The Last Man on Earth To Speak His Language (axios.com)
From a report: An elderly man in Peru named Amadeo Garcia Garcia is the last person on earth to speak his native language, Taushiro, the NY Times' Nicholas Casey reports in a remarkable long-read. A combination of disease and exploitation have led the Taushiro, a tribe of hunter-gatherers in the Amazon, to the verge of extinction. In the last century, at least 37 languages have disappeared in Peru alone, lost in the steady clash and churn of national expansion, migration, urbanization and the pursuit of natural resources.
If he's the only one who speaks his native language, how can anyone know that he actually speaks it? He could just be babbling in complete gibberish, and everyone would be standing there going ... aww, how sad ... nobody else speaks his language any more ...
im not rich by any means. and im going to save about 2 grand a year under the new plan. over 80% of americans are going to save money. the only ones who are not are those rich folks in states that have high property taxes. and thats hardly the fault of the feds, take it up with your state. if your house costs more than 750K or your property taxes are over 10K.... you ARE rich, and now you will be paying your fair share. isnt that what the left wanted???
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
You realize that prepaying income taxes does _nothing_ to the amount you owe? Unless your required to pay quarterly, then it saves you some interest and fees, still doesn't affect your return.
