrat. The less bill de Blasio is the worst mayor in the history of new. York. City and that is. Rose. Congressman. You don't sound very happy about that. Blacks Rose Macau. Grossman now you and I happen to know each other a little bit through a family connection. My son, has worked on your campaign in in your office in DC. Do you saw me swear to not let that relationship influence this interview I solemnly swear rose represents new. York's eleventh district historically the only congressional district in the city, the votes Republican it includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn one of the highest rates of unionization of any district in America cops firemen. Teachers. Nurses. First. Responders Sanitation Workers, folks who we just recently started calling essential workers but quite frankly, they were always essential like every member of the House of Representatives rose is up for re election in. I don't care about politics my friend. Not Right now. On employment skyrocketing the economy in disarray people fearful further. Fearful. For their future of their families the time to be thinking about how to help people making government finally work again, people are so disgusted with their government that's on the left, the middle and the right. You recently said there is no reason that every single teacher in New York City should not be tested at least every other day as far as I know that's not even close to happening. It's not happening because a failure of leadership a failure of imagination nobody has confidence in this city right now there's no plan there's no solidarity. There's no resources with a system of pool testing with a system with New York City is acting almost as if it is a venture capitalist, it comes to figuring out the most innovative ways to beat the pandemic investing in them early on with private partnerships and then dramatically scaling them. There's no reason we couldn't be testing every single teacher every other day we asked Mayor de Blasio for an interview but he declined there are at least two reasons why in political circles de Blasio is considered particularly unskilled last year he spent a lot of time outside the city for president even though he had virtually no constituency. He's also managed to annoy the one person a New York City mayor can't afford to annoy the governor of New York Andrew Cuomo. New York mayors have a history of acting like the most powerful person in one of the most important cities in the world which to be honest it's not entirely inaccurate. A lot of the city's leverage runs through Albany the state capital what we need, and what this has not done is we need someone who's willing to exist in reality. Guess what if you want the city the prosper you need the governor. If you want the city to prosper, you shouldn't be at tagging housing them. You should be working with him but as Max rose season, the Basel Administration was failing New York long before covid hit in some ways the mayor and his administration took up a new form of laissez faire economics where they said well, we don't have to invest in the future of this city because people have to stay here, people will need to stay here. People will always come here and build their businesses. We don't have to do anything. Well, that's of course, not the case this is a competitive country and it is a competitive world. During the pandemic New York City's been competing with neighbors like New Jersey and Connecticut, and New York suburbs also Florida and Arizona in Nashville Austin those at least are a few of the places that some New Yorkers have fled to. But how many? The truth is no one really knows yet. Pre pandemic the city's population was eight point three million. The New York Times analyzing cell phone data from that four hundred, twenty thousand people had left the city between March and may most of them wealthier residents with a second home. But that measurement has an obvious limitation leaving the city with your cellphone doesn't mean you won't return especially if you own your home since right now is not the easiest time to sell a New York apartment. Here's another probably better metric since March, roughly two, hundred, fifty, thousand New Yorkers have filed with the post office to change their mailing address. That's about double the number from the same period last year. So that suggests roughly one hundred and twenty-five thousand higher than normal outflows that goes with a significant decline also hard to measure in the number of people moving into new. York. Still in a city of eight point, three million, this doesn't seem to qualify as a mass exodus. To. Get a slightly finer greened look at population outflow. We called up Nancy Wu I'm an economist at St Easy where I look at the trends about real estate and then create analyses to tell stories about the data street easy is listing service used by landlords and renters, buyers, and sellers and real estate agents. It manages a pretty impressive database. I have access to all of the market data on the sales and the rentals listings in the universe of real estate listings in New York, city and what has seen since the. So Manhattan rental inventory as of July there's been thirty seven thousand listings on the market that is a sixty five percent growth from last July and how about in say Queens and Queens you should now has two point, two, million people whereas Manhattan has only one point six, million in Queens there six, thousand, six, hundred listings on the market, and that's a twenty six percent increase from last July. So inventory grew everywhere when looking at the borough level but grew way more Manhattan. So that's some rental data. What about home sales in July? There's thirty seven percent fewer Manhattan. That went into contracts than in the same month last year there's largely been a fast forwarding of the natural attrition of the City so New Yorkers were planning on moving to the suburbs within one to two years are doing. So now instead so these New Yorkers are taking advantage of the low mortgage rates to move to the suburbs. So that's another hint that the outflow may not be as apocalyptic as some people think at least not yet that may be more of a one time acceleration of constant trend. Although of course, those outflows are usually countered by inflows will keep moving into New York. There are a lot of reasons to suspect not particularly in the short term, the city is diminished and it remains relatively expensive especially housing although that too is changing at least a bit in Manhattan rents fell by three percents year over year since last July that's the biggest decline we've seen since agree recession when rents fell ten percent but Wu says, we may be seeing only the beginning of this trend we do expect Manhattan rents could fall by more than ten percent because there's a lot of factors where the pandemic has more impact on rents than the great recession did. That may be especially true for two reasons. The first is that a recovery from pandemic is likely even more uncertain than recovery from a financial crash. The second is that the pandemic isn't done doing its damage on the economy just last week, we saw tens of thousands of new layoffs and furloughs announced by firms like Disney and united and American Airlines and even when jobs aren't based in New York City, there is a trickle down effect on the financial services and banking industries here on consulting and accounting firms on commercial real estate and the hospitality sector. A recent audit by the New York State Comptroller reported that over the next year between the third and a half of New York City's restaurants and bars may close permanently.

