How Trump or Harris tax plans might change your income
  • Don't forget 2016 when Trump said he was going to cut taxes for all Americans and the plan Congress pushed through raised taxes on average by 4000 a year for middle and working class incomes. But the super rich got back millions and millions.

    The habits of successful people
  • If you make a couple million dollars as a middle class person, without familial connections, you've at best committed fraud on a massive scale, or been involved in something highly illegal.

    Median income in the US is between 37K and 80K depending where you look and what figures you use. At 80K, it would take a person 12.5 years to make a million dollars. That's not paying taxes, not paying living expenses, and generally somehow living in a bubble where you owe nothing and get to keep 100% of the check. In a more realistic scenario where half that income is taxed or expended on living expenses, that's 25 years per million.

    Between inflation and price gouging by vendors and retailers of popular products, nobody alive today with a middle class job is ever going to have a hope of saving up a million dollars, there is no 'lifestyle' choices a person can make even with a well paying job that's ever going to see them become a millionaire in their lifetime, let alone a multimillionaire without fraud or illegal activity.

    Lily Allen Makes More Money from OnlyFans Than Spotify
  • Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:

    What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?

    Trump signals support in call with Netanyahu: ‘Do what you have to do’
  • Surely the tankies will take notice of fhis and... Ha, no. They still say Kamala supports genocide despite her being the only candidate pushing for peace.

    When RTX 5090 is realesed...
  • I went 7900XTX instead of a 40XX Nvidia GPU and couldn't have been happier. Not the cheapest thing on the market but yet to encounter something it can't run to my standards.

    Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’
  • Little column a, little column b. He also routinely ignored their advice when it came to basically anything. He bought his own propaganda hard, insisting german troops go on suicide missions or follow timetables that weren't realistic even with the entire division on meth.

    What ancient danger did we evovle defensive instincts and predatory fears of?

    White House says health insurance needs to fully cover condoms, other over-the-counter birth control
  • Health Insurance needs to not exist and Universal Healthcare juts cover all the stuff people need to stay healthy and live productive lives. From sexual healthcare to mental healthcare and of course medicine and anything else you'd need to see a doctor or medical professional for.

    Trump Media Whistleblower Blasts Company for Outsourcing Jobs Abroad as Betrayal of “America First”
  • The cheapskate nepotist who has better relationships with dictators from authoritarian regimes than statesman from his own country is absolutely full of shit when it comes to giving Americans the best deal possible. The fact that the USMCA didn't turn into a dumpster fire was over Trump's own protestations to things the negotiators forced in to not yank the rug out from consumers.

    We're still dealing with the after effects of his numerous Trade Wars and unjust Tariffs. Anyone thinks Trump gives a damn about American workers needs to wake up and stop drinking the kool-aid.

    It's a central part of any relationship
  • I hope you like documentaries about completely random shit from politics of a foreign nation over 300 years ago, to how an obscure campaign of a war over a hundred years ago was fought, a full biography of a fictional character and what events they may have been witness to, to a plethora of asmr things as background noise, engineering deep dives and video game related content.
