Interesting.

So that means match any string that is made entirely of a single repeating sequence, where repititon is possible.

Empty input Or input of exactly 1 character Or input of at least 2 characters, followed by at least 1 something (idk what \1 matches)

Did I get it (almost)?

The problem is loopholes, but I'm not a tax lawyer, which is why I provi such a vague answer.

I think that ostentatious wealth is a sign you're not doing your share to help the society that supports you, so the disgustingly rich shouldn't exist. But I'm not opposed to a little inequality as reward for doing important work or going above and beyond, but what we have now is crazy.

I wouldn't really say that California's tax is especially progressive compared to taxes in the past, like the golden age of the USA. But even then, lobbyists have opened so many loopholes that it doesn't even really matter what the tax rate is

I don't know because I think if people got paid fair wages the world would look very different, and the cost of living calculations we currently use to determine fair wages would change in ways I can't predict.

I think that with aggressive progressive taxes, we'd see the range of incomes get compressed, and lift lower incomes. I'm not entirely sure how that'd affect cost of living, it'd probably go up, but wages would go up more.

But if I had to guess, if say everyone should be making between $100k and $300k, and I should probably be somewhere in the middle of that.

Any necessity of life.
Any inelastic commodity.

Edit:
Upon rereading, I totally missed the spirit in which the question was asked. Whoops lol

House fire.

(That's a lie, I'm not and I live in an apartment, but I plan on prepping for it)

Not sure if youre only asking Americans, but in case this is for everyone:

I'm doing pretty well.
Could probably scrape by for a year if my wife and I both lost our jobs.

Mainly lucked into success:
My boss from a summer job when I was in college knew the boss of an internship I was applying for, and put in a good word for me.
They hired me upon graduation, but went under shortly after, however a large company was on a hiring spree right at that time and I landed a job there with a hefty pay bump.
Then I got laid off there right as a local startup was on a hiring spree to increase their valuation because they were looking to be acquired by a major high-tech company, and they hired me, again with a hefty pay bump.
They got acquired, and I started working on a team based on San Francisco. Because wages here were so much lower than the bay area, they were throwing raises at me because it was pennies to them.
I've been there for over 10 years.

As long as AI doesn't make my job redundant, I'll be good for the foreseeable future.

It's hard to find a very of any variety that isn't a raving douche

This is probably telling on myself, but I'm not sure how to read "breeding" here.

I'm assuming (hoping) that they mean the literal dictionary definition of breeding it with other sheep, to produce a herd of genetic mutant giant sheep.

I'm afraid they're using slang and this dude cloned his fav sheep and fucked it.
