I would think of coding as weight lifting. No pain no gain.
I think the term you used, treason, was in error. Treason is reserved for people like Edward Snowden.
The delay is transitory.
The wizard of oz story is more of a story about networks than it is about who's pulling the strings, IMHO.
The question is more important than the answer.
Let me google that for you:
No, payroll taxes and income taxes are not the same thing, although they are both types of taxes that individuals may pay.
1. **Payroll Taxes**: These are taxes that are withheld from an employee's paycheck by their employer to fund specific programs, primarily Social Security and Medicare in the United States. Payroll taxes are typically calculated as a percentage of an employee's earnings and are paid by both the employee and the employer.
2. **Income Taxes**: These are taxes imposed on an individual's or entity's income by the federal, state, and sometimes local governments. Income taxes are based on the total income earned during a specific period and can vary based on tax brackets. Unlike payroll taxes, income taxes are not specifically tied to funding particular programs.
In summary, payroll taxes are specifically for funding social insurance programs, while income taxes are based on overall earnings and fund a broader range of government services.
Not even on the map

I would agree with that if it wasn't happening by a man behind a curtain.
Pendulum swings. More at 11:00
It doesn't change the wizard of oz story line, except that there is just a new wizard. A better one, yes, but still a man behind the curtain.
Kill your heroes, save their ideas
Signal is poor where I am at. Can you say again? I need your definition of stupid.
