It can be also a married person tax depending on your circumstances. If both spouses make similar amounts then they are getting taxed more as a married couple, because the bracket threshold for a married couple are less than 2x that for an individual.
I don't understand why everyone is not taxed as an individual, regardless of marital status.

It was a decision intended to foster racial and socioeconomic diversity, adopted in 2020[1]. It will likely be reversed in the 2026/2027 school year[2]

The lottery has been around since way before 2020, I believe.
You do get preferential assignment to one school close to you. Most schools can take in all the kids that have this neighborhood preference but I believe there are a couple that don’t. (This is for Kindergarten, TK is more of a mess).
There are a few options but they are pretty radical departures. There are a few grocery stores, typically natural food co-op type places in the US, that will have no packaging. These places you weigh out your peanuts and put them into your own bag, or they might have burlap or similar. The issue is more when you get into wet things. Meat, cheese, etc. these can be wrapped in wax paper. But thats not going to work if you have a central butcher factory.
I’ve heard of a grocery store in France that packages everything in glass. https://ledrivetoutnu.com/pages/le-super-tout-nu?srsltid=Afm...

Dishwasher saves a lot of water and energy compared to hand wash if you run it with more than a small number of dishes.
My recently acquired Bosch dishwasher does a fine job.

Every time I've heard some variation of this, the example is always three. I'm more interested in four. Does the pattern follow through? Because I physically can't hold up 3 fingers and my thumb without the pinky going up to, when I do 3, my thumb is holding my pinky down.
I think French people would do 4 with just the pinkie down. At least this specific French person does :). In my case that means the ring finger is not perfectly up, but still enough that it's clear it's raised.
Requiring people to consume a medical product, especially one that has not been subject to the full FDA approval process, just to live their normal lives is morally wrong. They are making people into test subjects for a multinational corporation. It doesn't matter if we already do this to an extent with other vaccines; nothing in the past has ever come close to this.
It doesn't matter if you think the vaccine is more or less dangerous than the coronavirus. It goes back to basic human dignity and human rights. You wouldn't want strangers mandating injections into your body that you don't want. No one would be okay that, unless they are insane.
You might make the argument that anti-vaxxers are endangering others' health by being out in public without a vaccine, but that's only a claim. Lots of people make claims about others infringing their rights all the time, and a nontrivial number of those are baseless. A huge number of assumptions about medical science and constitutional law would need to be tested in court for it to hold any weight, unless you're willing to jettison the entire process of civil society.
Well, it happened to all of us for months for the past several months: in many places, people were prevented from "living their normal lives": in San Francisco, you could no longer get your hair cut, go to a restaurant, or worse, have family or friends over etc. Now, we are saying instead of imposing such restrictions on everyone, we are giving the opportunity of those willing to vaccinate to get back to some of these things. Why is it a problem to keep some restrictions for the unvaccinated that we've had for all for months? Unless you think there should never have been restrictions, but then how would you propose to handle all the folks that would have come knock on the doors of hospitals and clamor for oxygen, like what apparently happened in India?
"It more or less made sense to require masks when people where unvaccinated. But now there is no reason to be OK to require masks either unless you are for mask wearing mandate for everything, everywhere, all the time"
Well, CDC is saying even vaccinated people should be masking. So it seems we are moving to a public-space mask everywhere all the time.
I think CDC is saying vaccinated people should be masking, because they may still transmit the virus to all the unvacinated out there that have a much higher likelihood of ending up at the hospital should they get infected. If all were vaccinated, transmission would be much less of a problem (since risk of acute symptoms would be way lowered) and I'm not sure the CDC would mandate masks.
In German, it is called Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt which, translated word-by-word, means The small Caterpillar Never-sated. I always found that an especially cute name.
How is The Very Hungry Caterpillar called in your language? Did the translator have similar freedoms with the name?
French seems to be La Chenille qui fait des trous: The Caterpillar That Makes Holes. Very underwhelming compared to the German or Dutch translations if you ask me!

But that's just a way of pronouncing large numbers; that's still saying '180 centimetres', not '1 [metre and] 80 centimetres'.
French people would most commonly say « un mètre quatre-vingt » meaning one meter eighty, centimeters being implied at the end.
