Mount Quarter Pounder? Sounds suspiciously English to me…

Edit: Also wouldn’t Mount Royale with Cheese be Montreal avec fromage?

Damn NWP hoarding all the rain on the west coast!

Technically yes. Rev. David Rice. He sold most of The Virginia Colony and raised 1.5 million pounds of silver, which he gave to his good friends Tom, Ben, and Jim to help fund the US Army and US Navy. IIRC the exchange rate at the time was 4 or 5 British Pounds to a pound of silver.

I’m certain the British consider him a traitor to the crown.

The Royal Air Force is getting funding from the USSR/Russia?

He got the hell out of Marietta Georgia, and managed to buy land in Indiana. We also have a history of being in the Navy since well before the country was founded.

It’s illegal for citizens to do, not the FED

Tell me you know nothing about economics without telling me you know nothing about economics.

Taxes are an anti-inflationary measure that are implemented at the end of the federal governmental fiscal year. Where they get implemented is where politics comes in, but taxes are just money that is collected and deleted. We literally used to burn the collected currency, but since most of our currency these days is digital, we just zero out a line in the federal government’s accounting ledger.

Taxes never have, never will, and never can pay for anything when talking about a sovereign currency. That’s a conservative zero sum lie that people that don’t understand economics fall for.

Admittedly you have a point since parents are individuals in most of the US where I am from.

That hasn’t been true historically, nor does it need to continue just because we have done it that way for a few generations. Historically, parents are an entire community of adults raising the children as a group, which does map onto what a government is supposed to be fairly accurately.

More like we don’t have a choice, and the math wasn’t done to prove that we wouldn’t have a choice for another 65-75 years after we set up the first modern democracy based on 6 Nations philosophy, but go ahead, go off.

COBOL. That’s why he’s a subcontractor. Not like they taught COBOL in my CS courses in university in 1998-2002.

You clearly don’t know what taxes are for.

Tell me you don’t know anything about economics without telling me you know nothing about economics.

You kinda can in the US. Dunno about civilized countries.

Not quite. More like per 40 hour week with no overtime, but my father insists on having up to 20 hours a week of overtime he’s allowed to burn, so it’s kinda like $7,500 a week. He generally gets paid byweekly or monthly. Subcontractor and all that BS

It’s to get the hell out of middle of nowhere dead end towns. At least that was the draw when I was in, as well as my cousins, and father.

The enemy of progress is perfection

Their salaries would be baked in. They get $1,000,000 per year. This is so that each is a position that is given to the highest scoring person in Ethics that just graduated, whenever a position is available

The Sovereign Fund for Humanity’s Poor. Even if the wealth is stacking up that fast all anyone has to do is set up a trust fund with that name, the goal of using said wealth to fund every single human with a trust fund that will eliminate poverty in their life, and a board of directors that MUST contain two fiduciaries but only one from any given major Megalopolis, as well as three data analysts from OxFam. Once that’s setup, all you have to do is setup automatic deposits of every single penny above $100,000,000 and every other rich person can do the same. This causes everyone to see that every other ultra rich person is just greedier than literal dragons.

If we can explain to the morons that a tarriff is a tax, we might get somewhere. I seem to recall us being upset about taxes on “hemp” and “British coffee,” or something.
