I’d really like to hear a valid argument from those who were too young to vote during the referendum and now want to stay out. I’d also like to ask them if they believe the Scots and Northern-Irish are free to leave the UK if they wanted to. Not that i expect i’ll hear something new when i ask them, I just really want to see if there is someone in that group that actually believes the things they’d say.

Do you mean ‘we, society as it is right now’ or ‘we, the human species’. Because i don’t really disagree, but at the same time i’ve seen people get through stuff i expected would kill them. I’m quite convinced some people will survive the storm. Might not be many if we continue this way though

I think youre right, most people are still too busy fucking around to notice finding out. But there will be a point everybody will see clearly how bad We’ve fucked up

Never saw that in my life, thanks for ruining my day /s

Grok is not my ai at home, grok stays outside

— is much easier to write on mac and mobile, it might indicate ai sure; but all it really says is that it was very unlikely written on a pc.

You’re right about the g, but the second part is more like ck (as in knocky), not tschi like cappuccino but ck like cacca. I’m not English nor Italian so ‘tsch’ and ‘ck’ might not be the best letters to describe the sounds.

Unless they kick the US out, invoke sanctions, attack, etc. he and they just don’t care.

I’m not too sure about tbh, quite likely he and they still won’t really care. He’ll start caring when it hurts some big companies bottom line, and he’ll only care because he’s vulnerable when big money turns against him.

You’re living in the post-truth era: doesn’t matter either way, you can just pick your preference and nobody will really care.

He’s so good at making deals nobody dares to speak to him /jk

I dont care who does it, or how they do it, just get it done asap please.

Better position would be that money they receive (profit) should be taxed since people also pay taxes based on the amount of money they receive (income). But that position is basically what we already have.

The problem with the system is that a corporation has different kinds of ‘discounts’ as workers and that those differences became excuses to greatly reduce their share of the bill (low corporate taxes are good for the economy, in general) shifting the burden to the working class (since all the money spent on education, healthcare, pensions etc does end up in the pockets of the people).

The true problem is not necessarily because the corporate tax is not high enough, it’s because the benefits of a succesful company go to a small amount of people, while a serious part of the costs (infrastructure, healthy and well educated worker) are paid by a large amount of people.

The ones who should really be taxed appropriately is this small group of people who extract a lot of value from the expenses the large group of people have. Let’s say a 1000 people together costs 1000 euro, while together they earn 1100, then it leaves 100 on the table. Right now the large group of 95 does not 95, but maybe 5 or 10. While the small group of 5 does not get 5, but 90 or 95. That small group that received the vast majority pay a much smaller percentage of what they received.

Imagine doing all that work and after all that still believing this is the best thing to spend the money on. Either it was insanely easy to get people to donate or he just gave up on the country.

There are many people who tried to compare current day wealth to the wealth of historic figures. Those are, afaik, never about hard facts but a way of translating an estimation. This article names 8 trillionaires for example. They give ganghis kahn an estimated $120 trillion, and consider mensa musa so much richer they call his wealth uncrompihensible. You can find similar lists online, i guess the same names will take a similar spot on the ranking, but the numbers will differ. They tend to look at relative wealth (they estimate that Elon Musk has xx % of all money globally and compare that to the estimated percentage of global wealth of a historic figure and translate that to a current day value).

You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you’ll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can’t go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won’t be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn’t it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don’t have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can “invest” all of their wealth. Doesn’t that sound much better? Think mate!

On Friday evening, January 21st, she repeated the saying on Twitter and Instagram, in slightly different form, adding that it was a Circassian proverb (in Turkish: öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz, ama saray ahır olur). At 2 a.m. that Saturday morning, she was detained for ‘insulting’ the Turkish President, which is as strong an admission that she’d hit the mark as it’s possible to imagine.

I read that Orbán was an inspiration to the writers of Project 2025, but i guess Erdogan might also be a real life example for Trump. He needed a few decades to turn his country from a secular democracy into a religious “democracy”. I really feel for the opposition there. How long before Trump puts people behind bars for insulating the president and locks up Democrats because of “corruption”.

One question though, what is Hunter Biden doing on the platform formerly known as Twitter? The only people he’ll run into there are people who post shit like this anyway.

Didn’t watch the video yet, but but my closeted gaydar is making loud noises already

1. Yes
2. What?
3. Huh?
4. This is the same person, right?
5. Yup

If you get a castle for free you’re not likely to be charged property tax, considering the value initially is €0. But obviously if it was such a great deal the free castles would have been sold out by now.
