  • I think you’re missing something here; in the UK we also talk about pre-tax income.

    It’s important in lots of ways, for example you choose how much to pay into your pension, and you get tax relief on that.

    If you just talk about post-tax income you would miss the enormous difference between someone who is on £54,350 and pays the minimum 8% into a pension (£50k taxable) and someone on £62,500 who pays 20% into a pension (£50k taxable). The second person is a lot better off overall, because they have saved £12,500 in their pension and the first person has saved £4,350, which compounds pretty quickly.



  • Sadly I think in the next 5 years, as LLMs get cheaper and more accessible, there will be nowhere left like this. Nowhere that you can have an anonymous old school conversation using a text interface with the expectation that you are talking to real people.

    Maybe there will be some magic anti-AI tech, but I can’t think of a way you could implement that without trashing anonymity.
