Of course it's capitalism and media that's fueling it because keeping people dumb and angry to glue their eyes to your channel is insanely lucrative

LAKE STEVENS — The perennial powerhouse Lake Stevens High School football team’s first two games have been canceled as a result of its program being shut down for COVID-19 protocols after two players tested positive.

The Vikings have suspended team activites until Sept. 4, according to Lake Stevens School District spokesperson Jayme Taylor.

Lake Stevens was slated to open its season against a pair of KingCo 4A powers, with non-league showdowns against Eastlake on Sept. 3 and Mount Si on Sept. 10.

The Eastlake game was canceled because it occurs during the program shutdown. The Mount Si game was canceled because the Vikings won’t have accumulated enough practices by then, according to Lake Stevens athletic director Jason Pearson. Per Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules, football players need to participate in 12 practices before they are eligible to play in games.

I wonder if the future historians will argue that Facebook (and all social networks) was the actual underlying reason for the collapse (like lead pipes in rome) instead of pointing out the real reason was capitalism

I think there's a deeper cynicism to it. If the liberals scream about "the unvaxxed barbarian hordes" and the chuds scream about "muh freedoms!", you effectively prevent both camps from radicalizing one dead family member/friend/coworker a time.
I'm not saying that this was built on purpose, but the rulers surely must see it as beneficial with perhaps a few annoying side-effects.

I am a tax preparer/accountant and I think the tax system in America is a scam and that return free filing should be a thing. And no, that isn't because I specialize in businesses so I'd still have a job in a return free filing world.

So, basically, yeah.

It's a complete scam so that TurboTax and the like can keep making billions. The IRS knows drat well exactly how much money you owe. The layers of needless complication just scare people into giving lovely corporations money, and better enable the ultra-rich to pay nothing in taxes.

GREENWOOD COUNTY, S.C. —
In a video to Greenwood School District 50 staff Thursday, Superintendent Steve Glenn announced that the district will have virtual learning days on Friday, Sept. 3, and Tuesday, Sept. 7.

The district will observe the Labor Day holiday as scheduled on Monday, Sept. 6.

Dr. Glenn stated, “Our students and staff have worked extremely hard during the first few weeks of school despite the continual challenges presented by the pandemic and the high community spread we are experiencing. Our top priority has always been to provide our students with quality instruction in a safe learning environment. We have monitored our student and staff absences on a daily basis during the first few weeks of schools and recently released a COVID-19 dashboard with our numbers. In an effort to continue providing our students with great instruction while doing it safely, we feel it is in the best interest of our schools, students, staff and community to have two virtual learning days around the Labor Day holiday. This will allow us to maximize a contact break and reduce face-to-face contact. We look forward to everyone returning to school on Wednesday, September 8.”
