Actually they’re very well defined economic terms. Standard of living measures how well your basic needs as a member of a given society are filled by that sociey. Quality of life measures how nice your shit is.

Pretty simple.

So yes, taxes effect both, but standard of living more directly.

I think they’re actually right about this one, taxes tend to cover things that give you high standard of living more than quality of life.

Everything you said is great except for the rock metaphor. It’s more akin to a gun in that it’s a tool made by man that has the capacity to do incredible damage and already has on a social level.

Guns ain’t just laying around on the ground, nor are LLMs. Rocks however, are, like, it’s practically their job.

Better better idea, remove the stupid arbitrary limit that is a ‘session’ entirely. Bill passes, gov vetoes, Congress can pass again or not at any point after veto within, say, 90 session days of said veto, so if gov vetoes right before a break, Congress still have 90 days to pass again starting when they come back from break.

I swear this shit could be so simple if Americans hadn’t been brainwashed into thinking “life isn’t fair” is an excuse for acting in bad faith.

And this is why standard practice now should be to have all devices turned completely off with all FaceID/ fingerprint unlocking features turned off before you enter any US customs hall. They cannot compel you to tell them your password, but they can use faceID to open your phone.

Also, after being detained, you only know one word and that word is “lawyer.”
