I know in the US, if we taxed 100% of all US billionaire wealth, dropping their and their companies' productivity to zero, you could fund the federal government for only like 7 months. You'd squander tons of production for comparatively little gain. The problem isn't that we don't tax the rich enough, the problem is that we waste money left and right.
I think people use things like Reddit for anything because Reddit has a built in system of human curation. It's not just SEO engineered garbage fake websites like basically every search engine will yield now, or sites' internal searches pushing you to their top players instead of what you're actually searching for.
The religion he's talking about isn't Christianity. Trump wouldn't recognize Jesus Christ if he smacked him in the face. He's talking about Trumpism.
In fairness, I don't think Biden is some genius, either. Perception of his intelligence isn't helped by the fact that he apparently can't stop plagiarizing other people's speeches.
I think he thinks he'll lose, and he thinks a big loss is actually less believable to his supporters than a close loss, so he's trying to create a big loss, which will make more of his supporters Jan 6 2.0.
Most people don't want less oppression, they just want someone who will oppress the people they don't like instead of them. In fact, I think given the choices A) I get oppressed 2x but people I don't like get oppressed 3x where x is my current oppression, and B) everyone gets oppressed less, most people would choose A.
The article also mentions how storms are becoming increasingly deadly, which they're not, necessarily. It's so up and down year to year it's hard to pick out an actual trend.
All of Earth has always been a disaster zone. Do you realize how incredible it is that we don't all get eaten by lions every day like our ancestors did? Lol
Everything has a buyer at some price. These people will just have to sell at a loss, probably.
Don't worry, housing prices will crash next year and then you can buy cheap. Lol
Great info, thank you.
