I’d love to vote for Sanders. But he’ll be nicknamed “Comrade Bernie” and (unfairly but relentlessly) be labelled a communist and a socialist by Trump and the Republicans. And no, “embracing” the concept of socialism isn’t the answer. Like it or not, it’s an incredibly dirty word in vast swathes of America.

Maybe you missed the fact that LA Metro employs hundreds of transportation designers, who are actually experts in the field, who are actually building an actual transit system in Los Angeles, and who get less than 0.001% of the hero worship that the attention whore Elon Musk gets for these ridiculous ideas.

They can fix that in 2 minutes by changing a number on their W4

Indeed, the bracket exists not to tax people who actually earn $10,000, but to progressively tax the first $10k of income for people who earn much more than that.

I’m 30, and just moved to a company that offers a Roth 401K. The company does a full match of 4% of my salary into a traditional 401K. So I max out the traditional at 4%, and I’m saving an additional 11% into the Roth 401K. That means I’m saving 15% of my income for retirement. I also am trying to max out my health…

And he’s only actually paying $30 more tax from being in that bracket - since if that $300 was under the bracket, he’d still be paying 12% (or $36) on it. Assuming of course no other deductions.

Once again the government hates single people. I mean really REALLY hates them.

Me too! Sky Harbor never fails to be a super-efficient airport. With pre-check and the ability to go through 4 checkpoints in terminal 4 (for either American or Southwest), security is so fast I rarely even stop walking. The airport food selection is also actually really good.

I think if a soldier shoots a Honduran child in the head with his M-16 from across the border fence, before the criminal toddler sets foot on American soil, Posse Comitatus doesn’t apply, right? If not, then I think if they just scream “CASTLE DOCTRINE” while unloading their clip into some Salvadoran teenage girls,…

This year, I got my shot at work. Among the dozen or so flu shots I’ve had as an adult, this was the most painless - I didn’t even feel it. I looked at my arm to make sure she actually gave me the shot - I saw the small red puncture dot, but no blood. And I’ve usually only had very minor muscle soreness in the arm in…

When I got my shot last week, the consent form described how GBS has only actually been linked to the sine flu shot given in 1976. Ingredients and methods have changed dramatically since then, and there hasn’t really been any known linkage since. The warning still exists, but flu shots since then haven’t been shown to…

The calculation appears to be that the number of *additional* Latino voters potentially brought out by an Obama endorsement (who weren’t voting for O’Rourke before, which has got to be a very, very small fraction) isn’t worth the massive campaign gift to Cruz of being able to call O’Rourke “Obama’s handpicked /…

These kind of schemes are fine, but they fall apart quickly (or are hard to mentally keep track of), when you:

I get around that by using 1Password X - it’s the Chrome app version of 1Password that doesn’t require a locally-installed client. The IT department has seen me use it many times while standing at my desk with me, and don’t seem to care (or don’t recognize what I’m doing), as long as I’m not installing a local app…

I’m not saying you can’t find the nicest hotel bar or 5 star restaurant in Omaha and find prices like that. But in Hong Kong, LA, New York, they are pretty standard, unlike elsewhere.

I’m in Phoenix. Any bar outside of ritzy Scottsdale that tries to charge $14 for a cocktail would go out of business real quick. And quite a few have.

Hear, hear. I love Southwest........ especially now that my husband and I have the Companion Pass through the end of 2019.

There are Hong Kong based internet tailors you could use. I don’t think they’ll be $35 though.

I dont know about that, those prices are just about in line with the major cities around the world

Yes. Those are all very expensive cities, as is Hong Kong. Just pointing it out, here at the end of an article that for some reason mentions how Hong Kong is “great for nightlife and cheap goods”.
