NYC's shoplifting epidemic now has grocery stores in its sights, and thats a bad thing not just for the store owners, but also for the new yorker's who will no longer have a place to buy food after it closes.

[@HildaBennet]

The tax burden is about as fair as male patterned baldness, but there are strategies to minimize the impact. If you maximize your contributions to retirement accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s reduces your taxable income. Additionally, exploring tax-deductible business expenses, if applicable, can further lower your tax bill.

That seems to be the idea. Not that the politicians are clever enough to figure that out. Hell, they literally said that they WON'T penalize "non-violent" thieves now. You know what that says to me?

[@vesubioromo9425]

True story. Many years ago, I had friends, a married couple I met in Austin where I lived at the time. They moved there from NYC, a city they loved. She's American and he's from the DR. It took him 5 years to talk his brother and sister and their spouses to move to Texas. At first, they hated it (You have to have a car just to get food down here!). One of the spouses saw that I had only one latch on my apartment door. "You guys only have one lock? You don't even have a chain! What if somebody breaks in? I replied, "Oh, we shoot people for that." They've been here for years now and you couldn't pry them out of Texas with a crowbar. And they began encouraging extended family to come to my beloved Lonestar State.
