@satyanadella Your TOS says copilot is for entertainment purposes only.

New in Word: Copilot now tracks changes, leaves comments, and more, working more like a coworker right inside your document, grounded in all your enterprise context with Work IQ.

This person thinks a loan is a tax break. And I am asinine for not thinking a loan and a tax break was the same thing.

@Web4Door @ChiefEngineerCE Lol @web4door You apparently haven't worked in tech where an Indian was hired as CIO. I've seen it at 5 companies in 25 years. I will NEVER hire an indian no matter how qualified.

@ChiefEngineerCE No your guilt for not hiring their own comment

IN PLAIN ENGLISH- Americans first. Foreign labor should be the last resort. Americans are raised to not discriminate with whom they hire, whom they buy from, or whom they associate with. For decades it was an amazing ethical success story. Anyone with talent and hard work could rise to the top... anyone. Then America imports folks from several societies who are culturally obligated to hire their own, buy from their own, shamelessly bribe -barter -or steal on behalf of their own while only associating with their own- doing otherwise would bring incredible shame to them and they know this with every fiber of their existence. They don't feel guilt for hiring their own, they feel guilt for NOT HIRING their own. The pattern is crystal clear its not just words. We act confused- why wouldn't they want the best? Why wouldn't they want diversity? THEY ONLY WANT THEIR OWN TO SUCCEED- It would be incredibly shameful to them to help an outsider succeed. Wrap your mind around this. Challenge it until you understand this. When a foreign manager or CEO is hired - expect only foreign workers to get opportunities as a result. Accept this. These are the rules. There are no exceptions.

@PatrickHeizer I don't see tax break there. I see a loan. I didn't realize that a loan was the same thing as a tax break.

@tim_tiny58499 Are you not able to Google?

asked dozens of times. where is this tax break?

@PatrickHeizer @PeggiBosquez patrick?

@PatrickHeizer @PeggiBosquez Where is this significant property tax break at in Minnesota? I'm going to have to sell the house where I raised the kids and move to a cheaper on because of property taxes.

Y'all can hate me all you want, but I genuinely believe that property taxes should be much higher, with income taxes much lower. Reduce taxes on the working man's labor, not the landed gentry.

@masonmennenga i think you need to go to seminary to grow a thicker skin

one thing that pisses me off about trump is he will do final level evangelical stuff like attack the pope without having done the first level stuff like memorizing your favorite letter from apostle paul or carrying two folding chairs in each arm to impress youth group girls

@RicosWay Where I live stimated Tax Breakdown ($100k Income in MN) Federal Income Tax: ~$14,768 MN State Income Tax: ~$6,160 FICA (Social Security & Medicare): ~$7,650 Total Estimated Tax: ~$28,578 Net Take-Home Pay: ~$71,422 71/12=5.9k/month

I have to get this off my chest. Even in this economy $100K a year is still $100K a year. That’s roughly $7k a month hitting your account. If you’re still struggling at that income level the problem isn’t the economy. It’s the decisions being made with the money after it lands. Budgeting. Investing. Cutting the unnecessary. The income isn’t the issue. The habits are. 💯

@RicosWay 100k-16k fed taxes=84k/12=7k. No state tax where you live? no local tax? how about sales tax?

@calidaddude @rushicrypto I lived though the .dotcom bust. you never know when it will end. used cars, paid off house, i live on 1/3 of what i make, taxes take 1/3ish, save an invest 1/3.

@rushicrypto Many such cases. I started working on tech in 2010 and quickly learned that you must save because you never know when it will end. Too many people chase that bigger house or newer car.

A guy I used to work with hit me up last night. Dude was making $260k in tech. Nice house, $4,700/month mortgage, two cars, vacations every few months. Got laid off 7 months ago. Still nothing. Said he’s down to $22k and burning $5,500 a month. Wife at home, one kid. He told me he checks his bank app before he even gets out of bed now. This is someone I saw winning in real life. Save your money. Because when it flips, it flips fast.

@thejobchick I figured i needed to be able to retire when i was 50, so I save since 15. have quite the stash right now. going to see my financial advisor about quitting after next years bonus.

And if you still believe the unemployment rate while millions can’t even get an interview... you’re part of the con.

Here’s a stat nobody wants to say out loud... If you’re laid off after 50, there’s a 1 in 4 chance you will never work again. Not retire. Not take a break. Never. 🧵

@johnpavlovitz It really is Trumps fault that Swalwell did it.

The allegations against Eric Swalwell should be thoroughly investigated, and if proven true, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This isn't difficult.

@johnpavlovitz You too man, you too.

I hope you get the help you need.

@PeggiBosquez @Farmer_Shane91 @ReallyJWilliams @PatrickHeizer @PatrickHeizer help us out here.

@tim_tiny58499 @Farmer_Shane91 @ReallyJWilliams @PatrickHeizer Not here either

@ReallyJWilliams @PatrickHeizer @PeggiBosquez @PatrickHeizer where are these? i'm in MN, how do I get this tax break?

@PatrickHeizer @PeggiBosquez What tax break on property do seniors specifically get? I need to know to save some money.

@Farmer_Shane91 @ReallyJWilliams @PatrickHeizer @PeggiBosquez Not where I live.

@ReallyJWilliams @PatrickHeizer @PeggiBosquez Many states freeze property values at what they are when you turn 65.

@PeterSchiff @GrantCardone this is happening to me. i'm going to retire and i'm going to have to sell my house, move, and find a cheaper one. 1/2 my taxes are due to my neighbors voting to raise taxes for the children's teen centers.

@GrantCardone The power to tax includes the power to destroy. If you have a right to own property, but the state can tax it, the state can destroy that right. If they raise the tax high enough, you are forced to sell it. Property taxes turn the right to own property into a privilege.

Why should anyone be forced to pay property taxes. The state doesn’t buy the house you did. You bought the home, improved it, put a mortgage on it and paid for it. The state collects sales taxes & business taxes to fund services. Imagine the 70 year old who owns a home today valued at $2M - they bought 30 years ago for $50,000, maintained the house for 30 years and finally paid the house off - Why should they or their heirs pay any tax much less on the increased value? They will say, “who’s going to support the roads, police, fire department and schools? Sales tax & local businesses can support those things. For those who support property taxes understand you open the door for the state to collect taxes on ALL property; boats, cars, clothes, art, bicycles, gym equipment, grills, tools, silverware, jet skis, stocks, retirement accounts - everything. 27 states reassess annually, and the rest, do so every 3 years OR lie California, any time you improve the property! It’s brutal and it’s endless! If you support property taxes on personal property you are either; a) a communist b) confused c) academic d) free loader End Property Taxes!

@GrantCardone And my neighbors keep voting to increase my property taxes - it's all about the children! 423 million dollars for teens centers - yes more than 1 in my district, 2 of them are being built!

@nayibbukele I had a AI this week not have an hallucination, but not give the full context of a situation. it said like "you have 500 hours of downtime" when in reality 400 hours wasn't downtime, it was prep-time for a change, and 50 hours was a vendor told is something wrong and 0 downtime.

AI layoffs are a textbook collective action problem: Each company cuts workers to compete, but if everyone does it, demand collapses. You optimized costs and killed your own customers… and your company.
