Reading the letter in full, it is clear that when he says he expects and hopes to pay more taxes, it is because he expects and hopes that profits will increase.

But doesn't that go both ways? It's a bad path if you are only allowed to post your thoughts on Twitter if you put forward exactly the right (according to you) political or social views publicly.

In some states, suburban and rural folks find out they like concentrated areas made for people, not cars, once every year. They love the state fair.

For an authoritative source, you might try "Caring for your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5", by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

For card-present goods and services it's likely lower, but for card-not-present online software sales from a small company, rates with your own merchant account can be even higher than 8%. This is a big advantage of using Stripe and the like.

Credit card rates with your own merchant account are 3% - 8%, depending on your industry and chargeback history.
Federal Marginal tax rates are 10% - 38%, plus maybe 5% in MN.
If they are giving you a 5% - 10% discount for cash, sure, it's probably because they appreciate skipping the credit card. If they give you a larger discount for paying in cash, they probably aren't reporting the income.

UWP XAML is fine for targeting Windows 10, but if you consider cross platform to at least include Windows 7 and 8 also, it is a non-starter.

Eto.Forms is nice for this. It targets WPF, Xamarin.Mac, and GTK, so you get Windows, macOS, and Linux support with a single codebase.

Data from these studies are publicly accessible. The CLOSER project is working on documenting all the data and questionnaires that are part of the eight major UK cohort studies:

Re:Request For Research: Basic Income

Is five years long enough to get a real reaction? Unless somebody is on the verge of retirement, and they want to keep working after the experiment, they must consider staying in the job pool or have difficulty getting hired in five years. To see how people would react to a government-provided basic income, which would presumably be fore life, the study may have to emulate that more perfectly.
Nevertheless, I'm very excited by this project and seeing what comes of it.

He adopted the style of a preacher. Lots of contrast: fast to slow, loud to quiet, excited to thoughtful. He left long quiet spaces, and implored the audience to ask themselves to believe. It's a deliberate style that one may or may not like.
