Yeah this really bums me out because a lot of the time I just use Gmail on my laptop as my phone. Do you know any other services that have this type of functionality?

Are you saying stock value increases only come from reducing employee benefits and compensation or from lowering the quality and safety of products and services? Seems like that is simply not true across the board. If a company sells say software they could easily grow revenue and profits without changing their product or reducing employee benefits and compensation. Their earnings would be higher and their stock would go up.

Not the op but connecting through SSH works great in my experience and is very straight forward in the UI. I feel like updates are pretty frequent as well. I also love that it saves all my queries unlike psequel.

Are libertarians pro bitcoin? Seems like some of the biggest names in that space (Schiff, Ron Paul) aren't very pro bitcoin.

The rich aren't stashing most of their money under a mattress. Gates, Bezos, etc are worth billions, but that wealth is almost all based off of the stock prices in the companies they own percentagess of.

Small thing, but wasn't it JP Morgan's clients buying bitcoin through their brokerage service, not actually JP Morgan?

Came across your site the other day. I was wondering is the 17% from their base salary before taxes? So they (if in say California) pay federal, state, & you guys off the top? Great idea either way!

US companies do withhold money from each paycheck, but this varies not just by how much you make, but also by how many dependents you have and a few other things [0]. The US also has default deductions, or a person can choose to itemize. These vary if you are "head of household", single, married. However then there's all kinds of other deductions and things to complicate your tax return such as retirement accounts, mortgages, kids, side income, student loan interest, interest earned and on and on. Would be great if it was easier. :)

Edit: People who are contractors / not employees have to remember to set aside a portion of their income that the employer would take out automatically for them.

I don't know the elevation gain on that run, but the 100mile track record is 11:28:03 so I would guess not much gain on the road record :) Interestingly the women's track record is slower than the road record.

No the numbers I listed were entries of each type in 2015. That doesn't include ones from previous years. You said immigration was controlled. The fact that roughly the same amount of legal immigrants came into the country as illegal immigrants in the year 2015 shows this is not accurate.
With your logic we might as well just tally up all the legal immigrants that entered the country and all the people that have been naturalized since the country was founded.
