One of the criticisms levied was people could deduct more than they actually spent, because they could use the $0.55 without receipts, but the reality was actually the cost was closer to $0.30.
Of course, you'd probably be best off making an actual business and call all $0.30 an expense rather than the take the $0.55 out of income.
Pretty sure the 3-10/hour already has new car money removed.
Also, one needs to save payroll tax, but the miles driven deduction takes care of most of the income tax (the number deducted is $0.25/mile over true TCO according to this study).
If the $10/hour number is fairly accurate, it's not a terrible option, not big money, but I can certainly see why people would do it. Of course I imagine it varies a lot regionally too (tipping culture varies a lot).
There shouldn't be jobs that can't support a person when worked full-time.
Either I end up supporting that person, or they become a vector of disease and crime contributing to blight.
Much better to have one person make a livable wage than 3 people making not even close to enough.
The amount of government assistance is about the same (efficiency gain of fewer people), but the company saves money and one person if freed from the system
The premise that being Bitcoin rich doesn't require laundering a lot of cash is pretty weak too.
Bitcoin gives you a legitimate transaction to pay taxes on (selling it), but if you raise flags, they'll track back your transactions and see them tumbled af and investigate, or see them outright shady.
Of you want to spend the cash, it needs to be laundered.
Door to door a flight isn't much quicker than 12 hours, 1 hourish waiting, an hour ish to the airport, an hour ish to the destination, if you need to transport anything, an hour ish to pick it up, an hour ish to get a rental car, that's six hours right there.
There's flight time too, I know plenty of people that would take the 12 hour drive with good internet and comfortable space over the 6-8 hours door to door flight. They'd prefer to get home at 3 am rather than noon with a flight too.
If fewer than 400 calls a year come in over an easily anonymous VoIP service and involve high risk situations things are better than the current state.
Especially if you add in the human element, the call is simply flagged as at risk of being a swatting, giving the human one more thing to evaluate.
Bush, 43, did actually, in reality socialize airport security
Before Bush, it was private security meeting standards (that were never missed on record), within his terms it became government that failed to meet standards.
150k or so private jobs became government jobs. The largest socialization in US history. And it happened fast.

Also, ignore my drunken understanding of tax for a second, definitely best doing the $0.55...
That wasn't my under from the initial article.

Agreed, the person is probably living off the 5-10k/year in depreciation too.

Exactly, minimum wage increases are about increasing innovation and productivity.
Why would you think that's a bad thing?

The overall economy grows.
I'm not sure that's true.
Google play and Spotify offered me a better experience than a personal library and a sub Sonic server.
from the summary
"It came out that, over the last few days, he'd been passing out and losing consciousness."
The urgent care clinics and smaller emergency rooms won't admit you for that, and why not use an Uber/Lyft/Taxi in that situation?
If you're passing out where I live, they make you go to the big hospital first.
The clinics won't see you, and even the local emergency room won't.

Could it not be argued that it is Microsoft Europe, Microsoft Europe is a European company, and it must adhere to European laws?
Assuming there is indeed a European entity.
The conceit was that they had muscle memory that allowed them to doge bullets though.
Yeah, it was stupid, but that wasn't the point.
The point was flipping the shotguns around and kicking all the ass.
We don't.
Not generally anyway.
Most of our radiator systems are quite old, and rarely updated. Usually an update would be to forced air with a central furnace and AC.
Obviously self driving cars aren't replacing 6000 Mike flights, but there's a whole lot of flights in the sub 1000 mile range.
I'm not convinced,
Sure you save 200-300 on the system maybe, but depending on how many games you buy, there's a chance for saving on the PC vs the Console overall.

And not worrying about latency.
This sounds like TMobile US with lower limits and harsher throttling.
TMobile gives 28gb, and then only deprioritizes during busy times (full speed most of the day).

Oh, I'm stupid, the most likely answer is that they have equipment they own and it's depreciating faster than they bring in money.
Since depreciation is not a cash event, but is a loss, they can be cash flow positive while losing money.
In theory this will mean they won't have enough money to pay replace the equipment when it is totally dead.
If you take out loans quicker than your payments, that's positive cash flow without making money.
Selling old assets for exactly what they're worth (what you paid minus depreciation) is cash flow positive and not profitable.
Selling shares is cash flow positive and not profitable.
These are just off the top of my head.

But but, let's replace the private companies that didn't let anything in appropriate through.
Bush oversaw the largest socialization of private industry in the history of the US, and yet nobody calls him a socialist.
I had an update take down all three of the PCs where I work (to be fair, they're the exact same system, so it could be at least partially HPs fault).
I had to do a clean reinstall. Zero data was lost, but it was a huge pain in the ass.
Also, companies are already snapping pictures of clothes and pasting them onto stock art.
Catalog modeling is already being automated away.
