Okay so it is in effect completely meaningless. Because roughly 40% of households get money withheld from their paycheck and they file a tax return. In that tax return they will receive a refund equal to or greater than what they had withhe

I don't see how they define what an average US taxpayer is. Is this the US taxpayer (all people who worked and paid any form of tax pre credit) paid an average of $5,000 each? Is it that those who actually paid taxes (post credit) paid

Because it's a volume manager, raid, local file system, Network file system, etc... you get the idea. It's all of the things wrapped up into one package. I'm not saying whether that's a good or a bad idea but it is a dep

I do think there's reasons for this that people aren't accounting for. It started before covid but only in small amounts but after covid a lot of people's job mindset has shifted. Post covid a lot of people realized they did

This is bizarre to me especially since there's no details on the actual ruling, if there was one, or if it was just a settlement. On face value it seems that deeply held religious beliefs, whatever that is, can be used to justify any c

This is true in a statistical sense. The reason why people do this is when getting on a plane you have a total lack of control of your surroundings. You are not allowed to inspect the maintenance records you are not allowed to determine the

What's wrong with me viewing the business as a way for me to personally build wealth? I want to do a good job and I want to do the best of my abilities but I cannot care more than the management infrastructure does. The entire purpose

Require in the strange new definition of the word require. I've always read a requirements as in things that are required to be done. I know that's using a word to define a word but we all know what the word requirement means but

I support the right to repair but I'm worried about how this law is written. What exactly do they mean by pairing restrictions. Not in a general sense but in a very specific technical sense this matters. Because sometimes companies put

Users voluntarily install an app that spies on them because they want money. How is this news? Maybe it's news to the people who never installed the app and maybe the methods that were used were interesting but if it was voluntary even

My response to that is that truth-twisters, through most of human history, have been able to spread their information at the same speed as those who speak the truth. Considering recent history though there is one important thing that many p

Hire people to enforce the "good speak" and not free speech. How does no one see a problem with politicians deciding what can be said and not said or what can have scary flags on it in the course of a political discussion? Has lit

I'm not sure I agree with step one in an absolute sense like they put it. In general sense yes it's a very good idea, but if you have an interest rate that's less than inflation and other ways to make money that is more than

I'm not sure this is a new paradigm or a new rethinking of love. Here's something written 2000 years ago. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it i

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying here, so let me be clear. I don't believe that the US government is in actual possession of alien technology. I also don't believe that we have been visited by advanced ali
