Watch this. I’m a republican.

I agree with you kind soul. Some days this place seems like a toxic cesspool. You better not have a viewpoint that is even barely contrary to the this general populace’s.

For some reason I thought that my instance isn’t making a copy of everything from other servers. I’m probably wrong, but I thought that pictures and things like that aren’t hosted locally and are only called when the front-end asks for it from other servers right?

I’m deathly afraid of the second part of that, I don’t want to deal with the wrong thing being posted by someone else on my server. :(

my goodness, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time.

This is so wrong. lol

#2. I like #2.

Indeed, and many are allowed to go about their lives while awaiting trial.

We have to be especially careful with people with significant resources. Any small mistakes caused by moving quickly can be leveraged for less consequences do to technicalities. In these cases, being reactionary is a detriment.

but the pointer-pointer isn’t pointing at the pointer…

I think they call it “due process”.

Found in Table B-30 in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

• Race
• Color
• Religion
• Retaliation (a.k.a. reprisal)
• Sex/Gender (gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy)
• National origin (not nationality)
• Equal pay and compensation
• Age (over 40)
• Disability (physical or mental)
• Genetic Information

Yeah we have guidance to not discriminate and hire based on national origin. It’s better to look at the whole group of people we’ve hired and realize that there are a small number of people that do this. Still, I have conflicted feelings, and I’m trying my best to beat my biases. This is really the cost of moral actions, and it’s worth it.

I love this thread! It shall be saved.

i don’t see how they can be misleading. the average person understands the difference between rates/percentages and resulting totals.

are you suggesting that the wealthy get audited at such an increased rate so that their total number of audits are the same as normal people? that would require almost 100% of all returns to be audited which is ridiculous.

i’m ok with being wrong and learning, but none what what you suggest is fair or makes any sense

Please ignore my negative initial vote score, as I have the privilege of being bot-downvoted by CCP sympathizers because of comments on this post https://lemmy.world/post/2338419, there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole.

You are dying on an an hill made of data manipulated by new outlets that profit off of your attention. Below is an image from a 2019 GAO report that displays the audit rates with more granularity.

Even your own sources (https://trac.syr.edu/reports/706/ referenced in your Fox Article) with 2022 still show that income greater than 1M is audited at 2.38% vs income <$25K with EITC is at 1.27%. You just keep beating up your own argument.

My statistics do support my statement that the IRS audit rates for the rich are higher than normal people, and in fact higher than the poorest. His statement is, again, incorrect, misleading, and intended to incite anger.
