The Big Beautiful Bill Brings Big Changes For Taxpayers

Politics.

Authored by Sandra Block via Kiplinger's Perosnal Finance,

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Trump on July 4, includes tax breaks for an expansive range of taxpayers, while scrapping credits for energy-saving vehicles and home improvements.

More broadly, the legislation makes the tax cuts in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, which means tax rates won’t increase after 2025. Here’s a look at how other provisions in the bill could affect your taxes.

Spain: 70% Of Tested 'Unaccompanied Minor' Immigrants Are Actually Adults
Okay... spinal tap? Or did the migrants need to donate a finger?

Inside Artemis: Il profilo di volo
Notice there is no video from the mission at all. What a fraud...
What communist regimes REALLY did to women
WTF is this? Since when do women need "bodily autonomy"? Is that the same as murder of children? And since when do women need "more say" in how the society "is run", while having more "free time"?

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.

Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.
Primeiro Conjunto de Satélites Comerciais Nucleares para Lançar a Bordo SpaceX Rocket
According to their web site, it produces 0.00000004 watts, an amount so small there isn't even a consumer device that could measure any energy output above zero, much less power anything. And it costs $5,250.00. Hence, the satellite needs solar power.

To scale this up to generate a single watt would cost $10.5B and weigh 15 tons.

Voyager 1 relies on Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) for internal power.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.

Key Features of the Power System

The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.

Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.

The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.

Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.

Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
