Streaming Services are by definition a Service. Other Services in the state are taxed at 6%. Streaming services can be considered a Luxury item, nobody needs netflix to live. You won't die without it.

the Vaping taxes are essentially the same thing. You don't need to vape. It has health issues just like regular smoking. Kids pick it up as being "cool". Tax it like cigarettes..boom done. I can think of about 5 Vape stores in my town, why on God's green earth do we need 5 in small town? Survival of the fittest, some will close.. I'm sorry. oh well.

Do I like taxes...no. But Wolf also got passed a decent Education budget, finally after years of crap from Rendell and Corbett. So if you are going to tax me 6% for netflix and Amazon Prime, oh well. Maybe my kids will get a better computer system in their school. Or maybe their teachers will get a better contract and be more engaged in the class room .

State taxes don't necessarily suck 100% of the time. there are real benefits that can happen. People need to get their heads out of their asses and realize we all need to work together as a community to keep things from going to total shit. Taxes are one of the ways we are able to do this. /end rant.

What's the real difference between buying a membership somewhere in state and paying 6%, and paying for 6% tax for your Netflix membership.

This is all just making a mountain out of a molehill.

Besides the taxes aren't hitting Netflix, they're hitting us the consumers.

in the end it's going to be just another line on the bill every month.

That is slowwwwly changing. I can go into my local grocery store now and actually by beer. I still have to pay for it at a special register. But it's a step in the right direction.

Yep, I think its like $20 off your first paycheck only...

I think the idea, right or wrong, was to tax out of area people coming in for jobs then leaving and paying income taxes to other areas. never quite made sense to me .

Oh I feel old....

They're going to take our jerbs! and replace us!

'merica!

Do I feel lucky? The smart ass in me, or maybe it's just age... would want to retort, with "Well do you?" I'd feel as if it was fortuitous that we both met in this situation. Out of the whole world, what are the odds.

Smart ass interview questions used to just confuse me, now they irritate me. Next time I get one I may just be honest about it.

Even with a good degree, a lot of times you still wade through people shit all day, just not literally.

Don't be. Australia is an awesome country. Assholes are everywhere. Anytime there is a disaster, the snake-oil salesmen will be out in force to huck their miracle cures.

Actually with the 2.0 patch that came out a few weeks back the overall DII feel has become much better. Drops are more reasonable, not being dependent on having 3 Billion gold to buy items off the AH is a plus.

I won't say it made it a whole new game, but it freshened it up enough for me to want to play through again with a new toon.

Nice,. Yeah, that's more accurate.

When you have a small loan, the bank owns you. When you have a large loan, you own the bank. ( more or less )

Same here. Have the Pet one for the basement/rec-room/man-cave/whatever. Runs twice a week. Only issues I've had are when he wonders into the laundry room or closet and can't get back out. Some times he may try to crawl under the couch and get stuck, or if my 5 year old leaves some toys out he may try to pull them in.

Over all, great investment for me. Keeps the cat/dog hair in check. And I don't have to lug the big vacuum downstairs and go through that hassle.. I like him.

He does need maintenance once in a while, but that's more fun than vacuuming.

hehe me too!

"Oh the humanity!"

That's the main thing I remember from encarta
