Cool way to break your computer wide open to security exploits.

Also, an awesome image of text, so people can’t just copy & paste it, but that’s more of a hidden blessing.

As usual, we can RTFM. Bash command line editing refers to Readline library

Command line editing is provided by the Readline library, which is used by several different programs, including Bash.

and has a section on searching. Readline library command line editing also covers searching.

Before trying ctrl-s, you may want to disable software flow control: run stty -ixon & add it to your initialization files. Otherwise, you’ll pause terminal output. ctrl-q resumes terminal output.

Needs alt text

YOU CAN SAY FUCK ON THE INTERNET!?!?

I’d like to thank OP for not censoring their alt text

Rainbow write saying “I’m made of magic motherfucker”

Rainbow Brite?

It’s your system

Evil techcorp’s servers (hosting online services I send requests containing data to) are mine? Cool! How do I sell those?

Or are we referring to local software that gets & sends my data without authorization?

you either accept it or don’t get to use what you bought

Claiming that’s theft seems like (taking artistic license with the word steal to express) wanting an agreement that wasn’t offered. Like

How dare evil techcorp make a service I want to use with voluntary conditions I don’t want? That’s stealing!

I don’t think computer hardware typically has those types of agreements, and I can change the software & choose online services.

Europe is good at failing?

So, it’s their system & it’s not theft by usage agreement?

steal your data

Do they break into my computer or accounts & take it unauthorized? Is it data in my private systems/networks/accounts that I exclusively own or is legally protected as exclusively mine?

Funny thing: developers say the same.

Learn fucking attention span?

Thanks for the alt text & transcript in OP. It’s missing here, though.

Islam is still of the same lineage (Abrahamic).

They need to toss in unrelated & troll religions.

That makes more sense.

Long-term capital gains are taxed significantly less than ordinary income: that’s partly to incentivize stabler markets by rewarding long-term investments over short-term market timing activity.

The annual ceiling on contributions to social security is bullshit & needs to be eliminated. However, there’s no such ceiling for medicare:

All covered wages are subject to Medicare tax.

Have you looked at the taxable income distribution/quantiles? The top marginal tax rate seems to begin somewhere between the minimum adjusted gross income (AGI) for the top 1% & 2%. < 1% have an AGI over $1M. We’re talking about increasing marginal rates for the top fractions of a percent here. While that could increase federal revenues, it’s unclear that will boost revenues as much as we need.

For example, the Social Security administration publishes annual reports on solvency proposals with summaries. Eliminating that taxable maximum alone won’t save social security. Increasing the payroll tax rate, however, will definitely save it. It’d help to know the effect of taxing all taxable income.

Keeping programs solvent might require increasing taxes on the bulk or a more significant part of the population.

The highest rate is on annual taxable income in the hundreds of thousands and up. The hundreds of billions are also getting taxed that top marginal rate.

Your statement is muddled. Maybe the word same is missing like

Everyone in the top bracket shouldn’t be paying the same marginal tax rate. Beyond the start of the current top bracket, the marginal tax rate should continue increasing (for millionaires & billionaires).

Some of your ideas are confused. Income taxes are already progressive. Taxable income already includes income other than wages. The standard deduction exempts the low 5 figure annual incomes from taxes.

The way you suggest realizing things that are already true draws into question whether you’ve ever filed taxes. Likewise for the people agreeing with you: have they ever filed taxes?

and the tax brackets should go all the way up to the highest income level

What does that even mean? They’re lower limits. Everything that exceeds the lower limit for the top bracket (which has no upper limit) is taxed the top rate.

Yet another way for the herd to thin itself out? Respect.

Yep, like this one, though it could earn more in bonds or investments.

Low-interest loans are great, too: if they don’t need to be repaid right away, they can be leveraged to earn back more than their cost.

As much as we hate x, airing negative publicity over their attempt to deny responsibility by directly citing back their policy & asking questions might be good.

I thought credit was the main selling point.

• Ability to dispute & reverse charges.
• Flexibility to keep cash in an account earning higher interest until payment is due.
• Not having to constantly check enough cash is in your low interest checking account (which you’ll keep low so your cash earns more interest elsewhere & to minimize losses in case of unauthorized debits).

Gee, I wonder who people are going to believe.

Do other payment processors exist? Why is this hard for you?
