Looking at the C notes, quite a black market we've developed.

Those numbers are wildly affected by things not on the graph, though. Houston has a higher than average takehome because Texas has no income tax--instead, we have a higher than average sales tax. So you take it home, then you send it right back out again.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-02-2018, 09:10 AM

Does that Texas sales tax apply to food too?

Clodfobble · 10-02-2018, 12:30 PM

Grocery store food, no; restaurant food, yes. There's some weird overlap now that so many stores have "prepared food" sections like rotisserie chickens, etc., and of course the other stuff a grocery store sells usually gets taxed. There are a handful of other special exemptions, though, like medicines and baby products.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-02-2018, 01:21 PM

Pretty much the same here.

The chances of you getting hit by a meteorite are slimmer than anything but hitting the lottery.

I simply refuse to be any part of this.

Thanks to US CBP, the border zone has become the twilight zone.

Anyway, this is shitty regardless of administration. My grievances with the Obama administration, while fewer than with current resident, are clustered around making the security state permanent, making war footing permanent, and giving bankers a free ride all of which are continuing. To be perfectly fair, there is zero chance Hillary would have turned any of this around hence my "wasted" 3rd party vote.

WHAT THE FUCK!

You should worry V, you're in the zone and you look sort of Canadian.
