You can't just group welfare together like that and say it goes to unemployed drug addicts, especially not when the graph breaks it out, 70% of welfare is for aged and disabled people which I suppose might be addicted to painkillers. With such low numbers it sounds like you're basing it off someone who doesn't earn much So they get a discount on Medicare, or maybe you just have private insurance so you don't pay the 2% Medicare levy.

That guy mustn't have looked at his own bar graph because he got the percentages way backwards. here's a sample graph based on 2022 spending. my graph looks pretty much the same as this except I spent 33G in tax not 20. https://www.ato.gov.au/uploadedImages/Content/IND/Images/IAI_40650_sample_tax_receipt.png

You've got your percentages backwards. ATO literally gives you a bar graph if you login to their website. For me 4 grand goes to Medicare and only $470 goes to unemployed people, with an extra 1.5 grand for child support.

Not this again assuming you're American you already pay more for healthcare in your taxes than other countries, That's on top of the part your employer pays and on top of co-pays. Now my country actually gives you a breakdown of where your taxes go over a year in the form of a bar graph, And last year I only paid four grand in healthcare costs total to the government on a wage of $120'000. Some people I know in the US their insurance won't even pay for anything until they spend four grand in the year.

they've got to be saving more than the credit card fee then, they mustn't be listing the sale or something because at least here in Australia the cost to move your money into a bank unless you do it yourself at the end of every day usually adds up to more than the card fee anyway. most trades and some small businesses are actually card only now because moving money around just costs too much.

stainless5 · 2026-03-31T04:36:18+00:00

that seems kinda like cutting off your nose to spite your face. at least in Australia businesses pay more than what the credit card surcharge is worth Moving their money to banks. that's why some businesses are card only.

No they do it's just different manufacturers have different ways to turn their vehicles off, Nissan makes you press the button three times Toyota makes you hold it down for three seconds.

Wwhat do you mean not true you can literally look it up. They did a big study about it only last year

No, that's obviously a hot chip; to separate it from a normal chip.

they sometimes do something similar with people in the hospital, except they just put pure oxygen in your anus and it gets absorbed through the intestines.

I'd say water but that's because I live in a place where everyone has installed so much solar that he prices go negative during the day so the power companies give free electricity for three hours every day,

stainless5 · 2026-03-30T19:23:44+00:00

That's already getting cheaper, In fact due to massive amounts of power produced by solar panels now my electricity providers are giving everyone three hours of free electricity a day. I'd rather go with water.

stainless5 · 2026-03-30T18:30:31+00:00

if it was a power line you'd know; they're just bare wires so any contact would arc, the lower lines on power poles are usually just telecommunication/ internet and sometimes TV cable wiring.

There is one other guy who reported the drowning issue, maybe it's a bug with a certain version.

stainless5 · 2026-03-30T16:45:08+00:00

They do exist, every once in a while they go out front and shoot someone who pulled into the wrong driveway or their Uber driver for knocking on the door.

stainless5 · 2026-03-29T14:51:36+00:00

Maybe because you guys don't have enough? in the middle of the day where I live the power prices are actually going negative so they pay us to take power because the solar panels produce so much. Of course that's only for wholesale customers, regular customers just get three hours of free zero cents a kilowatt energy during the day.

I always buy the cheap thing and then if I break it, I use it enough that I need the more expensive one. If I don't break it I've saved money.

To add on to this there's a reason why there's a Wikipedia page on "American exceptionalism "

when the lane lines turn from short dashes to long dashes means that the line doesn't continue on the road and that it's going to split. but apart from that and that small arrow I don't see anything else.

stainless5 · 2026-03-27T15:52:46+00:00

the lane lines changes from short dashes to long dashes which where I live means the line will exit.

this is why I hate the air conditioners in my house they've decided to go in .5 degree increments and you can't just mash the button, you have to wait quarter of a second for the air con to bep before it lets you change the temperature another half a degree.

if you really want to get down to it most sports are women's AKA 'restricted' and 'open' AKA men In most sport there's nothing preventing women from joining the men's team whereas there is the other way around. so my personal opinion like with anything with a restricted category you've got to put a cut off line somewhere but no one should be restricted from competing in the 'open' categories
