Remember when we used to worry about paper weight and surface for our CVs?

Is there some utility to all that?

More than vaguely. The man was prescient.

Why are those passenger numbers for the train so low? Here at least the railway moves something like 2000 passengers per vehicle on average. Over 3000 at peak times.

I’m sorry, can somebody explain what’s wrong with her that could potentially need to be fixed?

The biggest part of that is social insurance. It’s called a tax (FICA) in America to make people hate it.

And here’s the fun part: there’s an annual cap which is about the same as a construction worker’s salary. Once the cap app is reached they stop deducting it. So high earners only pay it for the first few pay periods of the year.

I remember the first time I earned more than the cap. I thought somebody had made a mistake when my take-home pay went up mysteriously in the middle of the year. So imagine: Bezos and friends are all done paying FICA in the first ten or fifteen minutes of the year.

When your first child starts walking and destroying things.
