If Trump somehow can eliminate taxes on social security, the fund will have to reduce benefits sooner than projected. The cut will only benefit 40% of recipients that pay taxes, and that lack of extra funds comming into the system will bring it closer to insolvency, sooner rather than later. So unless your brother is one the 40% that will immediately benefit from the tax cut, he'll get to look forward to lower payments sometime in the nearer future.
There was the one guy that always walked to class in strappy sandals, a short sleeved shirt, and shorts. No matter how cold it was outside, in New England, there he was.
OK. I know this sounds ridiculous, but...what if this is all a secret agenda to prepare us for climate change? Make it too expensive to use gas or drive or buy stuff or buy food.
They slowly ween us off of our dependence on...everything, while making us think it was our idea. (Cause climate change doesn't exist) We would have to go back to living with nothing, poor, and growing our own food. Everyone that can't keep up is given a free meal and work...in jail.
I know, I know. I was just pretending there was a bit of some sort of humanity in this train wreck.
I mean that's literally the only thing that came of the whole situation. It's reasonable to believe that the goal was achieved.
Well, then, I suppose op is probably right.
Except he resigned from this last term, so, correct me if im wrong, but, I'm pretty sure he's back in, in January, for the next term he was just re elected for.
You'd be surprised how a pokemon go player will open the app in the middle of the wilderness, even with one questionable reception bar, just to see if there's a secret rare pokemon that lives there. Bonus if you get a postcard from a pokestop someone submitted, because that trail mile marker is "special." You can keep it for memories, or send it to a friend you've never spoken to, for bragging rights. It's also not unheard of, for people to crawl through backroads in their car, since the app won't let catch pokemon or count km's, if you go more than +-15 mph.
Meh, why stop at the campus, when they can have the whole city. Dont be stingy?
I mean, this is just the requirement path for spousal citizenship. Other visas have different requirements. Here, You have an established couple. One person can definitely, legally, gain employment and save money for the process. Yes, it may cost upwards of $10,000 for just the residency. If ones already here illegally, and you've saved up that much, you could probably save a bit more and find a place to stay in another country. If this was during covid, I think the odds of a spousal immigrant staying in a camp on the boarder, are lower than for the people applying for asylum.
Honestly, anyone I've met, with a spouse from another country, has had no problem doing it this way. They meet while the one immigrating still has permanent residence in their home country. They commute and have a long distance relationship. They feel the risk of losing their family is too great, so they do it the right way. It's fair, to think that idea should extend to employers, as well.
Just a few years ago, im pretty sure you had to get married, they had to go out of country and file the residency paperwork, and then wait until they could be issued a permanent residency. If they stay married and lived in the country for at least 3 years (i think they could spend some time away) , they could file to become a citizen. The residency process took about 6 months.
Biden made it so if the spouse was already in the country, and overstayed thier original travelers / residency / student / whatever visa, or just entered the country illegally, they could apply for the permanent residency without having to leave.
The court reverted it back to the old rules.
Thanks. I think i fixed it. But just in case https://archive.ph/Cone4
Yeah, well...
Happened once, doesn't mean it's can't happen again. No matter how unlikely, this time.
They think this guys plan is happening. If you dig deeper into his ideology, you'll see part of the plan is a bunch of city-states run by corporations.
Nadella just wants a city-state all to himself.
Edit: Theres even a couple behind the bastards episodes on this guy. The VP is a follower of this idealogy. I'm honestly confused as to why hardly anyone is talking about this yet.
Pre-covid Musk quit Trumps presidential councils over "withdrawal of the Paris climate accord." If nothing else, theres a possibility, I guess...
Depends on how the bird flu feels about that...
Yet, after the election.
But, yes, it happened under Biden's presidency, Biden should get the credit.
Every Tesla owner should carry a window breaker in the car. Heck, everyone should carry a wondow breaker in every car.
what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one?
These are just examples, I have no opinion on what is the best.
Something like: I like the cameras from the Galaxy s23, the processor from the latest Pixel, the memory from the Razor. I mean whatever. I suppose Iphones could be included, but I figure it's more locked in than androids, I could be wrong.
Or even replacing a part from one phone with one that's better, for personal use? Like, even just putting pixel 7 cameras into a pixel 8 phone.
Besides the factory warrenty, and money spent, is it software? Is it having to reconfigure the hardware? Is it just space in general?
If we all have things we don't like about our phones, why aren't we able to just make it more to our liking?
if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out??
Im talking worst case scenario, something like Station 11 or the movie Contagion
If the bird flu started spreading rapidly from human to human, and it devastated our population as it can in birds or marine life, how long would one have to hole up in seclusion before the virus burned through the population and it would probably be safe to come out.
Obviously, this is not the current situation, and this scenario is a long way from becoming any type of reality. This is just a hypothetical. If turds hit the fan, I dont want to waste time trying to figure this out in the moment while everyone's ill, and can't answer.
Move over B's, I want first dibs on the tp!
Edit: I'm not thinking of a flu, as it behaves in the human population as we know it. I'm talking like zombie virus, without the worry of reanimation. Like, pretty much, everyone that catches it, dies, and it spreads fast and stealthily enough that the end result is a drastically lower population of survivors. How long would a person have to stay isolated to outlive the worst of it.