Tax Return Report: Did Trump Go Beyond His Legal Limits?
"President trump reportedly made hundreds of millions of dollars lived a lavish lifestyle, but yet paid little to no federal income taxes in recent years that's according to a New York Times investigation. So was trump taking advantage of legal loopholes or might have broken the law somehow well, Lee Shepherd is a contributing editor at the publication tax notes and has a law degree from northwestern university in his here's thanks for being here this morning high. So as you've dug into this reporting in the New York Times, do you see evidence that the president might have might have broken laws here? I see mostly factual issues We sort of have a mixed question of law on fact, on his big abandonment loss, which is kind of a hard thing to know because we don't know the circumstances and because it was a big loss as the time says, it has to get a lot of approvals. So the IRS might be nervous about it. So there would be a lot of arguing about it. you also have a bunch of factual questions like did he pay vodka consulting fee and you know was did she do work? You know was that work worth that kind of money things like that So I mean, presumably, some of these questions would be answered in an audit and when you talk about factual questions in Texas I mean, would it just be a matter of you should not have done that you need to pay a big fine now or could there be places where they would say well, this was some sort of evasion that went beyond that was more serious. In an audit, it doesn't mean you did something bad. It means you did a lot of stuff and you have a big tax return and they're curious about it and they wanna make sure everything's. All right. If. You get something that they don't agree with and they think you know you really really should've known better. We have civil fines in our law we have a whole bunch of them. But they're just fines. But yes, on audit you argue about those two. I mean the president has said he was smart. He said that in the past about finding loopholes in in in the tax system to. Take, advantage of would. Would you agree with that? I mean, did he do smart things here or or not? So smart and potentially you know as we say, every legal wrong carryovers are not loopholes. I mean this is. This is the way the law works. The question is, did you did your behavior fit into? You know deductible expenses. Did you prove the amount of this loss you know are you entitled to carry this? Loss? Back. I'm a seventy thousand deduction for hairstyling for time on television show that was sort of eye-popping to a lot of people that the kind of thing you would see in a lot of people's.

Lord Gif, and he's also in a weird position because. And they've times points to Saudi sells his lifestyle.

