You can add how they've recently reclassified transgenerism (ne gender dysphoria) to the reasons why people have lost trust in the mainstream medical/psychological profession, as well.
Psychology has always been prone to un-scientific activities, but it's become increasingly bad with the wanton politicization of diagnostic standards, on top of the un-scientific approach employed in making most individual diagnosis.
I'd mod this up if I could. The extra middle men all have to be fed as well.
For firing the Woz and canceling the IIgs line
That evil guy Trump has the solution, created last Friday- $100,000 minimum application fee for new H-1bs
If Trump wants to make the $100,000 H-1b fee *extremely popular among techies*:
-$30,000 to an American worker laid off in the last 36 months for retraining funds and or job coaches
-$50,000 in a trust fund for the worker to be paid upon purchase of a return ticket when the visa expires, or alternatively, to pay for a conversion to an immigrant visa
-$15,000 to the revenue to help pay for INS/ICE and the bureaucrats to process the application
-$5,000 to a company that cancels an H-1b application to hire a US Citizen
EVs would be residential, not wholesale, pricing.
Big AI Data Centers would be wholesale pricing.
I guess I should clarify. In addition to "just the W2" there's also a monthly, quarterly, or yearly payroll tax report that goes to the IRS, along with a whopping large check for the withholding, as part of normal payroll processing. Different companies do different reporting standards, of course. But they're getting the data a lot more often than you think, just from the money paid in *during* the year, before the return is filed for.
Fantastic - exactly what I have always not wanted! Fingerprints on my screen!
#2 is already happening, that's what the Internal Revenue Service *does*.
50% revision from a survey is not consistent or predictable.
But we do know the answers- just use the information reported to the IRS from every employer doing business in the United States instead.
Maybe we shouldn't need to report the same data to multiple agencies? Estimated taxes, 1099s, and W2 information is already available from the IRS. You don't need to "survey" anybody, you can get down to the penny reads on the entire economy.
14 years ago I picked mailchimp because it could read RSS feeds from my Knights of Columbus blog and send out daily digests.
We had a small form in an iframe allowing people to sign up to get the digests.
This year, something broke in the "detect a human" code for that small form, and I am getting hundreds of thousands of signups of the form "valid email address" "gibberish first name" "gibberish last name" and I can't figure out why.
WWW now stands for Woke White Women, apparently.
They've done this with every meaningful cultural and corporate heritage item in our world. It's disgusting.
You don't honor the heritage of a people by removing all symbolic representations of that culture from public life. The Spartans and Centurions were millennia ago but still have strong, important cultural imagery for today: the same is true of the Apache. The apache were known for being mobile and adaptable, which arguably is something very true of the Apache foundation.
Removing these imageries results in a symbolically empty, culturally irreverent pastiche. Who was it that said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”?
This is no different than the wanton destruction of ancient sculptures and art by ignorant tribesmen because it offends their sensibilities.
Mediterranean resorts do quite well, as I remember
