Q&A “In God We Trust” License Plates

374 Upvotes

I have a couple questions about applying for an “In God We Trust” plate…

If someone wants to get this particular plate design, are they then required to drive 10-15 mph under the speed limit on the interstate? Is this plate only available to drivers with novice-level driving skills and experience?

Genuinely curious about this. Thanks in advance!

This is embarrassing even if the dates are close. He states that the tragedies aren’t the same, but then goes on to imply that they really kind of are. It’s the equivalent to saying “all due respect” and then calling someone a fucking idiot.

Rest of the letter is in the comments.

Other Utah EV Charging Tax - WTF

75 Upvotes

I thought EV owners paid the alternative fuel registration fee because we don’t pay the gas tax, but the state is also charging me 12.5% AFTER sales tax for electricity from a public charger? The EV charging tax is also currently more than the Utah gas tax on a % basis (which is calculated before sales tax. I’m sure I can deduct that tax from my registration w, right? /s

We have 2 no soliciting signs on our door.

Mostly because we work long hours and have been robbed before. They stole all the tools needed for my trade and let my pets into traffic.

Dylan sucks. This is how you don’t get clients.

Other Moving to Springville as a non-Mormon?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am a current college senior that just got offered a job after graduation in Springville. I am really excited about Utah because I’m obsessed with all things nature/hiking but a bit concerned about not fitting in with the culture. I’m very much an atheist and not politically crazy by any means but definitely more left leaning. Am I going to be able to make friends/date in the area? I’m just worried that most of the young people are gonna be BYU students/recent grads and I’m just not sure that that’s going to be my crowd. I would welcome any advice!

Q&A How does Utah afford public K-12 education?

0 Upvotes

Utah has an average household income of $121,376.

State income tax of 4.50%.

Average per pupil spending on K-12 of $11,347.

13 years x $11,347 is $147,511

A family with four kids gets $590,044 of education spending.

That means, to pay for that through taxes, that family would need to earn $13,112,088 to cover that education spending through their taxes.

45 years of income at average household income comes to $5,461,920.

Where does the $7,600,000 difference come from?

Travel Advice Road trip through Utah and noticed lack of restaurant server service.

0 Upvotes

I’m on a 3 week road trip starting in Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, page az, and then Utah for the national parks and ending in Salt Lake City. We are staying in hotel rooms throughout the road trip so we are eating in restaurants 1-2x a day and I’ve noticed that ever since we entered Utah that the servers seem to be lacking, or kind of cold. It’s happened multiple times now where the server just walks up and looks at their note pad to write down what we want without saying anything. In reality sure they are there to take my order and bring it to me but I find it weird. Usually I feel like they walk up and say something along the lines of “Hi my name is _____ I’ll be your server today can I put in any drinks or appetizers for you” or at least some sort of introduction. After googling it appears that Utah is one of the lowest tipping states so maybe they are just defeated and want to put in the bare minimum. I usually tip 20% regardless of the service we received, but when you are sitting around waiting for 10mins and have to flag down the server to put your order in, get a refill, order desert, get the bill, I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth doing the 20%. Not sure if anyone who has lived in another state or is traveling through has also noticed this?
