It’s not a threat, it’s a plea.

plus having fewer dishes to wash can be extremely motivating, lol

Yes, it motivates me to order takeout

Counterpoint: anyone paying any amount of social security tax is part of the working class, even if they’re making $5M/yr. Increasing taxes on the working class isn’t going to solve wealth unequally. We need to tax wealth.

No, it’s far cheaper to scan a stack of loose papers than it is to scan a bound book, that’s why they’re cutting the pages out. And most of the books aren’t that valuable, even if they’re rare. So it’s an accounting decision to destroy the books.

It will never generate something novel. Whether it will generate something “new” depends on your definition of “new,” which is a little more ambiguous than “novel.”

Sorry if I’m being too pedantic.

That’s all true, but I’m not sure if you’re disagreeing with something I said or supporting it?

As long as the withdraw rate is based on contribution rate it doesn’t really matter what the cap is, because you’d be increasing withdrawal along with contributions. Social security income for someone who was making $185k/yr will be far more than enough to keep them out of poverty, which is the goal of social security. It’s not meant to be people’s only retirement account, it’s a safety net.

IIRC both employee A and B will also get the same payout from Social Security, assuming both of their salaries were at that level (at the cap or higher) for most of their careers.

Just looking at social security tax will never give you the full picture though, it’s just a small fraction of overall income taxes. And it misses the fact that wealthy people increase their wealth through other means, like long term capital gains. Someone making $100M per year through investments probably won’t work a day job and will therefore pay $0 social security tax.

Although that might be more of an offensive umbrella…

YouTube is digital cinematography, not digital photography.

Maybe he took too much downers and though the crack would pick him back up? He might not have even smoked any before he passed out.

300,000 years ago ancient humans were born just as intelligent as any of us born today.

This isn’t true, and it would have taken you very little effort to verify it before posting.

Same reason Jeeps have more ground clearance and suspension travel than they need to operate on public roads. Some people use their vehicles for both transportation and recreation.

No, investors do. Some investors only buy property in the city they live in, but a lot of investors buy property wherever they think they can make a profit.

You moved the “H”

No, most people haven’t heard of it, but you’ve probably used it because it used to be integrated into a lot of apps that everyone has heard of.

No, it just means that the camera person doesn’t belong to the subset of H that makes up the orgy. You can have an orgy in the same room as someone who isn’t fucking - proximity isn’t an issue.

My grocery store usually has a box or 2 at the top front that’s mostly full of cracked eggs from people swapping. So yeah, psychos. At least grab from the middle of the pile if you aren’t checking each egg.

Wow, talk about moving the goal posts. Do you really think anyone on Lemmy is pro-ICE?

The kid returned home with brain damage, IIRC. Has that happened to anyone accused of vandalizing the pool?
