Россия vs США: где платят больше налогов (на примере средней зарплаты)

Недавно я опубликовал статью, где попытался сравнить налоговую нагрузку в России и США на примере дохода в 100 000 рублей. На что, в комментариях мне указали, что сравнивать такие абсолютные цифры напрямую нельзя, поскольку если в России 100 тысяч это зарплата, с которой налоги удерживаются по полной программе, то в США 1300 долларов это уровень бедности, который американская прогрессивная шкала освобождает от федеральных налогов.И таким образом сравнивая принципиально разные уровни...

Peter Molyneux's Masters of Albion looks to have everything I love about those Bullfrog and Lionhead classics, but the scepticism is hard to shake

Few developers can - even after all this time - get you quite so swept up in their enthusiasm as Peter Molyneux. It's an enthusiasm that has, famously, got him into trouble in the past, when passion and promise have failed to meet reality by quite some margin - with players often caught in fallout. So it's hard not to be sceptical when it comes to 22 Cans and Molyneux's... Read more

After a massive but divisive launch last week, Crimson Desert is the talk of the town. From its use of gen-AI that supposedly was "unintentionally included in the final release" to talk from anonymous sources that point to an unfocused creative vision, much of the buzz around the game is wary. That said, the title is a financial success with over 2 million copies sold already and a notable amount... Read more
