Unless I’ve misunderstood, what OP proposed is just increasing the tax rate of the existing system.
A progressive tax doesn’t result in earning less for working harder; it’s only the marginal income that’s taxed at the higher rate. So a worker who goes from making $50,000 to $60,0000 only pays 15% tax on $10,000 and has a net take home increase of $8,500.
Thanks for the offer - I used to live in Philly, so have seen a few around. I stumbled on my first while walking through a sketchy part of Port Richmond.
I would not have guessed that source of your name - after reading the Toynbee tiles Wikipedia page I would have guessed the historian, Bradbury story, or Clarke story.
It was the Toynbee tile connection for me. Something that I look for while traveling.
I’m glad you got it sorted and your kid is doing well. They seem pretty damn resilient.
Love your username, btw.
Was this to fix a tongue tie? I’m not sure if it was the surgery or some other factor, but ours started breastfeeding after having the procedure. The post-surgery “exercises” were the worst though - basically massaging a newborn’s recently separated skin twice a day was not pleasant for anyone.
That’s a cool project - good luck and update us on how it turns out.
Here in the US, high strength (95%) ethanol is widely available. We would occasionally do shots of it when I was (much) younger.
To you, what is the difference between the moon being turned into a black hole and being replaced by a black hole with the same mass?
I’m a simple man; I see reconstructed Proto-Indo-European, I upvote.
The job posting uses the word “obsess” twice - no frigging thank you
