Hey friend what are some of the most common misconceptions people have about their paychecks??

Hey friend!

The most common confusion I saw was about how taxes are calculated—especially federal income tax.

If you’d ever like to see how FIT (as the industry abbreviates it) is calculated, search up Publication 15-T and grab the PDF published by the IRS. You may need Publication 15 to confirm your federal taxable wages.

The most common question I got while I was the person processing payroll was “Why didn’t I have any FIT withheld? That can’t possibly be right, can it?” And in fact, it can! And usually is, in these cases!

People don’t realize how close they are to the cutoff of not making enough to have FIT withheld. But if you’re an hourly employee making somewhere around $12-$15 per hour, you can just work a day less out of the week and suddenly your pay isn’t large enough. If you have a decent amount of your pay going to pre-tax benefits, like insurance for medical, dental, or vision—or if you contribute a lot to a 401k plan (which does not have federal and state income tax apply, but still sees social security and Medicare taxes taken out)—then these deductions can put your taxable wages below the threshold to have any FIT withheld.

The other thing is that people underestimate how much claiming one or more dependents can reduce your per-pay-period FIT. As of 2020, dependents are factored into to FIT calculations as the equivalent tax deduction amount (so $2k per dependent). Tax calculations take the 2k yearly deduction and divide it by the number of pay periods you have, then reduce your FIT taxes by that amount. So if you’re paid biweekly (26 times each year) and claim 2 dependents, your federal income taxes are reduced by $153.85 every time time you get paid! For a lot of people, that is more than enough to leave them owing 0 for FIT.

This is probably long enough for now, but very high earners ALSO misunderstand FIT. Any time you hear someone complaining about their raise bringing them into a new, higher tax bracket…just know that they’re revealing their total lack of understanding for marginal tax rates.

The Minnesota Twins are an American professional baseball team based in Minneapolis. The Twins compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) Central Division.

I think sending Alcala down for Thielbar fucked something up on a cosmic vibes level.

We’ve decided to store the monthly payroll for our employees at the bottom of a storm drain.

Woah, woah, woah! Alright, hold up, I didn't catch all that. That FUTA reduction's gonna come out to 0.9% in sunny Cali, which is up from last year.

If you need, like, a personal accountant to do all this stuff for ya, I've got a few pals.

DC has a regular minimum wage, and tipped-worker minimum wage, and then a secret third type of minimum wage. This is very cool and normal of them, and not at all confusing.

Even if Eight never returned to Intelligence work, he'd be fine. He originally joined the SIS to have a finger in every pot, but now I think he'd just use it for leverage to keep him (and Jadus) safe. Not that he'd ever let them know about that last part, which would guarantee both of them a fat target on their back.

I headcanon his final mission-- regardless of whether he took Nine's place on the Dominator-- is to go after Jadus if he escapes. An agent needs to keep an eye on that rogue Sith, and all their work is for naught without a final backup if Watcher 2's plan is considered too costly. He is the only one with the right mindset and strength of will to bear such a mission, and it's the only "out" he would willingly take. Keeper wouldn't approve, but he loses that bet 9 times out of 10. (I also seriously doubt a jail cell would hold Jadus for long, given the amount of secret allies he has in the Empire).

No matter the way you swing it, Eight has enough reasons to commit to Jadus as his life's mission. He's only partly there to make sure he doesn't pull another Doomsday, and if anything, he's more likely to redirect his purposeful anger towards one of their enemies rather than prevent it outright. His power is needed to him. But he doesn't even want to use Jadus solely for war. He's come to love the way he exists in the Force and his understanding of the Sith in his eyes, and he's willing to give his life if it means this wound, this extant form of death and life remains free to be. He hops mission to mission solely to show him the fires of conflict and the swells of peace in every part of the galaxy. He wants to show him the world outside of the Empire, that cage that used to trap both of them.

Jadus was and is his way of understanding and existing next to forces he never would've loved otherwise. Imperials as a whole have forgotten how to see Sith with their own eyes, buried under mandates of abuse and unquestioning worship, and even fewer feel knowing the Force to be a worthwhile undertaking as the burn of being rejected by it in life is a pill too bitter to swallow.

Eight considers himself lucky, to love and know the Force at its height in such a soul. Its embraced him too, and he never wants to be without it again.

Talking to payroll this morning was a headache but I got transferred to a supervisor and he was able to help me out and find a solution to get my pay fixed.

The first guy I was talking to made me really frustrated. I eventually went off on him and that's when I was transferred. The supervisor was really nice and actually able to help me.

The way the question is phrased is supposed to redirect attention away from the real issue at hand.

First of all, yes, compensation need not always be monetary, it can also be status or power or experience. (However, this usually won’t work ad infinitum.) This much is obvious. Yet money is the unit of caring. And do these streamer businesses care about their chats being moderated? Do they care about this moderation being provided in a sufficient quality and quantity? Why do they care? Is it because large parts of their businesses (advertisers, sponsors, engagement) implicitly or explicitly require them to provide content moderation in their chats? Are their businesses, as such, dependent on the quality and quantity of services rendered?

Then there will come a time from which they will pay for that. The question is never if. It’s when. As a business owner, you can take on a certain amount of risk, and up to a certain point, you usually have to to even get started. But soon enough all these streamer businesses will pay, because hunger for risk always decreases with size. Some will take longer to reach this conclusion or not be able to reach it on their own at all, maybe because they lack the required business acumen or because they fail before they get to it. And yes, there will be gnawing and gnashing of teeth once they realize (or stomping of feet, as demonstrated by some of the man-children in the video). But nobody will get past that point without paying up in some shape or form.

Because the question was never really “should you pay?” It always was “can you afford not to?”
