  • imo it’s pretty easy: they have a definition for “household” already, so if “household income” applies it’s 300k, if not then it’s 150k (though i’d argue probably a little over half since being single is more expensive than splitting expenses, but i guess also having kids is more expensive than that)

    or perhaps it’s 180k or something + 100k per person in the household which makes a nice little niche for kids, partners, etc and the same applies whether you’re a single person making that or a couple making that … and if you’re raising like 7 kids or taking care of disabled relatives etc, i mean bravo paying a bit less tax is probably reasonable












  • i don’t know what to tell you mate, but i have, and do this regularly: i travel to berlin yearly and drink multiple coffees per day when im there… they have them labelled as their size names, but they are 8oz-12oz sizes: what they call them is irrelevant; it’s the standard when buying the cups, so they are 8oz etc sizes

    it’s also kinda irrelevant what a shot of espresso is: they come in 4oz cups… this is the standard that a cafe will give… a shot of espresso is a shot of espresso; the volume of liquid doesn’t really change, and you wouldn’t pay more for a larger amount without extra coffee anyway

    for flat whites etc, the standard GLOBALLY is an 8oz cup with a single shot (or sometimes 2 depending on the bean - really that can vary depending on the cafe and how mild their beans are) full to the top with steamed milk… that’s it - there’s no ifs buts or maybes… it’s the same in germany, it’s the same in france, it’s the same in belgium, it’s the same in australia, and yes it’s the same even in the US

    even starbucks behind their ridiculous names for their cups use standard cup sizes: a short is 8oz, a tall is 12oz, a grande is 16oz
