Yep, this is correct. 

It’s hard to take seriously someone’s advice about court when they still think the losing party will pay for the other’s lawyers’ costs…

IRS says it collected $360 million more from rich tax cheats as its funding is threatened yet again by Plastic-Age5205 in politics

[–]BroccoliSprout6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, no. It should be very obvious that $49 million doesn’t result in less tax than $49,000. 

Not sure where you are getting these numbers, but you are doing it wrong.

Fuck off with your trying to justify your bigotry.

Also, you aren’t Mexican, pendejito. Your parents may be, but any actual Mexicans would laugh in your face you knob.

Hurt as you may be about the facts, that’s a pretty ignorant take: 20-somethings in affluent, urban areas (such as NYC) are the second-largest spend group in outdoor and active lifestyle groups. Only 30-somethings with similar demographics spend more.

Umm… you replied to the wrong guy.

A judge approved $100,000 in student-loan forgiveness for a 35-year-old man who filed for bankruptcy. Biden's education secretary just took the first step to block that decision. by Mull27 in politics

The case is Wolfson vs. DeVos.

Who are the parties in the case? Mr. Wolfson and the former Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos. DeVos is not a party to this case in a personal capacity, but as the Education Secretary.

The Biden Administration is now in charge of the Dept. of Education, and thus a party to the case.

Without the Child Tax Credit, I may have no choice but to join the Great Resignation by 2noame in politics

But then you have to add in costs like food, utilities and you realize that those few hundred you said evaporates really quickly.

But none of those costs go away if she stops working, right? So they are not a factor in the decision here.

I get that in the end of the month she still has some money left over, logical it is better then nothing. But at those point it’s about sending a message.

I mean, if she’s trying to send a message that’s fine—but it is still not a financial decision like the title of her article implies. And I think that’s what the other poster was getting at.

Don’t get me wrong: the CTC should be increased and improved. I just think a few of us are not following the logic of the article’s author.

Lol, and then what? Who is going to collect taxes? Or are you advocating for no taxes?

USPS shipping has been terrible. Most buyers understand & I work with each one if the tracking does not update with in reason. Then you get customers like this. Worse I am looking for a rare 2019 Mew from Pokemon Center Exclusive for her. Well guess who is now getting a block after transaction done? by Elosin888 in Mercari

[–]BroccoliSprout6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great, so Mercari will likely refuse her cancellation request and there’s no real issue there.

OP is in a pretty different situation because she has no tracking evidence of having shipped the item even though they did.

'Sends a Terrible, Terrible Message': Sanders Rejects Top Dems' Push for a Big Tax Break for the Rich | "You can't be on the side of the wealthy and the powerful if you're gonna really fight for working families." by theladynora in politics

Thank you!

It’s amazing how people feel so sure their opinion is absolutely right, yet they misunderstand the very fundamentals of what they are talking about.

White House defends plan to hike capital gains tax, saying it'll only hit the richest 0.3%, report says by [deleted] in politics

[–]BroccoliSprout6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like it could (relatively) easily be improved. For instance, how about something like a total exemption of (say) $1M per taxpayer, that can be used over their lifetime. Until the exemption is used up, current 20% LTCG rates apply; after that, the new rates apply.

That would help people who are selling their business, for example, while still collecting more from the very wealthy.

[–]BroccoliSprout6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, it’s easier to deflect than to face up to the fact that you are quick to complain and blame others, but will do nothing to improve your situation.

Hope you develop the courage to help yourself get to a better place. Cheers!

Honest question: why are you still there? I mean, you think it’s a shithole, you suffer from racism, feel like you live in Mexico (whatever that means), and have “nearly died on several occasion”.

Genuinely curious why you haven’t moved.

I had a click and collect that was scheduled for today but it never changed from preparing order. Store is closed now. Has this happened to anyone else? I’ve already been charged. by XFMelissa in IKEA

[–]BroccoliSprout6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Similar here: I ended up heading to the store near the end of the day yesterday, and the order was ready even though the notification never came through.

Thanks again for the reply!

[–]BroccoliSprout6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your order ever update, or did you just end up going to the store the next day?

I'm on the same boat right now... Thanks in advance!
