The other part of their plan is to also have a flat tax rate of 33%. This means that a person doing 40 hours at minimum wage on tax code M currently pays $123.96 tax but this would go up to $249.48 so they immediately lose $125.52 of their $250 in tax.
Smoke and mirrors.

Great idea. The tax rates are around the wrong way anyway as it is.
Low income earners should pay more & high earners less so the tax rate per person is similar.

You have too much time on your hands.
And yes I must have said half a dozen times, Bridges is a helmet without equal.

Ok, you win.

...there already exists a successful supply chain that serves the recreational scene...

It could be argued that there is significant room for improvement on the continuity of supply, just saying.

So, he’s perfect!

Absolutely. Legal status and ROI play a large part in that I would suspect.

... the tooth monster is smelling of roses at the moment, fuck knows why.

Simply because of all the PR that is happening. Note that all the "announcements" on just about anything have her dinner-manglers in front of the cameras for as long as possible.
"Cult of personality" has a face to it, and the easily deluded are well and truly swept up by it.

As for taxes. We will be seeing a shitload introduced by these incompetents in an attempt to dig themselves out of the economic hole they made. Australia must be laughing.

Latest poll doesn't look to good for Soimon. About the only comfort he can take is that he rates marginally higher than Collins as preferred PM

Now factor in population size to that graph, to give a per-capita figure, it will look radically different.

You are confused. When that graph was published it reflected the number of cases. Population size is completely irrelevant. If you did factor population size in it wouldn't look any better for the US. They have something like 3% of the world's population and 30% of the world's Corona cases.
And climbing.

The Navajo Nation is currently suffering Covid 19 cases and is unable to get meaningful supplies or help from the federal government. They asked for PPE and were sent body bags.

In the late 1840s when Ireland was suffering a potato famine the Navajo people apparently sent money to Ireland to help out. The Irish have now returned the favour sending money to the Navajo. Medicine Sans Frontieres have sent people.

Just fucking marvellous. "The greatest nation on earth" needs help from an international aid agency, that makes them about equal with Afghanistan.
