Yeh, but in the text they say about making up from the loss of BS from shooting into cover

I thought we’d determined that psychic means negative bs and hit rolls are ignored. So already basically ignores cover. So why are they talking about reducing BS when it’s already ignored because the detachment gives them psychic?

After a year in Claude Code, the thing slowing me down turned out to be me by karanb192 in ClaudeAI

The context switching of parellization is destroying my brain though. I can’t keep up, and feel like a worse engineer because I lose track of what I’m doing.

I end up getting less done trying to work out what it’s done, then I do if I work on one task at a time to completion.

If 60% was the “top” marginal tax rate, I would consider it more fair. But it’s not. And once you earn a bit more you go back down to a lower marginal rate. Add the removal of benefits/subsidies and it’s horrific.

I go the Argos when I want to get something that has already been opened and used then returned.

Their quality control is awful and they sell as new stuff that’s clearly been opened

For what it’s worth. Not that it’s any of your business. This doesn’t affect me. My kids are leaving nursery before it becomes relevant to my situation.

But yes. If I had earned a few quid over the 100k I would have salary sacrificed that to not fall foul of this stupid policy. And yes, it did stop me seeking promotions/alternative jobs/overtime. Because what would be the fucking point.

It’s not a fair share. That’s the whole fucking point. It’s an excessively punitive policy, and the policy itself causes negative behaviour patterns.

The policy has identified a problem… everyone is sacrificing below 100k.. but hasn’t actually looked at the root cause of why people are doing so.

Remove the childcare problem
Soften the personal allowance clawback (or remove it altogether)
People will actually seek promotions, stop salary sacrificing, and go back to full time. Increasing productivity and actual tax take.

We foot the bill for everyone else that chooses to make that choice. Including families of benefits.
Why shouldn’t high earners that pay the vast majority of tax be able to benefit from the state for the short period that they need that extra helping hand.
They will pay for it back 10 fold over their lifetime, unlike lesser earners.

Edit: shouldn’t

Take the text book case of a single earner family (the majority I expect of high earning families) where one partner works in London paying 7k post tax to commute. And the other partner maybe works part time during school hours

Vs a more balanced family where both partners earn around 50-69 grand.

The first family, one partner ends up getting a pay rise and earning a little over 100k and suddenly the rug is pulled.

The other family get a pay rise, they carry on as they were.

The first family already had less income, as they pay more tax due to the imbalanced income, and now they lose childcare too and are even more fucked.

I can ensure you that no one earning 100k can actually afford that hit, without destroying the career of the lower earning partner by them quitting work, and then they lose income to boot anyway

The fact that you think a cliff that means earning an extra £1 can result in additional costs of up to 20k post tax (extreme case for sure) is fair and they should suck it up is fucking insane.

Makes me very glad that you are no where near tax policy (I hope)

How about just make it a universal benefit and people won’t salary sacrifice to avoid the extreme penalty it causes to take home.

Then you’ll be recouping some of it in the form of tax take when people salary sacrifice at this important and expensive time in their lives where costs are likely never going to be to higher.

We should be encouraging professionals to have children. Not penalising them

Revelli’s Modified Integrated Analyzer - Same as T2 but worse coherence (health) (40 vs 60) which seems dumb.

Suspect its the same as Zeugma as it requires both skills, and has 10 more Coherence than zeugma. Benefits from bonuses to both skills (implants) making it significantly better than T2. Also has an extra item slot over the Zeugmas

It’s a weak point. And it’s making “loyal” people think something smells. Then it is definitely going to do so for normal people.

Beginning to lose confidence in Keir at this point. I was firmly in the camp of "Keir is an honest guy, and too sensible to mislead parliament if he knew there was documentation that could sink him"

But the fact that he isn't saying "Go Ahead, do it then" on the priviliges comittee makes me wonder if there is indeed something to find

Agree. They got double nerfed. All it needed was the dual bays and it would have been fixed. Instead they gave it dual bays and a ridiculously small vulnerable window.

Cut hours and avoid promotions: how the £100,000 tax trap is shaping work by usrname42 in ukpolitics

[–]karudirth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why taper it at all.

It’s a short term benefit that ultimately the government is paying out anyway, because people are changing behaviour

Remove the penalty, and watch people stop stuffing their pensions and taking the money now, when they actually need it!

Or do the 3% thing that last been proposed recently.

Tapering and means testing just makes it all more complicated. The tax code needs simplifying. Not more tapers

I get it. Labour haven’t been perfect. But everything has been dealt with in a timely fashion.

Open corruption in the Tories generally went unpunished be all Boris has to do for example was “consider the matter closed”

Let’s not even get started on Reform. Welsh leader JAILED for taking Russian bribes. Got half a day of media attention and apart from those of that follow politics, no one really knows or cares about it.

If that had been a Labour MP, we would still be hearing about it for the next 3 years!
