He wants to increase the threshold of where you start paying 40%. The title of this article makes it sound like it's 45% but it's not. Currently this threshold is at about £50k. So this would make the biggest difference to exactly the middle classes.

This is almost certainly nothing to do with gaming but rather with preventing China from building up their own chip industry and using US chips in things like AI applications.

It looks like it's all orchestrated by Iran. Hezbollah, under Iran control, Hamas and Yemeni rebels. Hamas shooting at Israel in a way that they clearly knew would necessitate a massive response. What I'm wondering is what they gain from this. Perhaps solidarity from other powers in the Middle East, causing hatred of Israel? I'm also wondering if this is all covering action for China to tie down the US while China attempts to take Taiwan. We might be living through what in the future textbooks will be under the heading of factors leading up to.

I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users' upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn't find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?
