do you edit the file on tablets/phones too? how do you handle multimedia on those devices?

because the argument was that with UBI you would have a loss of income tax and since that is the only tax available to the government, you have a complete loss of tax. if you are shifting to a consumption tax, you would not have a loss.

does the US actually have federal VAT?

by bosie 7y ago
In Austria government collects more VAT than it does from income tax. Then you have property tax, car tax (an additional 20% to the already 20% VAT), drugs tax (alcohol, beer, cigarettes ...), gas/fuel tax, flight tax, capital gains ta

Regarding your first paragraph: At least in a lot of european countries, income tax isn't even the most lucrative tax for the government. Additionally quite a few working people aren't paying income tax. When you can deduct 13k fr

I guess i misunderstood surpression. Thought surpression is the early stages and not when you have been thouroughly infected already. "meaningful supply" was in the context of avoiding a lockdown and hence i don't undrestand

No, you probably can't. The assumption is that the testing population is currently biased towards more serious cases (e.g. if you are in the hospital you get tested. but if you are in the hospital, you have severe symptoms => higher

You aren't talking about the same thing though. the 9.25% death rate is a death rate of all tested people. Op is talking about X% of the population. The death rate is presumably lower because people aren't getting tested to the ri

how do the concentration camps in most european/russian/US countries factor into this? or do you consider those ethnicities/races as 'enemy civilians'?

Presumably cows are already being grown at reasonable rates though, they are just redirected to the restaurants. How does that work at the moment in the food industry when the wholesalers can't sell to their customers but still have th

Why would you need an attachment for this? Couldn't you 'refactor' the notes instead? Not sure that vendor lockin is worth it. The problem is worth solving but IMO you are going about it the wrong way.

indeed, i am on a mac. i dislike the attachment solution since that is a vendor lockin and you were mentioning lack of that. if i use attachments and special virtual paths like "@attachment" i restricted from editing my notes with

Not op but I appreciate the detailed rewrite. I do find your notes confusing though. The claim that your last sentence is more constructive seems a bit weak. what is constructive about it, you basically just derived a logical consequence th

a small percentage of a large number is still a large number. 80% infected within 1 year and ~10% of those require hospitalization. usa: 350m => 80% is 280M => ~30 million hospital/ICU beds for 2-4 weeks. this is on top of regu

Food for though: if you are asymptomatic and test positive, you self-isolate as to not spread the disease further. Same for when you are symptomatic but not showing symptoms yet. Point is to change the behavior of the individual.

by bosie 7y ago
if that is the case, it seems reasonable that it is indeed the majority. under your hypothesis the "majority that doesn't" isn't advising the government in the first place.

I am not sure how this is supposed to work. Should your team members check the calendar before they ping you? and if they get annoyed by your lack of responsiveness you point them to the calendar?

where did you get the 30-60 days from? is that also true if you are asymptomatic?

do you mind sharing some sources regarding the long term effect of covid-19? i am worried about it, especially since i haven't heard much about it so far (might be too early to tell). thanks.
