Dude you're amazing. This is what makes us pedes, hundreds of little legs each doing what they can.
Yakima is quite country. Opposite end of the state from Seattle.
No, that's very standard for government decisions. Admin law / due process requires appeal rights.
Used to listen to it for hours 15 years ago when I was working in a law library. Got me through the day. Used to have actual news reporting (and cute game shows). Remember Car Talk? That was fantastic. Now it's just the usual diversity power hour crap now.
I grew up in Seattle (well, a nice island suburb). It wasn't always this bad, but it's always been left of center. We grew up having to lay down in little boxes on the classroom floor to feel what it would have been like to be slaves lol. I think that was 4th grade?
Influx of tech losers.
I found that so funny when I was reading down the list. WHAT? Housecleaning??
I think people forget Elon Musk was raised in SOUTH AFRICA until he was 17. He knows this shit when he sees it.
He's usually a fat slob, too.
No lie, I once dated a woke girl (this was like 7 years ago, when "woke" was just starting to really metastasize and hadn't become this raging monster), that wanted to be a doctor. Why? So she could tell people what to do. Because she knows better than them. She's an osteopath now. Couldn't even get into regular med school.
Yeah, it's like IRA deduction eligibility phase out. The amount credited (in other words your payment) will be reduced by 5% of the amount you are over $75,000 AGI. In other words, for every $1000 you're over $75,000, your check is reduced by $50, until it hits zero.
That's how it works, though, and why I thought Yang was a weird (but interesting) Democrat candidate. Of course he only said it once in a while in his talks, but the end goal of UBI is that you dismantle all welfare programs EXCEPT UBI. UBI becomes the entire safety net. We've got about 270mm people over 18... and mandatory spending is currently about 2.7T. So there you go lol.
Of course, like you said, the people currently getting their gibs would never want to part with them, they just want more.
