Only things that are really there

Poor people would have it worse because basic necessities aren't (1) optional and (2) not priced dependent on income. The first certain amount of income for everyone must be spent on staying alive (food, medicine, water, etc.) and having somewhere to exist (rent/mortgage). Whatever is left over can be spent on high quality of those, hobbies, and luxuries. That means that the lowest earners spend their life merely surviving with no joy or options. They just try to exist until they can't. Higher earners can afford to consume higher quality basic necessities and have options (e.g. beef, organic, etc.). The even higher earners can spend their extra income on enjoying hobbies and luxuries. Beyond that, people can spend their money on making more money and directing the economy (aka investments).

By charging a flat rate, poorer earners would be getting taxed almost exclusively on surviving. The highest earners would be getting taxed very little on surviving, so they would have a lot more money left over to afford luxuries and making more money. Because of this, most liberal economies use a progressive tax code (i.e. higher tax rates on higher income brackets). It allows people to survive while limiting the runaway effect from the highest earners making money exponentially. This would then destroy the economy because no one would be able to afford anything and the economy would halt. I mean, it's still happening, but not as bad as if it were a flat tax rate.

What I think happens is that the rich control the levers and the poor are the masses. People that write tax codes have to make sure to balance the two. If it tips too much one way or another, we have problems. Too in favor of the rich (e.g. flat tax rate) and there would either be an economic depression or the masses revolt. Too in favor of the masses, and the rich form a coup or run with their money to another country and develop the economy there.

yep! I get this. when all the senses are working in unison, I can tell a lot more about my surroundings

I've never had those Catholic crackers. Are they any good?

Привет, брат! Эти англосаксы узнают истинную славу отечества, когда поймут, что мы использовали их свободу слова против них. По иронии судьбы, они даже открыто показали нам свою слабость. Вместе они выстоят. Разделившись, они падут. /с

What an easy task! Let's uproot the entire family's social bonds and connection to the culture because the president for the next four years is a piece of shit. Possibly learn a whole new language, possibly set the kids back years in school, possibly lose a career, possibly have to be poor for years while studying for certification exams, possibly deal with xenophobia. Spend thousands of dollars to see if you can get approval. Forever be an immigrant on someone else's land if you're lucky. Prove to Trump and your soon-to-be old neighbors you really disapprove with this one easy step 👌

That's the one that was active when I started typing. However, I change it randomly using the decay of a radioactive isotope that is randomly chosen by the decay of a separate amount of Uranium-238. I'm two randoms in. This way, my time records are always encrypted using open-science source and the government can't hack the pictures of my parking spots at the oncology center to sell them to the NIMBYs at MetAlphabet AI.

What's so bad about this movie that people didn't even bother to watch it to know how bad it was??

Looks like they live in a dumpster 💅

That's what I can't stand about these types of people. There's never any definite anything because they are working on constant contingency, so one can't prepare. You just have to be ready for everything at all times. It's exhausting.

The B-2 probably serves more as a deterrent. It tells would be enemy states that if we wanted to, we could bomb them anywhere. They can't defend against it.

An enemy might think that they have a chance at defending themselves from B-52s, or at the very least, prepare. With a B-2, they could be anywhere at anytime, and no one would even know.

bold of you to assume I have a mom or even send horny dms

This is scary. Why would someone want to hide that specific information ahead of time? Also, that someone is a puppet of an enemy state and couldn't have mishandled the previous infectious disease outbreak any worse. And last time, he disbanded the federal epidemic team before COVID came out. This is like evil-villain level foreshadowing.

If you care about your health or your family's health, yall need to move to a blue state quickly and hunker down for the next 4 years. This madman is going to do everything he can to weaken and separate the union. We need to switch from progress to containment mode.

I don't know what other people use it for, but that's where I plug my butt.
