@peterlombard@awkwardgoogle@grok There are dozens of online raffle companies popping up on social media. 'Giving away' anything from cash, to cars and houses.
@BraveSirRobin42@sophielouisecc@jaceb01 Although it might appear contrary, labour are not stupid. They know that if they trap people on benefits, they are beholden to them when it comes time to vote. As any sensible party will try to cut the benefit bill and make them poorer.
@sophielouisecc Its nonsensical to tax what tax has paid for. The only real way to make it fair, is to raise the tax bracket to match whatever the benefit threshold is. Then we don't pay tax on amounts that benefits claimants get. But this would be a massive loss since labour removed the cap.
@2147mill If you had the 300k to invest or buy the property, there wouldn't be any need for a mortgage would there?
Also, if we are looking at this as a monthly investment, where is this fictional person living whilst they invest thousands?
@LionPhlox@ARCRaidersMedia I kinda get this. The risk vs reward on some of the purple key rooms (dam control, spaceport control, confiscated room on bluebgate) can be pretty poor considering they are all high pvp areas.
@DrJohnBishop 'Its not what you know, its who you know' is a saying that I've heard my whole life. And it is 💯 true, particularly in business/workplaces. If your face fits, you'll go far. If you upset the status quo, even if your ideas are good, you're going nowhere.
@ArcRaidersNow Underwhelming. Still getting ratted as people said, and what's the point in earning all this stuff a so close to reset? Would have been good right after expedition closes
@TheRooster I never crafted or bought anything really until this week. Just lived off what I found or was given from guests. But after being involved in a big gun fight on Stella, every lobby is shoot on sight. Ive lost a lot of stuff 😅
@2147mill Rachel did no such thing. Lifetime ISAs have been around for years. Its just one of the few things she hasn't stripped us of YET. They are under review though and I agree, people should be taking advantage.
@HotSauceZee Battlefield was fortunate enough to come out at a CoD low point and everyone (including me) found it a breath of fresh air. None of us saw Arc Raiders coming though. That game provides a truly unique experience that has people hooked.
@CeliaBedelia Find a picture of your husbands Dad at a similar age to your husband. Let him notice how similar they look and see if he can connect the dots as to what he will look like at your age 🤣
@robprogressive Everyone should pay 20% on everything they earn. No jacking up tax for the high earners, but no hiding behind high dividend/low salary set ups either. Interest, salary, dividends, all taxed the same for everyone. Everyone does their bit, high earners more than others obvs.
