NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!
@RossionQ@marcorandazza I've been down to a wreck at 40m, my dive computer said max bottom time of 8 minutes before starting ascent. I don't know what it is for 50m but safe to say it's less than that.
@Parental_OnX@nikitabier@TheJoeySwoll@X The review would need to identify what rules were broken and the tweets responsible. Anyone dumb enough to break the rules and put up their own money for a review deserves to lose it.
@nikitabier@TheJoeySwoll@X Surely you need a better approach than "we will not be reviewing this decision" if you have a dumb model calling the shots.
How about this - let users pay for a human review of their account. And if the appeal is accepted the money is refunded.

Tribunal finds the policy of permitting "trans women" to use female facilities was harassment in relation to sex & GC belief and its trans equality proceedure was harassment in relation to GC belief.
When a self-proclaimed civil rights organization puts Ayaan Hirsi Ali, of all people, on a "hate watch" list, you know it has been twisted into a grotesque hate group itself. But this was only a sample of its perversions. Ayaan: The SPLC Targeted Me. Now Its Reckoning Has Come. https://t.co/qdPMTxsFpq
