I don't see what's wrong with $100-300 I know about five 30 year old women with $5,000 cameras that would jump at the gig as long as it wasn't a full wedding commitment.

Publicly available? Not likely... But just in general, I am sure. The stuff we see is just the tip of ice berg.

Treason has a very narrow legal definition in the US. For example, my example of the Russia thing a lawyer would argue falls outside the bounds of treason. I think the only slam dunks would be any cooperation with North Korea (as we never really ended the war with them) and Iran. I bet stuff around Venezuela could also fall into treason category, but that one is much more iffy like the Russia thing.

So now I am on the City of Dragons, so quite a ways into this elderling world... Does it ever come together? It seems so disjointed when you jump to the Six Duchies back to Bingtown between each trilogy. One place dragons, one place magic. Does the magic ever come to the traders? The Wit isn't even mentioned south of Chalced.

This just made me realize that after we fix our tax structure to tax capital gains and land more than labor we need to change the way the labor tax rate works. We shouldn't be taxing on total income in my opinion, we should be taxing a rate off of your average hourly income.

So if you work in a factory and make $30 an hour and work 10 hrs overtime a week at 1.5 an hour that's 85,800, or $33 an hour. But if you work salaried for 100k and work 65 hours a week you make $29.58 an hour. The salaried in this example should be taxed less than the hourly. I am not sure what the new rates would look like, but both the hourly and salaried person would have a lower effective tax obligation after we fixed the first two things.

Plus the fact that with the way the US is going, Taiwan might willingly jump into Chinese hands in a few years just to shield themselves from Western Aggression.

I mean if were institutionalizing people that believe in magic and ethereal shit we have to institutionalize like 80% of Americans.

Wasn't that the original idea? I swear when my friend first used it he made it sound like crashing in a spare room.
