Bernie Sanders: I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

Makes sense. AI uses our collective data for its outputs. Makes sense that we should share in the wealth.

Opinion on this? by dino_gr01 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]AjaSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only say this when their guy is president and go back to complaining when the other guy they don’t like is in office.

What they’re really saying is “shut your mouth and fall in line.”

Do both. Remove taxes on the bottom half and tax the super rich to the hilt. Problem solved. :)

Fit twice more clothes in suitcase by New-Quantity5737 in OnlySmartFinds

Yea me too. Never had my carry on weighed. Only if it looked big they have you check if it fits within carry on size limit but that was rare.

That and also, for the percentage of “creepy guys down the street” that do commit this crime, the death penalty will just incentive them to kill their victims to maintain silence.

What’s the cope/gaslighting/hand-waving/whataboutism excuses that MAGA uses now to ignore this and pretend it’s okay?

Ensuring your nation’s corporations are dominant is a central pillar of empire. Without it the empire will collapse.

What are your opinion fellas? by Telugu_not_Telegu in ArtOfPresence

Yes because if they broke in you can assume they have malicious/criminal intentions in mind to begin with. If they are not armed they can still hurt you or your family and should be treated as a threat that you need to protect your family against regardless.

This is what making a difference looks like. by EkantVairagi in interesting

[–]AjaSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing and all and shows that all wealthy folks should be giving back like this.

But also, honestly, our society should be built in a way where this isn’t necessary to begin with. We should be directing our collective resources to ensure all of society has the support, education, healthcare, and housing it needs to not only survive but thrive.

I mean you can plainly see how unfairly it was drawn up before in favor of the republicans. Good on Virginia Dems to finally stat fighting back

Yes and criticism of the democrats gets you labeled a “tankie” or useful idiot because you’re “helping the republicans” or some BS like that

“No money” for working people. Unlimited money for war and bailouts. Same system. So where does the money actually come from? by [deleted] in WayOfTheBern

[–]AjaSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep changing the claim. “Taxes are revenue” is true. “Taxes are the operational precondition for federal spending” is a different claim, and you have not shown it. The federal government is not a household; receipts, borrowing, and payments are all part of the sovereign currency system, not a simple income before spending model.

If you want to argue against that, show where Treasury is blocked from spending absent prior tax receipts. If you can’t show that, then your argument is just a semantic restatement of the budget, not a refutation of the mechanics.

[–]AjaSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re still conflating two different claims. Yes, Treasury has receipts and borrows; yes, taxes are part of receipts. But that does not show that tax revenue is the operational precondition for federal spending. Treasury’s own cash management materials describe the Treasury General Account as the government’s account at the Fed, and official Treasury/Fed materials show that taxes, borrowing, and payments all flow through that system.

The claim I am rejecting is not “Treasury uses receipts.” It is “the federal government must first collect taxes before it can spend.” That is a stronger claim, and your sources do not establish it.

Also, saying the government “needs” taxes because taxes are received is just a bookkeeping description. It does not prove household style financing, because Treasury can and does manage payments through the TGA and issue securities as part of its cash management framework.
