Well, according to the article: “The IRS said it’s distributing about $2.4 billion to taxpayers who failed to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns”
Biden was president in 2021 and in 2022 when 2021 taxes were being filed. Also, the distribution is being authorized now, while Biden is president.
It’s incredibly enlightening that all these pearl clutching fuckers like Mayorkas decry violence and violent rhetoric but see no violence in the way this industry hurts and kills people en masse every day.
I don’t doubt apple’s ability to make this work well. I do doubt that there is more than a niche market for it. I also think it’s boring, and for some reason, I still expect apple to do better.
It’s about racism, the same thing that motivates a lot of his efforts in the US.
And trump will take credit, I’m sure.
How long have people been trying to make smart homes a thing? I feel like this would have happened by now if there was a real mass market for them. It’s not like there is a huge technological impediment to achieving that vision, like there is for VR/AR. In other ways it’s just like VR, a cool idea that’s been around forever, but doesn’t seem to have widespread application or demand.
If apple is really working on this, I consider it further evidence that they are really really struggling to have a substantive vision of the future. Other than incremental improvement of existing products and financially beneficial business maneuvers, what have they done in the last decade other than try to grasp at old sci-fi notions of ‘the future’. I suspect that this can’t change until they get new leadership. Of course, they’ve largely achieved escape velocity in terms of revenue, and are so established now that the money machine will keep working for a long time, independent of any need to be actually visionary.
Are we allowed to discuss the many many benefits that society might receive if Elon Musk were in fact assassinated?
It’s not a crime to make people afraid. It’s provocative, perhaps rude, usually inappropriate, but not a crime. Your paraphrase is exactly the meaning of what she said. There is so much misplaced outrage in this country and this thread. There are people and organizations actively killing and hurting people, and that’s all acceptable to the prevailing culture here. It is appropriate to call them out for their awfulness. If that scares them, that’s a good thing.
Peasant brain mentality.
If she said, “I’m going to come kill you.” That would be a threat. Her saying, “actions like what you are doing have gotten people like you killed” or even “you deserve to be killed” are just observations, warnings at most, but not threats.
Dumbest fucking president for the dumbest fucking country. JFC I hate this timeline.
I’ve had one for a decade or so. It’s fine. Life was fine before it too. Let’s all stay grounded people.
