“Truthout” is just rage bait, even more so than more mainstream news media. They have no access to get interviews or direct reporting on the ground. Every article is just an opinion piece, whether they label it or not, because their goal is to enrage left wing readers.
This is legitimately the dumbest argument. You will just dismiss any commenters who disagree with you (“that’s your opinion, donate it to the government!”).
Besides, there are literal billionaires who will actually be affected by this clamoring for it. No one who has less than $100 million will be affected. No I don’t need a history lesson about income tax. If you want to live in a country without taxes, Somalia will welcome you.
P.S.: I have more than $20K in personal investments.
Lol. You are ignoring the fact that we already tax unrealized gains: property tax. And that’s actually harder to value than something on a stock market.
An “unknown number”? When you open your Robinhood app, does it show numbers? Because if it doesn’t I think you need to message their help desk.
The only proposals are for massive gains above $100 million. I think a 1% tax on that would be just fine.
That’s not how insurance works. They monitor average speed, acceleration, and braking, if anything. There’s no correlation between mouth movement and accidents. What if someone is chewing gum? What about adjusting dentures? What about drinking coffee while parked?
Show me an actuarial table that includes “mouth movement” as a variable or admit this is just a middle manager trying something stupid.
Their interpretation isn’t “originalist” or “strict” at all. It’s just what they want to say, at any given moment. History would be very different if both of your parents had to be US citizens. The president of the US is required to be a “natural born citizen”
Of the 45[a] individuals who became president, there have been eight that had at least one parent who was not born on U.S. soil.

For one, Donald Trump might not be president because his mother was born in Scotland.

For those (uninformed) Trump supporters who claim she was a citizen when little Donny was born, that’s true but her immigration process was much easier than it is today. This is it, in its entirety:
On May 2, MacLeod left Glasgow on board the RMS Transylvania arriving in New York City on May 11 (one day after her 18th birthday). She declared she intended to become a U.S. citizen and would be staying permanently in America.
Though the 1940 census form filed by Mary Anne and her husband, Fred Trump, stated that she was a naturalized citizen, she did not actually become one until March 10, 1942.[1][6][7] However, there is no evidence that she violated any immigration laws prior to her naturalization, as she frequently traveled internationally and was afterwards able to re-enter the U.S.
[She] became a naturalized citizen in March 1942
If they said “these fortunes are real and will come true” they would be liable for fraud.
Microsoft’s argument that they are not liable must include the idea that their Copilot AI is not expected to deliver true statements in its summaries. That’s clearly not what the purpose of the summary is.
She can deserve both compensation for suffering and punishment for taking her own action. This is premeditated and she didn’t need to be there, but his actions clearly contributed negatively to her mental state.
I think in one sense it can be good. Sometimes it is counterproductive to downvote someone from 1 to 0. I think this would prevent that, as the first downvote is probably the most important one.
But I agree that making any data public will allow everyone to be categorized easily. “This person dislikes this content and likes other content.”
Remember, you are giving this info to everyone. Mark Zuckerberg will be able to see what you like and dislike in all public votes.
looking at the rent prices in/near Santa Monica…
You are thinking of walking to work? You’re going to be commuting like everyone else. That’s why everyone in LA is stuck in traffic. Or just work from home.
as the story is being told the magic used is awesome and just what the plot needs at that exact moment to move along
That’s bad writing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina
a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence
$1.2 billion would be a very small bank. But also, that money is not able to be used by Starbucks. It’s not “earned” yet. I don’t know the details on what they can invest it in, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it has to just sit in a bank account earning very little.
Even a small bank would be able to invest the money much better.
we really didn’t understand that this was a medical issue
There are more things like this every day. So many people are diagnosed with mild ADHD or Autism later in life. Whereas before they were just “eccentric” or “unique”.
But you can leave. That’s a big difference between the two. If you feel bad, you can just sit down for a rest. I’m sure you got lunch too.
I don’t know why you’re trying to say your job was the same as a prison cell.
The funny part is how little the average person cared about that. These dumb articles just highlight that.
He’s dropping in the polls, especially against her. Maybe some people are too young to remember, but candidates usually gain like 10% in the polls after a failed assassination. Or 5% after the convention. And their Vice Presidential Candidate gains after the convention too.
Trump literally had no assassination or convention bump. His ceiling is less than 50% of voters. Kamala Harris has seen a large bump just from jumping into the race. Some swing state polls went from +8 or +10 trump earlier this year, to only +2 against Kamala.
She’s only made one speech as the potential candidate! Believe me, she’s going to be on top by the day of the debate.
That’s not anything that’s going to happen now. No presidential candidate is going to care about that.
I don’t know if you understand. People are donating and volunteering, for Kamala Harris. You don’t want more participation, You just want people to support your personally chosen candidate (who remains nameless).
Just refer to it as “stimulus for American manufacturing”. Convincing people is all about how you present things. If you’re the senator from CA, you’re going to present things differently than a presidential candidate. Even if the proposal is exactly the same.
I thought you were going to say:
“Is that really the best we can hope for? ‘Working on social and political causes to help see people and policies you like make it to the top’?”
And I was like “yeah, it is the best we can hope for”.
Easy solution: don’t cancel debt for people who live in those states. Say the Republicans blocked it. Move forward with everyone else.
