In a surprising turn of events, I'm pleased with the new pages I posted on Patreon. Am I finally getting good at it? (sneak peek.) #webcomic#wip#comics#monkey
@brad@pol_9000@codinghorror and that's a nontrivial factor. Especially for those more in need, 300 now (UBI) may be more important than 700 down the line (MGI)
@pol_9000@oblomov@codinghorror Isn't that more-or-less UBI with appropriate adjustments to the income tax thresholds and/or the upper rates? Albeit with a lag factor added of course - you need to consider the previous period's income before deciding to pay people or not - vs UBI being immediately available and the clawback being the part that lags?
@oblomov@codinghorror I m not sure on the social stigma if it is just part of the normal tax declaration. Not sure about Italy, but here in Luxembourg we have good parental leave (6month for each parent, paid at up to 5 thirds of the minimum wage) and there is no stigma about it.
One time there was a mouse in my old apartment. We saw it scurrying around at times but never saw any other sign of it.
When we moved out, we were emptying out the pantry and pulled out the tray we toss single serving condiments packets in when we get takeout. Every packet of mayo was ripped open and licked clean and evenly other condiment completely untouched.
