World News@lemmy.world•Hondurasgate: leaked audio links Asfura, Hernández, Trump, Milei, Netanyahu in anti-left plotEnglish
25·26 days agoWhat does the U.S. get?
The expansion of Special Zones for Employment and Economic Development (ZEDES), also known as “Private States,” in which countries cede part of their territorial sovereignty to private capital. In these zones, the country’s labor codes, minimum wage laws, environmental protection laws, and other legislation do not apply.
The creation of legislation favorable to investment by US and Israeli artificial intelligence companies in Honduras.
Jesus fucking christ
Former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández had this to say:
“In Honduras, you need force, you need logistics, you need blood. If you want to keep people under control, you need to oppress them. Squeeze them. Counter violence with violence. That’s what President Trump says, and just imagine he’s going to be there forever. How? I don’t know, but just imagine that, and do as I say. And don’t be so soft … Otherwise, you can’t do the job. That’s what Pablo Escobar said.”
Dude casually mentioning that trump plans on never ceding power, using violence

how dare you suggest we tax billionaires! Don’t you know they’re better than the rest of us? You can’t tax them because that’s not fair to the god-like status I have bestowed upon them! their money is special and shouldn’t be touched, they ripped off their workers and dodged taxes fair and square!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy?
11·2 months agoThe problem lies in the top 1% using their shares of a company as their personal bank account. They can use these shares as collateral for a loan, bypassing all income tax. If accountant can figure out how a billionaire can avoid paying taxes on the entirety of their massive yearly income, then others can figure out how to tax it properly. If you’re income is more than 70% this weird untaxable thing, then congrats, we gon’ tax it now.

52·2 months agoIt takes 3.5% of the population to affect regime change. On Saturday 2.3% (8 million Americans) poured out into the streets, furious. How many more feel the same as them, but didn’t go for whatever reason? My guess is easily another couple million. That’s… That’s just about, to even more than 3.5% of the population of the United States.
In order to look at that mass mobilization, and come away with this level of dumbass comment… I mean. Wow. What kind of lead paint tastes best? I figure you’re the person to ask

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy?
111·2 months agoListen the IRS has routinely made clear that every time it’s forensic accountants get to sink their teeth into a billionaires financials, the return on that effort is enormous. Don’t ask “how are going to tax billionaires,” first demand that they actually BE taxed.
We’ll figure it out later, man. Realistically, just have a team of specialists that focuses solely on the ultra-wealthy, and then let “unrealized gains” be taxed if they were ever used as collateral for a loan.
