  • Unless you have a unique tax situation, your taxes have been pulled out of every paycheck throughout the year. You can’t protest by not doing taxes because you’re probably giving Uncle Sam more than you otherwise would have.

    Real tax based protest begins when you get a unique tax situation where your employer stops prepaying taxes for you. Or if you jump through the hoops to break even on your taxes.

    Either way, there’s probably better ways to protest. The IRS will find you they won’t care who was president at the time.







  • My parents were 911 dispatchers for decades. It’s how they met. They had 7 monitors last time I visited them at work 20 years ago. Their applications seemed to be built on the idea they had multiple monitors worth of space that they’d be stretched across.

    If I remember accurately, there were 2 computers (and thus 2 mice and 2 keyboards). The first computer had 5 monitors and was the Google Maps equivalent for where all the active ambulances in the city were. The main application stretched across multiple monitors and had sub-windows with different operations in them. I think it also managed the radio between dispatcher and ambulance. The second computer was dedicated to the phone, the caller, any history attached to the phone number, and all the data 911 gets about your location. It took up the remaining few monitors. By now it’s probably 1 computer and even more monitors.
