People on my feed in Ireland are sharing things about "I don't want MY TAXES to pay for ABORTION" because they're finally getting around to repealing dumb laws over here. What's some good arguments to explain that you don't get to be mad about taxes being spent on other people's medical procedures

I bet any money trying to maintain anti abortion laws costs more than just letting women do what the gently caress they want. Most countries defaulted to outlawing abortion when it became a thing, and it resulted in poverty, death, and crime, all of which cost the tax payer (and you know, people die or live horrid lives). Welfare works much the same way. A homeless person costs more than putting that person on welfare. EvilGenius has a new favorite as of 14:33 on Nov 16, 2018 |

Tell them they need to leave Ireland before it gets worse and they have to pay taxes on other things they don't like.

That way no tax dollars will go to waste!

SpacePig posted:Wasn't this also basically Home Economics before school budgets got slashed to hell? My high school used home ec to make all the pumpkin rolls for our fundraiser. There was a month in 2006 where 5 days a week I went to class and either made the cream filling or the pumpkin cake. If there was cake you spent the class making filling and if there was filling you made cake. And there were 4 or 5 other classes doing the same thing

I got some of those; sewing, basic cooking, and first aid but even those were rushed and pretty half assed. Like was said it costs money and more importantly it doesn't improve your score on the standardized test so it gets cut first. Which is absurd because knowing how to sew a button, change a tire, do you taxes, and stop the bleeding really are essential skills. I haven't had to diagram a sentence since high school but I spent more time doing that then those essential things all combined.

In elementary school high-stakes standardized testing even killed traditional subjects like Social Studies. If it wasn't on the test (and Social Studies was omitted from ours for the first couple of years) it got pushed aside for more important core classes. You still had Social Study standards to teach, but you had to integrate them in with other subjects. So a 1st grade math lesson where you talk about folk hero John Henry and add up how many railroad ties he can bend. Which honestly isn't a bad way to teach the subject, except there's only so much you can do to combine Math and History.

I pay my rent and electric with checks because neither has a functional website to do that. Other than that yeah, no checks. I never balance my checkbook because I can just go to my bank website and see how much money I have. If no erroneous transactions are on the list I can just go "yup looks right." That one I get.

It's "super easy" if you can easily set up two international subsidiary companies headquartered in Ireland, and the taxes you're dodging are corporate income taxes.

It’s not easy to dodge taxes. Your employer does all your tax for you. It is however designed to lure in tech multinationals with insane tax breaks

Also due to my naivete of the drat things, someone stole a check I'd already cashed, scribbled out the part on the back where I wrote that it was deposited and somehow convinced a teller that it was perfectly legit for him to have a check in someone elses in name with something scratched out and deposited it again. And so the bank took the money from my account, and told to me to go swivel. Yay, two weeks wages gone.

It managed to take 3 banks to gently caress this up... BOA were the ones who accepted the stolen check, TD were the ones who decided to pull the funds from my account (my boss noticed a double spend, told them to pull the new one thinking it was just an error, and they pulled mine instead) and my bank (Suntrust) were the ones that said they had my back and would sort it out, then didn't.

I lost my debit card and didn't notice for a day or two and someone used it to buy a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff, in the middle of this I used it online. Told my credit union and they just printed out a list of recent purchases told me to mark the ones that weren't mine and the money was back in my account within 2 days I think.
