I had thought it was someone else that did Jimmy Pesto’s voice, but checking it now shows H Jon Benjamin as the VA (with references to Jay popping up here and there).

No, he was. IMDb lists him as the VA, but H Jon Benjamin seems to have taken over the role (though I have t seen exactly when he did).

A while back, someone mentioned how unemployment was taxable and it was loving over a lot of people that don't have the money for the tax bill. Senate Democrats found a Very Democrat way of dealing with that problem.

https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1367861458864926720

I think it's fine, but I'm doubtful that cutting out $400/month is counterbalanced by an extension and tax forgiveness. It's more that the unemployment increase was set to expire during a congressional recess and gently caress the recess if that could happen.

And of course trading the tax change for lower benefits means the higher someone's income, the more they get out of it. Democrats!

e: A family would have to earn more than than $325k annually (or $163k for an individual) to come out ahead by cutting the benefit by 25% but making it non-taxable.

Here's a question, why the hell is any amount of unemployment taxable

Like I thought it was dumb when my military paychecks had federal income tax taken out of them, but this is somehow even dumber

Because part of the function of (progressive income) taxes is to bend the curve on income inequality. If you have a bunch of outside income, then unemployment or federal pay will still get taxed at your normal income rate. If the unemployment or federal pay is your only source of income, it will be taxed less. Someone whose only source of income is unemployment is generally going to be in a negligible tax bracket.

It makes more sense to pay a higher benefit and let it be affected by normal income tax brackets than to pay a flat post-tax amount to everyone. That is, if your goal is to get more money to poorer people.

In NC, you can sign up through Walgreens, CVS, or Novant Health (and maybe through the local Department of Health?). J/J’s vaccine just arrived, which expanded our options a ton.

If you're in the US it depends entirely on the state. In some states it's per county so it's even more of a mess. In many cases the fastest way is to call the distribution sites directly (as Icon of Sin pointed out because literally all goons are from NC, here in NC you can call Walgreens or CVS or Novant/Atrium Health).

Just as easily countered by all the Republicans voting no on increased direct-checks and the multiple nos they're about to give on $300 checks. And caring more about Doctor Seuss than legislating right now

Also, Donnie didn't even hit the low handing fruit of $1400=$2000 in a statement really, basically saying "Democrats are doing my $2k checks and we lost Georgia because McConnell sucks" statement.

Also the 2022 cycle is going to look amazingly different than now. Could explode into a massive economic boom, could explode into a wave of mass death from a covid variant. As loving stupid as Democrats are being right now, this probably won't matter much for 2022.

In the NC thread, people are talking about getting “leftovers”, aka calling up the nearest pharmacy/distro site and asking if they had any covid vaccine no-shows/cancellations that day. There’s a window where the shot has to be used, and if it’s a toss-up between getting used or thrown away...that’s a fairly easy choice to make*

*if they’re willing to play ball, which could be a tossup because lol US

It’s worth a shot ( :dadjoke: ), Walgreens and CVS are distro sites for a bunch of states and you can sign up/look for appts online. I think Walgreens is only scheduling 3 days out, not entirely sure about CVS.
