Expanding the court doesn't require congressional approval
That is incorrect. Changing the size of the Court is understood to be a power that Congress has because of the Necessary and Proper clause, and not a power of the Executive.
For an act changing the size of the Court to pass the Senate, you first need 60 Senators to break the filibuster. This means that 10 Republican Senators need to vote for increasing the size of the Court for any such legislation to pass. That’s not going to happen.
Biden could not have expanded the court. That requires an act of Congress. Even if the Democrats passed such an act in the House, it would have been dead in the Senate because they have never had the needed supermajority and none of the Republicans would have voted for it.
I really liked Grounded.
I haven’t tried it yet, but Abiotic Factor looks pretty fun and has great reviews. It’s early access though.
This is one of my personal favorites and the one that introduced me to the crafting/survival genre. I highly recommend it.
The doctor at issue (Ronny Jackson) was the White House doctor while Trump was President. His office was in the White House. He travelled on Air Force one with Trump.
He was the doctor that gave an hour long press conference at the White House on Trump’s “excellent” health, saying Trump has “incredible genes.”
Trump then nominated him to head the VA, although he ended up withdrawing. At that point Trump created a brand new position in the White House for him - Chief Medical Advisor to the President.
After he left the White House, Jackson became a US representative and has been one of Trump’s main supporters. Trump endorsed him when he ran. Jackson was just at Trump’s hush money trial with the other Texas republicans to provide him support.
This is not some random doctor Trump saw once for a physical.
You need to read more about how capital gain taxes work.
In your car example there would be a capital loss, so no taxes would be owed.
If you sold it for 55000, then there would be a capital gain and you would owe tax on the 5000 profit.
Here is an article that explains it relative to your example:

Yeah. It’s incredibly frustrating that we are at this point.
