I don't know how y'all have done it for so long. I'd quit today if I didn't need the health insurance.

Shared feelings. It’s very difficult and makes me want to quit this industry altogether because hiring, and retaining, diverse talent seems to be all talk. Here if you want to talk ✋🏽

CD1, What's public? I'm sorry if I don't understand.

EP1, oh yes. I see how that could be terribly misread now. My intentions were to say I've seen what it's like to be around a workforce that favors more POC and what it would feel like working around more POC (like myself). Absolutely nothing directed at JM hah.

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
