The stock market should not exist. Investing in companies is fine, but we shouldn't be able to buy our sell investment shares like a commodity.

All subsidies should not exist. They only alter the supply/demand in unnecessary and damaging ways. This must come with ending commodities trading like stock market investing.

The machines ALWAYS bitch about not putting something in the bag or putting something in the bag not scanned. The system is too slow. I hate how slow I have to scan stuff.

Like that? Neat.

I bought a Tissot and a G Shock. I hated the terrible little watches I had when younger. They always broke after a year or two.

It seems to me like WF is trying to avoid a bud light situation. Employees wearing BLM stuff will certainly put off a lot of people in many areas. So it's about not alienating a big portion of their customers, which would be a significant hit to sales.

Anyway, I find it odd to some extent that a business was not allowed, possibly, to limit what employees wear, especially if they interact with customers. A key tenant of sales and customer service is to make the person feel respected and to take an interest (fake if nothing else) in the customer.

Most. Certainly the USA... Add up all personal taxes paid for income from city to county to state to federal. Don't forget to add FICA - Medicare, social security (and the self employed additional amount), and any extras that may apply.

Quick math... A developer in CA bringing in 250k/yr (gross) is hitting the 35% fed bracket. Total effective tax just to the fed is almost 23%. State tax same shit effective tax rate is about 8%. City tax may apply, adding 1% or so. OASDI is 6.2%. Medicare adds 1.45%. But self employed so double those. And oops, you make too much so 0.9% Medicare additional tax..... Add all that and it's over 46%.

I used to just be concerned with taxes to govt destroying the world. Now I think Snow Crash is prophetic.

Why bury your loved ones in toxic chemicals when you can spray them as fertilizer over a field of flowers or Monsanto Roundup Ready Corn^TM !

Anyone with a mediocre amount of business sense or anyone that actually owns / owned (or pretends they own via a mortgage) real estate knows exactly how terribly difficult it is to just keep everything running.

This alone explains why reddit and such have no damn clue why renting is so expensive.
