Or you can choose to not have them deduct anything, and then pay the IRS the total amount when you file.

There are dangers with that.

The federal income tax is a pay-as-you-go tax. You must pay the tax as you earn or receive income during the year.

If you didn’t pay enough tax during the year, either through withholding or by making estimated tax payments, you may have to pay a penalty.

Winning a public debate

Never claimed “winning” (in that sense) mattered, only that we can show facts don’t support a fool’s conclusion (ie, “show they’re a fool”). Whether others care to recognize that or let themselves get misled by invalid rhetoric is up to them: some have better discernment than others. Upholding facts (or logic & truth) so others can accept them when they’re ready (not to indulge their biases) is “winning” enough to me. Humans still gonna human.

Changing someone’s mind in a public debate isn’t necessary to show everyone they’re a fool. That’s usually enough.

Whether they ever get sick of being a fool is entirely up to them. If they’re wise & mature, they will & maybe even admit it. Some people never do & it’s mostly their problem at that point. Humans gonna human.

What’s with this new trend to label normal behavior as somehow related to ADHD or autism?

That’s always been around. Another example: having enough interest & focus to get good at something difficult. When someone suggests that isn’t normal (rather than a natural result of persistent effort & willpower), it really indicates to me a shortcoming in whoever believes that (why don’t they think they could do the same if they seriously tried? are they a moron?).

Fundamental principles that define & operate a government aren’t supposed to change frequently or easily. Neither are fundamental restrictions on the authority of government (ie, fundamental rights).

It makes sense to me that those fundamental freedoms are written somewhere & that judicial decisions would frequently cite them & related case law especially in claims that legislation violates them.

It also makes sense to me that changing those fundamental rights requires something more substantial (to indicate overwhelming consent of the people) than merely legislating them away. Otherwise, a congress with a simple majority of Trumpy republicans could simply legislate away essential freedoms as they pleased.

While the US has problems, merely having a constitution (1) the courts meaningfully refer to (2) that demands special effort to amend isn’t clearly a problem. Do you have a better solution for ensuring some freedoms aren’t recklessly written away?

As I was suggesting with

If you think it’s so easy, then go ahead, try it, and tell us how that went.

the barriers to change it (process, legal requirements) aren’t something to easily dismiss (are you aware of the process & requirements?) especially with today’s political obstructionism. It requires approval by supermajorities (²⁄₃) of both houses & ratification by ³⁄₄ of the states.

Is that so?

How does that respond to anything I wrote?

Did someone use AI to generate you?

From article

Do you remember when a police officer in Massachusetts arrested Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates as he was trying to get into his own home? That got huge national attention. And then President Obama called a “beer summit” and brought them both to the White House to talk.

That was diplomacy in a sense, but it was also democracy policy.

Wasn’t that mostly superficial, performative, photo-op theater? Shouldn’t democracy policy be more substantive?

I think an effective democracy policy needs to revitalize community & public service programs to promote social engagement, understanding, & support.

It has 27 amendments so far. If you think it’s so easy, then go ahead, try it, and tell us how that went.
