Can I get the tracker/mark on my forehead?

I love how the "girl power" moment broke suspension of disbelief instead of the other 99% of the movie, which is pretty much all fantastical impossibility.

Maybe they'll gift him another Jet that he can't use. Its more likely they'll continue to tell him to fuck off.

It's Meta.

You could make the argument that your I-know-some-guy-who-said-this-was-a-problem story is conveying to cast aspersions on either side of the aisle and have it be just as valid.

Jesus is the son of Mary, an intersexed whose mother had an iron deficiency.

Sure wish submissions could be edited.

We elect these sort of people.

You might be dating yourself with that one. Is the analog scrambling you're describing in use anymore?

I mean, yeah, of course I did this too.

Nope, B is so inconsequential to calculate that if you give me DOGE-level access to state DMVs (or equivalent agencies responsible for vehicle inspections) datastores, then I can likely get those reports out in a couple days.

There's a $400 first time registration and a $200 registration renewal fee for EVs. This is to cover all the taxes that aren't being paid by EV owners lack of buying gas. This means that low mileage EV owners pay an unfair portion of taxes under a certain number of miles, and less than their fair share over a certain number of miles.

If lawmakers had wanted to make it fair, instead of specifically targeting EVs for political points, then they would have based that tax on mileage and vehicle weight. Every renewal requires an inspection, including a record of the current miles driven. Simple math will give miles driven that year, and tax could easily be calculated from that.

This federal tax is just more of the same. It would make EV owners pay taxes disproportionate to their contribution to road degradation over time, when registration records would easily allow for more precise taxation.

complain about the weaponization of the Justice Department, or should I wait until the next administration, and their lack of motivation to protect the current president and his cronies for crimes committed before, during, and after his second term?

The disingenuous nature of these MAGA folks is their most corrosive contribution to democracy.

On a related note, has anyone checked out the batshit crazy that whitehouse.gov is now?

It's exactly like every other stock browser at this point?

It's a waste of government money in the short term to save government money in the long term? There's too many IRS employees, so we need to reduce their numbers, while at the same time make the processing of tax returns more labor intensive?

Yeah, that's pretty consistent with what passes for Trump's ability to reason. There's no profit in allowing an easy, free, and relatively secure way to file your taxes provided BY the government to exist. You gotta privatize that, for efficiency or...uhmm...bribes.
