Ineffective tax policies have different direct harms than other ineffective policies. Wealth taxes frequently do not bring in enough revenue which is a significant problem.

They don’t because many know the history of wealth taxes and how frequently they get abandoned because they are ineffective IRL.

No because rigging an election normally would take thousands of people working in secret. Trump won because America has a lot of dumb people in it

My kids?

I fear that would rapidly decline into a shitshow as not everyone here is rational or educated in the subjects being discussed. I can easily see this being used abusively

The part about asking what about the company resonates with you is a good interview question provided you hire for the long term. If you hire for a specific project what loyalty are you expecting?

Yup friend of the family got it years ago and now sees coronas of light intensely enough while driving at night that they had to stop driving at night in their mid-40s.

If you think you are going to get put in a camp, are you making any attempt to escape the nation before this happens?

Then please explain where the money for your retirement would come from?

The math is the same no matter which agency you are talking about. The funds either get invested in a market paying a return or you need a much larger working population than a non-working adult population paying taxes to maintain these payments.

The math for the next few decades does not support the idea that the government can afford to cover retirement as Gen X is so much smaller than the Boomers unless they take in a lot more immigrants which is unlikely given how racist Americans are right now.

There’s no path for you to retire.

Ok so if you’re an American you cannot count on social security to exist unless it can invest in the market. You have a massive glut of old people and fewer to replace them. That means your government cannot afford to maintain social security unless your population grows substantially and it is shrinking.

SO if you don’t plan on killing yourself you will either need to move to a nation whose population is growing OR you need to become a stock investor via mutual funds. You will have to become what you hate.

Which government are we specifically talking about here?

And how do you think that works?

Are you planning on killing yourself instead of retiring?

So anyone with a retirement account should get assaulted? They are shareholders.

At no point does Brita Water Filters claim to remove biological pathogens from the water.

Cuyahoga is also a great track on REM’s album “Life’s Rich Pagent”

Brad Pitt is an abusive partner. Jennifer Anniston suggested as much quietly post-divorce and Jolie and their children have clearly stated as much.

In the wake of his divorce there were a handful of comments from Jennifer Anniston that suggested he was abusive. This has since been backed up by his last wife and several of his kids.

That is the case for Fox viewers
