Generally, people aren't very good at seeing the world from the perspective of people from a different culture.

Poor Americans struggle to understand what it means to be average, wealthy, or super wealthy. People born above the 50th percentile struggle to empathize with the bottom 10%.

Christians struggle to see the world from an agnostic viewpoint, and vice versa.

Empathy requires a lot of brain power that most people either choose not to use or do not possess.

People act in their own interest while minimising the plight of others. Even "bleeding heart libs" vote in their own interest to alleviate cognitive dissonance.

*Gasp* average people vote in their own self interest. Say it isn’t so!

Also, I never called anyone stupid. I think this has a lot to do with ignorance, and the fact that these dynamics are not straightforward, and the easy answer is not the right one. Ignorance is very different from stupidity, I’m an ignorant on very broad set of topics, but wouldn’t consider myself stupid. And I think the same applies to the majority of the population.

Our firm is establishing our target billable %'s at a small public accounting firm. Is there a website that gives target billable time % by staff level for the tax and accounting industry? Just started poking around the AICPA website, but would appreciate being able to save some time looking for it. I'm used to a lower % rate than what's being proposed (70% vs 85%) and don't want to cause undue pressure on staff, but do want to give a reasonable billable hours expectation going forward.

I don't really like Trump or Biden, but I want to say there is no winning for Biden with many of you on the right. A few weeks ago it was "Democrats are too focused on Russia" and now it's "Democrats didn't do enough to stop Russia".

I saw a poll a few weeks ago where around 40% of Republicans said we were being too aggressive, 40% said not aggressive enough, and 20% said about right. There's no winning that scenario.
