I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

I don’t like it when underprivileged people get the short end of the stick. It sucks.
But trains are awesome, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to create the infrastructure we desperately need without some people being inconvenienced.
They’re fixed rates, maybe that’s a good idea!
lol how tight would it be if I could buy my own mortgages off of the bank for a discount
Exactly.
If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains
Based
Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon
No that’s why I clarified foreign spending instead of domestic
How about a wealth tax for people with over $10 million dollars of assets
How about tripling the size of the IRS (or more) so that the government actually gets what it’s supposed to
How about cutting foreign defense spending
How about increasing the corporate tax rate even just a little bit
Or only paying social security to people who need it
Or getting rid of insanely wasteful farm subsidies
But yes, I think we actually agree, that people who come here need to be paid a fair wage. That was really my point. When people talk about immigration to fix labor shortages, they almost always mean minimum wage or thereabouts (or even lower like for farm workers).
Yes exactly, thank you.
Why do they need immigrants? There are people here now who need jobs, they can do it.
If I hear “immigrants will accept lower wages” one more fucking time I’m going to lose it, that’s just an intentional creation of a lower class, it’s feudalistic and coercive. Same thing with farm labor. Pay a reasonable amount and local people will do it.
Kinda looks like an older kiefer sutherland
The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.
That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.
Tax cuts for the rich are capital gains tax cuts and corporate tax cuts.
Income tax cuts don’t impact them, broadly.
Someone explain to me how this would benefit the rich. The rich don’t pay income tax.
Correct it doesn’t, I agree. But that’s the status quo, that’s what the prosecution has to fight against. They ARE on their back foot because of Trump’s enormous and violent following. And when you’re on your back foot, you have to be perfect. It’s unfair and it’s total shit. But they screwed up.
Yes that’s so dumb. It’s like obviously stupid. He could have stepped down and I’m sure she could have instantly found someone impartial to take his place.
I know there isn’t technically a conflict of interest, but there appears to be and that’s enough.
They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.
EV Miata please. With 4 wheel drive and a power hard top convertible.
Good. Kids don’t need cell phones, and they really are a huge distraction.
Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.
