It’s not though. American employers don’t want to pay a living wage, therefore a 20%tax is issued to the diner. That’s not confusing and can be summed up in one sentence. If the idea is make other nations seem like idiots then… ok, I guess but it’s not “confusing”. Oh nooooo, in England I have to pay a tax on television? I’m so stupid and confused.

…but that doesn’t make it “confusing”. I’m not sure why any adult would find +20% confusing. Is it fair? That’s a different question.

So this article is talking about the Phoenix-Metro area because most data centers and INTEL are in Chandler, AZ. They offset heating and cooling costs with the lack of natural disasters and highly predictable weather. +4° doesn’t mean s* to the metro. It’s literally built to survive +150F° (street) temps.

The Central Arizona Project (CAP) does a good job to ensure our water supply but has been corrupted by foreign “needs” like alfalfa for Saudi livestock. The great Hohokam tribes didn’t plan for this when they built the original canals 1,000 years ago and connected the Pima with the means to produce the world’s greatest cotton. Olive oil, citrus, and so many other local agro THRIVE here. We shouldn’t be dumping water into Saudi alfalfa.

Regardless, data centers, Intel, Motorola, AMEX, Raytheon, Charles Schwab… have all paid their required taxes and put all three of my kids through the best public schools our tax dollars could fund. House values are holding strong and because of how many H1B visas live here, Chandler/Tempe/Mesa has some of the best variety of foods than most places in the southwest.

We have one of the largest nuclear power plants, our solar and wind capabilities are off the charts… we just need an administration that shuns fossil fuels and will stand up against farming exports. Oddly, both go hand in hand.

Isn’t that the goal of this administration? Make the US so dumb we can’t even spell “union”

I forget where but someone online was describing a potential plot for Idiocracy 2 and it turns out the rest of the world is a glorious utopia that keeps the US from “spreading” and the US is so dumb they’ve just never tried to escape their garbage walls or been curious about what’s on the other side. I hope they call it Idiocracy Too.

Didn’t Oppenheimer do this for real? Tried to poison his university tutor with an apple or some shit, and everyone was like “silly Oppenheimer, here’s your degree now go have fun with your death machine thingy”.

Congratulations! My ratio winner was always The Big Bang Theory, complete series. I don’t even care much tor the show 😁

They’re calling us drunk instead of saying AAA titles have been a garbage money grab that almost always fail to launch, torture developers, and are filled with bloatware slop? Ok, games radar.
