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.

#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.

This is retarded.

1. It isn't for profit healthcare that is the problem, it's THIRD PARTY PAY.
2. I don't use third party pay, ever, for healthcare. I've been insured nonstop for over 30 years, and NEVER ONCE has my insurer paid my doctor.
3. Even when I've had emergencies, I still called around, negotiated a fair cash up front rate, paid cash up front, and billed it to my insurer. My cash up front rate was sometimes below any co-pay negotiated with my insurer, lol.

I just recently had some elective surgery that would have cost me about $2000 on my annual deductible, but I was able to cash pay a negotiated rate of $400 including a follow-up "free". I submitted the $400 to my insurer and they reimbursed me.

Third party insurance exists because YOU VOTERS demanded the HMO Act of the 1970s, which tied health care to employment, and then employers outsourced it to third parties.

Health care is remarkably cheap in the US (cash pay, negotiated) and I don't have to wait months to see a doctor when I call and say I am cash pay. They bump me up fast.

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?

"They take much better photos but since there's no option for a cloud backup even if manually triggered, I'm left with finding a local solution that is always going to be more cumbersome."

Wifi SD cards exist and will let you transfer photos from camera to computer.

There is no privacy, and privacy apps are only used by scammers and criminals anyway.

Tell me one thing you do now that you couldn't do on a 32-bit system.

The Apollo moon lander only had 8-12 bit memory.

If you need a 64-bit system to do what we did on far less in the 70s, well, that's a skill issue.
