Kith posted:Do you happen to have a source comparing train costs to airline costs? the reason it costs more for one day delivery shipping isn't just to get more money out of you, air is more expensive. capital costs and operating costs are both higher. like a diesel locomotive can cost up to two million, meanwhile a new 737 is almost 90 million. environmental damage from flying is far worse too so if we had taxes to cover those externalities air shipping would be even more expensive.

Gyges posted:I guess Texas has been feeling left out of the conversation about which state is the worst. extremely laughing at the one guy they talked to who opposes the bill quote:In opposition to the bill, John Litzler, general counsel and director of public policy at the Texas Baptists Christian Life Commission, said at the committee hearing that the organization has concerns about taxpayer money being used to buy religious texts and that parents, not schools, should be having conversations about religion with their children. who can disagree?

looks like the allen tx shooter was a naziquote:Also, the law enforcement officials said, Garcia had several social media accounts and appeared to be drawn to neo-Nazi and white supremacist content. He was also wearing, when he was killed, a patch on his chest with a right-wing acronym. the patch here said RWDS which stands for right wing death squad

Gort posted:Still seems nuts to a non-American that you guys all have to file your own taxes instead of that burden being on your employers, but I guess not being gouged for the right to do the busywork is a step forward employers do collect that information and send it directly to you. for most people filing taxes is pretty easy, you just transpose the data from your form (called a w-2) into turbotax or whatever. does not take very long. the problem is that it costs money to do this, and also the information is also sent to the IRS so they could process it for you without the middleman or cost. like leon said the simplest reform here would just be for the IRS to send everyone a completed tax return and then give people the ability to amend it if they want to deduct stuff.

intuit does a lot of stuff besides tax preparation - bookkeeping software, payroll services, email marketing, and personal finance software to name a few - so they definitely wouldnt collapse over losing turbotax or wahtever.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Anecdotal ofc but teenagers I interact with tend to be way more concerned about normal teenage poo poo which is amplified by social media for sure. i think this is it but with the inability to escape or disconnect, that's probably driving a lot of mental health issues wrt kids and social media. like smartphones didn't exist when i was growing up. people who were mean to me in elementary and middle school basically could only do it at school. sure they could have called my house or something but that just gets the parents involved. if they were talking poo poo about me after school it was face to face or over the phone, utterly inaccessible to me. nowadays you can be mean to people on social media 24/7, and i can easily see a self-absorbed teenager wanting to scroll through a long public conversation with two or more people making fun of them. or you can much more easily see when people are hanging out without you, seeing people having fun that you're not having, etc. all of this is probably intensely bad for developing minds.

Willa Rogers posted:Do any of those protections cover ride-share drivers? non compete yes, leave no https://www.faegredrinker.com/en/in...ccrued%20hours. quote:Effective July 1, 2023, the new noncompete law prohibits any post-employment noncompete agreement with an employee or independent contractor regardless of a person’s income, with only two very limited carveouts for certain noncompetes agreed upon (1) in connection with the sale of a business or (2) in anticipation of the dissolution of a business. quote:Under the new law, all Minnesota employers, regardless of size, will be required to provide to almost all employees paid family and medical leave for up to 12 weeks with partial wage replacement related to a serious health condition and up to 12 weeks with partial wage replacement related to leave for pregnancy, bonding, safety, family care, or a military member's active-duty service or impending call to active duty in the United States armed forces, with a total combined cap of 20 weeks per year. The only exceptions for coverage are independent contractors, self-employed individuals, federal government employees and seasonal employees.

PhazonLink posted:hasnt it been proven its very traceable, and may in fact be more traceable. its just a matter of getting the LEOs to care. the blockchain and all transaction records are public and therefore extremely traceable. the issue is tying any particular wallet to a given person, particularly given that most cybercriminals are smart enough to at least try to launder illegal proceeds through a bunch of different wallets before they try to cash out.

here is my civilian understanding of discharges honorable: the best kind and also most common. you did a good job. general: you did not do a good job but didnt break any major rules other than honorable: you did something bad but not bad enough for a court martial bad conduct: you did something very bad and might go to army jail dishonorable: you did somethign extremely bad and almost certainly are going to army jail and then theres like medical and stuff.

Mellow Seas posted:“No apartments in my town - what about my land value???” the NIMBYs cry, in country where land value is correlated pretty much 1:1 with population density. i just looked on zillow and the only thing under 500k in huntington is: 60 year old 3/2 that needs to be completely gutted or torn down (360k), 1br apartment (430k), 50 foreclosure sale being sold as-is (430k), and empty lot (450k). you can see how more supply might disrupt this state of affairs (which, indeed, is the goal of building more houses).

Most other groups can point to a specific way they have been dicked over or benefited.
