If you’re paying an 8% tax and they propose a “2% tax hike” to 10%, what they actually proposed was a 25% tax hike.
They’re betting most people are too dumb to understand that.
And they’re usually right.

Europe is in a full-blown energy crisis.
In fact, Europe's energy crisis has gotten so bad that the European Commission is now recommending Europeans to work from home.
They are also recommending using public transportation to cut fossil fuel use.
Meanwhile, new IEA data shows that Europe has just 6 weeks worth of jet fuel remaining as the Iran War shortage worsens.
As a result, many flights are expected to be cancelled on non-essential routes.
Between the Russia-Ukraine War and the Strait of Hormuz closure, Europe's vulnerability to energy supply shocks has been exposed.
We expect another wave of inflation in Europe.
Apparently we're going to use our AI robots to build 6 billion skyscrapers, all of which are empty except for the penthouse...
Oh wait, everyone will want to be in the tallest building with the best views - so somehow each of the 6 billion skyscrapers will also be the tallest.
Some good points here, but about that punch line — statins have been around since the 1980s.. and are still believed to be effective at lowering bad cardiovascular events with very rare serious side effects by most cardiologists.
Recent guidelines may over reach with regards to LDL targets, but the LDL hypothesis hasn’t been “reversed” the way geocentrism was going on 40 years now.
As a side note, what is the NNT for whatever diet strategy you’d like to embark on with yearly plaque volume CT scans ? How well do “AI assisted” plaque volume CT scans replicate ? Are there any potential downsides to annual or x frequency CT scans ?
Die Hormus-Krise ist nicht einfach "nur " ein Konflikt über Öl. Sie ist der Hebel, mit dem Donald Trump die Weltwirtschafts bewegen möchte.

Wake up babe, a new Iran movie trolling Trump just dropped
Last night, Shamim Mafi, 44, of Woodland Hills, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for trafficking arms on behalf of the government of Iran. She is charged with a violation of 50 U.S.C. § 1705 for brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition manufactured by Iran and sold to Sudan.
If convicted, she faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
Mafi is an Iranian national who became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in 2016.
She is expected to make her initial appearance on Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court in downtown L.A. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Question for X-men movie lovers. In the X-men: The Last Stand movie, why didn't wolverine just inject The Phoenix with the "cure" to turn her human? Why did he, even after sizing up the "cure" on the ground left behind from a gun, did he jab his claws into her abdomen to kill her?
