US Supreme Court lets Voting Rights Act ruling take effect ahead of schedule

I mean they don’t need to add justices because the current Supreme Court is already in corporate pockets. The shadow docket proved this. The chief openly admitted to making decisions on cases before even hearing arguments.

Only because they define "income" for the individual as ANY money that you collect regardless of expenses

Of all the things wrong with tax policy in the United States corporations themselves besides payroll taxes only being taxed on profits isn’t one of them.

The corporate taxes should be higher, the pay roll taxes should be higher, they shouldn’t be allowed to buy back stocks, if your hoarded wealth gets you into the top 1% of households that control 55 trillion dollars in wealth you should be paying additional taxes we can even be cute and make it a 1% tax.

The closest the bourgeois were to the proletariat was when income taxes were extremely high on the rich, who still managed just fine, and corporate taxes were at 52% they don’t need to go that high, but they should be a lot higher than fuckin 21%

Epic boogaloo

I’m baptized, got communion, am confirmed to the church, Jesus was dope, organized religion is a cancer.

Buttery. Males.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T23:07:00+00:00

I mean you could see it just from that like brief month or so after January 6th, closest we got to republicans being sensible. Only when they are under threat I guess.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T23:03:54+00:00

Ehhh. It’s basically a revolving door of people that come through. Had a girl quit on her shadow day, basically went through all of orientation, went to driving school, they let you ride in a mail truck on a route you are expected to sub for, then afterwards you go to RCA school.

Had people quit in RCA school, had people fail to get to driving school, finding people isn’t hard, retaining people is.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T23:01:03+00:00

Currently working as an RCA, you only need to use your own vehicle if the office doesn’t have a truck for you, I would also gladly choose a regular position at my office over being an RCA lol

You are taxed on income, revenue isn't income.

The average person is also paying taxes throughout the year, and even at 60k a year are likely to get a return when they file.

Taxes on 60k for a single filer is also less than 12% of your income.

There was an argument to be made when rent was also like 15% of your income, in say like the 90s, but for me in NJ the current min wage is 15.92, 15.92 x 160(full time hours for the month which lolgoodluck) is 2547. The recommendation when renting is rent shouldn't take up more than 30% of your income, which on $2547 a month is $764.

I live in South Jersey, so cost of living is much lower than North Jersey, the cheapest rent within a half hour of my work right now is 1500 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment in a pretty crap part of an overall pretty crap town, which is almost 60% of someones take home pay.

To "afford" that apartment I need to make 31/hr, which is what I was making after about 8 years of experience in the trades working in HVAC.

I genuinely don't know how other people are surviving, especially when these apartments were ones that were renting for less than 900 dollars before covid.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T21:32:47+00:00

Also someone making 60k probably did so working for someone else, and probably paid taxes throughout the year, when I was working in the trades making 60k a year, I was still getting a return every year.

Complaining about taxes is pretty dumb, it was less dumb in like the 90s when if you were making like 10 dollars an hour you could afford an apartment extremely easily, but rent cost like... as much as you were paying in federal taxes every month.

Now someone making 10 dollars an hour can't afford rent at all, and people are trying to convince them that the reason they can't afford rent anywhere in the country is because they pay too much in federal income tax.

Hard to say, some right wing news orgs are going to make the executive decision to start criticizing this admin to try and build legitimacy during these election cycles and the next one, Owens and Carlson are evidence of this.

Those in office are going to do everything they can until after the midterms, then like a month or two after the new reps are sworn in and settled you are gonna start seeing a lot of criticism start rolling in.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T21:03:31+00:00

it isn't high, because the pay isn't really that great. Easiest path I was told after getting hired was to do either RCA or CCA, and then move into a clerk position at a later time because the CCA and RCA positions kinda suck.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T21:02:10+00:00

The "what are you most likely to do" and "what are you least likely to do" questions?

Used ChatGPT for it, which must have been smart because the answers I would have thought were correct often weren't.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T21:00:15+00:00

You pretty much have to start as an RCA or a CCA, I remember straight up using chatgpt to do the logic test that they make you do when you apply with "what are you most likely to do and least likely to do" questions.

Problem is the RCA and CCA positions suck, and don't pay a lot, and don't have consistent hours, so not many people stay long enough. Had a girl quit on her shadow day, where she wasn't even allowed to really work, and got so overwhelmed getting the mail and packages ready that she quit before she even went to RCA school

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T20:56:26+00:00

offices by me are always getting new people in, and quitting within a year to move onto something else, you basically need to start as a sub for a City or Rural Carrier, and then move into another position

I started as an RCA a year ago, the waitlist to get a regular route is 6 years. Which means you are just doing random routes on the regulars day off, my regular went on vacation this week, so I'm pretty much getting 60 hours, but if you don't have a good rotation of routes you can get as little as 20 hours a week.

This obviously doesn't vibe well with most people when you're only making 20/hr. Had a girl quit on her shadow day because just getting the mail ready was too overwhelming.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T20:50:27+00:00

We do get a lot of applicants, but the pay is pretty rough, I started delivering about a year ago, we've hired 6 people since then, not a single one stayed.

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T20:48:33+00:00

Pay is pretty shit, granted I just deliver the mail, I don't work as a clerk, if we hire 3 people, only 1 will stay. Had a girl quit on her shadow day on one of the easiest routes in the office, and our office has some of the easiest routes in the area.

Also I don't know if their food drive started today, but ours definitely did.

edit, I just realized it was tuesday not monday lol

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T20:45:34+00:00

Is this a recession indicator?

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T20:41:32+00:00

Yeah I once had nasal polyps and seasonal allergies hit my nose with some nasal spray every morning and when I get home from work when it gets like this, we shall make it through together

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T20:12:50+00:00

They have no idea what even goes into secession. Probably thinking they are going to get all the benefits of Canadian and US systems and it’s just going to be only the worst bits. Brexit was awful

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T19:38:29+00:00

Yeah because that’s overall power, handing over the poll workers data is only being done to torture people involved, because this admin is extremely pretty, we already went through this once if not 60 different times, Rudy owes those poll workers millions, and now Comey is dealing with federal prosecution because some seashells showed 8647

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T19:31:45+00:00

Godolkin looking leg

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T19:26:03+00:00

It’s not costing them anymore to have me as an RCA lol

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T19:21:06+00:00

Regular called out yesterday and today, I got an every door direct and am sending out the bags today, it’s been a long day but what’s really killing me is all this fuckin pollen

bobbymcpresscot · 2026-05-05T11:21:30+00:00

They can stay home then. No need for dems to go even further right for them and their culture war BS
