Bye Taiwan, so long and thanks for all the chipsets.

I encourage you to provide a list of countries where it isn’t repealed and is effectively working.

Historical consequences of a wealth tax:

In other words, it’s just bad tax policy, hard to track and introduces administrative burden, and encourages further obfuscation. Alternative: Income tax reform is a better solution.

Welcome back to The Jungle. We’ve gotta make financial gains.

Better to have loved a bot than to never have loved at all.

Let them eat crab cakes.

But he’s right, ya know. We work harder.

Well, this is a step in the right direction from “wiping an entire civilization off the map.”

We have the second one already, we just call it lobbying.

But you can sleep soundly knowing that your taxes are $0.50 less more this year.

Talked to my therapist about this just this Friday. I have a friend, let’s call him Saul. He’s got an air about him, the way he carries himself. Good looking but not great looking, wears a certain kind of goatee that looks a little devilish. He presents as he is a gentleman, has manners, good listener, has a light touch - masculine but also effeminate in a way.

Women adore him! Like every woman I’ve ever met says she likes Saul. Not necessarily romantically, but just generally likes him and enjoys his company.

I’ve lived with this man on multiple occasions. He has caused my friends and I emotional harm. He will act overly aggressive about the smallest transgressions. I put a day bed in the common room one time, for a few weeks, and rather than approaching me about him not liking it, he demonstrated overt sex acts on it. The last time I lived with him a decade ago, he and my ex would berate me and the other roommate, in very toxic emotional ways, like in some kind of sadistic hedonist thing that they shared doing together - I think it came from them both being tortured souls from their respective upbringings. Likewise, when he didn’t get his way or the rise he wanted, he would just yell or throw things. Rather than approaching in a discussion, he’d go nuclear.

But that’s not the worst part, because it wasn’t all about what happened to me. A good friend of mine and him started dating about a decade ago. Started out great, romantic, etc. but then he started doing the same things to her, so she broke it off and moved back home. The dude, on multiple occasions, drove the two hours down the road and would just stalk her. Like follow her all damn day. Would make sure she knew he was around.

We’re older now, I see him around town. We have coffee on occasion. He seems to be doing better, got an education, and has a little business that’s woman centric that seems to be doing well.

But I won’t ever forget what I know about this man. The closet is full of skeletons, and damned if this meme wasn’t on point.

This guy’s a total shower.

History has proven again and again that the first woman to win will be a conservative. With more of the blue collar union guys starting to vote conservative, this becomes even more probable.

Even so, I really hope I can look on this comment 3 years now and be proved wrong.

You talking about Harry Buns?

“It’ll happen this time, I’m sure of if guys.”

Court sizes have shifted before, they can shift again.

The market will make what the market will bear. If a whole bunch of SpaceX fanboys decide to buy at the valuation, then it will exist.

Same reason some doofuses thought that a bunch of bits tied to a bunch of other bits that were in the shape of a funky monkey was worth millions and now it’s worth thousands.

Well, that’s gonna take an act of congress to get done.

And you think Nixon did?

And it’s worked before. The protests largely helped end the Vietnam war. Women got the right to vote because enough people spoke up. The civil rights act was passed. Enough small ripples in the same direction can produce a crashing tsunami.
