Oddly enough this was the premise for the movie The Dilemma.

I didn't read the books, care to summarize or paste it here?
But the end result is the same. You don’t “make 50k, and lose 15k to taxes”, you just make 35k. That’s is. That’s what you make. If you want more, talk to your employer.
No, that's exactly what happens. Have you ever filed a tax return? We're not debating subjective interpretation here. You make a gross income that is then taxed by the government. The income tax that the government takes is taken from your gross income.
Your employer is taxed on your income by "Payroll tax", which is a tax against the employer and is not income tax:
Payroll taxes include amounts paid by both the employee and the employer to cover any federal taxes due, while income taxes specifically refer to the amount owed by the employee to cover their individual federal income taxes owed.
Source. I'm not trying to be pedantic -- in your original post, you said "Income tax is just a fine charged on the company for having employees" which is objectively not true. Income tax != payroll tax.
That's not true. Income is taxed against the individual. Employers are required to withhold income taxes in many cases, but it's not "a fine charged on the company." It is a tax on the individual's income, withheld from the individual.
Can we please get bookmarks to remember your most recently used folder? Whenever I want to open a bookmark, I'm forced to start at the root folder and navigate around to find the folder and bookmark I want. If I just used a bookmark from some subfolder of my bookmarks, then I go to open a new one, the bookmark folder should be the last one I used. Instead it always starts at root.
It's incredibly annoying. All other browsers (including Firefox on iOS) get this right. There have been multiple requests / bugs filed for this for years, but so far nothing.
Hang on, Ben Shapiro has a wife?? I have so many questions.
Your comment made me laugh out loud. That was well done.
From the employee's perspective, it's basically an amount of time for you to find a new job while still on the payroll at your current company. There are exceptions, but generally speaking you either won't survive the PIP, or you will but you'll be at the top of the list during the next layoffs. And even if you somehow survive all of that, you're not looking at good raises and career advancement anymore at that company.
So use it as a runway to the next job and move on.
He’s trailer trash that just happens to have money.
Have had money. Past tense. He's flat broke now and probably spiraling in debt, especially now that New York is deleting his businesses there.
Did you read the article? This won't affect the rich, white, affluent people in Alabama. It's going to affect predominantly poor, black communities in Shelby and Monroe counties. These communities already lacked sufficient access to prenatal and postnatal care, and now it's getting much worse. Nearly 40% of Alabaman voters (roughly 1,000,000 people) vote democrat, skewing heavily towards poor and minority communities which these policies disproportionately (and some might argue intentionally) harm.
But sure, take the easy cheap shot and vilify an entire state of people as if it's one giant big bad guy, then joke that it's better to be dead than from there. You say you spent years living near the border, so I'm tempted to follow your lead and make a cheap joke about the education you must have received to think it's better to be dead than from a specific area of the USA. But I was born and raised on that border between AL and FL, and I'm capable of wrapping my head around the wild, liberal idea that states are not monolithic entities that take the shape of big bad guys to make easy jokes for you. Alabama, like all states, is full of all kinds of different people trying to live their lives, and they deserve our compassion and our energy to try to make things better, not jokes that they're better off dead because they were born there.
I'm ashamed that you and I spent time in the same area of the country. I'm hoping you don't consider yourself liberal or a democrat, because your simple way of thinking is anything but those things.
You're more than two decades out of date with design and material improvements. And I'm guessing there are likely issues with things like gaskets and seals that are causing problems. Go pick up some new toilets and hire a plumber to install them, since you may need new valves, flanges, and who knows what else.
