I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Apparently part of the witness tampering/intimidation charges are because he's been sending credible death threats. To add to that, Stone was almost always surrounded by various right wing militia/proud boy types for private security. There was a non-zero chance that Stone would have armed guards in his house at the time of the raid. Further, Stone was at extreme risk of destroying evidence, ala Michael Cohen, if he had been given notice and allowed to turn himself in.

Every bit of that adds up to the raid happening the way it did.

There has been a lot of misinformation on credible news sources regarding ways to "avoid moving into the next tax bracket". I've seen things about putting your money in a 401k, and IRA, an insurance fund. These aren't bad ideas, but they won't help you pay less taxes on the rest of your taxable income. If you live in the US, please educate yourself on the marginal tax system before listening to any of these articles.
So my co-worker, snidely grinning, explained how much smarter than me he was by turning down his yearly bonus because it would have put him from a 22% tax bracket into a 24%. He even showed me the article he read that explained the tactic that only geniuses like him know about. I seriously thought he was joking at first and eventually had to say the fateful words that started the 2 hour debate: "you know that's not how it works, right?"
We ended up calling his uncle, who owned 4 buy-and-hold rental properties. His aunt eventually got involved over speakerphone - They both backed him up completely and even praised him for his genius. I went on to get a CPA friend of mine on the phone and he laughed out loud for a good 30 seconds.
This is the saddest part: We both Googled the matter and he was able to find almost as many articles that backed up his argument as I was able to find articles that explained reality.
Toward the end of the 2 hour argument, he absolutely didn't agree with me, but I could tell he realized he'd messed up. He ended it with "lets just chalk it up to semantics...". The next morning he stopped me in the hall and thanked me for the lively debate the evening before, to which I replied "Hey I love debating, I learn something new every time I debate" (just to make him feel better), and he replied with "Well I didn't learn anything, but yeah... that was fun...".

Mine are usually taxed at a slightly higher rate. Pretty sure most employers classify a bonus as a bonus when it's paid to you and it's taxed accordingly.

Cash bonuses have the exact same tax liability as any other regular wage income. It's only the wittholding that's different, it all gets trued up at filing time.

Big Five/Six Program? I'm entirely unfamiliar with the subject, can't find anything from cursory googling.

I remember saying to a friend of mine the other day that I no longer believed in America's ability to be a force for peace and moral justice across the world by virtue of hegemony. But it's a new cold war now, and at least our missiles are pointed in their direction.

Our overtime gets taxed at 46% or close to it. I have CHUDS in my office who say "dont work too much overtime in a pay period, you'll go up a tax bracket and it'll be taxed even more and it won't be worth it." That's not how brackets work. That's not how any of it works. At all. I've given up on trying to explain it.

Yet capital gains is still taxed at 15% and they're trying to repeal the loving estate tax. gently caress that poo poo.
