Elon Musk showed interest in an idea that would guarantee a $5,000 payment, or 'DOGE Dividend,' to every American to show off the $55 billion in taxpayer funds saved.
“Head of household” and “king”. What century do you live in?
Do you do your taxes? Head of household term was on this year’s tax return. You are not familiar with that term? Do you live in the US and do your own taxes?
Yes, I’m not from the US, so please excuse my ignorance, it just sounded so old school patriarchal that I assumed that it was a thing of the past. So a household with a mother and a father, are both of them heads of the household then? And if not, do they have to decide who is?
Ahh, ok. So if you aren’t from the US, why are you being so passionate about US politics? I mean, you are totally welcome to do so, but I’m curious about why.
Head of Household is a filing status for unmarried taxpayers who pay more than half the cost of maintaining a home for themselves and a qualifying dependent. To qualify, the taxpayer must be unmarried or considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year and have a dependent who meets IRS criteria. For married couples, the equivalent of Head of Household is typically Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) if both spouses file together, or Married Filing Separately (MFS) if they file individually. Married Filing Jointly offers the best tax benefits, while Married Filing Separately may be used in specific situations, such as when spouses want to keep tax liabilities separate.
Thanks for the thorough explanation of the us tax forms! 😅
Well, I care primarily because what US does affects the whole world. Theo world is much more unstable and unsafe since trump took office.
I also believe in the principle of freedom and democracy and I think it’s sad to see it deteriorate, because I see how it will hurt people. I followed the riots in Hong Kong too as young people tried to fight for their right of self governance, if only for a few more years.

No it’s not. The fucking world is full of bad people doing bad things. THEY are making the world unstable and unsafe. Other countries can stand up and do shit if they think it’s bad.

It’s not deteriorating. The majority of American people wanted Trump in office, and they voted him in office. That’s democracy. If you don’t like it, then handle your shit in your own country the way you want things handled.
I guess I’m just interested too! :)
Which is awesome. I applaud that. But just so you know, Lemmy is NOT even close to having the opinions of the majority of Americans. Which is why so many on Lemmy were surprised that Trump won. Lemmy is out of touch with the average american, and most Americans have never even heard of Lemmy. Lemmy is a very very small extremes sample of people who don’t really know much about the average American way of life.
I don’t think so. I like him. Even tho I didn’t vote for him, I’m loving what he’s doing. And I’m loving watching Lemmy freak out about it all.
I could go on, I don’t expect to convince you.
Good choice.
I’m not willing to leave your lies laying undisturbed.
But I’m not lying about anything. I didn’t write the article, friend. Did you write to the publisher of the article and bring up your concerns with them?
Trump didn’t win a majority of votes.
He did. He won by both the electoral vote and the public vote. Every major news org, regardless of political leaning, agrees with that. Do you have proof? Please send that proof the news media!
Endless bloviation and vacuous lies from you and your ilk.
What have I lied about? I didn’t write the article.
You’re clearly not here to discuss facts. They don’t support your narrative.
You only have concepts of an idea and vibes regarding facts.
You continue to lie about basic numbers, engaging with you only serves to point the clown show out to others.
Trump didn’t win a majority and you’re a bald faced liar.
Do you do your taxes? Head of household term was on this year’s tax return. You are not familiar with that term? Do you live in the US and do your own taxes?
And “king” was a joke.

Trump is making things unsafe and lying. His lies regarding Ukraine are destabilizing the world, by victim blaming.
His words are blaming Ukraine for being attacked.
I could go on, I don’t expect to convince you. Other people stumble across your self hatred and mistake it for honest discussion.
I’m not willing to leave your lies laying undisturbed.
Trump didn’t win a majority of votes. Check your lies again.
Any forum you encounter is a small slice of society.
Endless bloviation and vacuous lies from you and your ilk.

As noted, not here to convince you. You’re obvious propaganda. I hope your opinion keeps you warm at night.
A quick check of my statements show numerous articles supporting my statements, including the raw numbers. Trump did NOT win a Majority of votes.
Here Let me google that for you, since you’re having trouble and conflating facts from fiction. Did trump win vote majority what does that mean?
Since you seem to be ignoring obvious facts, I’ll help you find what your dictator fellating seems to have blinded you to.

I sleep awesome and have an awesome life, thank you!
So why does the major news media disagree with you? Is AP News propaganda too?
