That's not how compound increases are measured.
We can use the compound interest formula for this.
A = P * (1 + r) ^ t
- A is the final amount.
- P is the starting amount (the principal).
- r is the rate (as a proportion, so 50% would be 0.5).
- t is the time.
To figure out the annual increase for the whole time we can plug in what we know and solve for what we don't:
7.25 = 0.25 * (1+r) ^ 80
29 = (1+r) ^ 80 years
1.043 = 1+r
0.043 = r
So that's about 4.3% increase per year over the 80 years.
Now we can see what we would have as minimum wage if it had continued over the past 15 years:
A = 7.25 * (1+0.043) ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.043 ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.88
A = 13.63
So that's a $13.63 minimum wage.
I don't know... thanking G-d that you are not a woman every day seems pretty bad.
Exactly. If a company tells me that I get unlimited time off then tell me when the Christmas party is because I'm on PTO until then.
I'm not sure since I haven't really used Windows for 20 years or so. I don't think though, since there are separate CURSES libraries for Windows which don't operate using escape sequences.
Hahaha that's fantastic! Do you remember who it was? I'd love to read about this....
It's a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. 😆
As long as its an official act, sure!
The only prohibition against arrest that I know of is immunity from arrest for members of Congress.
For some reason I remember a lot of ANSI terminal escape codes. They were used all the time on DOS machines, and work in a similar way on Unix terminals.
Maybe not. It depends.
First, there is a long list of countries where you can deduct a lot of money from your salary if you pay tax in the other country. I think it's like $90 thousand dollars now? So if you make less than that you don't pay US taxes on top of your taxes where you are living.
Second, for basically the same list of countries you can deduct your taxes paid there from your US taxes.
The upshot is this only impacts countries the US empire doesn't deem worthy (I don't know which, sorry), or people who make a lot of money in low tax countries. I am told that both Switzerland and Japan fit that description.
So if you make $150k in Saudi Arabia then you'll end up paying US tax on most of that I think. 😄
The US system of taxing their citizens abroad is unfair, but people living abroad vote in the last place they lived in the US, so they don't have enough concentration of votes to matter. No politician is going to care if 0.02% of their constituents whine about unfair taxes when they have doners at home to appease.
I have met a lot of Finns and they are all pretty great. All a bit mad, but kind and fun.
Plus they don't mind when I make fun of their insane language. 😆
By 1950 though it was $1 an hour, which would be over $13 an hour today (using your sources below).
