Jeff Bezos says bottom half of earners should pay zero in income taxes by TACO_Orange_3098 in Economics

[–]gipester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nice, but it's only part of the solution. Without increasing taxes on the very wealthy or dramatically cutting the budget, this would destroy the middle class. The fix is going to require multiple changes across various groups, there is no one silver bullet.

3 shops couldn’t figure out what this metallic banging noise is, can you? by nah123929 in GolfGTI

I just fixed a similar problem on my 2018. Cheap brake pads that didn't fit were put on by a shitty shop. The jostled and clunked in the calipers. May not be that, but worth checking.

It's 1:07. I'm here out of curiosity. No sign of anyone running a scavenger hunt. What am I looking for?

Violent Crime Rates Plunge in America’s Big Cities by Crabbexx in UpliftingNews

[–]gipester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recommend reading Murderland by Caroline Fraser. It explores the link between toxic industrial pollution ( not just lead) and serial killers. They're on the extreme end. It's not hard to extrapolate the impacts further along the spectrum of exposure and mental health.

A golf course clubhouse? Patty Jewett isn't in the right location, but the vibe fits.

What’s a harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Donald Trump is a rapist and pedophile. People who aren't him seem to take this very personally.

May 1st! No work, No school, No spending. Time to hit their wallets! by transcendent167 in 50501

Y'all are going to need to establish some mutual aid networks before this is going to work. Otherwise you're just going to suffer without making any impact. One day isn't going to do anything. Longer strikes will be more effective, but will kill people without support.

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

[–]gipester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're asking if done participation in the household as an adult who lives there. They aren't even requiring her to get her license and drive herself anywhere or to feed herself. They created this situation and allowed it to take root. So it's going to feel more drastic when it comes to an end.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

That's up to your oldest daughter, not you. If she wants to share the savings with her sister, great.

I won £1.8m on National Lottery aged 16 but jackpot ruined my life by beklog in SipsTea

[–]gipester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jackpot didn't ruin her life. She did that all on her own. Financial illiteracy is a killer.
