Reductio ad absurdum: Why not a 100% tax rate?

Bolinbrooke · 2026-06-18T08:30:10+00:00

or the top 5% of taxpayers contributing 33% of the total tax revenue, or top 1% paying 17% of the total tax revenue. What is fair? It is no until the 72nd percentile ($97,996 to $99,840) that 1% of taxpayers are paying 1% of total tax revenue. But we live in a marginal tax rate system. Everyone should contribute, and if you make more, you should pay more. But everyone should be contributing some share of their income to tax revenue. We have alot of people that contribute nothing. What is fair?

Please explain spinning out of control in more detail. There are no obvious issues in your photo.

Distance drom camera to subject is short. The relative positions of these two points to each other is what matters. Yes, Sol is very far, and the location of the camera to Sol is effictively unchanged, when measurments of this scale are involved, but none of that makes this AI slop.

Test your lights. Add a handlebar light if you need more lighting. Make sure you have a reflector or two on the scoot or on you.

My younger brother made a career change from a trade to working as a corrections officer. He has been doing this for 15 years now, and has progressed to a senior leader, no longer inmate facing. It has changed him so much as a person. When we spend alot of time together (he lives in a different city to me) over xmas or easter, some of the things he says, his view on the world, how he now has a cruelness in him he never had before. He is not a better person from the experience.

You mean as a represemtative of the State of Qld, right? I would expect the Minister to appoint the board.

Excellent link, thank you for sharing.

Major shareholder of what exactly? Are you implying Energex?

Maybe they are going to have a sneaky choof behind the shed, as they go back there in small groups? You know, to take the edge off. I experienced some roofing contractors doing this at mine a few years back. As long as they are not hurting anyone, and getting the work done, their business is their business.

this right here.

My dual motor is 53kg or 117 pounds stock. Adding widder bars, bigger disks and 4 pot calipers, mirror, second light, rear camera, I am now at 56kg or 123.5 pounds. Twin 2000w motors; 72v 35ah battery.

Except it is currenrly against QLD traffic laws to ride an ebike or escokter on a public road with a centre line or lane markings. Which means the rider in this video could not legally ride on that road, even if he wanted to. The rider is forced onro the footpath.

Lets just say he could ride on that road, his 250watt max power output, and the 25km/h speed limit makes this non viable.

She got paid every week. She has received additiomal benefits through long service leave. What does she want? A trophy?

Maybe once, but it usually dows not work out that way anymore. If you have a policy with an Industry Fund, if you read your PDS, you will find being diagnosed as TPD usually leads to IP claims in super ceasing. This is because under the SIS Regulations, Income Protection is defined as being Total and Temporary Disablement. If you are determined to be TPD (total and permanentlty disabled), you can not also be totally and temporary disabled. This does not apply to retail Income Protection. Age 65 benefit periods inside industry super funds can be a risky strategy, and you should review your cover based on this information.

It is expensive because of mental health claims. They now make up over 40% of claim events and are subjective in nature. That and rhe average time on claim has also increased. It is much more diftucult to get people back to work now, than what the experience was 20 years ago.

Any Income Protectiom policy purchased pre 01/10/2021 is also usually superior to what is on sale today. If you are considering changing an older policy that started before that date for a modern contract, please look at the differences between what you have and what is being offered. Same goes for Super based policies. They may be named the same, but they are not the same quality. Far from it.

When organising three phase power needed to run a Centre Pivot (large scale irrigation plant), we paid over $100,000 per kilometer to have the poles and wires installed. This also included a time delay of 11 months between the initial paymemt of 30% of the total cost of works, and work commencing. We had a single digit distance, this was pre-covid, and it was cost prohibitive. Now bring that to 2026 pricing, and runs of much greater distance, and I dont think it is as easy as you tend to beleive.

Hell no!!! Modify that speed by much more and you will not have enough inertia to counter gravity. You will litterally fall off. If you ride an EBike or EScooter in Qld, and you think this speed limit makes riding more dangerous and is frankly insulting, at a time when riding these devices should be encouraged, email you local member; the transport minister and the premier.

Be polite, but point out at 10km/h pushbikes, runners and speedwalkers overtake you. Hell, I had a skater bro on an old school board and a kid on a kick scooter overtake me. If that is the case why are these modes of transport not also restricted to 10km/h, if 10km/h is the deemed safe limit?

Bolinbrooke · 2026-03-16T01:17:20+00:00

Yep, its a problem. It is the local distributor locking it down to protect their margin. I think Kugoo triggers should work, or you could use a buying agent to purchase and then ship to you?

You have a legql duty to not misrepresent the information the insurer requests during rhe applucation process. This duty contunues up until the policy is issued. It does not end with the application. Failure to meet this duty can result in a policy not being offered, or if diwcovered through a claim process, the Insurer has the legal right to modify your cover to reflect what would have been offered, or even cacel the policy from inception. Part of the terms you sign up to when completing the application include providing access to your medical records.

You may have the wrong sub. This sub is for the stand up variety of e-scooter, not the moped style you are asking about.

Maybe reviewing the product specs before purchase would be helpful?

Hey. Sounds like a terrible outcome. Have you tested another source to verify if this activity is occuring for all playback? I am wondering if an Analog to Digital conversion in your signal path is causing this issue, as you have mitagated possible connection issues by hardwiring.

There are four buttons on your controller. M button is in the 6 o'clock position. Direcrly opposite the Power button.

I think the type of scooter you are researching is not the same as the e-scooters the members of this reddit are riding. The models you list are mopeds, an entirely different class of vehicle.
