How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.

The IRS normally doesn’t share files with anyone. Don’t you know the old saying? The best way not to get caught as a drug dealer is to file your taxes.

If you look at my other comment, undocumented people in the US contribute over $90B in taxes every year!

Mostly financially. Related to hiusing. I don’t really wanna get into more details, but I’m essential stuck with my current living situation for the rest of my life, unless I’m willing to lose tens of thousands of dollars (or even more if I try to improve the place I’m currently at instead of cutting my losses and moving at an already big loss). Pressure to secure stable housing for an eventual old age made me make tough decisions that in hindsight were pretty fucking ill-advised.

You can’t tax them at all, at least officially, without giving them the authorization to work.

You should probably know that this isn’t correct at all. Undocumented immigrants do in fact pay income tax in the US. The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to everyone, regardless of status.

Regardless of immigration status, both resident and nonresident immigrants may have federal tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.

Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2022, according to a July 2024 report , opens new tab by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), which used data on taxpayers with ITINs to estimate tax revenue.

The ITEP report said undocumented immigrants contributed $59.4 billion to the federal government, including payments for federal income tax and federal social insurance such as Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance.

The IRS issues “Individidual Tax Identification Number” for undocumented immigrants who don’t have a social security number.

Fucked

Mine isn’t :/

Yeah I have the same worry. We have a weighted blanket that we still haven’t washed and it bothers me. I don’t need to wash it regularly but it would be good to give it an initial wash after purchase, but I’m worried about damaging my front loader :(

The brand collapse is even better

FIFY

What are you? A communist?

Dthats not fair

Why should a content creator not be allow to curate the experience his/her audience sees when they watch the content they produce? They don’t owe you shit.

Just trying to spread the truth

What truth exactly? That sounds very subjective.

This is indeed not a new concept. Almost all locomotives are diesel electric. Some also have batteries making them hybrids. But the previous tank (Ambrams) was using an absolute gas guzzling turbo-shaft. So this is a pretty radical departure.

As for battery technology… Let’s compare LiFePo4 (not the densest, but safe, reliable, long lasting with wide operating ranges) to modern lead acid (let alone 100 year old lead acid)…

Energy Density (Weight): 120-200 Wh/kg vs 30-50 Wh/kg
Energy Density (Volume): 250-530 Wh/L vs 75-120 Wh/L
Cycle Life: 1000-3000 cycles vs 200-1000 cycles

The next US tanks is supposed to be a disele electric hybrid actually. But I’m not saying this because I think it’ll be some sort of improvement. It’s just interesting that they think that is the superior tech.

War releases MASSIVE amounts of CO2 and green house gasses and destroys casts swaths of green spaces.

That’s your answer.

It’s funny you think I’m mad, I’m just disappointed there are people like you around here.

Try to work on your reading comprehension and maybe in a couple years you can read through the whole article again.

Maybe read more than a quarter of the article. But I understand it’s a bit much effort for someone like you.

The central government has formally condemned this

The Reuters investigation proved this to be patently false. They organized those death squads.

What OP said is patently false as demonstrated by this in depth investigation by Reuters.

And what I’ve heard they’ve been very reasonable to the citizens and trying to make this a smooth transition

Pretty sure the thousands of people who have been killed by regime aligned death squads in the last few months disagree. But whatever.
