That's correct, it is, but that has nothing to do with the post I was replying to, which claimed
Anything not to paint Israel as child murderers, I guess.
Either way, I'd say that the the lede they did use - 'Israeli airstrikes killed at least 100 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Thursday[...]' - is just fine.
What would you have had them call it?
Israeli strike on a school in Gaza kills at least 14 children, 5 women, and (presumably) 8 men, Palestinian health officials say"?
As it happens, children, women, and men are all 'people', and using the collective term makes for a more concise title. It's not like they're sugarcoating what actually happened.
The bodies of 14 children and five women were recovered from the school in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City
It's literally the first sentence of the second paragraph.
As a US citizen, I consider the current administration an enemy, too.
I look forward to watching people finally reach their breaking point and start firebombing government buildings. Preferably while Trump is in them.
Best thing to come out of the Trump presidency thusfar. Glad our Canadian neighbors are resisting the conservative takeover, even though we aren't.
Meta will suffer "immediate and irreparable loss" in the absence of an emergency relief
Well, I didn't know nor care about this book before, but now I want to read it.
It's not taught to us (in the US), either; in my opinion, this is the sort of thing that should be covered in the last year of primary school. There's so many general things you need to know to function in society as an adult that we're just expected to learn on our own.
You obviously know better than I do, so take this with a grain of salt, but I was curious, and a quick google search turned up this source, which says:
Let’s say you are a tax resident in Portugal, and your gross annual income for 2022 is €30,000. To calculate your income tax liability for the year, you would follow these steps:
Determine your tax bracket: Your €30,000 falls into the 35% tax bracket. Calculate the tax owed on the portion of your income in that bracket: The portion in the 35% bracket is €9,678 (€30,000 – €20,322). To calculate the tax owed on this portion, you would multiply it by the tax rate of 35%, which gives you €3,384.30. Calculate the tax owed on the portion of your income in the lower tax brackets: The portion of your income in the lower tax brackets is €20,322 (€30,000 – €9,678). To calculate the tax owed on this portion, you would add up the tax owed at each lower tax rate. That gives you:
€1,033.80 for the portion of your income in the 14.5% bracket €1,259.96 for the portion of your income in the 23% bracket €2,901.30 for the portion of your income in the 28.5% bracket
Adding these amounts together gives you a total of €5,195.06.
One of the benefits off of the top of my head, is that people wouldn’t be scared of their salary increasing just enough, to actually lower their clean income.
Why wouldn't they? This isn't how it works now, but people are still scared of it.
To be clear, the first three tax brackets are at $11600, $47150, and $100526 (for a single filer), at 10%, 12% and 22% respectively. If you make $58000, the first $11600 is taxed at 10%, the next $35550 is taxed at 12%, and the remaining $10850 is taxed at 22%. (This is the exact example the IRS gives.) If you go from making $47k (the top of which falls in the 12% bracket) to $48k (the top of which falls in the 22% bracket), you're still making more money. That last $850 is just taxed at a higher rate.
You wash your towels after a single use? Just so we're clear, you're supposed to wash yourself before you use the towel... they shouldn't be that dirty... right?
Please don't judge us all by Florida's actions. In turn, we won't judge you by the dumbest 0.1% of your country's population.
