Hurrah for the support for Michael's gender identity transition! Is he still gonna go by "Mo" at all, since it's a gender-neutral nickname anyway? I noticed you generally use Michael now instead of Mo in posts...
"My friend Chris once told me if you 'win' a million dollars you actually only end up with maybe $250k after taxes which seems epically ridiculous." ^-- Yup, true. It's how taxes are. My friend made $102k last year and only got about $48k of it because of taxes. The more money you get in one lump sum, the more that gets taxed. I agree fully with the notion of progressive taxes like this, but disagree with just how STEEP it is... like srsly, wtf, government, thanks. =\
