The solution to these problems is not timelimits but better FREE places for kids to hang out in the city center, and better free places where homeless people can hang out so they get out of the weather without being hassled.

Bah, you'll never make any money that way.

standord just put out a study about IRS audits since 2014

And wouldn't you know, poorer households get audited more. Especially poor black households



Didn't the IRS literally just straight-up say out loud they were doing this a few years ago because it's too expensive to audit anyone with money and the IRS has no budget for it?

then Biden got the IRS more money to do better audits and literally one of the first priorities of the new Republican house under McCarthy is undoing that.

quote:

Audits of the lowest-income taxpayers, particularly those claiming the EITC, resulted in higher amounts of recommended additional tax per audit hour compared to all income groups except for the highest-income taxpayers. IRS officials explained that EITC audits are primarily pre-refund audits and are conducted through correspondence, requiring less time. Also, lower-income audits tend to have a higher rate of change to taxes owed.

things quickly fall apart with very modest incomes. e.g. my mom triggered an audit for claiming losses on a hobby. two IRS agents drove from like 60 miles away, spent two days in the accountants' office and came to the conclusion that my parents were owed an extra $5.

The actor, Raymond Cruz, actually asked to be written out cause he didn’t like being in the headspace of Tuco.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
A big reason that kids all hang out at McDonald's, at least around me, is because there's literally nothing else for them to do. Basically all after school programs were all cut except for sports, and they can't stay on school premises, and there aren't very many other places to go where they can sit that don't cost money just to enter.

It's weird that kids get worse as we keep cutting more school programs to pay for the police to deal with these crazy kids. Wild.

Kids congregate at gas stations because if they keep making that loving RACKET WITH THEIR lovely MOPEDS anywhere where they live, their parents will cut off their allowance.

eh, kids will do that even if they've got a place to be.

like near me recently the local skaters took over an abandoned lot and built a skate park on it. kids were coming from all over to skate it and it was pretty cool but they also definitely glommed on to any business where they could get free water and just took it over completely.

doesn't matter though because in less than a month the city caught wind of the skate park and destroyed everything they built with jackhammers.

the lot is owned by the parks department and has been vacant for 8 years.

Where I grew up, after highschool got out kids either went to the adjacent McDonalds to loiter, to the public library across the street to use the computers / free wifi, or to the empty lot behind the McDonalds to beat the poo poo out of each other and/or watch other kids beat the poo poo out of each other. It was kinda our designated "beat the poo poo out of each other" point where everyone would schedule fights.

We would just go to someone's backyard and throw on boxing gloves to beat the poo poo out of each other, but this was south louisiana in "better times".

I know these tabloid things are mostly fake, but it reminds me of how much it sucks when a kid's body and style trends overlap with the latest moral panic. Like I know fades and 'short everywhere but the front/top' is popular with kids, my little brother has ridiculously curly hair, so if he just copied the current trend he'd be a hoodlum if he lived in the bog people islands.