Major Real Estate Website Now Shows Flood Risk
"D. Y. E. N., dot com slash NPR to learn more many people who lose their homes wildfires or in hurricanes did not know they were in harm's way. You can understand that this might happen. You know that the houses near the words or near the. Coast, but you don't quite realize the risk don't quite realize the extent of the danger. One major real estate site is now showing a homes flood risk along with photos of the kitchen and living room so that people will know this is one way that climate change has become a more direct part of home-buying. A long-term decision that a lot of people make our reporting from NPR's climate team starts with NPR's Rebecca Hersher. It's obvious to a lot of Americans that climate change means more flooding more than a thousand homes and businesses are flooded in the Jackson Mississippi Southern Louisiana Sixty thousand homes north. West of Omaha is still dealing with the math more than four hundred homeowners. Even, though government flood maps have been around since the seventies, there was no mention of flooding on real estate websites until today Leslie Jordan is a vice president of the website realtor dot com, which lists more than one hundred, ten, million homes. Flooding is the most common costly natural disaster in the US. So realtor DOT COM has added flood information to every listing Jordan says that's thanks in part to a new privately funded fled information project called flood factor. Matt E B. is one of the CO founders of. Flood factor which rates houses on a scale from one to ten. So if it's very likely a very deep flood, you'll get a flood factor of ten for that property. If it's very unlikely, then it'll be a flood factor one, the ratings take into account climate change particularly sea level rise and more extreme rain ev says that kind of Info has actually been out there for years. It's just that regular people haven't had access to it. A. Democratization of this information is the way that we like to think about. It because there are people who already have this information and they're already acting on it people like mortgage insurance companies and large real estate developers, some of which have fought against public flood disclosure laws. So are other real estate sites also going to add this information. Can you say We are hopeful and happy to engage in those conversations with folks and that less than specific answer made my colleague Pr's Climate Team Lauren summer wonder what is going on with the other real estate websites so she called them i. I I asked Zillow if they're thinking about publishing flood, risk their number of challenges with that, and it's something that I think sooner or later would be a great feature to include Jeff. Tucker is an economist at Zillow who has studied how the homes they help sell art risk from climate change hundreds of billions of dollars just tremendous amount of real estate at risk primarily from coastal flooding for instance, Tucker. Says the company has had internal discussions about including flood risk, but they expect pushback from some users the current. May Be very unhappy to have that kind of information surfaced. If they're interested in selling their home, I heard the same thing from Taylor Mar lead economist at red. Fin. Could this actually reduce the value of this existing homeowner and essentially take away a lot of their net worth Marceau's on the buyer side Redfin survey show that three quarters of them. WanNa know about natural disasters before making an offer but he says that Info can't. Crowd out other fell on the website. If we made the whole front page just about flood risk, they might not be as easily able to navigate how long the commute is. For example, Maher says they're looking at testing including flood

The dangerous use of off label prescribing in times of a pandemic
"FDA requires prescription drugs to go through rigorous testing for both safety and efficacy as a result only a small number of drugs that are developed are ever approved for use and then only for narrow indications so take for example. A drug called Gabba Penton. It was approved in the early nineteen nineties as an anti seizure medicine but it didn't work very well. So experts began to promote it for use to treat all sorts of other conditions including pain bipolar disorder attention deficit disorder restless leg syndrome and Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome. It has not been approved for any of these reasons but doctors prescribe the drug heavily and Gabba. Penton is not the only example even if there is no proof and the FDA has not approved drug for a specific condition doctors can still prescribe it because here in the United States doctors are allowed to prescribe drugs off label in other words for reasons completely different than what they were intended for or for what. They were tested to treat. It stands to reason that Dr should only prescribe pills to treat conditions for which there is good evidence of effectiveness but that is not the case in the United States. These off label prescriptions account for one out of every five prescriptions. That means that twenty percent of all drug prescriptions are for conditions for which the drug was not approved so when the president tells us that despite warnings from the FDA. He's taking the Anti Malaria. Drug Hydroxy cleric win as prevention for COVID nineteen. It raises all kinds of red flags. Currently there is no. Fda approved drug to treat or prevent covid moreover several studies. Most recently in Jama have shown that hydroxy chloroquine has been shown to be in effective intriguing covid in effective. So how wide why? The president's doctor prescribed this drug went. Experts advise against taking the drug will because it was being prescribed off label for a non approved condition and the same is true for thousands of doctors who prescribed this drug for themselves for their families or for patients on the advice of a real estate developer. Who HAPPENS TO BE THE PRESIDENT? I suspect the public thought that the president knew something that the rest of us didn't inside information. Well IT TURNS OUT. He didn't the rest of US. Were reading the medical research and new. The drug was a very little use to those with. Covert the use of off label. Drugs drives up the cost of healthcare and exposes patients to unnecessary risks. Uncertain outcomes. Hydroxy chloroquine can cause abnormal heart rhythms and dangerous rapid heart rates. So doctors who've written these prescriptions without any scientific basis. Now have a moral duty to reach out and inform patients about the risk of medical treatment with hydroxy chloroquine and the lack of any benefit. And we need to rethink the policy of allowing doctors to write prescriptions for drugs that lack any proof of benefit at a very minimum. We should require doctors to inform their patients that they are being prescribed drug that has not been proven effective for their

