Pipe bombs have been found in the school.
Not confirmed.
I'm getting news from inside the school, so some of it is earlier than media confirmation.
And no student "inside" can know counts. unless they are roaming the halls with police.
They can know that it is higher than the minimum counted. And yes, with authorities. It was the fire department's info.

Yeah, I know you have relatives there. But that is only a single perspective not everything.
Yes, but knowing new dead that aren't in the reported count is not an opinion or perspective. It's just earlier news.

There was more than 100 on the one that went down. They believe 110.

Right, so a logical conclusion would be planes with less than 100 people won't go down, similar to the logic of non-Boeing won't go down lol... Or less likely to!

Ah, the way you responded I was treating the combination as being after the negative of my statement.

A very misleading article.
Depending on your lifestyle and family size, your take home pay and what you pay in taxes in the #40th country could potentially be a lot more valuable to you than one below #20, the US for example.

Also misleading, where in the US do you get such a low tax rate? Maybe if you ignore the cost of healthcare, but even then, it's nowhere close.

I don't think it's considering Healthcare or anything. I think just straight federal/state/local taxes, if that.

Yeah, which is REALLY scammy. Because healthcare costs are required, ergo taxes, in the US. It's collected by a federal proxy and is required federally and if you don't pay it, you are fined (taxed) by the feds. It's a tax in every sense. And it is a huge number. Using private tax collectors doesn't make it less a tax - because it is compulsory contribution to state revenues levied by the government on income or profits. It's as tax as tax gets.
All those other 39 countries all call their healthcare tax a tax and it is wrapped up into their percentages. So the US number isn't comparable.

18% tax rate in the US? Where? Mine is 40% at least. 33% to Fed and another 10% of everything else i spend goes to WA, plus the hidden taxes in the sticker price of things like beer and food.
