And spend the money on rehab and not punishment. Look at Portugal as an example. And keeping drugs illegal is costing tax payers a TON of money. My GF works in the ER. She's had a patient in and out with sepsis and other serious infections that he got from a needle. Give or take they estimate that the it's cost the hospital "$1M" (in hospital money). Between sedation, partial amputation of a limb, etc. It would have cost the government pennies for a clean needle and some clean, medical grade heroin. And then force him into a treatment program instead of locking him up and making me pay for it.
Which is why I use the Walmart Rental store. Someone could make a very good amount of money if they had a decent rental system that I paid a small sum to borrow something (with deposit). Autozone and Advance Auto have it for their car tools.
When I needed a stud finder for hanging a few photos I found the stud finder that had the easiest to open/close packaging. Bought it, used it twice, returned it. I would have paid $1 or $2 to do that but that's not what stud finders cost and living in a small apartment I don't have a need or want to store yet another tool.
And why can't people package like Apple? Put crap behind a glass if it's easily stolen. Apple seems to actually put thought into how their packaging works and looks. Everything opens easily. It's all packaged nice and neat and uses a minimal amount of packaging materials.
Especially if the music is 'nonsense'. I listen to Technobase.fm all day long. It's one constant song spun by some DJs in Germany. There are no breaks and songs just flow one to the another. When the DJ does come on he's speaking German so tune him out and since they're matching beats there is almost always a constant beat that I use to type to.
So what you say is you take what the non-technical people say back to the technical people. Couldn't the technical people just talk to the technical people directly?
Yeah, but then the Democrats and Republicans would be in deadlock over the gender of the virgins and if they needed summoning by a wide stance and foot tapping.
Do you want to know how this will end up working? One of the companies we supply parts to has written in the contract that X% of parts must be from a minority business owner. So there is a guy that does nothing but work from home. When the company needs the X% of parts from him, we sell him those parts, he sells those parts to the company plus a markup. We drop ship them from our facility with his name on the 'return' address. He never even touches the parts.
Right now in some industries suppliers have to jump through a lot of hoops to get certified so it'd be almost impossible for another company to setup a near identical operation like ours. So there's a guy that works from home making 5% on hundreds of thousands of dollars doing nothing but making phone calls and filling out is LLC as a "Minority Business Owner".
What is the percentage of Men in elementary education, nursing, primary child care (babysitting), etc? Why aren't people all up in arms over this?

It's a philosophical question. Say we develop a perfect electromagnetic replacement for a synapse. What happens if you replace 1 synapse in a humans brain with one? What about 10%? What about 50%? Will they still have a 'soul' and consciousness?
Same goes for the rest of the body. What if we develop the perfect arm for amputees? What if someone wants two arms? What about both arms and legs?
> I see, so you'll only pay for it if you get something out of it? What is it you don't understand about how the other rich kids feel, again?
I'll only pay for it if I see society as a whole get something out of it.
> You want more services? Start paying more in, you can certainly afford it, Richie Rich. Household median is around 45k. Guess what - you're not going to be given more services, you're going to be ASKED TO PAY for more services.
Don't get all high and fucking mighty. I DID pay into it for 6 years. I then decided I wanted to complete my masters. So I went back to college. Long story short I got screwed out of a TA position and found myself without health insurance. So I've progressively developed a hole in one tooth because of a cavity and have a wrist injury that limits me to around 50% mobility because I can't afford to go to a doctor. I've been to the ER ONCE without health insurance. The visit, them to look me over and splint something was over a grand. Then you get 2 bills. You get a bill for $400 from the Hospital for 'renting' a room and all the overhead. And then you get billed from the service that provides the doctor.
That '70k' a year job doesn't start for another month and in the mean time I get to deal with the pain of my tooth because our country has decided as a whole that providing for its citizens isn't worth it.
Second, Fuck You. I'm watching my father die of cancer right now because of this mentality. He has always responded very well to chemo when he comes out of remission. Except 3 years ago his company decided that at 58 he was 'redundant'. So he used almost all the rest of his severance to pay for COBRA for one year for him and my mom. And since that ran out he's been with nothing. He's paid into the system since he was 18 and now he's sitting at the house I grew up in wasting away. He's always been around 220-240 stocky Rugby player. (He still plays at 61 when he gets the chance). The last time I saw him his clothes were hanging off of him and he was considerably thinner. He's also got a chronic cough that is most likely related to the cancer. Do you want to guess what oncology appointment costs? I'm not talking about any blood work or even treatment. Last I heard one bag of chemo was something around $10k.
Until I start working full time again I can't provide for myself, let alone him. I'm hoping and praying that the SCOTUS doesn't deny preexisting conditions. Because at that point I can do what ever I can to make him my dependent in the IRS's eyes and
Meanwhile, what have we spent on the F22 project? How much has Afghanistan and Iraq cost us since 2001? Everyone is going broke but I'd rather live in a country where they go broke taking care of their citizens rather than going broke blowing up someone elses.
I never want my children to be punished for going back to school. I never want my kids to see me wasting away dying of some easily treatable disease because because I lost my job.
So yes. I'll pay into it if I see that it is doing society something. Other than that, fuck off.
Not only that, they tax you if you leave. It's amazing how complicated our tax code is yet we can't provide basic human needs (IMHO) to our citizens.
They tax you if you're born. They tax you when you die. They tax you if you live elsewhere and they tax you if you renounce your citizenship. Yet corporations and the rich manage to find loopholes to avoid a majority of it.
If you want to see what Apple is parsing out and if the Government has a hand in it just start scheduling fun stuff.

