The information you see on the internet and real world isnāt the same. The internet says a certain percentage for a tax bracket but donāt account for inflation and cost of living
Those arenāt taxes. Why are you moving the goalposts? You said if you saw how much they were taxed weād be shocked. We saw how much theyāre taxed and itās not that bad and now you say COL and inflation arenāt counted. Well then that means itās not counted in the US too. Where you moving the goalposts to now?
There is a "tax on carbon" here, it increases the cost of everything as it increases the cost of energy/fuel at every point in the manufacturing and distribution chain. It kinda looks like inflation in terms of how the costs are passed on through to customers but its entirely self-inflicted.
Not having to worry about fighting with insurance companies and lawyers when insurance companies bock at your claims is pure joy.
Insurance companies arenāt there to help you, they are there to take your money and invested in other things to make more money off of your misery. And they will fight too and nail to keep that money in their pocket and not help people who actually needed.
The institute has received donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars[67] from foundations controlled by Charles and David Koch, with total donations estimated to be approximately $765,000 from 2006 to 2016.[68] It also received US$120,000 from ExxonMobil in the 2003 to 2004 fiscal period.[69] In 2016, it received a $5 million donation from Peter Munk, a Canadian businessman.[70]
In 2012, the Vancouver Observer reported that the Fraser Institute had "received over $4.3 million in the last decade from eight major American foundations including the most powerful players in oil and pharmaceuticals".
We're paying 6+ dollars for gas, cost of living is out of control, we're in some retarded war that nobody asked for that is costing us billions a day, and that's what you're outraged over? Lmfao get a grip. Who cares
I've been messing with them on Facebook lately, just for something to do. It is amazing how uninformed and illogical they can be. Almost like a caricature of a cult. It's so over the top it's hard to believe it's real. Sad state we find ourselves in.
Cracker barrel was being ripped to SHREDS over that change, and the fact they changed from making biscuits from scratch to frozen biscuits, among other things too. I hope theyre able to get the decorations back though, I've been out of the loop on cracker barrel shenanigans.
It's crazy how red this sub used to be merely weeks ago and now it's pretty much crickets coming from that crowd when it comes to Trump. They still get on and complain about brown people but as far as fuel prices and such they don't have much to say š
The crazy thing? We might very well be looking at these prices as "reasonable" VERY SOON. Unfortunately, this isn't some farfetched unlikely scenario either, it might get MUCH, MUCH worse. With the current plan of bombing all the power plants and bridges, and believe me Trump is absolutely crazy enough to do it, things might get SUPER UGLY. If that does occur, you can be sure they will do everything they can to make sure we can't get any of their oil.
Things are bad now, but they are on the brink of turning into a disaster. These prices might skyrocket soon, but gas prices will be the least of our concern if shit gets REALLY UGLY.
We are ever so close to that becoming a reality. Things aren't looking up in any way, all signs point to things getting much worse soon.
Oh yeah, definitely. If "operation bomb power plants and bridges" comes to fruition, this price will be DIRT CHEAP. Wouldn't be until a new president, lots of apologies (in the form of $$$$$$) and such until it was fixed.
Yeah, it is close to getting really bad. They aren't gonna cave to any of his demands, that is for sure. He doesn't like being told no, and he doesn't wanna look "weak" so he has to follow through.
Contrary to what one side thinks about the other side in politics, not everyone who votes rep is maga, i voted for him because it was option A or option B, definitely do not support, but had no other choice.
IMO Kamala would have further pushed tyrannical CIVID policy, forcing vaccines, and many other undesirable changes.
With American politics, no matter who you vote for, youāre not choosing your candidate, youāre choosing your poison, and one is not ābetterā than the other, itās just a matter of choosing which pain youād rather endure for the next 4 years.
Are you familiar with Project Warp Speed? I want to be painfully clear that trump immediately put over $10 billion into developing a covid vaccine, then urged everyone to get vaccinated. He received multiple covid vaccinations. He wanted everyone to know he saved the day until it was better to trash talk it.
Within Bidens first few months, he deported more black migrants than trump did his entire first term. I really don't like Biden and the same goes for Harris. They were better than what we have... even if only in small margins, she wouldn't have done the damage he is doing.
I don't think it makes you a bad person, just that either red or blue mentality is just as fatal.
Our company has restricted the states we're allowed to fuel up in. Can't fuel up in Cali, Michigan, or Arizona now. The Cali and Arizona is a real big bitch when you have to get into LA and back on a single fill up. Can be a real nail biter to get from Lordsburg to LA and back.
Well, I'm assuming you mean company drivers and not owner ops.
They can cut optional benefits, like matching 401k, bonuses, refuse to allow drivers to idle their trucks to conserve fuel, they can do a lot to discourage or offset the fuel costs. those are some of the least drastic steps they could take if it gets bad.
