So I just started a new job that has a lot of positives. Less stress, better wages, and some other tangibles and intangibles that put a smile on my face.

But it involves keeping up to date on sales tax rates in several American states which I’ve never done before.

One of those states is Missouri.

God damn it Missouri, why can you people not figure out a single goddamn statewide sales tax rate like sane people? What is this motherfucking fuckness?! I have to keep track of one hundred and sixty goddamn sales tax jurisdictions that are often separated within municipal boundaries? Fuck.

    Part of the problem is that Missouri and Missourah are actually two separate states that have bamboozled us into thinking they are one, so as not to disrupt the MIMAL elf. They care very strongly about elementary school geography lessons and think naming him MIMMAL would be too confusing for kids.
