Switched to an alt to shill some more?
Why is it not surprising a shill for the wealthy gets combative and resorts to insults?
The wealthiest person in America in the 1950s was JP Getty.
His worth was about $1 billion. Which would equate to $13.86 billion today.
- There were way more deductions available. Basically, nobody ever paid any taxes at such a high rate.
Ok, maybe, I’d be interested in seeing a source on this, but what qualified them for those deductions? Dumping huge sums of money back into the country and the community? There was a time the wealthy built libraries and parks and voluntarily gave some back.
- The primary reason for the post-war “golden age” that MAGA waxes nostalgia about is because almost the entire manufacturing sector of most European countries was wiped out. By comparison, the US was almost fully intact, and had a massive new base of workers trained in manufacturing. We went from a nation of farmers to a nation of city-dwelling industrialists almost overnight.
Not at all accurate. Yes, much manufacturing has left because it’s cheaper to off shore it to developing nations, but America isn’t less prosperous now. That prosperity has just been consolidated to the top 1% more and more.

I know this is a joke but it’s more likely you’d be a US National, similar to if you were born in American Samoa or Swains Island.

Examples could be physically posting a copy to the door of the defendant’s last known address, electronically posting to the court’s website, publishing a notice in a newspaper, first class and/or certified mail, social media account or email.

11·17 days agoGDPR is a law with real legal consequences that protects EU citizens (EU as in European Union).
Do European citizens frequently turn to an “affiliate for the Duluth-Superior broadcast area, which covers northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin, and the western portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula” for their news?
Do you spouse it’s easier for a local or regional organization to set policy to block warn GDPR covered connections or have someone spend time ensuring the site is GDPR compliant for the 1s? 10s? 100s? of hits they get?

1·17 days agothey don’t need to retrofit their entire website.
Except they do, because even if they’re pretty certain their site is compliant with GDPR they’d still have to review the code to make certain it is or risk legal liability if anything isn’t.
Many small to medium organizations that aren’t operating outside of the USA chose to just block connections instead.
Is there a lot of people outside the US checking an “affiliate for the Duluth-Superior broadcast area, which covers northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin, and the western portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula” regularly for their news?

103·19 days agoFox 21 is a local affiliate of Fox based in Duluth, MN. It’s a regional news source for Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
I seriously doubt they get enough traffic from GDPR regulated countries to retrofit their entire site to be compliant when it is targeted for a very specific audience in the US.
I agree with what you’re saying in the sense that someone shouldn’t be gentrified out of their home.
An elderly person on a fixed, limited income shouldn’t see their property taxes skyrocket because their neighborhood property prices are inflated and then lose their home.
