Most of them. I read a recent article that interviewed a holdout. I’m sure there are others.
If the developers could fix search, it would go a long way in improving Mastodon.
Does defending Israel include extending equal rights to Palestinians and allowing the right of return for refugees and their descendants? Netanyahu or not, I don’t think an apartheid state should be defended, especially with resources that could instead be used to help with domestic issues in the US.
Never post your resume or sign up for LinkedIn in the course of a job search? Never use a dating site? Never buy a domain? Never pay property taxes? Never go to court? I see your point, but never revealing your info online isn’t realistic or even a choice for most people.
No.
Lol wow.
Locking my account helped me cut down my Twitter usage a lot by making it pointless to reply in most cases.
I understand how having a higher income and tax rate in retirement makes a Roth attractive. However, the comparisons I’ve seen don’t fully account for the opportunity cost of paying the taxes up front in the case of a Roth, since a traditional IRA lowers your taxable income by the amount you contribute. This tax break allows for a greater contribution. In other words, I think a fairer comparison would show a greater initial contribution for a traditional IRA.
That is a helpful comparison, but it assumes the same initial contribution. I think a better comparison would assume a higher initial contribution with a traditional IRA in order to account for the money being paid in taxes with Roth as being a missed opportunity. The money that went to taxes in the case of a Roth could have been additional investment in the the case of a traditional.
I used to not have any doubts about a Roth, but I’ve been considering that maybe it’s a little too much like giving the government a free loan. Do you know if there’s a thorough comparison anywhere between a traditional and Roth IRA that takes into consideration the opportunity cost of paying tax on the contributions?
I’m not saying that talent, preference, or experience aren’t real or that people won’t naturally focus their efforts on certain activities. I’m saying that people shouldn’t have to effectively blackmailed into certain activities, whether they align with their preferences or not. I like being a mechanical engineer. I do not like that I have to do it for forty plus hours a week, 49 weeks out of the year. Getting rid of occupations means that I would not be penalized if I decided to cut back on engineering and devote some real time to things that actually matter to me, my family, and my neighbors.
A tenuous argument could be made that Israel and the US are the same country. Is that what you are getting at?
For most people, having an occupation means giving up roughly half of your waking hours, as well as a toll on your body and mind, to the minority class that happens to own the things needed to do this occupation in exchange for wages. These wages are required to buy the necessities for the rest of your life from this same minority class. Getting rid of occupations means ending this relationship so that we no longer have to support the exorbitant lifestyles and cruel whims of this minority class. It means putting us in control of the value we create with our labor and not wasting it on the likes of telemarketing, car dealing, or denying health insurance claims.
Yeah, but who cares about the camel? How are you going to move all this straw now?
I wonder which country will be next to carry out a nuclear strike, Russia or Israel.
All of them. Abolish occupations.
I wonder if Netanyahu’s position is tenuous enough that assassinations of key political allies might lead to his outster and arrest, and then to overall destabilization. Maybe they’re just too well protected or too numerous.
Trying again doesn’t necessarily mean trying again right away.
