63% of new audits as of Summer 2023 targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000, according to figures compiled by The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board
@unusual_whales this sort of makes sense on a surface level, most people make less than that. The interesting part would be to see if the proportion of people being audited in each income bracket is even.
@Savvyhomestead Inflation is stemming from these corporate robbers, nothing but raiding the people so that the corporate entity and their puppeteers can scoop up the extra printed dollars from the fed to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us
Used car prices coming down in the USA. This isn't great for new car buying as dealers will offer less on a trade. Dealers still aren't moving much on new car pricing (yet).
@major I think the e-buyers like carvana are trying to reverse that, but I say let the prices fall, cars are not assets and honestly the whole covid no production thing is over
@major Yes people will be underwater on car loans, which sucks but I would say is typical, cars retain zero value, your underwater as soon as you leave the lot. I think the manufactures in their quest to extract as much money as possible from people have over inflated the price of cars and dealers made it even worse. For the life of me I can't understand why people are paying, I negotiated my and my wifes cars down tremendously, always prepare to walk out, cars get pumped out.
I've been in a bit of a developer rut. It's not lack of projects I want to do and can work on. It's more like analysis paralysis on some, death by a thousand cuts aversion on others. So I piss away time on social media. I decided to try to get some dev momentum by picking up something I first tried back in 2020 the last time I got dev writers block: The Ray Tracing Challenge. Back then it was Kotlin and I only got as far as basic ray projection before wrestling with the Cucumber test system and "real work" derailed me. This time I'm going to be trying it in Dart and Flutter. My progress, or lack thereof, will be in this repository with a corresponding plain text developer log. #programming#DartLang#flutter
@hankg This happens to me from time to time and I get discouraged, then all of a sudden I'll bust out all my issues on GitHub in like a day or two, then I'll be exhausted. Happened to me last week, killed 20+ issues and released an update then got sick and weekened ruined.
