TopicEdge case, but wouldn't people in NYC making 1M-1.019M be making less?

I can't be bothered to take half a day to look up the details, but this is highly unlikely.

Tax rates are nearly always marginal, and no marginal tax rate system can have the backward result of pre-tax income goes up means post-tax income goes down.

Of course, Republicans have been telling their brain-dead base exactly this lie for decades now, so it's pretty much a lost cause.
His website doesnt make it seem marginal
https://www.zohranfornyc.com/platform

And he will tax the wealthiest 1% of New Yorkersthose earning above $1 million annuallya flat 2% tax

Yeah but were not all trying to remove bad things about ourselves, or even really think of them as bad. Or we prioritize fixing some things over others.

like I create more food waste than I would like, but Im much more concerned about fixing my alcoholism. Ill go ahead and just accept the food thing for now while I work on some other stuff.

I just dont like the idea. If Im gone I want all of me gone. Unless you can like, preserve my brain to clone me or put me in a robot. But at that point lets just do that now. You can take all my organs and upload me to the cloud.

Neither am I. Doesn't make us bad people.
It makes us at least a little selfish.

Glob posted...
It is undeniably selfish not to be one, but if it helps you feel better to claim it doesnt make you a bad person, whatever.
I dont usually think one thing makes someone good or bad (obvious exceptions for things that are absolutely fucking insane like saving kids from a burning building or mass murder). This is a push towards bad, for sure, but I dont think it makes me a bad person.

I am very aware of the bad rep tho. My wife hates that Im not a donor.

Its like THE most important issue to most Americans (I know not everyone here is American) but Im personally lucky enough to be a DINK household where we save a good amount of our money (20-30%). We already bought pricey groceries another two dollars for eggs isnt going to kill us <_<

Not to say I dont care shout inflation at all but I think I worry about it less than other issues like healthcare, childcare, infrastructure, immigration, water rights, food safety, inequality, democracy

Is inflation a top priority for you?

mainly due to them trying to make this a safe space for people of all beliefs maga and not maga.

no one is too extreme or hateful to be welcomed here ;)

the mods definitely did not suppress political speech in response over outrage about Israel. It was to give Trump guys a chance

been trying to lose weight this year (35lbs lost so far) and had some blood labs done. Doctor sent me the results asking me to make an appointment to talk about my cholesterol levels.

is this really bad? I did some googling and obvs this is not optimal but am I at really high risk of dying? Is my doctor likely to put me on medication? Ive already changed a lot of my diet this year, is there something else I should be doing?

in a family group text, my nephew (13yo) responded to a message about growing watermelons with an AI generated image of a white guy in blackface eating watermelon.

I did a thumbs down react and said that was racist imagery, and he responded that he was sorry and didnt know it was bad, just thought it was a silly picture that matched the convo. Whatever. Maybe it was, maybe it wasnt, but at least he apologized.

Anyway his mom (my sister) told me a little later that he was crying because he was so embarrassed, and my mom called and told me I was too hard on him for not knowing that blackface and watermelon stereotypes were a thing. Also several people in the group text were like its okay we know you didnt mean it dont be sorry.

And like yeah, mistakes happen and ignorance is a real thing especially for young people, but that doesnt make it okay. Like you should be kind of embarrassed, right? And its not like I yelled at him or even lectured him about it. I literally just said it was inappropriate and racist.

Itll blow over but its annoying to be the bad guy for calling it out