You mean like all those pinup photos from WWII? Here's a before and after. (NSFWish, they're pinups). People have been photoshopping since before photoshop was invented. They still paid a team of analog artists to fix up all those photographs.
Jobs was a perfectionist and one that just happened to know what people wanted. He had his misses (the Cube) but rumor had it that the iPhone wasn't going public until it was 'perfect'. It just wasn't the big things, it was the small stuff like how a font looked in WYSIWYG or even rectangles with rounded corners.
Bill fired up his demo and it quickly filled the Lisa screen with randomly-sized ovals, faster than you thought was possible. But something was bothering Steve Jobs. "Well, circles and ovals are good, but how about drawing rectangles with rounded corners? Can we do that now, too?"
"No, there's no way to do that. In fact it would be really hard to do, and I don't think we really need it". I think Bill was a little miffed that Steve wasn't raving over the fast ovals and still wanted more.
Steve suddenly got more intense. "Rectangles with rounded corners are everywhere! Just look around this room!". And sure enough, there were lots of them, like the whiteboard and some of the desks and tables. Then he pointed out the window. "And look outside, there's even more, practically everywhere you look!". He even persuaded Bill to take a quick walk around the block with him, pointing out every rectangle with rounded corners that he could find.
To 90% of the other CEOs out there they would have called it good and moved on. Steve HAD to have the rounded rectangles. And this is one thing I don't mind about OS X. The defaults are such that they actually look good. I recently moved to MATE as my window manager but configuring it is frustrating more than anything. I don't like the choice. I just want to be told what the options are and deal with those and then use my computer to work rather than work on configuring my computer.

That's just stuff officially sponsored by the company. Have you cross referenced all the individual contributors and seen where they work?
For example digging through FBSD code all day you may find bugs or code improvements. It's not a big enough project to warrant getting your whole company involved so you submit your own patches.
I'm willing to bet that all three have some proprietary stuff that they're not feeding back. It doesn't mean that they completely ignore the community. Apple owns CUPS now. iXsystems picked up FreeNAS development.
GPLv3 wouldn't probably make it anywhere into these companies.
Also, you loose nothing. If something is loose you should tighten it as not to lose it. Although I guess in this case you sort of did lose a loose customer.
And if they wanted to mitigate some of the long term brain damage caused by boxing they'd go back to bare knuckle. Yeah you're going to have some broken wrists/fists but I doubt that you'll have the same severity of brain injuries.
I'm sure nature has an advantage in making sure we don't permanently damage ourselves in natural fights. I can't imagine what the deer population should be like if when two males went at it one ended up dead instead of just with a few broken antlers.

It's the same policy as Advance Auto and Auto Zone. You "buy" the full price of the tool and return it in 14 days or they just charge you full price.

So at this point it's been taxed 3 times. And as Andy Dufresne pointed out. Just give it away to your family before you die in increments.

Define "make any sort of money". I make $70k a year as an engineer. Compared to most people it's good. Compared to the top it's a drop in the bucket.
I would have absolutely no qualms paying 50% taxes if it meant I got some sort of services for it like they do elsewhere.
I'll try to find the birth tax.
The death tax, 'you' are still getting taxed. It's your money even though you're dead. That still counts as a tax in my book.
So if you make more than 91k you get taxed. So, yes you do get taxed abroad.
