Nah, not suggesting municipal water is unsafe, the pretty vast majority is pretty good. Just saying people who live in the internet tend to do poorly doing things like backpacking. I've watched people just go rub raw water from the stream in their eyes and cup their hands to drink a bunch. Watched a lot of people with a high standard of living suffer doing outdoors stuff over the years.

Well? It is the Internet. It's easy to be loud and wrong. Sometimes I think it's good because it gives people space to practice social engineering but that attitude afield tends to make some issues. You can keep pretending you're right on the internet, but when you're shitting yourself because the water seemed clean the only person you're trying to convince is yourself.

It's not income. Income is money you get to keep. I assume the money moves from you to a bank and you're not handing out sums of cash which means there's a record on their side showing the receipt. Pretty much any accountant can connect those dots even if that's not how I would handle money personally. I'm still disappointed in the legislation. Reminds me of chainmail. Started out doing everything by hand, making coils, cutting them into rings, then fabricating the mail. I optimized the shit out of making rings. I could make tens of thousands a day. Fabricated machines and jigs to do everything. I optimized the wrong part. Making rings slowly wasn't the bottleneck at all. Which I soon realized after filling my workshop with rings and had the same output as before. Why? Because making metal into cloth is the time consuming step. I made the easiest part easier but it didn't solve the issue because it wasn't the problem. This feels much the same. Say you have to pay the full amount of taxes on your cash handling, that'll be about 20k. Now imagine if they invested the same effort in someone skirting taxes on millions. That's where we should be aiming in my opinion.
