Tax

Read a random definition: job action

A quick definition of Tax:

Tax: Money or property that the government collects from people or businesses. It's like a fee that you have to pay for living or doing business in a certain place. The government uses this money to pay for things like schools, roads, and hospitals. Some taxes are based on how much money you make or how much you own, while others are added to the price of certain things you buy, like gas or cigarettes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tax is a charge of money or property that a government collects from individuals or entities within its authority. It does not include charges for specific goods or services, like bridge tolls or sanitation fees. Taxes are usually based on economic measurements like income, consumption, property, and wealth. Some governments also impose excise taxes on specific goods, like gasoline or cigarettes.

  • US Income Tax: The US government collects income tax from individuals and businesses based on their income levels.
  • Property taxes: Property owners pay taxes on the value of their land and buildings to the local government.
  • Excise taxes: Governments may impose taxes on specific goods, like gasoline or luxury items, to discourage their use or raise revenue.
These examples illustrate how taxes are collected by governments to fund public services and programs. Income tax is used to support national programs like healthcare and education, while property taxes help fund local services like schools and roads. Excise taxes are used to discourage the use of certain goods or raise revenue for specific programs.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
