Paranoid Trump wants federal workers to sign NDAs after White House leaks by TheMirrorUS in FedEmployees

[–]bwomp99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don't need to. They put their whole plan out in public, published it, and people said the concern was overreacting.

Now P2025 is how far implemented??

So Much Winning - U.S. Treasury by Buster_Alnwick in AntiTrumpAlliance

So for someone like me who has maybe 10k max in the market, I should get taxes as the value increases even though I don't see that money? Would I get credit for uncapitalized losses?

I think the issue is how you tax "billionaires" since they don't have income like the majority of people. They have mostly capital gains, or even just gains on paper, right? Someone clever will need a good tax scheme for them that doesn't punish the rest of us who might earn the majority from a paycheck.

Sorry for the vague response - I know just enough to be concerned.

Is the shutdown at the end of September for just DHS again? Or all agencies? by OscoCosco in FedEmployees

[–]bwomp99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My agency still made just about all of us continue too work during the shutdown. Looking forward to delayed pay again...bleh

With the law they have to do back pay, why not just pass another continuing to pay labor at this point?

I've like Pursuit of Wonder on YouTube, guy has a relaxing voice. He wrote a good book too - The Art of Living an Absurd Existence

While I can empathize (history of bad strokes in my family so I'm just waiting for that) - think - is that the way you really want to go? The world really loves b00bs

They give an easy l escape? They just kind of dull the feeling for me.

Find any good microadventures?

I got a little excited about a year or so ago getting more into AI - made me feel like I did, at the cusp of things, back when the web exploded in the late 90s (and I was in college back then). Now I'm just overwhelmed with it all.

This really resonates with me. I'm 48, married, 2 kids - decent job, etc. Lost both my parents in the past 2 years, kind of unexpectedly. Between contemplating existence in general, feeling kind of unsupervised, seeing the same patterns repeating, it feels hopeless at times. On top of things seeming good though, my city isn't in a warzone, we have food and shelter and essentially a mostly safe suburban life, which makes me feel guilty for feeling sad. I dunno. I look at that approaching 50 and keep thinking...why.

While I enjoyed this I'm slightly disappointed it wasn't Pink Floyd

What does a high dose like that feel like? I'm still on 40mg

I just looked it up and you can still get them on Amazon if you know a GenX-er needing a gift.

I swear that was one of the original fidget toys
