that is subsidized healthcare, the cost you see isn't the real cost. When someone does not qualify, they pay the real cost. Healthcare.gov is for poor people and the rest of us pay for it, you are now in the rest of us category.

BTW, get a real accountant that can do your taxes for you as others have said.

Utilizing the models and all the upcoming amazing things is going to be 10x more valuable than getting your hands dirty trying to make one on your own.

You won't get replaced by AI, you will get replaced by someone who knows how to use the AI.

What happens if he tells the NBA to fuck off? They do not control his salary, the team owner does no?

Personally, I'd put my foot down, call these clowns out for the next 100 days and see them in court over the accumulating fines. All while only talking to the press about the NBA, the shitty refs, the court case and the fines to keep people silent.

I bet you they'd rescind those fines and stop playing this stupid game.

That's can be a powder keg. Some people are not compatible with stoicism.

I do not know either of you or your situation, so my advice is suspect, but IMO he needs a change of some sort. How are you at helping the situation? Do you ignore, point it out, yell or demean, are you agreeing/enabling with him? How does that dynamic work?

He's not happy with his life or his situation.

He either needs a full change (job) or needs therapy and I say that as someone who thinks therapy is a crapshoot.

That said, you pulled up an incident from a few years ago. That seems ... odd. A one off isn't an indicated of a black hole. His coworkers could suck. They could be making him miserable.

  1. All taxes are always passed onto consumers, no matter how they try to scheme it.
  2. Unless you are taxing each instance at the same rate of a worker, the result is still negative.
  3. Robots can take the place of more than one human.
  4. The funding never goes to where they say it going to go.
  5. Having tax and regulation that makes it harder for companies to make a profit = companies going elsewhere which lowers your tax pool and kills the remaining jobs.

But the most glaring issue with UBI is that while math isn't hard, it seems that math is really hard.

Just for giggles...

There are approximately able 200 million adults in the USA. If everyone were to get just 250.00 per week then the USA would need 2,400,000,000,000 per year. That's 2.4 with a T.

The U.S. government's total revenue is estimated to be $4.71 trillion for FY 2023

And no matter how much you whittle down the qualifiers for getting UBI, or mess with the distribution or allocation, it's still going to be 25-50% of current tax revenue. We already overspend and increase the deficit. This isn't even considering the inflation and costs of goods as companies pass the new taxes onto the consumer, so that 250 wouldn't even be worth the 250 anymore.

Who can live on 250 per week btw?

UBI is and always will be a non-starter. Because the U in UBI stands for Universal, meaning anyone who can't or doesn't want to work, gets it and don't get me started on the class warfare of requiring some to work while other do not.

I am paying attention, it already feels nuts.

By this time in 2025/6 I will probably be able to type this into a prompt:

"I want to see terminator 3, but as a real continuation of James Cameron's vision, not the crap that followed the Terminator 2. Put Danny DeVito in the lead role, give him lots of catch phrases and make things go boom a lot. Make Kate Beckinsale be his love interest and side kick with skimpy clothing (but not nude cause she's a classy lady) but she never gives in. 122 minutes long please, no credits, I gotta be somewhere later"
