Update after doing my tax return with HR Block.
My first post was partially in error.
I wasn't taxed on my entire Social Security payments; my taxable amount was a couple thousand less, although my medicare payments were $3000 something.
So, about 2/3 of my medicare payment wasn't taxed after all.

A good thing about using tax software is you learn about the tax code.

This year I'm happy to not write such a huge check as last year; of course I'm also happy not to pay anything to California.

There are more members in that NXIVM sex trafficking club than KKK members.

‘Smallville’ actor Allison Mack released from prison for role as ‘slave master’ in Nxivm sex cult

“Smallville” actress Allison Mack has been released from federal prison after serving less than two years behind bars for her role as a “slave master” in the upstate Nxivm sex cult.

Mack, 40, was sprung from the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California outside of San Francisco Monday, Bureau of Prison records show.

The TV actress was sentenced to three years in prison in June 2021 after pleading guilty for her role in helping to brainwash women into becoming sex slaves for Nxivm leader Keith Raniere.

The cause of the crash seems conflicting and debatable, so let's look at motive. What is the motivation to take down the whole plane? To kill at least one person on board. Who? 230 people perished and it is a lot of research to find connections.

Here is the passenger list:
