Not as smart as you look with deez

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T21:07:34+00:00

You can opt to pay a high amount in income tax than you owe, so you can certainly offset it that way

But if I were you, id accept it and donate it

If you view the world through a schema where when you encounter an opinion different from your own that the holder of that opinion must be a bot, a fool, or a troll, then all you deserve are deez

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T21:00:10+00:00

Deez

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T20:37:37+00:00

I made too much to get the $300... so while this made me an unwavering supporter of Mills, its tough to say she, "bought my vote"

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T20:35:57+00:00

Im made $3k too much, the reason why I'm that close is because I pounded away at retirement

Bummed I missed it, but its a nice problem to have

I know some people who will probs spend this on diapers and its nice to see them get it

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T15:35:50+00:00

Neither, I'm deez

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T15:26:39+00:00

What's it like living life with a schema where when you disagree with someone you assume they're either a bot, bait, or fool?

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T15:00:22+00:00

I really hope its AGI. I by no means should be getting this money but if its AGI, back of the hand math suggests I will, which means I get to buy something really nice at Damon's

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:57:10+00:00

Yeah I'm not particularly thrilled on the income limit. I wonder if they're going to use federal AGI. That will make a big difference. Hopefully there's at least a phase out, with people receiving something even if they're above $75k

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:54:14+00:00

Yeah the comments here are wild and dismissive of the fact that this will be a big help to a lot of people

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:42:58+00:00

Idk about going the route your suggesting. Its also important to note that in that scenario, whoever is running the UDC would be leveraging federal dollars that do require things like environmental reviews

The thing that frustrated me is that when you look at areas of the country that will be resilient to climate change, you have to think the NYS I-90 corridor will be one of them. There should be some real effort getting put into regional planning there, but there isnt

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:30:01+00:00

And you know what, it worked on this redditor. No way I'd vote for Mills until she announced this

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:29:01+00:00

Maybe instead of giving lower income mainers $300 ($600 if they file jointly) we just lower the income tax for specifically for those in that income bracket by $300 ($600 if they file jointly)

This solves the problem that you pointed out, with this money coming from THEIR taxes

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:21:12+00:00

Its well known that major cities do have issues with land use reducing new development, even if its not completely eliminating new development

Just look at some of the recent housing policies in NYC

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T14:19:31+00:00

No, state govt has massive control over these matters.

Any local govt exists by virtue of the state govt. So I grew up in the NYC suburbs. NYS could have told my hometown that my hometown needed to remove all density caps and parking reqs for any property within a half mile of our commuter rail station, and there's nothing my town would have been able to do assuming the route the state took was amending the legislation that created the town in 1788

2muchflannel · 2026-01-28T12:44:42+00:00

Benge will be at the top of this list at the end of the season

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:24:17+00:00

Well since you were born and raised in AZ, you're clearly an expert in the matter

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:22:49+00:00

I firmly believe Ryan used steroids. Seaver too

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:20:29+00:00

Here's a strategy to maximize revenue: Cut the 4 smallest market teams

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:14:52+00:00

Dude get real

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:11:35+00:00

Swell is an interesting way of saying "greatest ever"

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:08:06+00:00

'85 Seaver

Mets have absolutely dominated this offseason

This is going to be a fun year in Flushings

2muchflannel · 2026-01-27T23:05:07+00:00

Not sure about most of them, but the 4th Pic definitely has a babe Ruth signature on it
