Also, I don't about you, but I swear every Prius driver nearby speeds.

I will never drive a Prius. I can’t do it.

Have you ever seen the South Park episode about the Prius ? @[DGI]tech

@Salacious Swanky Cat There are too many memes involving the Prius. I don't intend to drive it. Granted, it's not fun to drive nor look at.

Also, no I haven't 👀

Lol. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gXZeq9eXAys

They make fun of how smug environmentalist Prius drivers are.

omfg

*THAEEEEENNNKKKKS*

No joke, I went to an environmental event in Alabama and some guy, with the exact tone of voice, said ‘I was one of the first people to drive a Prius in Alabama’

He was speaking publicly on the mic too.

I could barely contain my laughter

🤢

It was hilarious though.

That episode is amazing too.

All I can think of is the laughter of Nelson Muntz from the Simpson.

Pretty much

You know how I got these scars?!

Alright, I'm watching Matt's latest about Portland, and Mayor Ted Wheeler, and all I can do is 😂

i love how people try to define EV vehicles and solar as affordable due to tax credits. Your still paying for it, you just do it via taxes

We're* still paying for it, comrade

@Putz exactly. Plus, ev + rooftop solar is the ultimate environmental virtue signal too.

@Agent Smith from the Hasanabi server:

🤔

Someone help me out here flat tax just means a flat percent right? So if it was 12% or something, everyone pays 12% of their income. If that's right the hell is a progressive tax and how does it work?

It doesn't

@Draco552 a progressive tax means that you pay a certain rate on your first $XX,XXX, then a higher rate on your next $XX,XXX, and a higher rate on the next level, and so on.

Sounds extremely dumb

Until you reach whatever the max rate is for that particular system and you pay that on all money above that rate.

Eh, it's not the worst system as long as the top rate isn't too high.

There is logic to it.

It's certainly more complicated than a flat tax

but a flat tax is more complicated than a poll tax and most people don't want to go back to that

Except when you get the progressives that say there's a cap on how much someone is allowed to make. The whole "make the rich pay their fair share" line

You mean like this?

Which I literally capped about 20 minutes ago?

yeah, pretty much
