The argument for billionaires is “why should the government be allowed to set arbitrary caps on the amount of wealth you can accumulate” which I generally agree with, but it’s clear that wealth hoarding has become a problem. Maybe we say that the most you can keep is 1 billion. Once per year, any personal wealth over 1 billion is surrendered. So you can earn as much money as you want, but you need to spend it or surrender it.

Especially considering the rating of those bonds dropped after some ignorant spray-tanned chimp decided to skullfuck a functioning and stable economy.

Better than that remove all immunity from law enforcement officers if…

They do not have a signed judicial warrant.

They do not verbally and visually identify themselves and the branch or organization they work for.

Without those two things, they cannot be verified as law enforcement acting in official capacity, and they should be treated as regular civilians. If a bunch of regular Joes jump out of a van and try to black bag you, you should have the right to defend yourself with lethal force.

Yeah, but why aren’t hand-grenades and suicide vests covered in the right to bear arms?

Yeah. I have a car that has telemetry. Sucks for privacy, but if I was going to commit a crime, I would just ******************************************************************************, use the system to obfuscate the data.

A perfect demonstration of my point. Thank you.

Hahahah, fuse go brrrr.

Jokes aside, they probably shut off the car if it can’t phone home within a certain time period.

Once you have enough money, anything you do makes you money.

Elon blew 44 billion or Twitter, axed the servers, staff, and the name, and he was able to leverage that into a government job where he could kill investigations into his companies years later. You could say it’s intelligence, but I’d say it’s a combination of luck, and the resources to blow 44 billion and not have it affect you personally in any way.

Watch the RichRebuilds review of Chinese EVs. There is a lot of “make it look good” in their engineering, like massive painted brake calipers…that are a single piston. The cars probably aren’t as quality as other EVs, but the prices, specs, and niche features are very compelling. I’d definitely consider one in the US. Anything that isn’t a Tesla or a massive crossover would be great.

In this case I’d say it’s a difference between animals raised as a product vs animals as pets. Personally, I don’t take issue with animal products as long as the animal is treated with care during life and dignity during death, but I definitely understand why some people are against animal products. Harassing them to the point of suicide is not an acceptable reaction. I’d also put some money down that the industries she targeted had at least some involvement in harassing her.

There are 2 types of libertarians.

One group is comprised of people who think the government should basically keep the military going, and handle foreign relations when that doesn’t impede private citizens.

The other group is just Republicans who don’t like being called Republicans.

God gave us dominion over all creatures read the Bible!

There are children dying in the streets here, why don’t you do anything about them?

The foxes bread for fur here are not capable of living in the wild, “rescuing” and releasing them is the real animal abuse.

I think fox fur is fancy, fuck you lady!

Just some examples I can think of off the top of my head. People can get pretty polarized when it comes to killing, or not killing animals.

A lot of words to say “I’m wrong but I can’t admit it.”

Rolling dice, flipping a coin, shooting a single photon through a split aperture.

Cute quote, but it’s dead wrong.

Also, I fully expect trump not to be impeached (this time at least) the goal isn’t to remove him here, the goal is to get these assholes to sign their names to his bad behavior, and to slow down congress, preventing republicans from getting legislation to the floor.

Oh well. If someone gets away with a crime then it’s totally pointless to go after them for subsequent crimes. It’s that one loophole that every prosecutor hates.

The vast majority of people know for a fact that their vote mathematically does not matter

If a full third of people stayed home, that’s a systemic problem, not an individual responsibility problem.

You understand that in a two party system, these two statements are basically incompatible?

Especially when you consider that we have early voting starting a month before the election, along with mail-in voting being available in nearly every state. If you didn’t vote, it’s because you didn’t want to vote, not because you couldn’t vote. Yes, some degree of civic participation is expected, welcome to being an adult.

Someone commented just a few days ago that voting blue in OK was pointless. I brought up some stats that if every one of the non-voters in OK had voted in the last election, Kamala could have carried the state with 200k people to spare.

This. Look at how shitty we treat our soldiers. The Americans you help in the field, the lives you’ll save, they will all appreciate it, but our leaders will go out of their way to fuck you over.

That’s right. The platters are heavy, and the reader head is light, so we just whip the reader head around at 7200rpm

Well, they need to start by registering for the green party.

You can’t show up on November 6th and say “everybody should have voted for Jill Stein!” After she barely gets more votes than the worm riddled antivax conspiracy theorist that dropped out of the race and backed trump.
