A full stack developer is either a back end developer that has no business writing front end code but does it anyway, or they’re a front end developer that has no business writing back end code but does it anyway.
Or they’re perfectly capable of doing both because they’re at a startup that’s years away from running at scale or having to worry about performance and security.
Last week, a vendor sold an item for $10. With tax, that item costs $12. Let’s pretend a 50% markup (which is reasonable for retail but insanely high for groceries):
they made $5 profit
they recouped $5 for their costs
they collected $2 of tax for the government
Now the government has a GST holiday and there’s no tax. I went to the store and bought the item and it still cost me $12.
they made $7 profit
they recouped their usual $5 for their costs
they collected $0 of tax for the government
The main thing is that their costs for that item didn’t increase and they’re still selling it at its original ”final” price (because they added the tax amount to the sticker price). That tax savings went straight into profits. It was intended for the consumer to save money but the consumer is spending the same amount and the government isn’t getting anything. That money went somewhere.
Edit: that assumes that the claim made in the post is true. It’s definitely not going to be true across the board, but doubtless there’s some fuckery afoot in some stores.
Pretty much. It’s a tired analogy, but the “unawakened” people in The Matrix come to mind. They’re not helping the cause, but it’s not right to declare that they’re evil or deserve hate like OP was suggesting.
They don’t know any better but that doesn’t mean they deserve ire. They’re reasonably reacting based on the information they have.
Sheinbaum then dug deeper, adding that Canada “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has”, pointing out her country has civilizations dating back thousands of years.
Canada also has civilizations dating back thousands of years.
All of them were brutally murdered and robbed by European settlers. I don't think Mexico gets to play the rich indigenous culture card here because they did all their murders a couple hundred years earlier.
They just finished building 20 or so chargers in a parking lot by my house when the fucking idiot fired the team. I joked that I guess those chargers were never going to come online.
But I was right. They still aren’t enabled yet.
I bet charging competitors were super grateful for his blunder.
I’ve never been prouder of that time I rolled 2 dice and got 12. A breathtaking, crowning achievement where all my years of hard work or education or whatever paid off.
Doug, when a normal family has a member that raves like a lunatic and waves a knife around for EIGHT YEARS, they don’t act surprised when said lunatic finally stabs someone.
But normal families don’t have the same problems the Fords do, so maybe that isn’t obvious.
Corporations can only donate on your behalf, so they get no tax benefits whatsoever. They cannot claim the
money you donated as income nor can they donate it under their own name. The only thing they can do is use it for PR and tell the public “they helped raise $x for this cause”.
That said, if you donate a non trivial amount to charity, you should do it directly with the charity so you can get a tax receipt and write it off on your personal taxes.
This could be as innocent as “hiring manager was on vacation and we still have some interviews planned” or “our interviewer was caught fornicating with a chicken and we’ve had to make some internal changes”.
I would take it as a positive sign that you’re still in the running, but like others have said, I wouldn’t pause my other job searching tasks to wait for this one to play out.
