          Pipe bombs have been found in the school.

          Not confirmed.

          Confirmed now, apparently they just went off.

            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.

              Yeah, I know you have relatives there. But that is only a single perspective not everything.

                They can know that it is higher than the minimum counted. And yes, with authorities. It was the fire department's info.

                  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.
