“...pull all the skin off at once and eat it immediately, but apparently some people find that off-putting.”
I’ve said the same thing about sports. “You know, I really don’t miss the NBA/NHL/MLB/etc. all that much after all, and look at all this extra time and money I have now.”
Spot on. I’m waiting for one of the military persons on the stage with him to finally say to himself/herself “fuck this,” pull out his/her sidearm, and just shoot the guy in the head.
Just give everybody the same amount now and then add it to the tax bill next year for people who made too much money. So it becomes an interest-free loan which is forgiven for people who make less than the phase-out limits.
Since the bill still has to pass in the House and get signed by Trump before they can start printing checks money,...
Thanks, I get it now. Seems silly in that it doesn’t help the exact population it’s meant to, in the way it should. People that lost their jobs need the money now, not a year from now. Meanwhile, someone who had a lower income last year, but makes more now, and so doesn’t need the money, makes out because they don’t…
I feel like I’m watching one of those apocalyptic descent-into-doom movies that I always turn off because I just can’t watch, like 28 Days Later or Children of Men or something, but I can’t turn it off.

But still, this is THE MOST INCREDIBLY STUPID THING EVER! It’s supposed to help people who lost their income NOW. But someone who had a $100K income, which is not that much in some places, last year and lost their job gets diddly-squat until next year. And then somebody who had a small income last year, and got a…
Can you explain the “refundable tax credit” part again? I’m a little lost.
The scene in Little House where they broke into the local trailer trash family’s barn to find it infested with rats seared itself into my 10 year old brain and is still there.
Shit this whole thing sucks.
Exactly. Maybe this will finally push the whole RealID thing over the cliff into the abyss where it belongs.
Another suggestion: If you have a home computer connected to a large screen, look into installing VNC server on your work computer (check with IT first). Then you can run a VNC viewer on your home computer and display the work computer’s desktop on the large monitor, and use the same keyboard and mouse as well.
Ditto.
I think they should just waive any additional tax due with your return.
I would think social isolation might lead to more alcohol poisonings and, in general, more alcohol-related nastiness.
