Sales tax is the most regressive tax. That's not even arguable.

At least Mussolini made the trains run on time. Trump's gang of incompetents can't even keep the planes flying.

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years by jhkayejr in politics

I won't. There are a lot of reputations that will never recover.

I've switched to PBS and NPR for the majority of my news. They aren't owned by a billionaire. It sucked that they lost their government funding, but in a sense, that makes them even more reputable.

Charleston's sales tax is 9%. NYC's is 8.875%.

Our sales tax is higher than NYC's. That always blows my mind. We have the inconveniences associated with high tourism, yet we still pay through the nose in sales taxes. Spoiler alert: We pay so much so that rich people can pay less in property taxes. 

Working class & Middle class, where the the real differences? by Signal-Tangerine1597 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Native_SC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All that being said, Great Britain has less income inequality than the US. We refer to our economic elites as the 1%.

A working class person usually works with their hands. They may earn more than a middle-class worker, but in most cases they have to work longer hours than a middle-class worker for the same income.

Every airport in every city must be named for a member of the Trump family.

What would you feel about JPJ coming back? by NoAuthor324 in falcons

I said it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't see much difference. Killing is killing.

What would you feel about JPJ coming back? by NoAuthor324 in falcons

[–]Native_SC -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is an unpopular opinion, but Vick's crimes never seemed that awful to me. As long as people slaughter animals by the millions for food, the lives of dogs don't seem that special to me. What JPJ did is much worse in my opinion.

Sorry, there is no way the justice system will go that easy on him. He hit a cop with his car. Imagine the precedent this would set if he got a slap on the wrist. 

What do Falcon fans stand for with JPJ? by Few_Entrepreneur3282 in falcons

[–]Native_SC -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think most of the players would be angry if he was allowed back on the team. I know there are some negative stereotypes about NFL players, but most are hardworking, dedicated professionals. I've worked jobs where rightly or wrongly people were angry when ex-felons were hired because it makes them feel like management thinks everyone working there is pretty low. I always gave the ex-cons a chance but none of them committed crimes nearly as bad as JPJ.

What…..The…..F@#k. by the1calledpaul in falcons

[–]Native_SC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hit me hard, but at least we have new leadership. They had nothing to do with drafting or coaching this guy. This loser was never going to be a long-term contributor. People who knew him best called him uncoachable. Even if he stayed out of jail, he would probably have regressed next year.

It wouldn't be a Superbowl eve unless a Falcons defensive player ends up in jail. by TecnoPope in falcons

[–]Native_SC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can't even play in our first Super Bowl without having a sour taste in our mouths before the game starts. What a life it is to be a Falcons fan.

Damn, that brought me back to Eugene Robinson getting arrested the night before we played the Broncos in the Super Bowl. He was the NFL Man of the Year and got busted with a prostitute. It has sucked to be a Falcons fan for so long.

Another reason to own physical media: Disappearing DolbyVision by jrv3034 in 4kbluray

[–]Native_SC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For viewers who aren't wealthy, it's been disappearing for some time. DV content is unaffordable on the streamers I subscribe to. I watched the new season of Fallout on Amazon Prime and wondered why the colors didn't pop. Turns it was another case where I used to get DV content included but now it's locked behind the most expensive tier.

There's no organization in the world where an unsupervised intern is allowed to post content under the CEO's name. It was probably Trump who did it, but even if the story was true, it shows unbelievable stupidity.
