savagemike:
I got a holiday bonus of $100. Nothing too special, but then again I’ve only been there a little over three months. The problem? It was taxed at 42%. Yeah. What the fuck is that all about? I’m not rich by ANY means and that extra $42 would have come in handy.
But oh no let’s not tax those who make millions because the world would end.
Gtfo with that shit man, seriously.

It’s happened multiple times before in one local community: firefighters refuse to respond because the homeowner didn’t pay a fire subscription fee.

savagemike:
I use public transportation here in the City of Angels, as many of you already know. So I buy my monthly TAP card, which allows me to ride any Metro bus or train as many times as I want. It’s my lifeline - without it, I can’t get to work or many other places I am required to go.
