I sorta get you but I do think a soft cap is the way to go. those pyschopaths will literally just go underground. hiding wealth, capping all family and such. I mean they do this anyway basically but with a soft cap it just makes it harder for them to decide which is worse. working more or finding a better system to get more or working more or finding a better way to circumvent the system.

im not. I don’t think they will. I think we can be an option and we can stay away from it but getting everyone off of it would be like trying to get everyone to stop watching tv. I mean more power to you but I just don’t see it happening. At least not in this we get everyone off way. I think we can improve till its just a better option. Its like science fiction and fantasy were niche things but hey lewis was kinda right that it was getting hip to be square. If people come it will be more organic and likely will also result in a lot of corpo prescence.

I love the enthusiasm but do you think you will get the normal people to do this?

warrants around elections should require sign off from the local election running agency (usually boards where I am at) and the state level highest one and if one or the other won’t sign then the state congress should have to authorize it along with one of the agencies or the state congress with a 2/3rds vote.

you don’t even need that. If you have more brackets and keep going up in percentages and tax every type of income including investments in progressive way then you will get to a point where its just to hard to make more than say 10 million. We basically had this. When we had tax brackets that went up to 95% and only 40% for investment and that limited wealth quite a bit. Rates need to be the same regardless of source be it inheritance, lottery winnings, wages, or investments. Heck im fine with not paying taxes on things if you legally lock it up so it can’t be sold. still have to pay any income it creates year to year but can’t sell it or transfer it in any way. combine this with a 1% tax on all buying and selling which would be a massive reduction for most purchases but would be a vast increase for stock and bond trading. would completely clear out short term trading.

yeah and that is because of congressmen who are derelict in their duty. other congressmen should keep on doing their duty and bring up impeachment charges for everything he has done. An individual violating the constitution can’t be helped and even a department is something that happens but when the administration does not punish and remdiate the violations as part of their oversight then it becomes an administrative policy to violate the constitution and that means the president himself is now responsible for violating the constitution. This outside of actual instructions for vioating the constitution and disengenously arguing that they are not when they clearly are. Many replublicans are wealthy and educated and benefit greatly from a stable rule of law society. I am hoping that it is trickling in on them that not only trump must go but republicans do. That conservates need to rebuild and find some actual priniciples if they ever hope to have a rich enough society to skim off of.

Ok. unpopular opinion time but this is kinda dumb as congress has a specific process for removing a president which was put in specifically for a president behaving like trump. impeachment. the 25th relies on the rest of the presidents cabinet having balls but trump requires they leave them at the door when they enter his administration.

I don’t know that. Its modification is so simple I find it hard to believe you need a whole conspiracy around its discovery. Generally flooding cocaine I can believe. Im kinda surprised crack was not something developed sooner giving how dead simple it is. People trumping aroudn with ether when you could just cook it in a baking soda solution.

so we lost lost all progress in limiting irans ability to create nuclear weapons in order to stop them from creating unuclear weapons. Well thats definately all trumped up.

I would not count me as a good source this is just the impression I got from movies and the occasional article that have actually mentioned the process. There were articles about trumps first term about him repeadadely asking to carry the football and was told no because it stays handcuffed to the carrier who is conversant on the process. Whats kinda scarry is the president is supposed to know some things so the carrier can’t do it themselves and I really wonder if trump has the cognitive ability to do his side of it. Which kinda makes me wonder if vance or anyone has been given whats needed. Honestly im not sure if the vice presidents don’t in general get it as well just in case along with a few others. I mean there is likely only a very small group that knows for sure.

that was quite the loss of life with the level of caualties and all. Its like 25% of the human population was killed in that conflict. That was before folks were to worried about genetic diversity though.

the way I understood it the president could do it but there is a person that carries it and knows the process and how to use the codes and such but if it goes through and passes a variety of verifications then a strike is called.

yeah we shall see how long it lasts but I can look in a configuration area that lists my globals.

Well you spoke about other first nations but what your saying is only austrailian fist nations. Can you name a european oral history that used stone weapons?

no idea which is why I wonder if its just taco. im just happy there is less loss of life then he was pushing for.

I don’t use smarphones for entertainment really.

This seems kinda fanciful. First nations in america had such deep seated hatred in their conflicts that they allied with the invading colonists to defeat rivals.

last I heard they brokered a cease fire. this may be taco but for the first time I don’t want to make fun of him for it.

cool. I think im no longer eleigible for snap.

I just found out gemini has a thing called personal context. it claims it has been around since 2025 but it mentions a memory change in march of this year. I think the change may be better than it mentions. it also seems to call it saved info. Anyway it allows you to set global instructions it should use for your query. Here is mine: “Please keep things discrete and don’t worry about flattery. Use context to see if I’m discussing something I ask about a lot like a video game or various media, but don’t connect everything; just use context to flesh out if I don’t give you enough context in my query.”
