Then If room for a bit more time advance on a drawing of mine. That's the plan. next week is comms only , wanna try to finish some more. I got one more reward, one of Soi-Fon and Yoruichi, so, gonna be fun, always wanted to draw those two together!
Opportunities like that i can't pass them!

Back to rogue trading:

I never played Rogue trader first DLC, so i dled the game again and played it. It's one of the RPG i played the most in my life, exept Mass effect, so i know most of it through and through. So it's nice to get new things around. Some are.. let's say harder than i tough, one new add is a space battle that is frankly bullshit level of hard. But most is pleasant content. This time playing Pandora Von Valancius, Noble from a forge world, with a military background. Fairly smart, she manage to resolve a thousand years war on a close planet, giving her a reputation of smart ass. Playing her Iconoclast, so basicly the "Good" guy, who is bitch slaped around as 40k world don't play nice. Midway through act 2 atm, i loosed 30 min of play yesterday when i hit F9 by mistake and i noticed i hadn't saved or that the game didn't auto saved in 30 minutes.. So i kinda stopped and didn't jumped in since XD
I'll, and i'll finish, curious to see what comes later on, still a great game, and i like a lot the added characters, ship part, quest and new companion so far. Curious to see how that all end =D

20% for 25k

Warning, we talk politic here, in France
So, in France we have a system that allow the government to pass a law, without vote. It's call article 49.3 of the constitution. At first it was added for in case of war or issue... But it is now used as a tool to basicly say "fuck democracy". If the president want a law voted and he know it won't be, he basicly say "fuck it we ball" and it's on. One way to cancel it is for the deputee to censor the government, and it basicly mean, every deputee loose their sit and government is deposed, so we have to start again. So far only twice in French history they had the balls to do it, last time was a few month ago.
So our new prime minister used the 49.3 to pass a law on the budget, and the assembly national let it pass. It say a lot of thing, but one article hit me personaly. Basicly, if you're small one man company, you're not hit by all the taxes, kinda logical, you're small, we don't want to choke you too much. I mean i already pay 24.3% of all income. Before the "roof" for paying more taxes was 37.5 k/year. Once passed this they add an additional 20% taxes on you.. funny enough, Big BIG company got so many "gift" from the state that sometimes some end paying less taxes than one man company =D Apple for exemple in 2017 had so many tax gift that it paid 0€ in France among all their shops ^^.
All to say, now they put the roof at 25k.
mean, you make 25k/year? now you don't pay 24.3% of your income, now you pay 44.3% of your income as taxes!
I'm not there yet. I'm not against paying taxes, i think it's normal to give back,n to help build infrastructure, but damn.. they refused to put more taxes on high incomes, and they pressure the poor a bit more every year..
That's the most political thing i'll ever write here. It just pain me to see that each time i think it can't get worse, the noble men find a way to put more on our backs to remove it from our billionaires overlords. Cause yeah, they didn't increased big fortune taxes, the 3rd worldwide fortune is French, and he said that if they increased his taxes by 0.01% he would leave the country and shut down all his factories, so they didn't and just pressed it more on us.
So.. if in a year or two i come back to tell you 'we gonna need to increase all our price by 20% guys" you know why. Because our leaders have no balls, and work for bigger bosses than us..
And then they wonder why i'm communist..

That's about it , sorry for the rant at the end, happened in last two days and i needed it out of my system.
Thanks for reading this far
and c ya soon!
