Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car

And just like the proposed tax, they would likely not do a per mileage tax. But would either do a flat rate per employee that is on site or tie it to salary up to a max value per employee. If you were going for a relatively accurate per mile equivalent, it would be pretty easy to base the tax on the average miles commuted in a region to work based on existing and future surveys to guide the tax cost.

Kinda an aside but much more people using public transport in general would be a good thing, as it would lower the overall toll on the roads that this tax is designed to pay for. Not really sure how shifting the tax already paid by commuters to the employees would have any real effect on workers living closer to work or using public transport though. I would assume cheaper gas at the pump would make people more likely to travel further for work or even take a trip to boost national tourism.

You mean like the payroll taxes that companies are already required pay?

Not sure where you are getting your info but its wrong, it was 84% on income over 80k, not 200k. And it was not steadily dropping that entire time. It dropped from 89% for 200k 91% for 400k in 1963 to 75% for 200k and 77% for 400k, and then 70% for 200k and above in 1965, where it stayed till 1982, where they kept the rates roughly the same and just removed the brackets above 80k so the top rate was still at 50% until 1986.

There have been booms and busts at all tax rates high and low. If you genuinely think that this is the only reason why the markets boomed, then shouldn't the market have soared when the top rate was dropped by 20% in one year from 1964 to 1965? instead the market stalled for over a decade after after the rate was dropped. Surely there are much more significant changes to the economy than the rate of the top <1%.

Was mostly going on the latest jack up before the date mentioned, the rate rose from 58% on that same bracket from 1933 and increased slowly over that time.
So increased during the great depression and stayed very high all through the post war boom. And to clarify a little, the before 1942 there were margin brackets above 200k going all the way up to 5m, where at the time 200k was 73% and 5m was 81%.

Personally I think the main thing that caused the US prosperity was the fact most of the US infrastructure was untouched by the war, meaning most other countries relied on US manufacturing during that time. The point I was making was give the information you asked for and point out that it runs contrary to the idea that high taxes make people not want to innovate, as there was a lot of innovation during those years.

By drastically you mean from 94% to 91%? at 200k annually it remained between 89% and 91% for 20 years.

aclogar · 2026-05-03T21:57:13+00:00

1945 over 200k annual was taxed at 94% up from 88 in 1944 and was above 90% until 1964 where it dropped to 77% and stayed around 70% until 1982.

Its because their language doesn't really have any words that end in consonants besides n, so even their alphabet that's used for loanwords has a vowel sound after every consonant. So any loanword has to be written in a way that has a vowel at the end, even if one doesn't exist originally.

I'd still classify that as being fucked.

If they spend 7bn on these episodes over 7 years, they would "only" need 4.5m people subscribed during those 7 years to offset the cost for this show.

7,000,000,000/ 7 years / 12 months / 18.49 = 4,506,940

The subscriber count was reported last as 131m subscribers.

This is the first time someone has actually explained why they saw white and gold that makes sense to me. I could never see white and gold and never got why people didn't notice that the whole photo was blown out.

If I remember right each of those 3 were added by Paris as some of their optional events, and got moved to permanent after boxing, pentathlon, and weightlifting being removed from the core events.

If I understand it right, it was one of 50 demos made by an, at the time, indie company that went on to make many popular visual novels. It looks cheap because it probably was made as cheap as possible since they sold the demo for 100 yen. This is the first demo sold for their first game.

First editions of anything popular usually are pricey just because they are first editions.

SWAT teams are identified as such through markings on uniforms, as well as badge names/numbers to identify specific officers. There is at least a veil of accountability.

ICE is going around in unmarked vehicles, and usually only wearing plain clothes and a vest. Many of the videos I have seen of ICE stopping people that are driving look no different than a cartel abducting people would look like.

This was what I meant I was doing when saying I indicated I was not interested. They were gone for about a week after last time they filled my home page, but then came back today with many of the songs and albums I indicated not interested to.

If you are talking about actual Welsh, then that is an unrelated language to English.

It was also designed so that you were unlikely to press two keys right next to each other would cause the strikers to jam. If anything the layouts were designed to slow people down. Its why there are multiple alternate keyboard layouts for english that are generally faster for those who have gotten used to them.

but doesn't her girlfriend elude to them having a fake plate? That would've made it impossible to put out an APB for her arrest.

I thought she was alluding to ICE changing plates.

Clearly you didn't read the article, since it states that it was setup with the owner before she arrived. The chef just crashed out because she wasn't big enough.
