Some of those critics this week highlighted social media posts of Katherine Maher, NPR’s CEO, praising Democrats, calling President Trump a racist and promoting progressive ideas.
I thought this could be pretty bad coming from a CEO of a news source, until I looked into it more. She had said those things before being the CEO of NPR, as a public citizen vs as the CEO of a neutral news source. Good job hill on not providing sufficient context.
IDK, I feel a lot of their programming, especially recently, has been pretty stern that there's conspiracy theories with no basis in reality. I recall them having pushed back on lies by conservative interviewees as well.
Yeah itemized deductions would still need to be offered, but for many people the work would be minimal since it usually makes sense to select the standard deduction.
That's horrible that you even have to pay that much for medical expenses but that's a whole other conversation lol.
There's a lot.
Every tax form you get is submitted to the government as well.
W2,1095 a, 1099, property taxes etc.
For most people, the government could just send a letter saying: we have all the documents. Do you want to itemize or take a standard deduction? Do you have anything else to report? Cool.
The people that would still have complicated taxes would be the self employed.
I mean the government hasn't put up any protections yet. I support them putting up protections. Until they do, someone's providing actual advice of what to do instead of crying, getting scammed, or not buying a car.
Edit: seems specific to Brave, as neither Chrome nor Firefox exhibit the same behavior. Got the extension autoplay stopper in order to stop autoplay as even Brave's settings don't stop autoplay.
Wow, auto playing video, that also has audio. not going to click on an ABCnews link again
Power over Western nations may have been a strong word, but they do have influence.
We don't know their plan, but we can look at past trends: they've attacked Georgia, they've attacked and controlled Crimea, they're attacking and controlling parts of Ukraine. Not fighting Russia hasn't stopped Russia, so with Russia now at war with Ukraine, stopping them there seems like a necessity. Maybe now they'll learn that imperialism is dead, and looked badly on by other nations. They shouldn't be rewarded for this bad behavior against our allies.
You're right, the war could have been avoided, but Russia decided not to avoid war. All they need to do is leave ukraine and it will stop, but they won't.
As it is now, Russia controlling as much oil as they do gives them power over us, them controlling Ukraine will also help them affect food prices as well as just encouraging them to continue to attack their enemies. Europe has significant reason to jump to prevent Russia's advancement, European countries being our allies is another reason to stop Russia's push into Europe.
Maybe a little. The US had a bill for providing 60bn so 100bn is quite a bit more, though maybe not significantly considering all the countries involved.
US and Western officials insist that although Russia has been able to jump-start its factory lines, in part because it has the advantage of being a managed economy under the control of an autocrat, capitalist western nations will eventually catch up and produce better equipment.
I mean the article seemingly agrees with CircusCritic, they're only outproducing because of lack of funding from NATO countries in combination with the control Russia has over its own economy. If NATO, NATO countries, or the US can actually begin to deliver a lot of funds, production will increase rapidly.
We have industries for creating these armaments, they just don't have the incentive to create a lot due to a lack of funding.
The when is of course an important question. Providing 100 billion to Ukraine in funding in 2 years will have a different impact than 100 billion next month.
Not certain if trolling or just unfamiliar, but Republicans politicians are doing what they can to not get in Russia's way or doing things that benefit Russia. For instance, Republicans aren't really supporting providing additional funding to Ukraine. Republicans have also used an FBI informant who was bribed by Russia as evidence to try to impeach Joe Biden.
I would say they still failed significantly, they wanted to at least get an impeachment in to be able to say that even trumps impeachments didnt really mean much either.
They may still be able to pivot as you indicated, but the fact that the impeachment process hasn't been minimized is a win for our country in my opinion.