Heres my fail plan, said no startup founder ever
"Week gave us a spectacular tech failure with the shadow APP. That basically ruined the Iowa Presidential Caucus Caucus but tech failures aren't always considered a bad thing in silicon valley. There's a mantra fail fast. That suggests you should try things quickly as entrepreneur and then move onto the next thing with lots of great lessons in hand but even though most startups do fail and it can be celebrated and not punished. Most companies. Don't plan for failure. Like think about what happens to their customers or their data or their intellectual property in fact many companies in the tech industry actively actively deny that they will ever cease to exist and that might be bad for business. Arielle parties is a senior writer with wired magazine. Who's written about this? Recently there there is certainly a world in which startups have a sort of Think of it like a pre-nup for your company right and so you sort of plan for that possible. The outcome and there are plenty of examples of companies picture. Life is one that springs to mind that have offered cloud storage for people's photos and what happens ends when those companies run out of money and can't pay for server space everyone's photos disappear and that's a really unpleasant experience to have as a customer so whether the way you plan for that that is having a little bit of extra cash to make sure you have the runway to you know give your customers fair warning notice thinking about it is the most important part part and then what actually plays out is probably a little bit of a case. By case basis once companies do mature. Is there any evidence that that becomes uh-huh part of their planning or they get better thinking about their own ends. I think in a sense Thinking about your own end is also thinking talking about your next pivot so companies. That are big are sort of only big. Because they've managed to do something that serves a need right now but even the biggest companies. You know eventually that need is not useful think about Kodak for example So thinking about your own end might be less about planning your own funeral and more about predicting where you go next right totally could venture capitalists be saying to potential startup. CEO's does you know what's your worst case scenario here. My sense is that as a result of the chaos at companies like we work and with firms like Softbank investors are starting to think a little bit more about these scenarios how it will affect you know start up business models or the way investors choose to invest. I think really remains to be seen But what's what's definitely clear. Is that every startup will die even the big ones eventually so planning for that is You know prudent not just for the companies but for the investors as well and then can you give us another example. We talked about the photo sharing. But you know there are obviously much bigger companies even since then like we work that have employees. Can you give us an example of how a company failing can can have a big big ripple effect on on society. Well I think on the consumer side. There's a very emotional impact to to services or products being discontinued one of the examples. I bring up my piece. Is this wave of sort of home. Robots that All went out of business last year and they're are some great really heart wrenching stories of of consumers who are stuck with these hunks of plastic in their homes that they have emotional connection to you but no longer are supported by the companies companies But I think in in a sort of broader sense you know you can think about Scooter startups there are lots of scooter. Startups have crashed and burned within the last year and whose left picking up all of those scooters that are littered across major cities will. That's the public what happens when A major company like we work Implodes I mean it's not just the company that's affected it's everyone who partners has with its business developers it's real estate developers it's Janitorial and custodial staff it's much broader than just You know a set of investors and founders who are sort of flying around their golden parachutes.

"Tough for real estate, developers investors, and the way we look at it is we're still not buyers of feel state stocks in the u e okay and will not be buyers for quite some time. So let's be clear, but I think the the weakening nature of the market is actually helpful for the city at is as it helps reduce living expenses and also helps businesses in their rentals et cetera. So the the housing Bill or let's say the housing expense per for every individual is right up there. If that expense gradually starts to come down, the city becomes more affordable. So. Foldable real estate goes ways and ways to help businesses and individuals that really want to live and make a living in this city. And that's where we think the the the difference is it's not so such a dark story. There's a there's a light at the end of the tunnel. The problem is between now, and until we reach that affordable state as we hope there are no major defaults, or or, you know, bad loans etcetera. I still think there's a quantum divorce between what landlords want and what the reality is in the marketplace in the marketplace, but that's for another conversation. Let me talk to you about banks. We got fed on pause. You've got rates here. They've been climbing. What we've got funding rates climbing in our region. That's good news for the banks in terms of net interest margin. Is that fully priced in the banks? I'm thinking about you, a banks Kuwaiti banks Eubanks is that all in the price is for most part you typically see with every interesting hike.
