Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I like how all stores even the shady ones like dollar general now want you to give money to some 'charity' at check out. Like I'm going to help them with some tax dodging scam they are running. I no longer tip anywhere I go. I don't go to the places that force a tip on you.

I used to think this way until someone on lemmy told me it wasn't the case. Those donations are nontaxable - it goes directly to those charities.

See for yourself

And you don't get the tax receipt for them

Except I read a article that said they did get to use it as a tax dodge in certain cases. That article had a list of companies that used it that way and dollar general was on that list. At some point you have to accept that the whole system is rotten and for every responsible entity just trying to do a good thing there are ten others that define whats good by whats good for them and only them.

The peer pressure based donation for enabling corporate tax evasion is BS. It should be disallowed because all it’s doing is letting big corps not pay their due taxes
