CoronaVirus ==> Empty Shelves

BINGO !

FenceFurniture made post #1,000. Highly appropriate. OP.

Not that it matters but do the post numbers vary with different platforms? Post number 1000 is NeilS on my iPad

It is on mine too now (WindowsPC). Perhaps one of the members has had an offensive post removed?

Your reply has a fatal flaw in that the parable is on PAYG tax to which there are many example where this applies

Sorry Beardy, but your rebuttal has a fatal flaw. There is no mention of PAYG tax. They could indeed all be self employed.


This:
But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

is a flaw, confected to make the story work for the author (nothing particularly wrong with that). Who said they didn't have enough money, and why wouldn't they?

And this FINALLY popped up this morning.....

Suspected SARS virus and flu germs found in luggage: FBI report describes China'''s '''biosecurity risk'''

now, they jjjuuuuuusssstt have to join the dots.

-- WHERE did they get the samples
-- WHERE did the disease originate
-- WHAT was the precipitating event

Somebody in Wuhan walking this out of their BSL4 on the bottom of their foot.....

Come on media... its not too hard.... the information is out there. Its agonising how slow they are.

Agreed. Lets start a competition!

Dovetails? A technical thing like a puzzle or precision/artistic challenge?

From what I can see RossM got post number 1000

Yes I suspect it's the mods at work deleting a member's offensive posts. If they get all of them I suspect the total number of posts might shrink to below 600...

RossM got it on my computer too. Congratulations, have an elephant stamp. Sorry couldn't find one.

Crikey. You boys wouldn't make very good detectives. All the info is there.



Like I say, we need to have a bit fun. The trolls are in a spin.....they can smell it.......but they just can't see it.

Hey I'm now the winner!! FF put me onto it. It's socialism being put to work! We're all going to get turns at being the winner! What a great concept!

Brilliant, FenceFurniture.

Deleting your post #1000 was a masterstroke. Not quite the same as hiding it in plain sight!

[FenceFurniture]

Ah bin waitin 10 years to use this.

If you are self employed ie a sole trader you still fall under the PAYG tax scheme or if you are self employed as in run your own PTY LTD company you are still employed by that company and subject to PAYG tax so it is irrelevant, the same scale of taxation applies regardless

Ahh, that's probably a "nope". The story comes from the USA, so is based on whatever their tax system/self employed system/company system is - certainly different to ours to some extent.

The first clue was the tax rate of 59% - I've never see a rate that high here, but you only had to click on the link in the original post here to see it goes an American site that published it in 2008.

Anyhoo, as you say, it's irrelevant, and certainly is irrelevant to this thread.
