"you'll own nothing and be happy"


Brazilian government is dumb as hell, just tax everything and waste money with idiot things and a lot of corruption, tax the rich will make then flee to another country like Arab Emirates or USA, so more money for then, less for the country, extremely common L of the Workers Party


So what do you propose instead, since you seem to figured it all out?


cut unnecessary spending (Brazil has TONS of it), cut taxes, cut bureaucracies and not hide inflation like they do it's a good start. And you, what's your propose? You also thing that tax rich people will make the other side richer?


> cut taxes

Yep, this is absolutely correct. I don't see how people don't realize this, the simplest way to make brazil less unequal is to REDUCE tax!

From wiki: > The collection of federal taxes on the reserve base, shows that of the amount collected by the IRS of Brazil, the majority of the taxes are based on consumption, with approximately 53% on average of the funds raised by Revenue Federal Brazil and continue accounting for more than half of tax (52%) charged by the agency. This tax structure is even more perverse when we add the taxes collected at the state and municipal levels, which bring in the largest source of revenue. The tax burden on consumption is regressive. In Brazil those who earn up to twice the minimum wage spend 26% of their income to pay indirect taxes, while the tax burden for families with income higher than 30 times the minimum wage amounts to only 7%. Excessive taxation on consumption depresses demand directly affecting the economy, reducing the consumption of the middle and lower income families.

Taxing the rich will solve nothing (and let's be honest, this government is not aiming nor has the capacity to enforce it). Something much simpler is just let people be able to consume things, by removing taxes and cutting spending (probably not even necessary given how much the state already takes from its people).

Super simple, but, as usual, we love to overcomplicate it and play the popularity game.


something that I did some time ago, if the printer is able to print images, you can generate an HTML page, screenshot it and than print it. The print will be much better and you can play with a lot more things


Yes, it is possible, but if you print directly from the browser, you cannot tell the printer when to cut.

In my case, I generate multiple images and tell the printer when to cut. I also have another version without images. The difference between the two is that the version without images is two to three times faster to print.


I was hoping the AI could replace me, maybe the IA would fulfill my boss deadlines


Tell your boss a realistic deadline, honor it to the best of your ability, and if they fire you so be it, and if they harass you to work faster, find another job.


well at least was funny


they want more money, less videos more ads, probably the UX/UI team was against it but you know how those big techs are


it's just a big company doing big company things, don't care about the user, only thing that matters is money and power, like dictators


well, I asked to GPT to draw Arnold Schwarzenegger:

Reminds me of the abomination of nature you could build in Monkey Island 4

jeeeeeeesus christ that's horrible, but it's cool that you can do that


That's amazing. It really captured the likeness of ol' Arnold.


hellboy?

Yeah, the world is a illusion, it tells you "study here or there and you'll have an amazing job and will win a lot of money!" but a lot of times, that never happen. You ended up felting like "was all for nothing?". I see my dad now working with his 60+ years old and I can't say to him "You can rest now, I'll pay your bills", at least was something that I was dreaming for a long time and now I know that will never be possible. I can't give you advice since you and I are on the same boat (I'm not an MIT senior but you get it, right?) but try not to lose hope and don't be harsh with yourself
