Ah, I missed the team driving mention. I just looked it up in Canada an individual is permitted 13 hours of driving/day they are under limits ty.


He drove 16000km in 10 days. That’s an average of 1600km a day. How the F do you accrue that amount of distance without exceeding legal driving limits (either speed or total time/day)?




IF it was forced to be in the 66% CG bracket $16.5k would be taxed at the previously posited 20% resulting in $3300 paid to government so it is a respectable jump in tax owed for those being subjected to it.


A better way to think of it is <$250k 50% of the profit is tax-free. >$250k only 34% of it is tax exempt.


First, the bump to 66% only happens after 250k that year so $25k would not trigger the extra 16% eligibility. So standard 50% CG only would be applied. $12.5k taxed at your rate means the min rate which may be something like 20% (this number is a wild guess) so say $2500 paid to the gov. Not as bad as it sounds.









If you were in the wilderness with only 1 dose of Narcan and you had to choose between administering it to a drug addict dying from a bender, or their 8 year old that accidentally got into what was causing their parent to OD who would you give the single dose to? That is the kind of decision being made here.



The og article was already posted in !technology@lemmy.world at least and I was honestly disturbed by the amount of people in that community that were okay with this level of scientific ignorance from writers in a technology-centred blog. It’s like people WANT to be lied to and misinformed.




This post makes me sad because I’m not a programmer and I don’t even know what the difference is. I just want a hug but apparently I’m ineligible.
