You’re absolutely correct. For income taxes many states and the federal government offset each others debts.

In Canada provinces can choose to harmonize taxes or collect independently.


Which misses the point. If the point is to reduce the number of taxes, having the federal government collect 10 different types of taxes instead of state governments collecting 7 types of taxes won't change all the different taxes we have.

There is no singular place we can change how many different taxes you pay. There's... thousands? Tens of thousands? Once you factor in city, county, state, federal, special districts, etc.


Maybe stop US should stop funding ISIS, Al Queda in Syria, mujahideen in Afghanistan…

Don't be silly. Can't have stability in Israel's adversaries

Name active Israel's adversaries that are not US adversaries.

All those who chant "death to Israel" happily attach "death to America" to it.


Why do you think that is?

I think it’s not news that’s the problem. It’s the sources of news are often biased and spend very little time explaining events in context. I much prefer an hour long news program or multi-page article that details events and perspectives going years into the past. We have a surprising large amount of influence on events around the world. Everything from the companies you support to your politics can vastly change world events.

I really dislike the notion that events outside of your country are somehow not important.


I presume these are surveillance drones and are programmed to loop back to origin


Surveillance gathered by an completely autonomous drone with no outside data, stationed far enough away to require refueling, close enough to enemy operations to be useful, that then needs to make its way back to origin, intact, through hostile territory, quickly enough for the gathered information to be useful, seems like a preeeetty big lift. Something a startup would promise to tackle with a star team of technologists over the course of like 10 years? Sure. Something they’d have designed within the past, like, year while getting shot at? I’d have to see that believe it.


I agree with #DefundThePolice, buts that’s not his current position and he’s kept the police chief from the prior administration.


Until we have many redundant layers of backup, the risk of drugging copilot and going down is a non zero risk that triggered many of these policies.


This is precisely what allows for the NHS to be cannibalized. They underfunded one of the best systems of healthcare and replaced it with private care for ultra wealthy while reducing quality of care for vast majority of people.


Private care has been available in Britain throughout the history of the NHS and is available to people far below the 'ultra wealthy' strata. Don't ruin a valid point with hyperbole.


And some US allies have seen no change, I’m hoping that’s not a metric for which countries to invade.


Wing-nut? Is that now the census for the majority of the world outside of the US and UK? If we’re looking at legal precedent, then not taking action could see massive legal challenges that could destroy Microsoft for complicity in genocide.


Mine came with an magnetic anti-sag bar and it was badly needed


Mine also came with a bar but my motherboard didn’t have the appropriate holes for it.
