  • If the alternative is Trump or the current GOP, I will absolutely vote for him.

    Unfortunately, I don't believe we'll have anything beyond controlled opposition moving forward in national elections. So I doubt it'll ever come up.

    Yay capitalism! We did it!

  • Depends... Tax evasion is super illegal, and you will go to prison for it (unless you can afford good attorneys, then maybe not). That is different than simply not paying your taxes, but good luck getting away with that.

  • Churches should get tax deduction for money spent on real charity

    As long as this shit is actually audited, because they 1000% will cheat on this.

  • Always just for the rich. When they reduce IRS funding, they audit low hanging fruit because it's much cheaper

  • I've been using Bazzite on my main laptop as well and it's fantastic.

    I even found out that you can create a steamOS distrobox. No real need to use it, but thought that was cool.

  • Gen Z is drowning in debt as buy-now-pay-later services skyrocket: 'They're continuing to bury their heads in the sand and spend'

  • Right, that's how they fooled people for years. Any normal person would think "overdraft protection" means, "deny the transaction so you don't overdraft." But nope, complete opposite.

    It was so scummy.

  • Oh it was far worse than that...

    They would actually change the order of your transactions in order to maximize the number of overdrafts (and each cost $30+).

    For example, say you've got $80 in your account. You buy three separate meals over the course of Monday and Tuesday, and you've got $50 left in your account. But now you remember that there is that one thing they NEEDS to be paid for, but it's $75 and you only have $50 on your account.

    Well, you have no choice but to make the payment that brings you to -$25, and incur the single overdraft fee. Sucks, but $30 penalty is less than not having Internet for a month or whatever, so you do it.

    So to recap: You had $50 left after those 3 meals. You made one single transaction that brought your account into negative, that means one overdraft fee, right?

    Nope.

    They would literally re-order the transactions, put the largest one first ($75), bringing your balance down to $5, THEN they would process the meals from Monday and Tuesday giving you THREE separate overdraft fees of $30 each.

    So now you owe the bank $90 on top of the $25. And that was what the banks sold as, "overdraft protection."

    Shit was disgustingly egregious. Obama made it illegal I believe.

  • I mean, we've been telling them their entire lives that the planet is doomed, and they have no future... So why the fuck not bring on the debt?
