They do. SS is not a tax. It’s a required investment plan. The reason it’s skewed in percentage is because it maxes out and is shown relative to their income. Just raise taxes the proper way.

Why not raise taxes instead of ruining a honorable program?

2·7 days agoWhat an odd phrasing. If you’re gonna add temporarily, might as well add some more.

53·7 days agoThis is cool until you realize it’s just someone’s old leftover electricity. You could eat for free if you worked at a restaurant and ate table scraps too.
Over funded how? Right now they still collect social security. Are you suggesting they should pay more into SS and then collect less to turn it into a tax?
Same with donating socks when I buy a pair or donating my change at the grocery store. Stay in your lane.
I’d agree with you. Sweating can be a 2-3. Starting to get hot. 4 might be crying involuntarily and nose running. 5 involves numbing to the point you don’t feel anything anymore and get a runners high.
Now that I think about it, people say my scales are fucked up. Like at the hospital what they ask pain on a scale of 1-10, I always imagine 10 being a combination of many of the worst tortures you have heard of or can imagine. I had my puss filled swollen inflamed taint sliced open and drained which is apparently one of the more painful procedures but it made sense for me to rate it an 8. Nurses tell me everyone says 10 at the smallest thing.
It’s not unlocked. It’s tap to scan just like a credit card. Though there’s no law here that you need to carry a license anyway. There isn’t most places as far as I know, but I do carry a physical id when going out of state.
No, I mean it’s all digital. Back in the day though I had one of those phone wallets though. Still have one for traveling out of state. Idk. In ~25 years I’ve never lost either. Knock on wood.
Indian is spicy in that it uses lots of spices. It doesnt rank real high on the spice meter imo. Even the “ghost pepper vindaloo” at a specialty hot Indian place near me doesn’t rate much more than 3/5 and that’s the hottest Indian I’ve found. Everything else at the many Indian places I’ve been only reaches maybe a 1.5. I grow ghost peppers annd I don’t think they really use em. Any Thai or Burmese places “white people spicy” is about the same.
It’s about penis and ai. Penis are funny. Farts too.
Same. I have a little card thing for when I’m traveling out of state but that’s the only time I carry anything but a phone.
On my phone like a civilized person.

I really liked Fortnite when it was a single player zombie game. Well coop, but that was fun.
It’s usually multiple foldovers of semi rigid plastic similar to most water bottles around here. They seem to function well. It’s probably six or more 1 litre bottles worth of plastic though.

Have you gotten it to fill out credit card stuff right? I can’t figure out what’s up with that.















I don’t think anyone would make it out of that alive.
