Fragile Bird Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 @DMC it was a little feature piece on CNBC this morning. Personal income tax changes are usually for the tax year. I don’t know if @Mlle. Zabzie is following the thread, but she might give more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but they usually start the year following whenever the legislation is passed. If it was on CNBC I'll find it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have encountered the remnants of midwesterners that were too lazy to continue moving west a century or two ago. You're right about euchre though, that all of a sudden became a huge craze when I was in high school but every time people tried to teach me it I was way too high. Still don't know how to play it. My roommate was from Rochester, and he said pop all the time. He was hardly the only either. It weirded out everyone from further east. Per this 2003 data I just found (and I was there 2005-2009) https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2012-11-09-Screenshot20121109at3.05.00PM.png Erie county is a majority 'pop' county.

The previous town hall showed folks weren’t afraid to ask questions and Trump could not sneer at them, or mock them or talk over them. And when he tried to obfuscate he really annoyed people. NBC is not going to gather an audience of just Trump supporters or choose only softball questions. Exactly. The performance was so poor. This is literally Mr. Scrooge getting interviewed by his everyday workers. It's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well your roommate woulda been made fun of in my high school, and even in Honeoye Falls which is much more "midwestern" and where I...spent a lot of time. And screw Erie, Ontario FTW.

NBC is not going to gather an audience of just Trump supporters or choose only softball questions. I'm going to make this three of us. Trump is not benefiting from debates, and he's not benefiting from talking to non-Trumpanzees. In fact, when he talks to regular people he only makes himself look worse, whereas Biden is good at projecting the image of a guy who cares about you. (This may be genuine, but I am not debating anyone about that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was ER that makes sense - they were pretty much the only team we could consistently beat when I played basketball. Fairport was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) schools there, or at least was when I was growing up, so not surprising there's all kinds from there. And yeah, Niagara really sucks other than the falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue isn't Trump getting a town hall, it's that he's getting it at the exact same time as a pre-scheduled Biden townhall because Trump backed out of the debate. Why make voters make a choice between watching Trump or Biden? How is that good for democracy? Give Trump all the townhalls he wants, just make it at a different time.

Oh, I don't disagree with you there. I don't know why NBC is doing this, but whatever their reasons, I don't think it's going to help Trump.

The rethuggy shaggoths broadcasting that if they lose the election there is gonna be tax hell and stimulus package hell to pay? But if they win, there will be hell to pay then too. So ... Lose-Lose for everybody but the already obscenely bloated oligarchs-plutocrats from the Hellmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
