not if you still pay the tax by April 1st.

I make my work file me as tax exempt (over a decade doing this, IRS never audited me). No state or federal income taxes are taken out of my paycheck all year. I file around feb, let it total what I owe then cut the state and fed a check for those amounts; actually ends up being cheaper. For example, they take 80 a paycheck in fed and 20 state totaling 100/check * 26 checks = $2,600 the gov't would take over the year. Whereas, I don't pay and in feb, the filing shows I owe $1,500 fed and $120 state = $1,620 total. I have a dependent if that helps for the calculations. This should work for everyone though but you need to compare what you paid versus what you got 'refunded' to see if your refund is less than what the total year paid (aka the gov't is keeping some of your $$).

note: in order to pay what is owed, you must save at least 2k (or what the calc says you may owe) w/o spending it.

Guadalupe, AZ had biden and trump signs on way home. Next morning, someone had cut the trump signs and tossed them aside. Drove home, trump signs back, next morning, same thing. After about a week of seeing this, I stopped seeing the trump signs go back up.

It appears to me that the reason all seen was biden is because people were illegally removing the trump signs.

entirely possible traitors are being removed and trump will still step down on the 20th for biden. But, biden won't have that "support" structure anymore.

In Arizona, our teachers went on strike because they didn't make enough. Even the news at the time said wit was ridiculous because the lowest paid teacher in the state made 65K/yr. The gov got them to go back to school with promise of 10K/yr increase for most and others over a two year period.

65K/yr is plenty to survive on in this state. Once you make 45K/yr or more in AZ, its your fault if you have no savings.

'CloudFlare caved and fucked over 8chan.'

Only because content on 8chan broke US law and 8chan refused to resolve it.

Cloudflare won't remove you if you don't break US law.

firewalls become irrelevant when you allow logmein and solarwinds orion on your servers.

'Wouldn't a properly configured VPN look like "the internet" to a PC?'

At some point, a server is connected to the internet to download security updates.

If that pc is connected to a network that uses a vpn to the server and that server is connected to a datacenter then its connected to the internet by proxy.

to give an example:

file share server - Domain controller - Server running WSUS (security updates) <---on the internet

The WSUS server connects to the other servers.

Alternatively, they could use something else to download the updates then release it to the servers, however, it is still connected to the internet by proxy. A hacker connects at the internet connected device then navigates throughout until it connects to the one doing the updates then connects to the one doing the domain controlling then connects to the file share server. From both the dc and file share the hacker can connect to that desktop. Sure, the argument is the desktop and server connection is a VPN, well, the hacker owns the server and the vpn is always on. THe vpn is irrelevant. hacker gets into the desktop. The desktop connects to the counter. hacker owns the counter.

However, its been shown that all the counted data was uploaded to a server. All the hacker needs is the server hosting the data.

i've seen pictures showing desktops and laptops unlocked with outlook open. Outlook caches, by default, six months of emails on the local disk. If they every changed it or had IT change it to all then every single email sent and received is on that disk as an ost file. Also, if any of them had administrator rights on the computers then all someone needed to do with the laptop is turn off bitlocker and add their own local admin account. Never connect it again to the internet and you have unlimited access to it.

while those computers were unlocked, the people sitting there could have downloaded shared drive folders to the local disk as well. When I was watching, there were people in there for at least two hours, which is quite a bit of data you could locally download.
