Car sales are down. And yet, somehow, car prices are still very high. Work from home has absolutely extended the life span of our car so we don’t need to replace it yet, and the unreasonable prices are making us really, really uninterested in replacing it until we absolutely have to.

Right. It’s an oligarchy.

Why are they so determined that we peons be as miserable as they can possibly make us?

Well, the article under discussion is specifically about workers in the US.

They showed quite a lot of things, including that he made zero charitable donations in 2020. The returns are thousands of pages long and people are still analyzing them. It’s true that they haven’t necessarily been driving the news engine, but the guy isn’t president anymore. There has certainly been coverage. If he runs again, it will definitely become a hotter topic for media.

Because they’re making the donation, not you. You don’t contribute anything to Amazon Smile. The price is the same whether you make it on Smile or not. Why would you get a deduction? And honestly, most of us are not generating enough donations to even beat the standard deduction, so we wouldn’t get a deduction anyway.
