SYW is either dead or caps out at $80
Looking for a switch. Any leads?
Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

As someone once said “if my team/company can operate for a year without me, why do they need me in the first place?"
Disagree
^Why?
1. It would encourage population growth -> higher consumption -> higher economic growth
2. Would give parents cash to spend on whatever gives them the highest utility (vs say a year vaca)
3. It spreads the benefit over ~18 years allowing for smoothing of the benefit, which brings greater utility to most
I wasn’t comparing the tax credit to the longer parental leave. I think both are bad ideas. Responding to your points:
1) wouldn’t encourage much population growth at all... and think about the type of people who would be encouraged by this... generally not desirable or capable parents. Immigration would be a better and more controlled way to grow the population if that’s the government’s goal
2) money has to come from somewhere, we already have too much debt. Also, this break only goes to people with kids, so people without kids aren’t benefiting
3) not comparing to added parental leave. Both are bad ideas
Gotcha. I thought you were comparing the two. I agree that both are not optimal ideas
Nope!!
Assuming this is a joke...
I’d rather have material increase in the tax deduction for having a child rather than paid maternity leave. Imo paid maternity is a “nice to have” while real tax cuts (not the BS in the US now) for having children would encourage childbirth and smooth the cost of rearing one.
@RBC1 encouraging child birth with tax incentives would be a bad thing for many reasons.
