Of course it’s a choice, it’s a settlement. They could’ve refused and gone to court, where they probably would’ve ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)
Man, that last episode of Curb when he and Larry were talking about their wills on the golf course, I got a funny feeling that it might be foreshadowing of Lewis’s pending demise, but I thought it would be a fictional death of his character from the show. RIP
Y’all downvote and make jokes, but you haven’t provided me with any counter to my point.
What are you gonna say? “Trump bad”?
If Trump is bad and his policies are bad, why isn’t Biden crushing them? Why is it that Janet Yellen, just last month, stated Biden’s intent to continue Trump’s policy?
The answer is they both suck monster balls. One just sucks less than the other at the moment. Just cause “trump bad” doesn’t automatically mean “Biden awesome”
“The new year brings higher federal tax burdens for U.S. businesses. The heftier federal tax bills employers face in 2023 are primarily derived from implementation of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the phasing out of temporary provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (TCJA). While the federal government is imposing a larger burden on businesses, state-level tax cuts that recently kicked in are providing countervailing relief in many parts of the country. In fact, 2023 began with business tax reduction of some form taking effect in many states.”
The IRA has made it impossible for large profitable companies to pay $0 in taxes. They’re now subject to a 15% minimum tax even if their tax burden could be $0 by using loopholes.
Currently it just applies to large corporations making a ton of money, but it would be easy enough to widen the net.
So remember, Trump made some billionaire CEOs and companies pay $0 in taxes. Biden made them pay 15%. There’s your reason to vote for him.
Actually they want the Palestinians gone and land control, so if Hamas surrenders, it wouldn’t bring back Gaza or even change the situation much at this point.
They spent this entire time taking land in the west bank despite it having nothing to do with Gaza nor even geographically connected. So that right there sums up their goals.
Israel is the dominating military force, if they wanted to, they could have easily dismantled Hamas years ago, especially considering they are the ones who supported its creation.
There is no “their people” there hasn’t been any kind of election since 2006 where Hamas won minority control of Gaza. A year later they cemented control by arresting, killing or expelling opposition politicians. Hamas has always been a militant group not a political party.
The leadership of Hamas doesn’t live in Gaza and doesn’t care about civilians. As for the Israeli government, Netanyahu seems to prefer hardliners in control as this lets him have an excuse to take a much more hard line approach to use of force in Gaza.
There is no one looking out for or caring about the Palestinian people.
Surge pricing for Uber and Lyft is partially passed along to the driver and used as an incentive to get more drivers on the road. Drivers get a special notification on their screen that rides are worth more than usual, which might cause them to start driving if they’re not already on the road, which decreases the wait times for riders.
The equivalent for Wendy’s would be if they also increased employee salaries during that time to encourage more workers to come in and make burgers faster, not just to gouge the customer.
Though even when surge pricing was active I made shit money when I was side hustling Uber and Lyft.
The concept of surge pricing for something that was supposed to be a side job for drivers makes sense. During a blizzard, if driving Uber is my side hustle, there’s no way I’m getting in the car to pick up some schmuck after he drank too much at Applebee’s. But if I can charge more for that ride, I will start to consider it.
But then the “gig” job became people’s full time job and everything, as it must, went to shit.
But for Wendy’s? The meat is there. The employee is there. Everything is already there, ready and waiting to make burgers. So surge pricing isn’t correcting a supply/demand imbalance - it’s just on-demand price gouging.
They do hate when Uber does it, but they already let the taxi companies with regulations die, so they don’t have a choice if they want that type of service.
Can wait till they secede from the union so we don’t have to pay for this shit. Lazy broke none state tax paying bastards need to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
The state shouldn’t do it, but if they are, they should be made to do it dirty and feel the consequences. Making an execution clean and easy is just find encourage lawmakers to put more people to death.
The governor should be forced to carry out the execution himself, give him incentive to pardon
