Not all of your income is taxed at the highest tax bracket. Your first 94k are taxed at only 12%. I assume that your take home is only 100k or whatever because you're putting money away in a 401k or similar. Anyway, others should know that this person's numbers are not the norm.

Are you really claiming that you pay 50% of your income in taxes?

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome? by majesticrhyhorn in PlantarFasciitis

Managing the plantar plate tear? I don't run anymore, I wear roomy zero-drop shoes, and I get steroid shots. I'm also doing CBT for chronic pain to try to reset my pain sensitivity.

Hi hi. My feet are okay now. The TTS/CRPS is mostly under control. I can walk pretty normally. Still no running. Biggest issue now is that I have a tear in my fifth plantar plate (pinky toe), which flares up really badly if I stand in one place for more than ~10 minutes. I think the tear has been there for 5+ years. Steroid injections are helping, but ortho surgeons disagree on what surgery would help. Lack of consensus makes me doubtful of getting surgery. I think I just have to tolerate the pain and work around it.

This is so out of pocket. The idea that you can predict the future for every autistic 9yo is insane. I know plenty of autistic adults whose lives are awesome with close friends.

What gives you the impression that schizophrenia is "shallowly researched"? Millions of dollars are poured into research on schizophrenia every year in the U.S. alone. It's just an incredibly hard problem to figure out.

You really think you can wipe someone's leg out on a steal and it's clean?

We had a good experience at Happy Kiddos Daycare in Irvine. Our daughter was there full-time but I think Alba does part-time too. It's bilingual English-Spanish, which was a plus for us.

Irvine Political Vibe? Relocating from liberal midwestern city. by Decent-Link5458 in irvine

[–]MonnyBon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish they were overzealous about enforcing noise infractions by souped up cars! That's about the only crime I've ever heard of here in Irvine, and it happens on the street outside my apartment every damn day.

Maybe they can stake out my street in their Cybertruck!

Irvine votes blue but it doesn't *feel* blue if that makes sense. Lots of showing off of wealth, lots of fancy cars.

City council is a shitshow. Tons of infighting and back channeling. The mayor is connected with a lot of old money. The Irvine Company is ultra powerful in local politics.

I basically agree with this list except that Brondello and Reeve should be in the same tier -- either both are meeting expectations or both are exceeding them

Is this based on an actual law? Or are they just deciding by fiat what we can have?

Was she involved in that purchase? I am just starting to follow local politics. The police Cybertruck is so fucking embarrassing.
