TheOneAndOnlyT posted:loving hell! TAX RATES DO NOT WORK THIS WAY! There is not some magic switch that gets flipped when you go over a certain income where all of a sudden you lose a huge chunk of your entire earnings! you're not understanding it people had interpreted the "nobody earning under $400k is getting a tax increase" to mean, basically, no married couples earning under $800k would get a tax increase the biden admin is going with a tax increase on married couples who earn more than ~$550k in total, so two people who might not have had their taxes raised while not married will, upon getting married, have their taxes increase but at the end of the day, families with two high-income earners are doing alright and can afford it

The injunction preventing Defense Distributed from selling 3D print schematics for firearms was tossed by a Ninth Circuit panel today. https://www.courthousenews.com/ninth-circuit-lifts-ban-on-3d-printed-gun-blueprints/ The Biden administration has already indicated that they're going to do...something. It's not clear what yet. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...ealth-epidemic/ The previous way that the Obama administration used to block Defense Distributed was ITAR, which regardless of your position reeeealy highlighted how poorly our current laws are set up to handle the coming of decent and cheap 3D printing. The Trump administration basically cut and ran from the resulting lawsuit, resulting in states spooling up the litigation at issue. It'll be interesting to see what the Biden administration does.

The warrant listed the vehicle as a 2004 BMW 745LI.

Ah, it was an owning a sportscar while black situationTheOneAndOnlyT posted:I get what the article is saying, my issue is with the framing. I despise anything that promotes the idea of "escaping" tax increases by having an income of N-1 dollars, because it implies the asinine idea that if you make N dollars, suddenly the entirety of your income is taxed at the higher rate. That is not how marginal tax rates work. Axios routinely frames stuff in clickbaity, outragey headlines because it gets them clicks. Yes it sucks.

Weird, I don’t remember Trump picking flowers, but he did yell at a kid mowing a lawn, so.. that’s close enough? https://twitter.com/weijia/status/1387789563242983424?s=21 A few minutes ago, Biden’s rally was temporarily interrupted by folks wanting action on private prisons. His response was pretty solid. https://twitter.com/aawayne/status/1387895440130052096?s=21 Edit: Here’s the clip: https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1387895960722755588?s=21

Data Graham posted:Axios readers: "If Mr. $399,000 gets a raise to $400,000, he will pay an extra $16,000 in taxes" I literally did this math problem one time for a business owner to show he didn't need to artificially limit his business to $249,999 profit in Obama's first year so "he didn't lose money due to taxes." With the actual numbers in front of him he refused to believe it. Why yes he inherited the business and paid people to run it for him and on his own wouldn't have been capable of managing a small gas station snack bar, why do you ask?

InsertPotPun posted:gently caress biden blah blah but he honestly seems to think of being president as a burden, as something unpleasant someone has to do and it might as well be him. This is one of the curses of the left. We actually care about policy and are constantly pushing left. This is because society is really resistant to anything good. On the right the president can smear a piece of toilet paper with something something 2nd amendment and they go into tears over it. I don't think we're at fault for holding our politicians under a microscope but it can't be fun.

It's actually a surprisingly potent dose of cocaine. See, in pure crystal form like that, you can mix it with a bathtub full of water, and then you dip in sheets of blotter paper. The blotter paper is often pre-perforated into small "stamps" that have roughly a single dose of cocaine, around a hundred micrograms. Be on the lookout in your teen's room. Those innocent looking decorative stamps may actually be signs of a cocaine addiction.
