You know what does make people happier? Not having dead kids. Taxation pays for healthcare for everyone and we all benefit.

Unless of course you live in the US, where taxes are actually, literally, used to kill children.

The problem isn’t taxes. Taxes are great. The problem is oligarchs and corruption.

It wasn’t on camera and no one was there apparently so the truest answer is, we don’t know.

I was at a Devin Townsend concert when the news broke. I remember it well

Good to see only 5 Americans are paying tax. That’s a great way to protest misuse of tax dollars

I think we need cool years as a baseline first. This is hardly comparable to the ‘roaring twenties.’ The 90s and the 2000s were the best decades ever. But for names, they will all be called twenty- tens, twenties, thirties, etc

The only good fascist is a dead fascist.

Can you guys just put him out of his misery already please?

What a great observation! You’re so smart and talented and attractive. That’s an excellent question phrased beautifully and- what are you doing with that hammer?

Luckily it wasn’t an American school so the crazy went as far as the earth being 6000 years old. Made for an embarrassing trip to the museum when the teacher told the guide that we were brainwashed christian children though.

Probably easier to ask if he’s been smelled in public

No, but he should. Nebuchadnezzar is dead.

I’ve never heard of collabora. I use libre all the time. Can anyone give me a tldr?

I was going off the headline ‘Most american Jews oppose the war’ and using the stat for that.

So for the stat you mentioned, 1/4 of respondents somehow think that Trump has a plan, and a clear one at that.

(Not even) 2 out of 3 is not a ‘vast majority.’ 9 out of 10 is a vast majority. What this article says is, the difference between Jews being 50/50 on the war is only 13%. So, there really is huge support from Jews on the war, just not the majority.

-why do we even care about businesses so much

We don’t, but that doesn’t help get policies enacted that benefit most of us. The point is to start bringing down corps and empowering the 99% by playing the game how it’s been set up.

It’s only a handout to small businesses, the unwritten subtext is that big corps will suddenly have big tax to pay.

Also notice, I stated revenue not profit, because larger corporations operate ‘at a loss’ to avoid paying taxes while massively expanding. This curbs that behaviour, while allowing smaller businesses the free capital to grow themselves without having to compete with corporations that can just rely on their equity to steamroll over everyone else.

Right wing dog whistles:

• tax relief for business
• lower taxes
• increased customer base
• higher turnover
• lower wages
• higher efficiency
• market competition

Any more? The left voters need no convincing, it’s the center and right that need to be convinced, hence the spin.

The last used car salesman I interacted with was great, he really went out of his way to secure the deal and gave excellent service. I’d trust him over any politician

Shockingly good news!

The universe is pretty big, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume other intelligent species have evolved eyes or equivalent structures. Heck, on earth eyes have evolved separately multiple times. It would be weird if aliens didn’t have eyes!
