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.
#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.
Don't see too many cars on walking paths and sidewalks. The number of e-bikes on walking paths and sidewalks has skyrocketed. It's almost as if someone decided being a pedestrian is a sinful activity, and that every walkway must now be infested with morons on wheels.
Then let me get started on mobility scooters.
I'd just like them banned from walking paths. At least once a day I'm getting some crazy asshole ringing his bell as he comes flying up behind me. I'm not a fan of any kind of bike on walking paths, but at least the people on regular bikes have more control. The worst are probably older riders who often seem like they're barely in control. And the three wheeled ones take up outrageous amounts of space on smaller paths, regularly forcing other users on some of the narrower paths I frequent to get to the side of the road.
It's hard to imagine, short of motor vehicles, anything more hazardous to a pedestrian than some stupid prick on an e-bike.
Mediterranean resorts do quite well, as I remember
Is there some racist reason in South Carolina that poor people can't move to Appalachia on the other side of the fall line?
Or, gasp, abandoning non-viable coastal cities.
Wouldn't it be better to relocate the people rather than build the sea wall, and just depopulate Charleston which is no longer viable as a city?
Good, I'm glad she's leaving. She's pushed the EFF in a bad direction, and forced John Gilmore (one of the founders of the EFF out).
I think the replacement choice is obvious - bring Gilmore back as Executive Director.
There is no privacy, and privacy apps are only used by scammers and criminals anyway.
And it may prove to be the most prophetic of all ST:TOS episodes. Unfortunately, the C-suite is currently jacking off to it. "No, don't let that pointy-eared freak control the guard's mind! And pass my cocaine!"
