How about you review the thread there hoss and think about who started getting defensive, reflexively downvoting, and pitched folks as holding a position they didn’t have.

No, but it’s baffling to me that folks don’t seem to understand that timeshares with recurring maintenance costs that can only be discharged by paying someone to take them or bankruptcy aren’t worse. If people aren’t careful you can die and the damn things might get inherited, continuing the extraction misery. They’re a whole different class of financial mistake.

Yeah but see, I’ve only commented on how bad timeshares are and how you don’t actually own anything. They’re both equally awful, as the op stated. You’re the one trying to carry water for their actual value which is largely none or worse negative.

You’re not sure why lifetime debt traps are worse than one time bad investments? Are you just trying to win an Internet argument at this point thinking I’m defending NFTs? Because yeah, a lifetime liability is generally worse for your average person.

Honestly at least NFTs don’t have recurrent maintenance costs that literally make their value go negative.

But you sure don’t own it.

They’re still tax deductable in the US. Surprising it wouldn’t be in aus really. It is just an expense like payroll. I guess they’re trying to recover the fact that they can’t get payroll taxes from the employees if they’re fringe benefits so they really want to recoup it from the employer.

Hilariously still very common in small blue collar outfits. Construction workers and the like.

It was a shit system in the first place, designed to consolidate power.

I guess it’s just a strange thing to threaten: “watch out or you’ll be in trouble with yourself”

Face prosection from who exactly? Pam Bondi controls indictments for tampering with evidence and Congressional contempt actions are referred to the DOJ which then go to… Pam Bondi.

Read some history hoss. There were plenty of morons when child mortality was high.

The General Committee of United Croats of Canada dedicated its contribution to Ante Pavelić, who led the Nazi puppet regime in occupied Croatia in the former Yugoslavia, where around 32,000 Jews, 25,000 Roma and 330,000 Serbs were murdered by the regime. The same organisation purchased a brick dedicated to Mile Budak, a high-ranking official in Croatia’s fascist Ustaše organisation, whom it identified simply as a poet.

Of course it was anti Yugoslavia Balkan bullshit. Chetniks(if you’re a Serb expat) and Ustaše(if you’re a croat expat) did nothing wrong if your ideology must delegitimize the idea of a multicultural Yugoslav state.

Shoulda posted this in the shit post sub. Put a winamp logo in the corner.

Eventually. Stoicism and not fixing things is it’s own form of major depression and I’m a pro.

I’ve got no heat other than a space heater or hot water because of a busted oil tank. I take showers at freezing temperatures at short bursts and they’re… Refreshing I guess. But I don’t want to stay in them.

I couldn’t roll my eyes harder at this level of zeroing in on random drugs based on someone getting an IV.

By energy infrastructure improvements you’re talking about building houses and installing solar panels in places that nobody can live in because the only jobs are building houses and installing solar panels right? Because if ridgeline wind turbines, rail electrification and improvement, and grid backbone power lines are what you’re talking about I don’t think that’s in the bill.

I’m extremely skeptical as to the impact on these investments in the first place. Retraining workers to install solar panels and drywall and building a solar panel installation warehouses in an area that doesn’t have the economic engine to buy this new construction seems extraordinarily backwards. It’s like a free market version of China’s ghost cities but worse because you don’t even get actual infrastructure from it.

Liberals are under no illusion as to how workers rights were run. That’s why they did the Taft Hartley act after all. Don’t go getting too uppity now.
