This summer, the company started to offer a “security deposit replacement,” which allows tenants to pay a small fee in lieu of a traditional deposit.

The only way to fully remove the information is to do a factory reset of the vehicle, including satellite radio and other apps, the FTC blog post said. However, users should at least delete their device from the car’s system upon exiting if it’s a rental or Uber vehicle.
A privacy spokeswoman for Uber told MarketWatch the company no longer has partnerships with those companies and discourages riders from syncing devices with driver’s vehicles.
Milton Friedman Astutely Critiqued the Inheritance Tax

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 not only reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21%, but it also doubled the federal estate and gift tax exemption to about $11.2 million for individuals, or about $22.4 million for married couples. That means that you and your spouse can either give away during your lifetime, or die owning, assets worth a combined $22.4 million and owe zero federal estate or gift tax.
For the vast majority of Americans, this means your estate won’t have to pay any federal estate tax (known as the “death” tax). You may owe state inheritance taxes, however.
Over the decades, economists have cautioned that estate and inheritance taxes distort investment decisions and estate plans.
On the other hand, many political commentators -- ranging from John Stuart Mill to Karl Marx -- have favored steep estate and inheritance taxes, even up to rates of 100%. Mill and many other pundits argue that a large inheritance is not good for heirs and amounts to a free gift that can discourage hard work, thrift and other virtues.
Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have urged their billionaire friends to take the “Giving Pledge,” in which one donates up to 50% of one's wealth to charitable causes. Dozens of billionaires have done so already. One major impetus to giving large amounts is that federal taxes upon one's death are avoided -- the rate can amount to 40%, plus applicable state taxes.
Recently, Lanny Ebenstein, a professor of economics and philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sent me some of his correspondence with the late Milton Friedman.
“I was especially taken with a letter from Milton Friedman arguing against an estate/inheritance tax at any level. He wrote: "We have altogether too many foundations, too many nonprofit institutions, too many groups that are spending somebody else's money trying to promote their own ideas, which includes our foundation. One of the main reasons for the proliferation of foundations has been the existence of the inheritance tax. It would be much better for the country if the accumulated assets of wealthy people, instead of being converted into museums, foundations and the like, were converted into factories, buildings, things that had real value. It would eliminate harm; it would produce good." (Letter of June 21, 2005)
