Everyone overcharges when it’s a government contract, which is annoying enough because everyone acts like it’s not their money that they’re stealing, but this is just obscene.

Smart IT departments do this with Windows upgrades too. Even though Microsoft is usually very good about backwards compatibility, it’s always smart to test these things before you upgrade 500 computers.

Aren’t there arrest warrants against George W. Bush from like 20 years ago? This is just more talk that won’t be backed up by any meaningful action because of how trivially easy it is to avoid going to these countries.

… welp = “it’s over, make peace with your god”

“You can’t spare one square!?”

Gmail would like a word

Given the root of the problem is “religion” this may not be as simple as we want it to be.

Yeah but take the small wins where you can get them. This is a good thing and we should celebrate even if for a short moment.

Literally the exact same problem Trump had during COVID. Fauci was giving press briefings every day and we all loved him for it. Problem was we loved him more than Trump and that’s when Trump just had to have the spotlight once again.

Gets rid of the expensive employees who won’t follow the rules and leaves openings for fresh graduates and employees who need the job. It’s a win-win for these businesses!

Meanwhile the remote work opportunities are becoming more and more competitive as RTO reduces the pool of available remote jobs. It’s hard enough to compete against 300 people applying in the first day (literally in some cases, it’s insane!), this only makes it worse.

The total number is even in the first paragraph. Not the best summary I’ve ever seen.

Liam Neeson tried eating Trix and got his ass beat.

Stay safe OP!

Feeling kinda neutral on this one. Nice that it’s added but I always liked that Nintendo games didn’t have these. I can just tell people I beat the SMS Plinko game.

As long as there are people for whom streaming compression isn’t acceptable, there’ll be a market for Bluray movies/TV shows.

Making a web browser that’s fully compatible with modern standards is not easy nor cheap (and worse it’s a moving target because the standards keep evolving). I’m rooting for these folks but eventually money will be an issue.

free filing would discriminate against the poor

As opposed to the current system where the richest among us can hire a whole team of accountants to find every deduction possible?

You’re acting like the filing that would come from the government would be the final record and you wouldn’t be allowed to correct it, which is not at all what people are suggesting.

Plus, audits will still be a thing.

Doubt there is one. The hard truth is that most Americans’ taxes are pretty simple and straightforward. We can stop pretending that copying some boxes from a W2 and a 1099 is difficult.

I mean, personally I wish we’d stop pretending that the IRS isn’t already fully aware of what you owe and could just do the filling for you, like in other countries, but until Grover Norquist fucks off forever we’re stuck where we are.

McConnell has already said

Let me stop you right there, because this man has already shown his word doesn’t mean anything. It shifts with the political winds.

Democrats have to win in a lot of red states this time around. I’d be over the moon if that happened, but maybe we should have a backup plan in case Democrats lose in Ohio, Montana and Texas.

I’d say it’s fine to be an investment for individuals and families. You should be able to at least break even on something you owned for 3 decades that’s still in good shape.

But that’s all. No LLCs or S Corps or any of that shit. People should own homes!
