Ah, get it but you’re not taxed on what you pay them surely? So it just means your gross income is 10% lower. What you pay the hospital isn’t “tax”, its a cost of doing business.

That’s federal tax, you have to add state taxes on top. 

Why do you pay the hospital 10% of your gross income? Aren’t they paying you? Or doesn’t that just mean your taxable income is 10% lower? Sorry I have no idea how hospitals work in Canada. 

But the money doesn’t get sent to shareholders, employees etc. which is why the five main tech stocks were sat on over $600 billion in cash last year.

How are you only taking home 29% overall when the marginal top rate you’re paying over $216K is 54%? Something not quite right in the maths there.

Plenty of cities have loads of expensive houses without off-street parking. My old house in London is worth a million Pounds and I had to fight for a parking space in front of the house every day, and pay for a permit to do so. 40 grand cars on the street are common as dirt in places like that

That reporter has a weird accent; yes it’s British, but there seems to a unique “Brit reporter moves to the US” accent that simply doesn’t exist back home. ESPN seems to be its natural habitat. 

Its very easy to do big speeds on that road; not 160mph big, but three figures easy, or it would be if there weren’t hidden speed cameras every other KM. Even if the police hadn’t stopped him, he was doomed anyway.

More of the same old shit. Not one of the charging companies can match the Supercharger network for coverage AND speed, and car companies doing deals with individual companies doesn’t create scale. Most car companies can’t compete with Tesla on range, and probably won’t for a while, so the logical step would be to…

That’s not the way it works in the rest of the world. In Europe the Euro 7 Emissions regs due in 2025 pretty much make ICE only development untenable, this is effectively law in 27 countries already (plus the UK, which shows no sign of divergence). On this very site, today, Audi have announced no more new ICE…

I genuinely don't understand why half a dozen manufacturers haven't got together to make a better-than-Supercharger network. We all know that's the Tesla secret sauce, why don't they? Especially in Europe, where Superchargers are more patchy.

It doesn't matter about current demand; countries in Europe and Asia have started the clock; no new ICE vehicles within 9-14 years; which is only 2-3 development cycles, and less in reality because the bottom will fall out of the ICE market long before then.

Current TG has actually benefited no end from Covid; the whole last season was good because they couldn’t just drive about in an exotic location and they had to raise their game creatively. The new season has just started and they did a whole sequence about driving your dad’s car (admittedly an area the trio have…

The raised ride height is actually an option; you have to actually pay for slightly worse handling. 

Jeep made the association with the word “Chief”? When was that then?

I’ve never met any Vikings, but then again neither has anyone else, ever, because “Viking” is a thing you do, not a thing you are, but its still a cultural stereotype; ask any Norwegian.

The pseudo-intellectual contortionism is caused by the rabbit hole you disappear down when you decide to make every word ever associated with Native Americans off limits. The football thing is about iconography, not words (and frankly while “Redskins” is pejorative, “chief” absolutely isn’t, any more than “Vikings”…

Not what I was talking about. “Chief" doesn't become exclusive to native Americans because some fuckwits used it to name a football team. And speaking as someone from the rest of the world, we all think American nonsense about cultural appropriation is horseshit, precisely because of this type of pseudo-intellectual…

“Every”? Not even remotely close, and I could only find that out by reading this stupid slideshow.

We didn’t conquer the french’s native land.
