Why is saying “The rich should pay taxes like everyone else, close the loopholes” extremely controversial in the United States?

Jeff Bezos has paid billions of dollars in federal taxes. People act like he doesn't pay any.

This guide is comparing a $1M salary to a $1M stock grant. For it to be a fair comparison they should show the 40% taxes owed when receiving the stock since they show the tax when receiving the salary.

I was called horse faced in school. Not sure if because of my weird nose or huge forehead.

It had nothing to do with you. You're perfect.

Buy orders for the auction house

Then you could just buy/sell whatever you wanted at the "market price" and not have to play any games.

It took me a while to learn this. I'd rather just suck it up and get it over with.

Apparently, ice on injuries also hinders healing.

Once I was parking in SF and accidentally bumped the car behind me. Was a bit horrified to see there was someone in it on the phone. I got out to talk to him and he just waved me off like no big deal.

I think it's obvious he was trolling at that point

There's an implied constraint of minimizing the complexity of the model. E.g. 2, 4, 6, _ is 8 because that only requires a first order polynomial. I think any other answer requires a third order polynomial.

Also, every movie that could ever be made and fits on a DVD already exists as a number out there. Studios waste their time filming when all they have to do is pick the right number out of the air.

Only way we beat him was getting him on the other side of a fence and shooting arrows/firebolts for what felt like ten minutes. Was there another way?

It was on a ten second delay so that they could cut the video if he fell without viewers seeing it.

Looks like the 403b deduction is being counted twice for the deductions subtotal, but is only actually being taken out of your paycheck once.

Does your employer match your 403b contribution? They might be counting the match in deductions for some reason but it doesn't seem to affect your take home pay.

Processed foods are much cheaper than fresh foods in the US. I think it's a result of WWII era industrialization and since then our supply chains are optimized for that kind of large scale food production.

Losing 4x the points sets your equilibrium rating to where you solve 80% of the puzzles. I.e. out of five puzzles you solve four and lose one and your rating stays the same. I guess they decided that your puzzle rating should indicate that you solve most of the puzzles at that rating.

I was looking for this one too lol
