  1. This did not take long. I’m sure the federal gov will be taxing this refund as income tax also. $10k will not go far.

    The North Carolina Department of Revenue announced Wednesday that President Biden’s student-loan forgiveness will be considered taxable income in the Tar Heel State.

    Residents of some other states are in for a similar buzzkill, levying a max tax that could range from $300 to $1,100, depending on the jurisdiction. Mississippi also confirmed last week that it will impose a tax.

    1. In Babylon, the debt slaves were freed each 50 years or son. Also on special events like new king installed.
      And they had like 1-2% taxes. Nowadays, the state takes 50-70% of your work. That is 70% slavery. Even if you manage to avoid most income tax, you still pay 25% VAT in Europe.

      1. Lucky Babylonians!

        I know. I have relatives living in Europe. It’s horrible. The middle class does get a lot for it. Here not so much. We get to support every military industrial complex/medical mafia corp in the world and a crumbling infrastructure.

        My middle class family in the EU gets aid in rebuilding/remodeling old homes, free tuition in most EU nations, young people get paid a stipend between college and entering the work force, etc. I’m amazed at the benefits my family members have gotten in the EU. But, that may be coming to an end after the population has been led down a socialist/communist road.

        Meanwhile, we get more debt on top of more gov debt. It is never ending.

  2. The headline reads like the Lone Ranger to the rescue: France to restart all nuclear reactors before winter!

    Just a short while later in the news snippet:
    “32 of France’s 56 nuclear reactors, all operated by EDF, are shut down for usual maintenance and, in some cases, to repair corrosion problems”

    Over 50% are offline due to maintenance and repairs. Sure thing, and the clot shots are “safe and effective” too.

    1. Thanks for posting the link. I live in France as I assume that you might too. However, I have so accustomed to blocking out mass-media that I forget that it can be helpful to look at it from time.
