  • No, the top tax rate is 37%.

    With lottery prizes, the full amount is usually only available as annuity payments over 20-30 years. If you pick a lump sum, it’s typically only 40% of the full amount.

    This winner chose the lump sum payment, so his lottery prize was about $600,000,000.

  • I agree with what you’re saying and also it feels worth pointing out how pervasive the rhetoric of profitability has become.

    We don’t talk about the military running at a loss, or the department of transport, or any other part of the government. We talk about their cost, because that’s really what it is. Services don’t “lose” money, they cost money.

  • And now I’ve ditched Proton. Andy Yen’s comments made me skeptical, but I was still confident that their mission was intact. This move, to a social media platform with a demonstrated willingness to censor non-corporatist views, confirms my fears that they are giving up their principles.
