I just wanted to note how precise of a bet this is. I will be stealing the exact definition of conditions and contexts to which the bet applies, to future bets of my own.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand this.

Scenario 1: I have $100 in gains this year. I owe $30 in taxes. I am left with $70. (Say $100 is 30% bracket)

Scenario 2: I have $100 in gains this year. I write off a $10 loss. (Say $90 is 25% bracket). I owe $22.5 in taxes. I am left with $67.5.

Is it the case that writing off the loss is better, if you can be bumped so far down the brackets that (gains - loss)(1-lower_tax_rate) > (gains) (1 - higher_tax_rate)?

You could flatten the json object - instead of joining the keys with a `.` scheme, treat those as columns in your sheet.
