Looks suspicious. Doesn’t help that the axes aren’t labeled. But shouldn’t the effective tax rate be zero up to at least the standard deduction?

That’s just wrong. I’m from a rural area and I don’t know anyone Republican or Democrat who thinks this wasn’t assault with a deadly weapon. Nobody thinks this is a youthful indiscretion. He deserves significant jail time.

Touchscreen will always be a horrible option in cars as long as they take away the drivers eyes and attention from the road. And it should be illegal to operate it while driving. Buttons and dials you can actually use the touch of your fingers to operate and do so without diverting your eyes from the road.

Yep that’s true about the Netherlands. Also, what no one really talks about the Netherlands, is that it is second place in the EU for cyclist deaths.  Only behind Ireland.
